Daryl,

Where do the sales figures come from?

I know Summit is working on astigmatism data for FDA submission. I know their system corrects astigmatism in other countries. As far as I know though VISX is the only filer to date.

I only know of one class action lawsuit by a shareholder aledging fraud. I also know VISX is suing them for royalty payments which Summit claims have been paid. I have heard of afew Dr. suits. (most all these are probably covered by insurance if there is a settlement against Summit). What are the others?

I also know Summit is claiming full compliance and normal business operations. The 55 layoffs were due to a restructuring due to purchase of Lens Express. I'm sure alot of BEAM stock was sold by Lens Express people after the purchase.

I would be reassured however to hear more from Summit. Maybe they feel that by saying much they will disrupt their legal status. ie. lawyers saying to have a quiet period.

I saw a TV add for Lens Express and it was impressive. Very professional.

Have you seen the adds?

Greg
