Andrew, Here's the paragraph from the 10/6 update that you requested: For Nikon, this change does not come fast enough to improve their FY97 (ends Mar. 98) earnings prospects. We still expect a sizeable shortfall from their earnings forecast... For next year, however, Komatsu lasers should help improve their shipment schedules and reduce field maintenance expenses. Apart from the laser problems, Nikon still faces major hurdles in terms of inadequate stepper throughput with scanning steppers. If not corrected soon, the company will probably risk losing market share to ASMLF next year, For this reason, we are maintaining of 4-H rating on the shares. ---------------------------------- I have no other information. However, it may be possible to put certain questions to Mr. Goto through my broker; and I am interested in doing so. Wouldn't it also be useful if someone in on the conference call could put these questions to CYMI management directly? Bruce
