$750,000 to $1,000,000 with an absolute tops of $2,000,000. BTW--You are right. It's not going to be significant anyway, so why debate it. Simple common sense dictates that if this was going to be a big deal for INPR, we wouldn't be sitting where we are.

Lewis, M is the Roman numeral for 1000. There's just no dragging those accountant types into real world :-) Thank heavens they only use Roman numerals for zeros (sometimes you'll see a C for 100) or we could be looking at an INPR closing price of something like CLXXXIX/XXXII (or would that be CXIC/XXXII?). Alski Edit-Don't worry that MM is Roman for 2000. Accountants use M's as multipliers so MM = M*M = 1,000,000 = M <G> You see, computers can't useually display the Roman numeral for 1,000,000; it's an M with a bar over it.
