ACCOM Possible Acquisition Target? Randy, Would you be hinting that ACCOM may be a good acquisition for AXC? Wasn't this the company with all the flying duck references in previous posts on this very board? Regards, Tom

Ampex's IBD Statistics Ampex's Investor's Business Daily statistics regarding EPS, Relative Strength, Accumulation Distribution, etc. as published in the AMEX Tables of IBD on Monday, March 11, 1999 are: Category 02/11/99 EPS Rank 15 Relative Strength 96 Group Strength A Accumulation Distribution A Sales/Profit Margins/ROE N/A Annual Earnings Growth N/A Quarter EPS Change N/A Quarter Sales Change N/A # of Funds Own N/A Legend EPS Rank - Measures a company's earnings per share growth in the last 5 years and the stability of that growth. The %change in the last two quarters' earnings vs. same quarters a year earlier is combined and averaged with the 5 year record. Result is compared to all companies in the tables and ranked on a scale of 1 to 99, with 99 the highest. A 90 rank means the company produced earnings in the top 10%. Companies with superior earnings records rank 80 or higher. Relative Price Strength - Measures daily each stock's relative price change over the last 12 months compared to all other stocks in the tables. Results are ranked 1 to 99. Stocks ranking below 70 indicate weaker or more laggard relative performance. Group Rank - Industry Group Relative Strength Rating compares the stock's industry group price performance over the past 6 months to the other 196 industry groups. A = top 20%, B = top 40%, etc. with E = bottom 20%. Sales/Profit Margins/ROE - Rating combines into one simple A to E rating ('A' being best, represents the top 20% of all stocks), four fundamental factors used by all analysts today...a company's sales growth rate over the last 3 quarters, before- and after-tax margins, and return on equity. Sales growth and after-tax margins are computed using quarterly figures, and ROE and pre-tax margins are annual. All four factors take into account acceleration (rate of increase). Accumulation Distribution - Rating takes into account the percent change in a stock's daily price and its volume. "A" is strongest "E" is weakest. Accumulation-Distribution should be used with other fundamental and technical factors to determine investment decisions. Lets go Ampex! Regards, Tom
