>also stock options (i assume this is for their employees?) what do the number of options tell me and at what price they are exercised at? (I see 3 sets of numbers..the highest exercise price being 26 cents, the lowest being 10 cents) also the NUMBER of stock options, is this FROM the outstanding, or separate and apart?< Options are usually issued to employees but they can also be issued to consultants or anyone who might work in some fashion to benefit the company or it's stock. The number of options tells you how much dilution is possible if these options are exercised. However if the price of the option exceeds the that of the stock price they will never be used and expire worthless. >now i also see another set of stock options...broken into 3 groups exercise price of .75, 1.25, 2.00 does this mean the holder of these options believes HHPK could go as high as $2? and if so, why? the expiration date is for Oct 31, 1998..how do i know how much was paid for these options? if at all?< These will probably not be exercised no matter how high managements hopes once were for who knows what reason. New options at lower prices will probably be issued. You will know if some of them have been exercised by checking the the insider trades at Yahoo. Most likely you will have to wait for future earnings reports to see how many new shares have been issued to determine the dilutive effect. Hope this helps. Regards, Jeff
