Jacques Tenzel, Re.: "....Where did you hear that the agreement with Samsung includes the phosphate technology?..." I did not read or hear about this from anywhere. This is a conclusion I derived form conf calls - subject to errors. According to Lev from Korea, cobalt was now obsolete, manganese obsolete by the end of this year, leaving the phosphate for the future battery production with a target production cost of 20 cents/whr. The NI plant is supposed to be sampling phosphate cells for commercial testing, starting March-April. If this is true, why would Samsung get a license for a technology that will soon be outdated? Getting a license agreement blessed by lawyers is a critical step prior to large capital investment. Samsung is about to commit a large amount of capital for li poly battery production. Would they make a commitment with VLNC for a technology that is to be outdated in a year? The VLNC phosphate patent news is expected in June or so. They could have agreed an arrangement in which the phosphate royalty could be different from the current rate when it is available. Ram
