RE: Westaim numbers

RE: Westaim numbersthe difference between Income of $6m and Profit of $20m is the Pharma Development Costs (the R&D and testing of the new products). these costs aren't considered part of normal operating profit but they are expensed on the income statement. the nucryst profit in 2005 may be less than 2004, due to reduced milestone payments, but clearly nucryst is still worth at least $300m and potentially much more if the Phase 2 plays out. combined with the $100m cash, this exceeds the current market cap of WED ... and leaves a free iFire call for investors who understand good luck to all
