Thomas, perhaps you should use a different source for you information on financial data. Your assertion of " $10 M
in revenues and no profit in sight," is outrageously incorrect. NMTC has beaten earning estimates every quarter since it went public, and it has been profitable every quarter since December 2000. It has given guidance for revenues of $49 M, for this fiscal year ending this December. Next year, when the semi industry rolls out 0.13 micron technology big time, most of them will be producing their 0.13 micron chips with 0.18 micron equipment using NMTC's phase shift technology. Just think, with run time licenses, they will get a certain number of pennies for each chip produced. The beauty of this potential beast is there no other known physical way to accomplish what they are doing - and if they have the solid IP, which I believe they have, they got the whole game to themselves.

Thomas:

This article, dated 8/22, says the company (nmts) is already profitable. thestandard.com

You just said: With only $10M in revenues and no profit in sight.

SI says that on revenue of just over $10M, they lost $17 M. Is there something really compelling about this technology, making any patents potentially valuable, that prompts you to say this looks like a takeover candidate? Agree, this is a purely pre-chasm play.
