Fixing the gap between the interest paid on different types of savings plans could make a big difference to you! Why not contact Farmers State Bank to find out which plan is best for you! We recommend a savings program for all our customers. FARHERS STATE BARE Member FDIC Victor Because of the company's relatively small size, he said, "we need to keep ahead in technological innovation." Ribi also said that the company signed a marketing ayeement last fall with Fort Dodge Laboratories to market RIBIGEN because veterinary sales require a sales force with expertise the company does not really have. "We have only a few products to market," he said, "and we tend to get lost in the market." However, he added that the agreement was structured to maintain production at the company's Hamilton facility in order to increase the profit margin.

The company has lost money since it was founded in 1981, largely because of heavy investment in research and development. But revenues have increased significantly over the past year to help reduce those losses. Stock sales have provided the company, which has incurred no major debts, with a cash fund of about $3 million. The directors earlier this month announced a dividend in the form of a two-for-one stock split, doubling the number of outstanding shares to about seven million. The company's stock has drawn increased attention In the past year, increasing from about $7 per share last year to a record higi of more than $19 per share last month.

The stock has been trading recently at about $15 per share. Among the audience at the meeting Thursday was Tom Phillips, a broker with Kidder, Peabody and one of the largest brokerage firms in the United States. Phillips told the Republic that Ribi's stock is a speculative issue, but he added that does not carry a negative connotation. "It's just because the company has not made a profit," he said. "The stock Is very hard to put a value on." Phillips, who said he holds stock in the company, said the company's outstanding stock has a book value of about $5 million but the trading price puts the value at about $50 million.

"What gets me excited about (the stock) is that $20 billion was spent last year in the United States on cancer treatment," he said "If Ribi gets just a fraction of that, the (stock's earning potential is off the charts." "If Ribi makes $34 million for million shares (the amount outstanding before the stock split), that's $10 per share on $15 stock. The reason I got Involved is because I see a grow th potential over a period of time of five to 10 times the price I paid The stock becomes less speculative If you are willing to hold it."
