If anyone gets thru to the company I'd like to know when CATS news will be out. Martinez had stated that JMAR wouldn't be financing after 1997. It would appear as though they are on their own presently, or a deal has been made. I think we would all like to know how it was resolved. Either news would be welcome.

Regarding this portion: >>> we guesstimate the number of machines produced would easily exceed 500 and each one might cost $2,500,000. JMAR's patented X-ray lithograhy source would be a component of each machine and the key piece. Guesstimating it might represent 40% -50% of the total price, one quickly sees the potential impact this one product could have on JMAR. As the only manufacturer of this unique product, one could presume profit margins north of 20%. With IBM recently announcing their new $700 million X-ray lithography plant for 12" wafers, JMAR's X-ray lithography source technology will soon excite knowledgeable investors and micropchip manufacturers."<<< The "machines" will have a total cost closer to $9-10 million--$2 million or so of which will be the JMAR light source and another $7-8 million for the stepper. Also -- No one should be led to believe by this report that the IBM lithography plant will possibly be filled with JMAR's XRL point source. IBM will be using primarily synchrotrons for XRL -- but that's NOT to say they couldn't also use some of JMAR's point source equipment. I just think this report leaves a lot of things unsaid that could lead one to believe something that isn't true. Betty
