Larry, you might be right. Why would Samsung even consider using Hanil's or Valence's batteries? Why would South Koreans buy from other South Koreans? Especially after other South Koreans have built a large battery plant and are starting it up? We know the Japanese are like that too. They go out of their way to import TV's, cars, radios, cameras, agricultural products etc from other countries whenever they can! Do you suppose there is a possibility that Valence's factory in Northern Ireland is working multiple shifts to build inventory to help Hanil deliver to one of their large customers, just in case Samsung decides to take delivery of solid polymer batteries for their new models coming out this fall? It's so confusing. Valence and Hanil are are in production yet there are those who insist they have no batteries for sale. It sure is puzzling!

mooter & Larry Brubaker; This is what I questioned this morning. The connection between Samsung and VLNC/Hanil is conjecture, at this moment. However, even if it is true the P.O. would go to VLNC/Hanil not directly to VLNC, U.S. or NI. These are separate corporations. I'm also sure that for tax reasons and perhaps, for subsidizing reasons there is an arms's length relationship between them. The P.O.s if any, will come from VLNC/Hanil. Having said this, we have made some progress today! John, Wall St. wants to see it all turn into earnings or projected earnings. Without that there can be no institutional support. That is what is needed to take the stock into the 20s or 30s. With institutional support we will also see splits because 28mill. shares is not enough shares to supply institutional purchasing power. I'm very hopeful that in 1 year we will see a different animal with earnings, institutional support and book value. If not, then someone will have royally, screwed up. Bill
