Do you or anyone care to comment on the earning forecast for 1999? Some say it will be 25 cents, then it justifies current price move to $5.00 based on a 20 to 22 PE. With 11 cents for 4Q,98, the 25 cents for FY99 (or roughly $10 million) seems not too off. Now for ESS to break over $9 or $10, it ought to have an earning momentum to the 45 to 50 cents for the FY1999. This translates to about $18 to $20 million of earning. Heard a rumor that some company tried to acquire ESS last year when the stock was in the below $5 range and was brushed off by ESS. Wonder at what price will ESS agree to be acquired. Steve
