I think they probably have a little more of that tax benefit to use, Hook. ....and for what little it may be worth, AIA finally came out with its report on investor's relations. AXC got a superior rating in terms of its criteria. They go into no detail whatsoever. <<Denver, CO. October 26, 1998---In response to growing concerns about the ability of public company's Investor Relations departments, The Association for Investor Assistance (A.I.A.), a not for profit entity focused on supplying investors of publicly traded companies with the information necessary to protect themselves and their investments, has conducted a survey of companies and determined which are providing investors information at a Superior level. The survey has been released in a periodic manner so as to allow all interested parties access to the comprehensive report and investor tools provided to investors here at www.investoraware.org. Today's announcement includes the most recent additions to the list containing companies who have attained a "Superior" rating by the A.I.A. Each of the companies was selected based on an exhaustive research process comprised of various criteria that enabled the A.I.A. to arrive at a substantive conclusion. The A.I.A. completed a "blind" survey of Investor Relations departments noting specific detail in regard to the aptitude and abilities of the responding personnel. The term "blind" refers to the fact that the Investor Relations departments were contacted in a manner consistent with the average investor and not necessarily as an investor assistance organization. Areas of concern or interest were: the response time of personnel to messages left, knowledge of personnel, quality of investor information sent in investor packets, access to upper management and more. A web presence for the company is also considered to be a positive factor for communication between investors and a company. The results were broken down individually, calculated, and evaluated to determine a relative value for each company. Companies receiving the "Superior" designation are as follows: Safeway Inc. (nyse: SWY), K2, Inc. (nyse: KTO), Ross Stores, Inc. (nasdaq: ROST), Adobe Systems, Inc. (nasdaq: ADBE), Andrea Electronics Corp. (amex: AND), Ampex Corp. (amex: AXC), Bema Gold Corp. (amex: ALI), Gaylord Container Co. (amex: GCR), Getchell Gold Corp. (amex: GCO), Halter Marine Group Inc. (amex: HLX), Go-Video Inc. (amex: VCR), GK Intelligent Systems (amex: GKI), Savior Technology Group, Inc. (nasdaq: SVTG), and Roadway Express, Inc. (nasdaq: ROAD). "We're dedicated to making sure investors are being given the information they need to make informed decisions," said Appel. "As the only constant in the market seems to be its volatility, it's essential that investors receive the information and answers they need." Again, investors are being asked to supply the A.I.A. with information in regard to publicly traded companies and in essence join us in the research process. The Association for Investor Awareness has no relationship with any publicly traded companies and the result of its surveys are affected solely by merit. Additionally, the A.I.A. has no affiliation with any company using the same or similar names and does not sell information in regard to its membership.>>
