Nice to see that at the opening that there aren't any ULBI shareholders panicing. Looks orderly. Selling now would be like shooting yourself in the foot.

Justin -

The majority of that $30 million is being spent on the new production line. Once the line has been approved, shipped and installed, they will have drawn that amount down significantly.

Webpilot, I would not count on "fully automatic" production by Thanksgiving. That is probably way ahead of things. I believe there will be a gradual ramp up of production as they move from manual production to semi-automatic to automatic. Remember, Mitsubishi/HP is only one of their clients. They will not be able to devote 100% of their production capacity to making the laptop batteries.

As for the rest of you guys, I really believe that this is a minimum of $50 within the next two years. Once they prove that they can manufacture these batteries automatically, they will quickly turn profitable. Their regular 9 volt and other batteries are doing well. The company is really poised to take off. I wouldn't be selling this stock.
