And now a response from Trey in the IR department : I hope you will accept my apoligies for the tardiness of these reponses. I recieved your first email on 1/7/98. I will not bore you with the reasons for the delay but can assure you they were valid. 1. SIDT is a fully functional company with several marketable products. Currently, there is no analyst following the company. 2. The majority owners of the series E and F preferred shares are indeed investment funds or high net worth individuals. The names of which I would be more than happy to provide to you via the most current S3 filling dated 10/28/97. If you would like a copy, please forward your mailing address to me. It was at the Company's option to redeem the preferred shares for cash in December. 3. With regard to annual compensation. According to the Form 10-KSB/A filed by the company for the year 1996, Page 43 (SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE) Marc W. Eller $51,932.00 salary; $15,000.00 Bonus; $9,005.00 Other; 90,000 Options granted* Zvi Yaniv $82,131.00 salary; $32,338 Other; 1,000,000 options granted* Trey Fecteau $107,061.00 salary; $9,529.00 Other; 90,000 options granted Options were granted at significantly higher strike prices and at this point in time are of no value. This amount represents income for the entire year. **Represents relocation and associated expenses. I will also be more than happy to supply you with the 10K filing as well. I hope this information is helpful. I only wish that I had made over $200k in 96. I am sure my ex-wife and banker would have liked that also. Alas, that was not the case. Thanks for your patience. Trey Fecteau

News..this looks like the reason they elected to pay cash rather than convert for shares. SI Diamond's FEPET Subsidiary Announces Proprietary Technical Breakthrough New Process Advances Flat Panel Display Prototyping AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- SI Diamond Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIDT) announced today that its subsidiary, Field Emission Picture Element Technology, Inc. ("FEPET"), has achieved a major breakthrough with the development of its process to pattern carbon films using normal microelectronic processes without obstructing the electron emission qualities of these films. This proprietary technical breakthrough will allow the manufacturing of flat panel displays using carbon film as the cathode emitters. The patterning will be particularly useful in the triode mode that is necessary for matrix-addressed displays. This is the first time that carbon film has been patterned with such great success and without obstructing its electronic emission properties. FEPET will use this breakthrough to further its field emission technology projects for large screen display applications, which include the company's collaborative efforts with ISE Electronics and Noritake Co., Inc. "This is the result I was hoping for when I initially invested in this company," said Marc W. Eller, chairman and chief executive officer of SI Diamond. "The outstanding efforts and contributions of our dedicated technical and scientific team are finally coming to fruition." "This is a wonderful technological breakthrough," said Zvi Yaniv, president and chief operating officer of the company. "Combining our high quality carbon films having emission site density of over 250,000/cm2 with this new process will allow us to further advance in prototyping various flat panel displays utilizing our proprietary technology. Our team is working beautifully in overcoming the barriers to developing successful field emission devices." SI Diamond Technology is a holding company consisting of three wholly owned subsidiaries. SIDT's Diamond Tech One subsidiary provides wafer bumping and other micro-interconnect services for the semi-conductor and display industries. The Field Emission Picture Element Technology subsidiary is developing products for applications utilizing SIDT's proprietary field emission technology. The Electronic Billboard Technology subsidiary is geared toward the commercialization of SIDT's digitized sign technology. SOURCE SI Diamond Technology, Inc.
