betty, You have done a good job analyzing estimates. Sometimes your calculations get so intense that I don't even try to follow them. As I see it, the milestone payment alone gives the company 6 cents per share. Now eliminating all the prior expenses from the write off provides a significant cushion. Excluding the milestone payment, I see no reason why the company could not run at break even and thus show at least a 6 cent profit. In fact I believe that even without the milestone they will show a profit of about 2 to 6 cents a share. If this is the case, your estimate of .10 is not at all out of line.
