W. in HK: re: LCAV. Will need more help in figuring this one. I see 9000 procedures in 1st Q. That's 3000 per mo @ $2500 less 250 for VISX and less $300 for the Doc = $5.85M rev per mo or $70M per year. (assumes no sequential growth of which there will be lots apparently). So revs are doubling over 1998 ($35M) which, in turn, was a double over 1997. But how much of that rev will be carried to bottom line? I can't figure it. Made no money on $35M last year. If make money on all above $35M (=$35M) how much (analyst est. = .1? or $4.1M on 41m sh. out.???) Or maybe they're running the business for expansion, not for profits??? Maybe the investment is based on hot topic momentum. Maybe okay too. If they could double rev's again in 2000.
