Hi Steven:

>>Glad to see that you are still holding your NXTR shares. [Holding NXTR has not been
easy for investors]<<

What else I can do? Sell for loses when I know that price is at ~60% of real value! >gggrrrr<

>>1) We will see a sale growth in 1998 due the approval in France, label expansion in Europe, and
the improved sale in US (from your earlier post). <<

Now, at summer, EU is on two months vocation, so they will lunch AB in September at best. Some additional revenue in 4Q from France. This should happen last year, before AB approval in US. I do not know who at NXTR is responsible:

1. NXTR asks for expand label, and France (with long delay turned them down), or
2. NXTR was not prepared for tough France *roosters*.

US sales grow is from NXTR salespersons, so do you believe them? I do not, but will love to be wrong on this one.

>>2) With the Glaxo deal (I know that the deal is not as good as we would like it to be) and the filing of IND for NX1831, I believe that the value of SELEX will start to be recognized. <<

SELEX value (for now, and I think forever) will be as tolls in drug development (diagnostic and target validation), not as future therapeutic drug. PASS is more promising now, imo.

>> i) positive results for MK Phase II results<<

This is very important and I hope that you and I are right.

>>do you know AB's market potential for France?<<

I guess France market is 2/3 of Germany, which is ~1/4 of EU market.
