But this summer the San Diego                                              risk-assessment company faced a near                                              meltdown of its own. When Vista                                              shareholders' equity dipped below                                              Nasdaq's minimum in August, the                                              exchange threatened to delist the stock.                                              Vista scrambled to strengthen its balance                                              sheet with a $5 million private placement                                              and a $5.1 million debt-to-equity                                              conversion. The fast footwork paid off,                                              reassuring regulators while eliminating                                              more than $6 million in debt and $1                                              million in annual interest expenses. Shares                                              popped 70%, to $5, before settling back                                              to a recent $3.88-still 88% higher than it                                              was when we featured the company in                                              our October issue ("Scouting Report").                                               What has investors brimming with                                              optimism is the likelihood that Vista will                                              turn its first-ever profit early in 1998. The                                              company has sped up the amortization of                                              goodwill, and it is poised to start the year                                              with a clean slate, according to CFO                                              Steve Hamilton.
