Spyglass <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: SPYG)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: SPYG)") end if %>, a developer of Internet software and technologies for TV set-top boxes, network computers, and cellular phones, rose $1 3/8 to $11 1/4 after disclosing a licensing agreement with Motorola <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: MOT)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: MOT)") end if %> in a federal filing on Friday. According to the filing, Spyglass agreed in June to license versions of its Mosaic and MicroServer software and its ThinGUI graphics library to Motorola for an unspecified product. Spyglass CEO Douglas Colbeth told several news outlets that the agreement is worth "multiple millions" of dollars over an unspecified time frame, making it the largest deal for the company since it entered the Internet devices market in fiscal 1997. Investors are hoping Spyglass will benefit as Internet users transition to non-PC access devices, such as screenphones and smart handheld devices. The Motorola deal validates that strategy somewhat and also provides Spyglass with some much needed visibility of its future prospects.

Vascular radiation devices maker Novoste Corp. <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: NOVT)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: NOVT)") end if %> gained $4 1/16 to $15 1/16 after saying 78 of 85 patients in a trial group of its Beta-Cath system reported a 50% reduction in their restenosis rate compared to a control group after receiving radiation treatment with the device. Restenosis refers to the renarrowing of the arteries following treatment with balloon angioplasty. After an angioplasty, healthcare workers can use the Beta-Cath to keep the arteries open, increasing the effectiveness of the less-invasive angioplasty procedure vis-a-vis the longer-lasting but more expensive and strenuous coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Novoste is hoping the system, which may be approved for limited use in Europe by the end of the year, will either become a stand-alone treatment for restenosis or will be used in conjunction with coronary stents made by firms such as Guidant <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: GDT)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: GDT)") end if %> and Boston Scientific <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: BSX)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: BSX)") end if %>.

Houston-based Waste Management <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: WMI)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: WMI)") end if %> fell $1 5/16 to $51 3/8 after announcing it will acquire Eastern Environmental Services <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: EESI)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: EESI)") end if %> in a stock swap valued at around $1.3 billion, or $33.75 per share, based on Waste Management's closing price Friday -- a 5.5% premium to Eastern's close Friday. Today Eastern lost $1 3/8 to $30 5/8. Eastern shareholders will receive 0.6406 of a Waste Management share for each Eastern share. The companies expect the transaction will add about a nickel a share to their combined 1999 earnings and anticipate synergies of around $75 million next year. The Eastern acquisition is yet another merger in the rapidly consolidating waste management industry. Last month Waste Management closed a $19.13 billion merger with USA Waste Services. Likewise, Eastern recently bought Atlantic Waste Disposal, a unit of Australian transport company Brambles Industries Ltd., as well as a Florida-based recycler. Elsewhere in the industry, Allied Waste Industries <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: AWIN)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: AWIN)") end if %> earlier this month announced plans to acquire American Disposal Services <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: ADSI)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: ADSI)") end if %> for $1.1 billion in stock.

Last week Pizza Hut took the battle from the kitchen to the courtroom by filing suit against Papa John's and challenging its "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza." advertising campaign. Pizza Hut is alleging that Papa John's ads are "false, misleading and deceptive" -- that, in fact, Papa uses "cooked and concentrated tomato sauce, stored in cans for up to 18 months," while the Hut uses vine-ripened tomatoes. Papa John's says that it has always said its sauce is made with fresh-packed tomatoes that are canned an average of six hours after being picked. It called the suit "frivolous and simply a public relations stunt," adding that the Hut is turning to the courts as a last resort -- when all else fails, sue. According to Papa John's, the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus ruled in its favor in two similar claims Pizza Hut previously made against it. In the interest of peace, we propose a pie tossing contest between the companies' CEOs to settle the issue once and for all.

Exide Corp. <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: EX)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: EX)") end if %>, the world's largest car battery maker, stalled for a loss of $2 11/16 to $12 13/16 after announcing that it has decided to scrap a recapitalization plan and that the company is not for sale. Two weeks ago the debt-ridden company said it was considering taking itself private by selling control to senior management and a third party. Today the company announced that Chairman and CEO Arthur Hawkins has advised the company's board of directors of the change in plans, citing strong support for the directors at last week's shareholders' meeting and the negative reaction of some shareholders to the proposal. Separately, Exide's treasurer, Catherine Hnatin, resigned for a "better" position elsewhere. Further complicating the issue, Exide is also being investigated by the Florida attorney general regarding allegations of deceiving investors, selling defective and used batteries, and improperly crediting customer accounts.

FOOL ON THE HILL
An Investment Opinion
by Alex Schay

Tiffany Sparkles

Nothing bad happened to investors in Tiffany & Co. <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: TIF)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: TIF)") end if %> today, as the firm reported some sparkling second quarter results and rose $2 1/16 to $42 5/8. Tiffany announced top line improvements in all three of its major distribution channels, bringing total worldwide sales up 14%. This provided ample fuel for the hard driving bottom line results of $0.37 per share (versus $0.29 last year), beating the Street's estimate of $0.34. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Tiffany has managed to come through with double-digit sales improvements in the second quarter.

U.S. retail sales increased 23% in the second quarter to $129,733,000 while aggregate U.S. comparable store sales rose 15%. Direct marketing sales rose 18% to $24,723,000 in the second quarter and 23% to $46,386,000 in the first half of the year, due to strong demand in the catalog (42% growth in catalog sales, though comparisons were easy) and corporate divisions. Of the three business segments identified for financial reporting purposes, international retail sales were the most surprising -- although supposedly not to the management at Tiffany. International sales rose 3% to $93,266,000, which doesn't seem that strong except when considered without the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar and its impact on the translation of international sales into dollars. Assuming no pesky currency translations, constant currency sales jumped 18%. In Japan, total retail sales in local currency rose 37% in the second quarter and 21% in the first half, primarily due to comparable store sales growth of 30% and 15% over those periods

With Japan accounting for two-thirds of Tiffany's international sales, and other luxury goods vendors getting hit hard, these results are impressive. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that in February Tiffany raised prices by an average of 10% in Japan. Now, it's one thing to raise prices on cheeseburgers and Coke during a recession, but to see strong sales when prices on engagement rings get bumped up is truly a testament to brand loyalty. Sales of engagement rings make up between 35-50% of Tiffany's Japan business and account for the fact that the average Tiffany sale in Japan is $600 compared with $260 in the U.S. The reasons the company gave for continued strength in Japan going forward include a 26-year presence and the deep cultural importance placed on gift giving and celebrating important occasions. Peter Schaeffer an analyst at Warburg Dillon Reed gave a decidedly more earthy explanation, "...[I]t's almost uncool to give an engagement ring in Japan that's not bought at Tiffany."

Though most of Tiffany's good tidings can be attributed to strong demand for its goods, the company also has been proactive in the inventory management area, and much business success has followed. Let's start with the company's latest distribution facility, which opened in Parsippany, New Jersey, in April of 1997. The facility, which replaced three separate facilities, has the capacity to handle 50,000 units per day -- with volume of approximately 6 million units expected for 1998 (up from 4 million in 1996). The key element in the equation, though, is the facility's ability to drive down the costs associated with delivery of each unit. This is accomplished through "advanced pick packing systems," including radio-frequency devices linked to inventory management, and improved process flow. Why talk about distribution facilities? Well, aside from streamlined distribution driving down unit processing costs, the new distribution facility provides improved inventory management and automatic replenishment capabilities, which are lynchpins in Tiffany's retail store strategy.

The ability to closely monitor inventory levels and immediately replace items that have been sold is obviously one of the defining elements of the advanced data interchange era in which we live. However, one noteworthy element of the strategy where Tiffany is concerned is the fact that with improved inventory management comes the ability to increase the amount of dedicated selling space in each store. In Tiffany's case, this translates into 60% in a new store, up from 40% in an "old" store -- increasing store productivity by over 50% and reducing initial unit outlay costs. Tiffany's reported that by year-end approximately half of its 34 U.S. stores will be in the new format.
