Laserscope (NASDAQ LSCP)
1996e EPS: $ 0.10

Top owners:
Dimensional Fund
Heatland Advisors
Barclays
Mellon Bank
Putnam Trust

52-week low: $1 3/8
52-week high: $8 7/16

I see a reference to their financials on a bankruptcy page,
but cannot find anything on insolvency. Clearly the low point
for NAV was the end of 1995.

They seem to average around .03 per share, have a good
partner in Germany (NWL Laser-Technologie GmbH), and
equipment for the treatment of a wide variety of problems
(see snippets, below, but basically cancer, disc and
cosmetic).

More info at:
biz.yahoo.com
(follow the "More Laserscope links" link).

Yahoo company summary:

"Laserscope is a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and
marketer of advanced laser surgery systems. The company's
KTP/532 Surgical Laser System is used for a broad range of dermatology, plastic surgery, ear, nose, and throat surgery
and gastroenterology, general surgery, thoracic surgery,
gynecology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, urology, and disc
surgery. The Nd:YAG is used for coagulating and vaporizing
tissues for pulmonary surgery. Laserscope's e-10 Computed
Electro Surgery System is used for cutting and monopolar
and bipolar coagulation of tissue. The company sells to
teaching hospitals, community hospitals, outpatient surgery
centers and individual physicians in the US and abroad."

Article snippet from 8/21/96:

"SAN JOSE, CALIF. (Aug. 21) BUSINESS WIRE -Aug. 21, 1996--
Laserscope (NASDAQ:LSCP) said today that it has received its one-hundredth Aura Laser System order.

Aura, a competitively-priced, desktop-sized laser, was
