Well, not quite.

You addressed the possible M&A issues from your perspective yet failed to acknowledge that PTSC has done what you say it shouldn't: the Chinese partnership and the company that fell through on price.

Discussions in October and November of 2006 with a privately held company that was a merger candidate broke down over the issue of valuation. There are informal indications the other company may want to rekindle discussions

Also, what originally appeared to be promising discussions regarding a potential joint venture in China regarding the Ignite chip have dried up. Although there currently is no ongoing R&D regarding the Ignite chip, consideration is being given, among other things, to a feasibility review of the company's patent on ground penetrating radar technology and the possibility of combining it with more recent technology plus perhaps the Ignite chip.

As can be seen, just from the above, there is far more that could have been discussed without mentioning either licensing or M&A. An update on any ideas for the other "umbrella ribs" could also have been given.

Be well
