Our sale to Kodak was completed in July 1988, it's not exactly hot news. With Kodak capital, we aren't exactly close to bankruptcy; in fact, if you want some current ISC news, we're buying Lachman Associates. (This is a fact that has been released by us to the public, not a secret or a rumor.) Associating Interactive with Microport death rumors is unfounded if not insidious.
