For your consumption. Here's the latest, had a few hiccups, tis
a little more professional now, not this wee-hour of the morning
stuff. Ha. Hope it makes sense, fire back questions. Changed to
trailing twelve months, makes a little difference - but not much
considering you are tring to predict 4-7 years into the future.

Well, here is the updated table of predictions !
First, thanks Jason, have corrected the round off error.
I am now doing the calculations on a trailing twelve month
basis. The previous table was based on 4*current quarter.
Also, on the far right is the valuation as a momentum play.

Following table shows valuation of PRST in terms of PE of 18
for those followers that base valuation on earnings alone.
Valuation of PRST using a PSR of 2.5 for followers that base
valuation on Sales. And valuation of PRST as a momentum play
based on earnings growth.

Again, table was generated with the following assumptions:
1) No bottle neck producing plates
2) Company does not introduce new products
3) New technology steals market share in 4 1/2 years
4) No new press makes added to the customer list

Legend:
Qtr - future quarter from today
Unit Inst - number of units installed, both new and CONVERTED
Total exist - number of units in field consuming plates
Sales - revenues from equipment and plates
Earn - earnings from equipment and plates
EPS - earnings per share
PE=18 - valuation of stock at PE of 18 TTM basis
PSR=2.5 - valuation of stock at PSR of 2.5 TTM basis
Mom't - valuation of stock as a momenteum play
PE - PE value justified by earnings growth

Table expects 15000 presses equiped in 8 years, out of a field
of 150,000 presses this is somewhat low for the FIRST to market.
Personally, I believe they will attract about 18% of the market
or 27000 presses.

Addition of new customers could increase the above valuations
by as much as 60%.

New technology introduced prior to 3 years, say 1 to 1 1/2 years
will cut the above valuations in half.

Inflation actually increases the bottom values by as much as 38%.
