I spoke to Betty T. today, and she gave me clarification on exactly what the filing meant by safety testing. Vlnc is applying for UL approval on its batteries. It has nothing to do with whether or not the line runs properly, or whether the batteries will explode or anything. She says this process can go on simultaneously with production rampup and such. She says the small line is currently installed and operating at reduced capacity. She says right now one of the company's main goals is some sort of third party endorsement. A joint-venture or something to that effect to precede any contract announcement.

Zeev: Yours and Larry mission seem to be concentrating on FMK's forecasts. I too am inclined to believe you are clones of each other. Gee, did FMK offend your greatness and now you're looking for an apology. You and Larry spend more time defending hindsight than anything I've come across. Looking for someone to blame doesn't help the threads efforts. Valence is moving ahead, why don't you!

Zeev, Here's what I objected to:<<FMK is claiming that each line will produce 8000 laptop batteries per day, 300 days per year...>> You took my words out of context for the sake of argument. You obviously did a good job of cataloging my posts, and you should therefore have been aware that I have recently counted only 1 line and maximum of 8000 per day or about 2.5 mln per year for laptop production. If I estimated a maximum capacity for another (high speed) line, that is another matter. By representing that I estimated two lines at 8000 per day tends to make my projections unrealistic in view of the perceived market size and therefore implies that my numbers are unrealistic. By doing so, you were able to characterize my posts as unrealistic in general. It would have been effective if it was what I had actually said, in the correct context, and no one had noticed.

With due respect to all on this board, the following is my assessment of Valence today. 1. Valence cannot and does not want to provide any information which has no substance ( law suits are not wanted ) 2. LEV knows the status of all of the field testing of the initial production units. 3. The safety tests have a schedule, LEV knows the start date and the anticipated completion date, we don't 4. As stockholders, we have the potential for a major gain, time factor for contracts is unknown. 5. Government projects are not a priority for Valence. ( We hope ? ) If your long relax, if you are objective in your evaluations, keep the comments on a professional level, this is not YHOO board. Have A Happy New Year Dick
