Any thoughts on this acquisition? Seems like a good idea to me..... We were previously batting around the idea that Sterling is either using Russian SiC or licensing the process from the Russians. I'm not sure that we ever found out for sure. Not that it makes any difference. Looks like the market can't form an opinion <gg>. JF

John, Michael, et al Sterling has a plant in Danbury Ct near ATMI and I believe they even use some of ATMI's facilities. ATMI had an investment in Sterling so I believe there may have been some ATMI influence. UTCI IR affirmed that the cooperation with ATMI will continue. I have great respect for the research abilities at AHMI The addition of SiC should also be considered a plus. I would prefer some restraint on the level of salaries as a percent of total profits; nevertheless UTCI should be rated a strong buy. WL
