I think your numbers are right, but conservative.

Valence will have a Gross Margin much better than the normal manufacturer, so should get a higher PSR. Also the markets Valence are selling into are growing at 25% a year.

Jay, you need to revise the number of shares upward. Currently there are already about 37 million shares, fully-diluted. This is the base.

How many more shares it will take to do the next Warbucks sale, the remainder of the shelf (plus a little more) to get through 2000, and then the "additional investment" needed to get to the $250 million run rate is anybody's guess.

FYI ... background teasers on Qualcomm/Globalstar

And the future will be along the lines of ...

I look forward to the day when Valence cells are used in many of these charming little widgets ... cellphones and PDAs are just getting started.

I look forward to the ways in which our little investment will greatly improved their usability and extend their features and performance envelope into new dimensions.

Power is a key enabler here ... and Valence seems to have the power.

Grins.

Jay, what about profits from Hanil-vlnc?
It might be safe to assume they will add
capacity as fast as Vlnc does. Perhaps
you should multiply by 1.5 to reflect adding
50% of the profits from that venture.

We also have a chance for a very large, very
free revenue stream from licensing. At this
point, hard to know the probability of that
occuring so let's not price it in and then we
can pretend to be very surprised some months down
the road.
