Andrew, please review and comment on the following thoughts on UTEK. 1. Since only approximately 20% of UTEK's business involves the Far East and Japan, the current problems in Asia will not be a major problem for UTEK. 2. P-Gild will eliminate up to 7 process steps from the semi manufacturing process, which will result in savings of time, materials, and floor space for the customer. The initial selling price will be about $4 million and the market could expand to $2 billion within 4 years. UTEK will sell a lot of these babies. 3. Ultrabeam's photomask pattern generating system is applicable to 0.25 micron applications and will start shipping next month. Ultrabeam will be a major contributor to UTEK's profits as early as next year. 4. Manufacture of the new high-capacity disk drives will fall right into UTEK's strength. Margins on disk drives will continue to decrease and manufacturers will need to upgrade their equipment with UTEK's cost-efficient system. 5. UTEK's earnings are going to pick up quickly, surprising a lot of people. Potential earnings are: 1997 - $1.15/share 1998 - $1.62/share 1999 - More than $2.00/share with earnings accelerating in late 1998/early 1999. UTEK stock price will increase by 50 to 60% within one year. Your thoughts? I2
