Here's the latest press release. This must be an attempt to take some of the focus from their upcoming Q1 results. It's appropriate that it's released the day of the last Seinfeld episode. This press release is about nothing... Ryan -------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday May 14, 9:50 am Eastern Time Company Press Release The Panda Project Announces VSPA Prototype Orders BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 1998--The Panda Project Inc. (Nasdaq:PNDA - news) Thursday announced that it has received two new prototype orders for its VSPA(tm) semiconductor package. Shipment of the completed prototypes is expected to occur in June 1998. Production volumes are expected late in the third quarter. The customer names and products are being kept confidential until the products are officially announced. One of the products is being produced on Panda's VSPA Flex automated assembly machine, while the other will use a new dedicated, high volume machine at the Panda North facility in Boca Raton. Stanford W. Crane Jr., president and CEO of The Panda Project Inc. said: ''There are many reasons a semiconductor company chooses to use VSPA, but they all add up to better value. One of the customers is using a VSPA 360 because due to its superior thermal performance and a lower total applied cost of the package. The other customer is using VSPA as a multichip module platform and found the performance and cost benefits to be compelling.'' Crane added, ''The customers represent suppliers to the telecom/datacom markets.'' Forward-looking statements in this release, including statements concerning commercialization, production and future shipments of the VSPA(tm) product, are based on information available to the company as of the date hereof and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are delays in product development, fluctuations in demand for the company's products, competitive pressures, general economic conditions, risks of intellectual property litigation, and the risk factors detailed from time to time in the company's periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
