<<VLNC is their opportunity to make EPS profitable again, and quickly!>> If VLNC will so quickly make EPS so profitable, why did RAL bother to sell it in the first place? Do they have something against earning a profit? And if EPS is going to make such a big profit by selling VLNC batteries, does this not mean less profit for VLNC than if they simply sold their own batteries? Oh that's right, the VLNC wonder battery will command such a huge premium that both VLNC and EPS will immediately become hugely profitable as soon as that first purchase order is written:-)

A Prudential analyst, John McMillan was quoted in the Bloomberg release as saying, "People aren't brand loyal" when it comes to rechargeable batteries. "When you use your cell phone you are going to use the one the company gave you, and when you're selling to Motorola the lowest priced battery wins." This is precisely why the last SEC filing had me so riled. They lead us to believe that they may not be able to produce a cost effective product. Which may be why they don't yet have a sales force. Any comments?
