***OFF TOPIC***

Melkon,

Cymer has shipped two industrial lasers a quarter for the past two quarters. These are used for varied applications and are not Cymer's main line of business(In fact the $3M they received from Seiko, may have been larger than the revenues they could have expected for the next year or so for this product line). From the same 10K you clipped from:

The Company's HPL-100K/110K series KrF excimer lasers are
designed to meet the rigors of high duty cycle industrial usage,
such as microdrilling, micromachining and annealing applications.
The laser operates at a 200 to 250Hz pulse repetition rate and
provides average power output of 100 watts for the HPL-100K and
110 watts for the HPL-110K. The pulse repetition rate and high
power makes these lasers well suited for micro-fabrication
processes. The Company is currently focusing its development and
marketing efforts on its photolithography laser products, and the
Company expects minimal revenues from industrial laser products
in 1998. *


So in repsonse to your questions, no this is not news(to most who follow the stock), the implications are minor, and it won't impact Q1 earnings.
