Composite score rankings were calculated by averaging each company's ranking in the following categories: change in revenue between 1997 and 1998 (above), return on assets and two-year total returns. The companies were compared against each other; ties were broken by the best one-year change in revenue. That average was then divided by four. All information supplied by Nordby International, Boulder, CO. Data is based on 1998 financial reports and is believed to be accurate as of press time.
