no, Spencer, the difference between the issue (2.7 mil in this case) and the
float (1.2 mil) usually represents the portion of the total issue owned by
management. Those shares are already issued, and count in calculations of
EPS for example.

What I am suggesting as likely to happen in the future, because there are so
few shares in the float (available for public trading), is that more shares
will be put into the float either by a new Primary Offering (what I used to
call a secondary since it followed the Initial Public Offering IPO), or
Management will sell some of their otherwise restricted 1.5 mil shares, or
they may do a stock split (which doesn't change the value of the investment,
but does increase the number of shares issued, and thereby also creates a
larger and more liquid float.

Tom:

     When you say "new offering", do you mean this:  According to DGO, TASR
has 2.7 Million Shares Outstanding and 1.2 Million in the Float.  So if it
offers new shares, it can offer any of the difference between the 2.7
Outstanding and the 1.2 Float.  Is that correct?  Also is the total
difference  between 2.7 and 1.2 all Treasury Stock, or would it be Treasury
Stock + some other grade of the stock?
     As far as offering other stock, is it possible that TASR could do
something else, for instance issue more shares (or is this-practical
wise-infeasible)?
