Karl, Your comment relates to one of my posts a while back. I used to be a manufacturing consultant with GE. It was fairly common to see production problems in companies that were making the transition from R&D to product seller. So, a key question may be: Does BLTI have experience "production people" in-house to help speed this transition? Bottlenecks are the key elements that many people miss. Instead, poor management can lead to large investments into un-needed work-in-progress. This ties up capital where it's not doing the company any good. (At one GE plant, when sales slowed, managers had workers occupy themselves by building housings for units to be sold in the future. In 2 months, the plant had invested $8million into finished housings which would take at least 2 years to sell under good market conditions.) FWIW Jeff
