Being a "Moyco veteran", I have been aware of NANX for a long time. Their products are unique, patented and vastly superior to anything else. NANX has a unique niche. They are in an enviable position. Their markets are developing and changing and coming to them. THis development will not come as fast as some hope. Longer term is stellar. CEM's EKS div is now "knocking on the doors" of the chip-makers. They have their own established customers in this industry. Also, they are taking over where MOYC left off in this industry (CMP slurries). Once chip-makers go with you, they will not change. The sale becomes ongoing sales for years that can be counted on for recurring sales and revenue. MOYC and NANX are in great positions to benefit here. Mel

There's been some discussion on this topic of manufacturing cost. Let me shed some light on the facts. The company was awarded a federal grant in 1994-1995 to team with Caterpillar to use the company's materials on Cat's engines. The result at the conclusion of that project was that NANX had driven manufacturing cost and throughput dramatically: from 1 gram per day to production capacity measured in the tons, to $1,000 per gram to less than 10 cents. This company's got the edge. TT
