Dear REFR: Over the pst two years I have traded your security profitably twice and recently, due to your dramatic advancements within foreign markets have decided to take a long term position. I have noted on the thread that an individual continues to submit information that is contrary to what appears to come from the company. As an attorney, adept in prosecuting fraud within the marketplace, this type of information is of interest to me. One of you, either the company, or the individual poster is not telling the truth. With this in mind, I request both you Mr. Wexler, and a spokeperson from REFR, to submit information to me for review and presentation to the SEC. After review and submission I expect that either the company, or Mr. Wexler will be the subject of a securities related suit. Thank you both for your prompt attention to the contents of this posting and best wishes to you both. It is time that the actual fraudulent source be quieted. David H. Zimmer dhzone@concentric.net

The REFR stock fraud The following is excerpted from Dr. Carl Lampert's recent paper: [...Electrochromics are favored for many applications because when they switch they remain spcular and non-scattering. This means they can be used for the widest variety of applications. They can be easily powered because of their low voltage. Electrochromics have been commercialized for automotive mirrors. Fairly large windows have been fabricated and installed in buildings by both Pilkington/Flabeg and Asahi Glass...] There is no doubt that there is a massive amount of momentum behind electrochromic technology. In its 35 year history, RFI has failed to commercialize a single product. There are problems associated with ALL switchable glazings (production costs, durability, etc.) but there is no doubt that electrochromic products have already established themselves in the marketplace and enjoy wide patent protection. RFI stock promoters have made much of the fact that Hankuk glass (Korea) demonstrated an SPD sunroof two years ago. Since then, Hankuk has failed to commercialize the product. In the meantime, Mercedes Benz recently demonstrated a working electrochrmoic sunroof and plans to offer it on several car models. SPD technology has several problems associated with it. Odd power requirements, susceptibility to heat and poor transmittance range are just the beginning.

Bill, I don't have any of this stock. I'd read about this company elsewhere (very briefly) and was "just looking." As the article was written by an Alan Brown, have you contacted him to inquire as to reasons for his inclusion of it at that site? From the article: The technology is based on emulsions of liquid matrix polymers (LCPs) and suspensions of Research Frontiers' proprietary light absorbing particles. A family member does polymer research (totally unrelated to this industry) so maybe I should ask him about this "liquid matrix polymer" referred to. I sure don't understand at this point what that means. Also, what are these "proprietary absorbing particles?" TIA
