John, after listening to the cc, I still don't have a very good idea of how big Concept Technologies is. Other than learning that Concept owns a building and a bad balance sheet, not much was said about them. It was clear what Brad's goal is for developing epi by making it more attractive as a technology by reducing the operating costs from presently $30 per wafer to half that, in order to compete better with CVD at $3 per wafer. Still, I don't have a good idea of how big Concept is, or what the acquisition will do to the combined company's balance sheet and margins. I also didn't quite understand how many shares would be swapped for the acquisition. Something was said about 800 k shares and then something about maybe 500 k more?
