views? sure. What type of powder mfg capacity do they have? Have they been able to aggressively reduce cost/pound? they have, what is considered by others in industry, a very expensive manufacturing process. They may have an advantage in the range of products they can make but the achilles heel seems to be the cost/pound. If they can drive this down to a desireable market price point they can really ramp up revenues. Their cosmetics business on the high end, which was their big application a few years back isn't going to drive them to the $100 million revenue goal they were thinking of 3-4 years ago.

lastly, their main VC group, Arch development seems to have a knack for making money for themselves. A previous ceramics related business they worked with, Illinois Superconductor, last I looked (which was 3-4 months ago) was trading in the $1-2 range.
