[VALUATION]

Rainier,

According to independent research (Red Chip Review) the target
market for LTK procedure in the Americas and Europe (why exclude
the high income of Europeans) is over 200 million people.
That number reflects 31% of the population over age 40 with simple
hyperopia (between +0.75 and +2.5 diopters). At $100 per
procedure, the potential market totals $40 billion, EXCLUDING
laser system sales. At a 5% penetration rate, the market potential
is $2 billion.

This does NOT include people who have become hyperopic due to
overcorrection of their myopia via PRK or LASIK procedures.
The FDA just gave approval for this treatment modality, which has
been done successfully outside the U.S. for about four years.
Another group of people who have been successfully treated with
almost no regression outside the U.S. are hyperopics up to +4.5 dioptors.
SNRS simply doubles the number of "shots" around the
cornea to achieve the greater results, (14 vs. 8, I believe)

Of course, this is my opinion, although I did consult the two
anaylists covering SNRS for market penetration numbers.

Regards,
Skane
