Hi Don,
I'm glad you had a chance to speak to some other people on Wolf. I attended the Dental Conference in Vancouver at the Pan Pacific on Friday and the feedback from the Dentists was incredible. Everyone that I spoke to agreed that their biggest problem was getting the correct shading of the tooth. I came away even more excited about this whole deal. I saw the machine and how it works - there were many demos given to the dentists.
I wanted to post the news release we had out on Friday, March 13, 1998 here so you could see it. I also have an executive summary that's probably too long to post but if you call me, I'll fax it to you.
I'll keep you updated, but right now it looks like we'll be attending three more dental conferences: Portland, San Francisco and New York. Portland is the one that's coming up though I don't have the exact day yet. If the feedback is anything like what we got in Vancouver, this technology is going to sell itself. The time frame for getting it to market is 2-3 months.

Further, the Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into negotiations with ANDREW ENGINEERING INC., whereby Andrew Engineering will license a Patent and transfer all accompanying proprietary knowledge applicable to a certain Dental Colour Analyzer on a world wide basis to the Company.
The Patented Dental Colour Analyzer was developed to assist the dental industry by determining the shades and colours of dental materials used in replacement and/or restorative work in dentistry, and precisely matching these shades to the original teeth of patients.
The Dental Colour Analyzer is designed to discriminate between the most minute differences in tooth colouring, and determine the best colour match for partial or total replacement restorative material. The device takes account for "metamerism", i.e. differences in colour perception of spectrally unmatched materials when illuminated with
different light sources such as sunlight, incandescent lamps, and fluorescent lamps.
