LISTED IS A REPLY TO MY E-MAIL TO FSII. YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE IF YOU Wubj: bookings since last press release of 6/27/97 Date: 97-08-19 09:35:32 EDT From: herickson@fsi-intl.com (Heide Erickson) Reply-to: herickson@fsi-intl.com To: BELEWE@aol.com
Dear Mr. Cohen,
thank you for your interest in FSI International, Inc.
We stated in our third quarter earnings release that we expect to "see improved sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997" and that "interest in orders during the third quarter has been encouraging and our backlog has been increasing in the last three quarters". You are correct in that we have not made many order announcements during the last weeks. However, I can assure you that we certainly are receiving orders.
We are not announcing every order we receive. Sometimes, the customer does not want to be named, other times the order size is not significant enough to warrant on order announcement, or for strategic reasons we decided not to issue a press release. We are, however, certainly aware of the need of the investment community to receive updates on FSI business activity.
Please feel free to call me (612-361-7648) if you like to discuss this or other issues in more detail.
Sincerely, Heide Erickson Manager, Investor Relations

comments: IT IS VERY DISTURBING NOT TO SEE ANY UPDATES OF BOOKINGS SINCE 6/27/97. HOPEFULLY THIS IS AN OVERSIGHT OF MANAGEMENT NOT BRINGING INVESTORS UP TO DATE ON BUSINESS COMING IN UNLESS THERE IS NONE. THAT WOULD BE TOTAL DISASTER. PLEASE PASS THIS NOTE TO THE CEO/PRESIDENT AND WOULD APPRECIATE AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE FROM EITHER AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING.
