I think your right. Watch those revenues grow and great
earnings will follow. It is better to be at the party a little early than to get there late when the keg is dry. Although I am not a shareholder yet, I like what I see here.

Kevin, since you have criticized me for my "short sightedness", I would like to explain my reasons for being Surprised.

The company list several reasons for the shortfall, one of which as you have pointed out is certainly justified. However, they also mentioned weather conditions and a lack of sales of kits for vomitoxin. This may be true, but just last quarter they were bragging of increased sales and PROFIT despite a decrease in vomitoxin sales. The press release also list increased administration cost due to higher LEGAL fees. Where did these lawsuits come from?

Kevin, I did not buy my shares of NEOG as a short term investment, but I also believe I was not given a complete story by the company when I contacted them just prior to purchasing my shares. This is what surprises me.

I wish NEOG great success as I originally became interested in this company after my niece contacted E.coli. But I remain very surprised at the release today and find it a little disturbing.

Good Investing:
Steve

As if things weren't bad enough-from current issue of Gourmet News:
Rapid E.coli detector found

SPRINGFILED, Mass- - Two professors at Springfield College, based
here, have developed the Motility Channel Pathogen Detector, a new method
of detecting lethal strains of E.coli quickly enough to allow processors
of meat poultry and other foods to prevent the distribution of
contaminated foods.
Professor of Biology Chun-Kun Wun and Professor of Chemistry Frank
J. Torre claim that the detector, which comes in a kit, can identify
E.coli 0157:H7 in eight to 24 hours in not only meat, but the intestines
of live animals as well.
According to a prepared release, the detector is inexpensive and
can be used by a technician with three to four hours of instruction.
Wun and Torre began research and experimentation with the Motility
Channel Pathogen Detector in 1996; licensing agreements are expected to be
completed in the United States and internationally by July.
