You might want to brush up on your SEC regulations.

An 8-K "is used to report the occurrence of any material events or corporate changes which are of importance to investors or security holders and previously have not been reported by the registrant [emphasis added]

While you might think it is frivolous, the SEC thinks it is required.

Kevin...

I have a different take on TAVA's potential.

Their press release indicated employment of 470 people end of quarter. Lets assume that for the next 12 months their employment averages 500, a very conservative figure.

I believe that revenue per employee is a good gauge in the absence of a lot of other data. I would expect that as a service org. and a SW company that a revenue per employee should be at least $500K. I really believe it should be $1.0m or higher but lets use the $500k figure.

That translates to 500 employees*$500K/employee = $250M. I believe is unattainable based on a "blow out" FY 97 of $36 million. Thus they need to add a ton more people and that becomes an endless circle.

Is my math correct? Am I missing something? Comments appreciated.
