Hi Ed,

Indeed REFR could probably do very well (or at least make $1 per share) with $60 per square foot film and 0.01% of the flat glass market (if the glass market numbers at smartglass.com are good numbers?). However it is comforting if a company articulates a consistent strategy regarding market share and product pricing.

Maybe its just me, but I'd be willing to pay up for glass that stops bullets if I have that concern, relative to glass that stops sun rays. For stopping sun rays, mini-blinds will do a serviceable if perhaps somewhat unaesthetic job at the $3 per square foot range.

I did research the circumstances of Saxe's 2002 sells. He claimed that they were do to margin calls and didn't reflect poorly on his outlook for the company.

A lot of interesting stiff in the above release. I do note that they target $1 - $1.50 per square foot royalty on the low end. If the 15% royalty is their plan, that would indicate that possibly they had a target price for smart glass in the $10 per square foot range in 2002?

Thanks,
