Default concatenation

In Excel 2007, I have 2 columns, A & B.
I am referencing cells A39 and F39.
A39 is a text cell.
F39 is a red colored number cell.
I used the formula: =A39&" "&F39.
I get the result: Bathtubs -154 (the -154 value turned from red to
black).
That is great but how do you conditional format the -154 value to be:
Green is positive and red for negative.
I don't have any trouble if the cell just has a number in it but i can't get
conditional formatting to work when doing a concatanation.
Thanks
