RUMOR - RUMOR - RUMOR - RUMOR... ALTS has supposedly lined up financing, but not just financing to allow them to operate for another extra few quarters, but presumably to purchase a partnering company. That is right, I personally have difficulty believing it, but apparently they are in discussions with a privately held business partner that has complimentary/supportive technology to that of EB's. The idea is to bundle/package the technologies so as to broaden the potential for each of the company's respective products. It is possibly one of the subsidiary companies of SAIC (Science Applications International Corp), which I understand to be employee owned. This company, from what I've heard, has/had already been assisting ALTS with the later stages of development of EB. It may have also been influential/helpful in landing the recent BNFL contract for ALTS. SAIC (if the case) is absolutely enormous by comparison with over $4 billion in sales. The company is into everything -- you name it. I don't know any more -- and I want to sincerely qualify all of this as a RUMOR. Which I am passing on -- not starting. This is not an effort to pump and dump ALTS. This may not even be a good thing if true, although I suppose it would be -- I don't know. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I just hope this does not turn out to be a turkey. -JH
