Der nächste Nanopierce Thread!

Bisher wurde spekuliert, dass größere Verträge wahrscheinlich noch ein halbes Jahr (mindestens) auf sich warten lassen werden. Da jetzt aber die Finanzierung - mit der Möglichkeit insgesamt bis zu 55 Mill. Dollar(!) zu leihen - abgeschlossen wurde, obwohl immer betont wurde, dass noch genügend Geld für die nächsten Monate (bzw. 1 1/2 Jahre) vorhanden ist, wird im RB Board spekuliert, wie lange welche Produkte mit NCS bis zur Marktreife brauchen könnten.

Die folgende Spekulation ist von Kent auf dem RB Board und als Spekulation selbstverständlich mit grosser Vorsicht zu geniessen. Bei NPCT hatten wir ja schon öfter den Eindruck, Verträge müssen unmittelbar vor der Tür stehen ...
Also nicht gleich Haus und Hof verwetten . Es ist aber auf jeden Fall interessant, wie ich meine:


Norm and all, I am looking at the circumstantial and direct evidence that is stacking up. I`ll present my case with the evidence as I see it...

1) Elcos Ag, LED`s.. That was stated to be as big if not bigger than smart tags/labels. Also stated was that revenue could commence from LED`s before the end of year 2000 (this year).

2) ORGA. Beta testing will commence once the modules are produced and sent to NPCT Gmbh for assembly. We saw a lot of modules going through The Machine on Oct. 6. It is my conjecture that we should hear of Orga in receipt of 50,000 smart cards for beta testing very soon.

3) Schlumberger and GemPlus have been only mentioned in the 10K and in interviews in the past year and a half. Something could break with them any time now.

4) Taiko Denke is still mentioned in the filings and that could break soon.

5) Cell phone players are being courted. The company set up specifically to market NCS to cell phone companies could break news any time regarding the mentioned (open house and interviews) companies of Nokia and Ericson. Motorola has been hinted at in interviews.

6) Wafer piercing (Deposition of NCS on semiconductor modules on high density wafers for flex circuits) has been indicated as a focus of Colorado Spring`s office. Companies hinted at within open house and interviews are IBM, Intel, Infineon, Phillips, and Motorola.

7) In reading the press release for the current $15 million financing, I took strong note of this statement: "$35-$55 Million Financing Facility with
recognized industry partners". This could be strongly interpreted that there could very well be a significant equity placement as part of a contract from one or more industry partners. That is one of the strongest votes of confidence we could see.

8) There has been statements regarding Boeing requesting specifications utilizing NCS for their flex circuits. That is ongoing and could be announced any time now.

9) Re-ordering for clarity Paul`s statement on revenue in the interview a week and a half ago (thanks to Kathy for the transcript) we can get an idea of what he is expecting

"- Revenue growth will occur, beginning in the next 6 months.
- I think the first revenues are going to be generated from supplying our technology to people like Orga Kartensystems
- I think LED arrays is going to become a very near term revenue generator
- It will really kick in, about a year from now
- Two years from now, smart labels are going to come on very big, and I’m talking measured markets in the billions of dollars. "

10) In addition, in the closing of the CEOCast interview, Paul indicated that we will hear of their intention for Nasdaq application in the "very near term." We had the first mention in last Friday`s (Oct. 20, 2000) press release.

11) In addition, following the mention of Nasdaq application very near term, Paul also indicated that we should hear announcements of "additional working relationship with many of the companies" he has mentioned in the next 6 to 8 months. Those companies not currently announced or with in SEC filings are; Phillips, Infineon, Nokia, Ericson, Motorola, Boeing, Intel, and IBM.

Closing Statement:
With the preponderence of circumstantial and direct evidence, we should hear:
- By year`s end beginning revenue from Elcos AG and Orga
- Nasdaq Application very soon (and we should achieve $4 or greater sustained very soon)
- Additional information regarding current players with NPCT (Schlumberger, GemPlus, Taiko Denke, Boeing, Simotec)in the near term (from now to within three to four months is my Guess)
- Additional agreements announced with new players that have been named dropped recently (Nokia, Ericson, Phillips, Motorola, Infineon, IBM, and Intel) in the next 6 to 8 months. The statement "next 6 to 8 months" does not mean to me we have to wait for 6 to 8 months. Legalise reading of this means within the next time frame starting now to the next 6 to 8 months with expectations moderated on the 6 to 8 months time frame.
- The $15 million financing also indicates strong future financing from industry partners of $35 to $55 million. That indicates to me that several industry partners (smart card/tag/label, LED, Cell Phone, Wafer, etc.) are looking to infuse capital into NPCT.
- Revenue growth begins in the next six months, accelerate a year from now and be gang busters in the next two years.

For a company that is emerging and has been going through substantial growing pains in the past two and 3/4 years, NPCT is developing far stronger than I had even imagined in my talks with Paul two years and one year ago (when things were a bit calmer). This is the transitional point of emerging to reality. The open house could be perceived as NPCT step into the adult world.

In reading over the transcript on Kathy`s site of the interview, I found I forgot to include Siemens.

Fazit: es gibt noch mehr Kohle, lest selber:


NanoPierce Closes $15M Funding Effort; Additional $35-$55 Million Industry Financing Under Active Discussion -- 9:09 AM EDT


DENVER, Oct 23, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NANOPIERCE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(NPCT:OTCBB & NPI:Frankfurt Stock Exchange & Hamburg Stock Exchange) today
announced that it closed a $15,000,000 Equity Financing. The Financing includes
common stock and incentive warrants.

The Financing is divided into two installments, which allows the Company, at its
option, in approximately 200 days, to sell additional common shares and warrants
to access an additional $7.5 Million, based on the then market price, from the
same financial institution.

The first installment of $7.5 Million not only improves the financial strength
of NanoPierce, but also provides sufficient capital to accelerate achievement of
the Company`s Strategic Business Plan and enables the Company to plan for
listing on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market.

As a result of this financing, the outstanding Convertible Debentures held by
Equinox Investors, LLC, were redeemed by the Company. The redemption has removed
approximately $2 Million of the Company`s debt. Further, the redemption has
eliminated the overhang on the market represented by the unconverted principal
amount of the debentures. Assets have increased by $7,000,000. Except for
current liabilities of less than an estimated $300,000, the Company has no debt.
This significantly increases Shareholders Equity.

Paul H. Metzinger, President and CEO stated, "The closing of this financing
represents an unbelievable achievement for a small developmental Bulletin Board
company. In my entire career I am not aware of any Bulletin Board company that
has ever accomplished a $15 Million equity only financing. The impact of this
financing cannot be understated. We will accelerate the implementation of our
Strategic Business Plan, especially in the smart label and waferpierce
applications. We will now be able to exhibit the financial credibility necessary
for dealing with major industry partners in the electronics industry. "

Mr. Metzinger also indicated that this is only the first stage of a major
financing campaign he has initiated. The Company is actively pursuing, with a
major institutional advisor, a $35-$55 Million Financing Facility with
recognized industry partners. "Preliminary response is encouraging," he said.

Further information on the Equity Financing can be obtained by accessing the
Company`s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

Hallo!

Ich hab mal ´ne Frage zum Wechsel an die Small-Cap NASDAQ. Wenn NPCT an die NAS will, muß doch der Kurs für 90(?) Tage über 4 USD sein. Das wären im Moment "mal eben" knapp 100%. Gab es schon Aussagen über einen Termin für´s neue Listing? Ich Frage mich auch wie NPCT den Kurs dauerhaft über 4 USD halten will. Ohne Verträge, oder zumindest Vorverträge, wird da wohl nicht viel laufen. Vor allem bei der Momentanen Marktsituation, da kann man mit Phantasie nicht viel erreichen.

Gruß, Dirk.

[jetsia dax]

Dirk_I,

der Aktienpreis muss bei der Bewerbung 4 $ betragen und darf während der Begutachtungszeit nicht längere Zeit unter diese Marke rutschen. Es gibt keine festen Regeln, die Nasdaq hält sich da bewusst vage. Ich denke wir werden demnächst von den Karten für die Beta-Tests bei Orga hören. Wenn die gut laufen, kommen Verträge, dann ist Nasdaq kein Problem. Aber ich denke, dass wird noch etwas dauern. Es sei denn, NPCT hat noch Trümpfe im Ärmel (zB ein Joint Venture mit einer grossen Firma) so was könnte den Aktienpreis auch schnell hochkatapultieren. Aber ich rechne im Grunde erst Anfang nächsten Jahres mit Einkünften, lassen wir uns überraschen ...

Hier die neueste e-mail von Kathy

E-mail from Investor to Investor re:NPCT

"""""""""
Dear Investor to Investor readers:

Nanopierce is conducting a Board of Directors Meeting which started yesterday and may go into the rest of this week. Dr. Wernle flew in from Munich for it. I was told that this is the most important board of director`s meeting in Nanopierce`s history. While I am not privy to the agenda and discussions going forward, I would surmise that since the funding has been received, they can go forward and vote on the addition of two new members to the board, which would include Al Capote who we were introduced to at the Open House.

I spoke to Al Capote about a week ago and established an initial conversation. I will be interviewing him, but I wanted to wait until the Board of Directors meeting and any possible announcements that might be forthcoming. I thought it best to wait until Mr. Capote was officially named to the Board of Directors. The meeting began yesterday and may go on for a couple of days, so I don`t expect we will hear anything before then, but then I could be wrong. Since I am not privy to the goings on at the meeting your guess would be good as mine right now. We need the new directors as a qualification for Nasdaq Small Cap listing. The only thing needed to qualify for after that would be to have the stock price trading above $4 on the bid for 30 days. We have two months to go before year`s end so it is still possible that a filing could be made by then.

I have heard that there is something really important in the works pertaining to a possible contract for NCS, but I don`t have any details on that. A significant contract is important and would be, in my opinion, a great catalyst to the stock price.

I notice there has been a lot of speculation going on about "tweaking" the system on the prototype machine. The time it takes to do that is not the important factor in my opinion. What is important is that the system produce the same high quality level of performance from the first to the last module produced for Orga. The delay has been in Orga producing a special module tape that will satisfy their needs for NCS to be deposited on. The full tape
was not yet received at the time of the Open House. This gave Dr. Neuhaus and company time to do all the tweaking that they so desired while awaiting the delivery of the tape. The tape we saw on the machine at the Open House was a generic tape, not the actual modules for Orga. What that tape was useful for is to make samples and to demonstrate how the machine works for the onlookers
at the Open House.

Elcos has been "designing in" NCS to their system for LED arrays and I would think that it is nearing a point where they can produce some kind of prototype to use for selling LED arrays with NCS as the connection system. I think if we were to see news on all of these items, things would pick up exponentially in the stock price and in Nanopierce`s other business as well.

I am quite content to wait patiently but with anticipation for further news to come out. Nanopierce is developing its business in a wise and well thought out manner and promises to be a very exciting adventure for all of its long term investors who have the patience to wait it out.

Nanopierce Technologies, Inc., (OTCBB: NPCT) is a high technology company, headquartered in Denver.

Its technology is the Nanopierce Connection System (NCS), a revolutionary and enabling technology used to make highly reliable electrical connections without the need for soldering or traditional pin-in-hole connectors. NCS is based on the co-deposition of microscopic particles and metal on a contact surface. The particles work like "conductive sandpaper", serving as force concentrators. The resulting connections can be made at very low force, exhibit low electrical resistance and outstanding RF performance. The absence of moving parts is ideal for miniaturization and improved reliability. NCS creates an alternative to today’s technology. Manufacturers can now develop higher density circuit boards that are compact, reliable and most importantly affordable. NCS has already proven itself in several niche markets including automated test equipment for packaged semiconductor ICs. NCS is ready for commercial application immediately. The Company believes that additional market segments can be penetrated without additional technology development.


NCS enjoys excellent patent protection. The company currently owns 12 patents protecting its intellectual property and has numerous other applications in process. The earliest patent was issued in 1989. The Company is pursuing several new opportunities for joint ventures with industry leaders that will exploit the cost and performance capabilities of NCS. For example, Boeing has specified the use of NCS in a circuit board required for a proprietary system. The Company has also entered into agreements with numerous national and international firms’ relating to its NCS technology.


Its wholly-owned subsidiary was created to market the Company’s technology initially within the Smartcard/Smartlabel industry and eventually for all other electronic applications on an international basis. In spring of 2000, the Company opened a facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This facility is utilized for the development of further applications of the NCS Technology. The facility houses the plating system used for the application of NCS to modules used in the production of Smart Cards. Nanopierce recently closed a $15 Million Equity financing.

Hier ein sehr schöner Bericht mit Fotos vom Open House:

die Seite wurde von Kent, seinem Vater, Kathy und Dr. Neuhaus zusammengebastelt.


@Benjamin1896 meiner Meinung nach ist der Quartalsbericht neutral. Nichts unerwartetes in positiver oder negativer Hinsicht. Die üblichen Hinweise was alles schiefgehen könnte etc...

Ich denke im Moment ist ein sehr guter Termin um einzusteigen. Allerdings bin ich voreingenommen ...
Es könnte zwar noch etwas abwärtsgehen, aber nach oben ist viel mehr Luft Genau kann Dir niemand sagen, wann der richtige Zeitpunkt ist.
Vielleicht solltest Du die Hälfte jetzt investieren und evtl noch nachkaufen falls der Aktienpreis sinkt.

Richtig steil aufwärts geht es glaub ich erst 2001 (Odyssee im Weltraum oder so ) aber ich kann mich irren (mach ich leider häufig... )

Wie kommen eigentlich die unterschiedlichen Kurse für Nanopierce zusammen. In Hamburg um 9:19 2,15 Euro, in Frankfurt um 9:19 2 Euro,
in Berlin um 9:16 1,8 (!) Euro.
Wie ergeben sich diese unterschiedlichen Kurse. Da könnte ich ja theoretisch billig in Berlin kaufen und dann mit satten Gewinn in Hamburg verkaufen.

Danke für eure Hilfe.

[jetsia dax]

@Benjamin1896, geregelt wird dies ganz einfach: Angebot und Nachfrage. Wenn jemand an einer Börse bereit ist seine Aktien für 10 cent weniger zu verkaufen (weil er sie zB unbedingt loswerden möchte) als an einer anderen Börse, kannst du sie dort auch günstiger erstehen. Theoretisch könntest du sie also für 1,80 bekommen, es ist aber wichtig auf das bid und ask zu achten hier sind die Unterschiede wieder viel geringer und dies zeigt dir, dass du die Aktien höchstwahrscheinlich nicht für 1,80 bekommen wirst.

Hier Kathy`s posting zum Quartalsbericht:

11/14/00 - NPCT - Nanopierce files FORM 10-QSB Period Ending 9/30/2000
Dear Investor to Investor readers:

Nanopierce Technologies, Inc. has filed their form 10-QSB for the period ending September 30, 2000. I have gone through it as best I can with my limited visual accuity and note the following items of importance.

Remember that the $15 million financing was announced on October 20, 2000 which was after the September 30, 2000 closing for the quarter. All statements in this 10Q reference that period. At that time the company had enough funding to last about a year without the buyout of Equinox’s outstanding unconverted shares.

The company had received some checks as down payment on the software contracts, but that was minimal to the entire contracts which stretch out over 6 months to 2 years depending on how much work is involved in the design of the software. I was told that the payments would be structured quarterly according to progress made on the design work involved. The amount of payments have not been revealed, although the original Lipag contract was slated to be somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million depending on how much work and time were involved. What we see in this statement is only the down payments on those contracts. Sure it is minimal revenues at this stage of reporting but it is the first real revenues for the company. If you add together the revenues received, deferred revenue and accounts receivable you get a figure of $92,126 which is much more respectable for the quarter.

New contracts to be signed will change that figure dramatically over time. I have been assured that all is on track for future revenues and there are talks underway which could result in a contract for NCS itself. Whether or not it will affect the current quarter we shall have to wait and see. I have every confidence that we will all be happily surprised when news on that front is finally released.

As far as I am concerned there are no surprises in this 10-QSB. It is pretty much as I expected it to be.

The following are points of importance in the 10-QSB according to my personal opinion:

Cash and cash equivalents - $ 1,887,018 (not including the $15 million funding)
Revenues - 14,942
Deferred revenue - 35,246
Accounts receivable - 41,938
Convertible debentures - 1,976,760 (now redeemed)
Net loss per share, basic and diluted - $( 0.02)
Net loss - $( 689,559)

Shareholders` equity (as of September 30, 2000):
Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value; 5,000,000 shares authorized:
Series A; no shares issued and outstanding
Series B; maximum of 75,000 shares issuable; no
shares issued and outstanding
Series C; maximum of 700,000 shares issuable; no
shares issued and outstanding
Common stock, $0.0001 par value; 100,000,000 shares
authorized; 36,226,081 shares issued and outstanding

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 35,816,632

As of November 3, 2000 there were 50,448,423 shares common stock outstanding (fully diluted).


1. Business, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

To address its current cash flow concerns, in October, 2000 the Company
entered into an agreement for a $15,000,000 equity financing as described
in Note 4. Currently, the Company does not have a revolving loan
agreement with any financial institution, nor can the Company provide any
assurance that it will be able to enter into any such agreement in the
future, or be able to raise funds through a further issuance of debt or
equity in the Company.

The Company believes that with the October 2000 financing, adequate
funding is available to support operations for the next twelve months.
The Company also believes that sales of its products and technology
license rights may provide sufficient funds to meet the Company`s capital
requirements.

Revenues from the sale of services, products or product licenses are
generally recorded at the time of delivery to the customer and when no
significant obligations remain related to implementation. Revenues are
deferred if significant future obligations are to be fulfilled or if
collection is not probable. (My Note: In this instance it is most probably deferred on significant obligations that need to be implemented.)

2. Common Stock, Stock Options and Warrants:

During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company issued
1,076,407 shares of common stock in exchange for $1,278,855 of convertible
debentures and $43,192 of accrued interest on the convertible debentures.
Under the debenture agreement, the debentures are convertible at the
lessor of $2.915 or 80% of the average of the three lowest daily closing
bid prices of the Company`s common stock during the 30 trading days
immediately preceding the date on which the holder elects to convert the
debentures. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the conversion
rate for those transactions was approximately $1.23 per share. The
Company also issued 36,000 shares of common stock to third parties in
exchange for services valued at $82,116 based on the quoted market price
of the Company`s common stock on the date the services were performed.

During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company granted
stock options to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices
of $1.625 to $2.375 per share to employees of the Company. The options
exercise prices were based upon the quoted market prices of the Company`s
common stock on the dates of grant. The stock options expire in the year
2010.

In September, 2000 the Company issued a stock option to purchase 50,000
shares of common stock at $3.00 per share for services received from third
party. The stock option expires on December 31, 2002. The option was
valued at $56,650 using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and that expense
was charged to general and administrative expense.

3. License Agreements (My Note: This pertains to Louis DiFrancesco and the licensees he brought to the company of which Nanopierce gets no royalties. It has nothing to do with new business taking place.):

The Company has license agreements with third parties, which allow the
third parties to utilize defined aspects of the intellectual property
rights in return for royalty fees. All but two license agreements are
idle. Royalties and maintenance payments from the two license agreements
have been held in an escrow account, outside of the Company`s control,
pending the resolution of certain legal issues. On November 30, 1999, the
Company obtained a Court Order of Declaratory Judgment that it has
incontestable and exclusive ownership of all patents, patent applications,
licenses, trade names, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual
properties relating to the PI Technology. As part of the Court Order, the
original inventor of the technology is to receive all accrued and future
royalty payments from the licenses which were outstanding as of September
3, 1996. The Company also granted to the original inventor of the
technology a two-year, royalty bearing, non-exclusive license to use the
PI Technology for certain specified applications. The Company has not
recorded any receivables or revenues associated with the accrued royalty
payments on licenses which were outstanding as of September 3, 1996. The
original inventor filed a Motion of Appeal on March 29, 2000 regarding the
Declaratory Judgment. The Company believes that the resolution of this
litigation will not have a material adverse impact on either results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.


5. Subsequent Event:

Financing Agreement:

In October 2000, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 equity financing
agreement with a third party. Under the agreement, the Company received
$7,500,000 cash, net of $490,000 in offering costs, in exchange for
4,531,613 shares of the Company`s common stock (approximately $1.66 per
share), a warrant ("the Initial Warrant") to purchase an additional
453,161 shares of the Company`s common stock, and a separate warrant to
purchase shares of the Company`s common stock ("the Vesting Warrant").
The $1.66 per share amount was based upon 80% of the average market price
of the Company`s common stock prior to the closing, as defined in the
agreement. The Initial Warrant is exercisable immediately through October
2005 at an exercise price of $2.586 per share. Under the Vesting Warrant,
on defined dates, the warrant shall vest with respect to a defined number
of shares that are exercisable at $0.001 per share immediately and through
October 2005. The defined dates are the 65th, 130th, and 195th trading
days following the closing of the $7,500,000 transaction. The defined
number of shares is equal to one-third of the initial shares (2,507,492)
multiplied by $7,500,000 and by an initial percentage (the initial
percentage is equal to 115%, 125% and 140% from the 65th, 130th, and 190th
days, respectively, from the initial closing date), less the reset price,
which is equal to the average market value of the Company`s common stock
at those dates. This amount is then divided by the reset price and equals
the number of shares issuable under the Vesting Warrant. At the Company`s
option, but no earlier than 195 days and no later than 225 days after the
first issuance, the Company can sell up to $7,500,000 of additional shares
of common stock (based on the then average market price, as defined), and
warrants, both Initial and Vesting Warrants, to purchase additional common
shares.

As a result of services rendered by another third party in connection with
the financing agreement, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price
of the existing warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock
from $.51 to $.25 per share. The warrants were exercised through a
cash-less exercise and 9,532,520 shares of common stock were issued in
October 2000.

Convertible Debentures:

In October 2000, $150,000 of convertible debentures and accrued interest
of approximately $5,000 were converted into 104,567 shares of the
Company`s common stock. The remaining $1,850,000 of convertible
debentures and accrued interest of $59,878 were redeemed, at a 25%
premium, for cash of $2,372,378. The Company also agreed to issue an
additional warrant for 50,000 shares of the Company`s common stock at an
exercise price of $2.17 per share.

Results of operations

The Company recognized revenues of $14,942 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000. The revenues were from work on various contracts to provide
consulting services and software development assistance to third parties by the
Company`s German subsidiary, Nanocard Technologies, GmbH ("Nanocard"). During
the three months ended September 30, 1999 the Company had no revenues.

General and administrative expenses increased to $640,331 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, from $254,889 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to the increases in
payroll expense, public relation expenses and auditing expenses due to the
increase in operations at both of the facilities in Colorado Springs and in
Germany and the hiring of additional employees to support operations.

Interest expense increased as a result of the convertible debentures issued
in January and March of 2000.

The Company incurred a net loss of $689,559 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to a net loss of $261,361 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to the
increase in activity described in general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and financial condition

The Company`s current operations are not generating positive cash flow. In
order to meet operating needs, the Company, in October 2000, entered into an
agreement for a $15,000,000 equity financing. The financing is divided into two
installments, which allows the Company, at its option, in approximately 200 days
to sell additional common shares and warrants to access an additional $7.5
million. In October 2000, the Company received $7,500,000 under the terms of
the financing and in return issued 4,531,613 of its common stock at $1.65 per
share to the investor. In addition the Company issued the investor a warrant to
purchase 453,161 shares of common stock of the Company at $2.58 per share.
Management believes that this funding, assuming the additional $7,500,000 is
taken, will be adequate to support operations for the next 24 months.

The Company, in the Spring of 1999, signed various agreements with
companies both overseas and in the States. The agreements are to apply the
Company`s NCS (Nanopierce Connection System) technology to various products,
mainly in the smart card/smart label industry. Management is pursuing the
development of further similar agreements both nationally and internationally
with companies not only in the smart card industry, but other industries, as
well. Further, the Company is working to advance the agreements already in
place.

..und was heisst das jetzt, zusammengefasst in zwei oder drei Sätze?

[benjamin1896]

Anscheind fanden die Amis den Quartalsbericht nicht so toll. Gestern minus 14,5 %. Oder gab es irgendwelche andere schlechten News bezüglich Nanopierce.

[jetsia dax]

Es gab keine schlechten Nachrichten. Wer sich nur am Quartalsbericht orientiert (der über den Zeitraum vor der Finanzierung berichtet), wird nicht sehr beeindruckt sein von Nanopierce: wenig Kapital, minimalste Einkünfte (die Vorauszahlungen für die Softwareentwicklung betrugen nur ca. 40 000 Dollar, der Gesamtwert soll sich aber auf eine halbe bis eine Millionen Dollar belaufen!), Patente über die noch gestritten wird ...

Durch die Finanzierung sind die 2 Millionen "convertibles" vom Markt, die einen Abwärtsdruck verursacht haben und NPCT hat ausreichend Kapital um mindestens zwei Jahre zu überleben, ohne dass Einkünfte kämen...

Auf dem RB Board berichteten mehrere Leute, dass sie zum "ask" kaufen wollten und zum "bid" also günstiger bedient worden sind, was immer das bedeutet. NPCT ist bei sehr geringem Volumen enorm abgesackt. Einige sind ungeduldig geworden (Verluste realisieren oder wenn sie länger als ein Jahr drin sind immerhin noch sehr satte Gewinne...), manche Investoren sehen nur den Quartalsbericht und nicht die Entwicklung (neue BODs, Finanzierung etc), wieder andere hat es gestern mit margin calls erwischt (zu viel auf Pump gekauft = Zwangsverkäufe wenn der Markt einbricht...)
Gestern wurde ein dreifacher Boden im Jahreschart erreicht (1,37 $)also sollte es jetzt wieder aufwärts gehen (aber wer weiss, wenn der gesamte Markt weiter runter geht )

Also, wie immer Geduld braucht der NPCT Anleger. Ich denke mit erfolgreichen Feldtests und den ersten Aufträgen gehts steil nach oben (Anfang 2001?)

Hat schon mal jemand den Brief an die Aktionäre von nanopierce auf nanopierce.com gelesen?

[MENTAGON]

Servus,

Hab gestern Pauls Brief mal durchgelesen und bin sehr beeindruckt was er von sich gibt.
Mit den deutschen Kooperationen scheint alles bestens zu verlaufen.Paul war mit Dr.Wernle auf einem"Finanztreff"(fand keine geeignete Übersetzung),
wo er sich wegen Investoren umgehört hat.
Paul selbst glaubt,dass die konstanten Verkäufe der letzten Monate von einem Großinvestor kommen und deshalb der Kurs nicht steigen konnte.
Alles in allem blickt er sehr optimistisch in die (nahe)
Zukunft...

Nanopierce Technologies, Inc. Hires Chemical Engineering Expert in Colorado Springs

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2001--Nanopierce Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:NPCT) today announced that Mr. Bin Zou, formerly with GE Lighting, Fluorescent Technology, Lighting Technology Division, joined the Company effective February 19, 2001.

Mr. Zou expects to receive his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Kansas in May 2001. From August 1994 until February 2000, he conducted extensive research at the University of Kansas while pursuing his doctoral studies. While at the University of Kansas, his research experience encompassed a very broad range of complex technical subjects, which will especially qualify him to make some unique contributions to the application and development of NCS in commercial products and services. Before joining the Company, he was employed by G.E. Lighting, where he functioned as Lead Development Engineer in the Lighting Technology Division. His experience at G.E. Lighting further enhanced his expertise in areas critical to the further development and application of NCS.

Mr. Zou received his Bachelor`s Degree in Chemical Engineering in July 1989 from Zhejiang University China -- Zhejiang Hangzhou. Mr. Zou, prior to attending the University of Kansas, was employed as a Research and Development Engineer at the National Multiphase Reaction Laboratory, Institute of Chemical Metallurgy, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

Mr. Zou has authored or co-authored numerous technical and scientific articles.

The addition of Mr. Zou to the core team of Nanopierce continues the recently announced expansion of personnel in the Hohenbrunn Germany facility (see press release February 16, 2001) to accelerate NCS application developments.

Dr. Herbert J. Neuhaus, executive vice president, technology and marketing, and director, said, "The key to a successful technology team is the people -- bright and ambitious people who enjoy challenges. Bin brings us one step closer to critical mass. His skills are an ideal match to our projects, not only because of his recent experience in the lighting industry but also his expertise in particle preparation and processing. We could not be more fortunate than to have recruited Bin Zou."

Mr. Zou said, "Nanopierce has great innovative technologies that overcome most limitations suffered by major traditional interconnection methods. Although it is still a fledging business, its potential is huge and unlimited. I am very pleased to be given the opportunity to add my expertise to this challenging endeavor."

Extensive biographical information on Mr. Zou is available on the Company`s website.

Nanopierce Technologies, Inc. of Denver, Colorado, USA, is traded on the Nasdaq stock market (OTCBB:NPCT) as well as on the Frankfurt and Hamburg (OTC:NPI). In addition to the 12 patents it owns, Nanopierce has numerous applications pending, others in preparation, and various other intellectual properties related to Nanopierce`s proprietary NCS (Nanopierce Connection System). This advanced system is designed to provide significant improvement over conventional electrical and mechanical interconnection methods for high-density circuit boards, components, sockets, connectors, semiconductor packaging and electronic systems.

Welcome to the Investor to Investor forum!
In regard to Louis DiFrancesco, I have posted all of the legal documents in the case that I have been able to lay my hands on at the beginning of this thread.

As to the court case and its standing at this time:

Nanopierce has filed its request for a hearing date but has not yet been given a date by the District Court in Denver. It is the same court where Louis lost twice before. If we get the same judge that enforced the settlement, he is already aware of Louis` penchant for damaging statements, and it is already in the court records that Louis used profanity in front of another judge in the same court. What we are waiting for right now is for the court to schedule the hearing at the court`s earliest convenience. Papers have been filed to expedite the hearing but the court calendar has to be rearranged to schedule the hearing. It can`t be forced. So we are at the mercy of the court`s calendar and the availability of time to squeeze in the remand trial.

Three Appeals Court judges signed the remand so it should get some fairly quick response from the District court, particularly since the Appeals Court judges have requested to be updated on a monthly basis. Arguments in the Appeals case have been cancelled until the remand trial is determined. If and/or when Louis loses the remand trial, the Appeals case will be thrown out of the Appeals Court and that will be Louis` last chance for a retrial. I personally doubt that Louis can win the remand as there is too much evidence to the contrary of his statements on Raging Bull and his posts on Raging Bull are being considered in the remand trial.

There is detailed information on all of the goings on with Nanopierce in the newsletter files at:

Hi cybertrade,
so wie ich es verstanden habe, wird der Termin für das Hearing am 2. März festgelegt. Das Hearing könnte dann ein paar Wochen (?) später stattfinden. Wenn Louis hier schon verliert, ist es mit seiner Berufung vorbei. Ansonsten kommt es zu der Berufungsverhandlung.

Gibt es schlechte Meldungen oder warum werden die verkauft?

Mann vermutet ,das ein Geldgeber Aktien auf den Markt wirft,damit der Kurs unter einen bestimmten Wert sinkt.Dann würde er nämlich zusätzlich Aktien bekommen...(Gerücht !)
Wenn das stimmt,dann müßte es ab Mai aufwärts gehen...

Hoffen wir mal !

PS.Sind doch gute Einstiegskurs ,oder nicht ?

@jetsia dax
Hallo erstmal und vielen Dank für die Arbeit die Du hier mit dem Thread zu NPCT leistest. Die Technologie von NPCT erscheint sehr interessant, aber der Erfolg hängt halt doch vom Abshcluß entsprechender Verträge, bzw. dem Ausgang der Patentstreitigkeiten ab. Was mir bei NPCT allerdings nicht ganz klar ist, warum sind die Insiderverkäufe so hoch ? Hast du eine Erklärung ?

[jetsia dax]

Hi GelbeSeiten,

Der einzig grössere 144 Verkauf kam von Zenith Petroleum (500 000), die nicht direkt mit der Firma zu tun haben sondern zu Zeiten, als es NPCT noch billiger gab, große Aktienpakete zu Billigpreisen mit 144 Beschränkung erworben haben. Dass die irgendwann einmal verkaufen, finde ich nicht so dramatisch. Wenn "wirkliche Insider" d.h. Angestellte der Frima verkaufen würden fänd ich das allerdings schlimmer...
Viel grössere Auswirkungen auf den Aktienkurs hatten ja die Verkäufe des Finanziers Harvest Court. Die Fiananzierungsverträge sehen nämlich vor, dass bei diesen Tiefstständen Harvest Court noch einmal ein hübsches 2 Millionen Aktien Paket praktisch umsonst nachgelegt bekommen hat, damit sie "keine Verluste" machen (dies war also im Prinzip auch noch ein Anreiz für sie, den Preis durch Verkäufe zu drücken ... TOLLE Finanzierung für den Kleinanleger... Na, ja, wenn dadurch der Laden so lange über Wasser bleibt bis die Einkünfte endlich reinkommen soll`s unser Schaden nicht sein). Hoffen wir das NPCT solch eine Finanzierung nicht mehr nötig hat!

Hold NPCT and prosper

[noemi25]

Hallo Jetsia,

was hat es eigentlich mit diesen 144 Verkäufen bzw. Beschränkungen auf sich? Wer muß wann was bekanntgeben? Die meisten Verkäufer sind ja, wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, nur Anleger und keine richtigen Insider.

Noemi

[jetsia dax]

Hi noemi25,

Es handelt sich hier um AKtien, die bei ihrer Ausgabe nicht in den freien Markt kamen sondern direkt an Investoren/Dienstleister/Angestellte ausgegeben werden. Bei einer anderen Firma in der ich investiert bin gab es zB vor Jahren Private Placements d.h. individuelle Investoren können zu einem unter dem Marktpreis liegenden Preis Aktien der Firma kaufen, diese dann aber zB ein Jahr lang nicht und danach für ein weiteres Jahr nur nach Anmeldung ausgeben. Das Geld aus diesen Käufen ging dann direkt an die Firma. Das ganze fand also anstelle einer institutionellen Finanzierung statt. Wann und wie Petroleum Zenith genau Aktien bekommen hat weiss ich nicht. WillyWizard ZB hat dafür, dass er Werbung für NPCT gemacht hat auch einmal 144 Aktien bekommen. Dienstleistungen können also auch mit Aktien "bezahlt" werden. Ich weiss nicht, ob Dir das hilft, alle Einzelheiten dazu kenne ich auch nicht.

Hold NPCT and prosper

Danke Jetsia,

das war genau die Info, die ich haben wollte. Jetzt ist mir einiges klarer.

Hi Jetsia Dax

Vielen Dank für dein prompte Antwort. Ich bin schon seit letztem Jahr sehr an NPCT interessiert und war auch investiert, bis ich leider ausgestoppt wurde. Hattest du schon mal Kontakt zu elcos.ag, die ich als wesentliche Referenz für NPCT in Europa verstehe ?

P.s.: Übrigens nochmal Kompliment für deinen Thread. Viel Erfolg für alle Nanopiercler oder Hold NPCT and prosper wie Du immer schreibst

[ParkerD]

Hallo,

hatte jemand von Euch in letzter Zeit Kontakt zum Münchner Büro von NP ?
Ich warte schon 4 Wochen auf die Beantwortung meiner technischen Frage.(Bin evt.Anwender von NCS).Auch mehrmalige Mails an Dr.Wernle und Büromitarbeiter führte bis jetzt zu nichts.Habt Ihr auch eine Mail bekommen zwecks Angabe von Anschrift,Name usw.(Aktionärsdatenbank aufbauen)?
Diese Stille und der gleichzeitige rapide Kursverfall zerrt an den Nerven.Wie gehts Euch ??

Gruss P.

[jetsia dax]

@Gelbe Seiten: zu Elcos hatte ich noch keinen Kontakt
@ParkerD: Die Nichtbeantwortung einer Mail kann ich mir nicht erklären. Eine mail zum Aufbauen einer Aktionärsdatenbank habe ich auch nicht bekommen.
Der Aktienkurs zehrt wirklich an den Nerven...


Hold NPCT and prosper

Jetsia

[bogo01]

Das mit der Aktionärsdatenbank kann ich bestätigen! Hoffentlich gibts bald mal wieder bessere Kurse!

Gruß Bogo!

[Stefan100]

Hab auch ne eMail für Aktionärsdatenbank bekommen, Anschrift, Telenummer, etc.
Vielleicht wollen sie ja doch ein bischen Shareholder Value betreiben ;-)
Dem Kurs kanns kaum schaden...
@ParkerD: Probiers mal mit Anrufen, Nr. ist auf HP. Da erreichste doch bestimmt mal jemanden...!

Was passiert da mit Nanopierce, sind die Pleite?

[ParkerD]

Hallo Nanopiercler,

gestern hatte ich ein längeres Gespräch mit Herrn Dr.Wernle das sehr aufschlussreich für mich war.Zur Zeit ist für uns Aktionäre jede Aussicht auf eine bessere Zukunft wichtig.
Den Inhalt möchte ich hier stichwortartig wiedergeben:

1. Nanopierce ist keineswegs pleite.

2. Das Potential das in der NCS-Technologie steckt wird vom grossteil der Investoren und potentiellen Anwendern verkannt.Das Produkt ist sehr erklärungsbedürftig.

3. Vom Markt kommen sehr positive Rückmeldungen über NCS, jeder könnte so ein System brauchen, oder anders formuliert - keiner hat bisher gesagt es ist nicht gebrauchen zu können.Es kommen sehr viele Anfragen die mit Mühe zu bewältigen sind.

4. Das Labor von NPCT in Colorado Springs ist in unmittelbarer Nähe der grossen Halbleiterhersteller wie z.b. Atmel und Agilent.Also schaden kann das nicht!

5. Das Waferpierce-Verfahren wird derzeit vorangetrieben - um gleichmäßige Ergebnisse zu erhalten wurde ein neuer Automat in Betrieb genommen.Allerdings wird hier keine schnelle Umstellung der bisherigen Prozesse(beim Chiphersteller) stattfinden, da bei Verwendung von Waferpierce einiges am Wafer (Siliziumscheibe mit aufgebrachten Schaltstrukturen) zu ändern wäre.Das kann nur schrittweise gehen.

6. Demnächst ist wieder ein "Open House" in Colorado Springs geplant,allerdings nicht für Investoren wie das erste mal,sondern dieses mal für potentielle Anwender.Und zwar nutzt man terminlich die stattfindende IMAPS-Konferenz in Denver.
Fachleute dürften da genug anwesend sein.

7. Evt.stellt Nanopierce dieses Jahr noch auf der Semicon (Int.Messe der Semiconductorindustrie) in München aus.Sollte dies tatsächlich stattfinden dann werde ich’s mir mal ansehen,vielleicht hat noch jemand Interesse daran,könnte vielleicht verbilligte oder Freikarten besorgen da ich bei einem großen Halbleiterhersteller arbeite. Allgemein wird man bei Nanopierce eher wenig Messetätigkeit finden, da der potentielle Anwender direkt besucht wird.

8. Es wird keine Aktionen geben den niedrigen Kurs durch Aktienrückkauf anzuschieben.Allerdings will man Harvest Court herauskaufen.Ich glaube keiner ist mehr über den derzeitigen Kurs mehr verärgert als der Vorstand selbst.Dieser Kurs spiegelt in keiner Weise die aktuelle Lage der Firma wieder.

9. Ab sofort will man sich auf auf wenige aber profitable Großkunden fokkusieren und daraus Verträge generieren um möglichst schnell Ergebnisse vorzeigen zu können.Denn die Geduld der Aktionäre ist endlich.Ergebnisse sollen in den nächsten 3 Monaten einstellen. Hoffentlich!!

10. Demnächst wird eine PR-Aktion (weltweit) gestartet um NCS bei Halbleiterherstellern bekannt zu machen.Das lässt hoffen.

11. Am 2.April 01 wird Nanopierce auf www.nanotechinvesting.com als „Aktie im Spotlight“ vorgestellt.Mal reinschauen !

12. Zu guter Letzt: Herr Dr.Wernle ist ein sehr netter Mensch, der einem in seiner gemütlichen österreichischen Art bereitwillig und ohne Distanz Auskunft gibt.

Gruss ParkerD

[jetsia dax]

Vielen Dank ParkerD,

sehr interessant! nach allem, was ich von Dr. Wernle so gelesen habe, scheint er ein sehr fähiger, aufrichtiger und sympathischer Mann zu sein - gut, dass er bei NPCT ist.

Auf Kathy`s Seite gibt`s wieder neue Info`s von Paul:

Hallo Leute!

Ich denke, daß ich nächste woche einmal 1.500 DM investieren werde in meine Trend-Depot

In dieses Depot stecke ich aus 5 Zukunftsbranchen je 2 werte mit je 1.500,- und warte einfach male eine lange zeit ab, ob auch nur annähernd eine Microsoft dabei ist- wenn nicht, Pech gehabt.

Nanophase habe ich schon.

Gruß SR

[Babyelch]

@superreich
Hurra ich habe jemanden mit der selben Anlagestrategie gefunden. Einziger Unterschied: Ich habe nur 2 Branchen, dafür aus jeder Branche 3-5 Firmen. Apropos Nanophase, hab ich natürlich auch schon, deshalb solltest du dir mal Altair ansehen. Bei NPCT bin ich auch am grübeln, nachdem der Kurs unter 0,5 Euro gefallen ist.

[Aktienratgeber]

Montag sind Kaufkurse, aber vielleicht wirds Dienstag noch etwas billiger und man kann bei 0,38 - 0,39 € einsteigen?
Wer weiß, den absoluten Tiefstkurs erreicht man fast sowieso nie.
Allerdings glaube ich, daß Nanopierce sich ab Mittwoch deutlich erholen wird, denn auch die Shorts in USA müssen sich langsam eindecken. Außerdem hat Louis seinen Prozeß gegen Nanopierce so gut wie verloren und auch HartCourt (HC) müßte fast alle Aktienpakete verkauft haben.
Es wird wieder aufwärtsgehen mit Nanopierce und den Kurs der Aktien :-)

[Nickeloden]

Aktienratgeber

Wiso gerade am Mittwoch ?
Steht irgendetwas an ?

Ich erwarte allerdings auch eine Erholung in der nächsten Zeit.
Die Zahl der gehandelten Aktien z.B.Frankfurt steigt langsam.

[Aktienratgeber]

@Nickeloden
Warum ab Mittwoch? Kann ich dir auch nicht rational erklären, aber irgendwie hab ich diesmal so ein Gefühl im Bauch, daß die Shorties in USA in 1-2 Tagen raus sind.
Das die gehandelten Aktien pro Tag ansteigen, ist mir auch aufgefallen.

Hallo Nanos

Soll man bei Nanopierce einsteigen?
Hier wird eigentlich ziemlich positiv berichtet!!
Die Zukunft ist Nano vieleicht die neue Hype!
Der Kurs scheint ja ausgebomt zu sein!

Dear Nanopierce Shareholders:

As I have previously said, this is a year of consolidation and expansion for the Company. The intense effort and achievements accomplished in the year 2000 are now being focused to transform the Company into an operating entity. Revenue generation is our immediate goal. The Company is stronger than ever.


We have in excess of Five Million in cash to achieve our operational goals and, the objectives of our Strategic Business Plan for the next two years. We have no long term debt, minimal payables and shareholders equity of approximately Seven Million Dollars. We continue to expand our Intellectual Property Portfolio to protect the increasing volume of new inventions developed by our very creative employees.


As most of you are aware we have significantly expanded the personnel resources of the Company. I thought it would be of interest to you to have some realization of the responsibilities and contributions of our employees thereby giving you a better understanding of the nature of the Company’s business. In short, I want to put a face on the Company.


In Colorado Springs, under the direction of Dr. Herbert J. Neuhaus, we have added additional new employees. Mr. Bin Zou, whom we recently hired, will be working closely with Dr. Neuhaus and others in the Colorado Springs Facility for the development of new applications for NCS, particularly at the wafer level and for LED arrays. Mr. Fred Blum, focuses his keen talents toward further refinement of NCS, on specific applications relating to smart labels, smart tags and other product lines utilizing flexible substrates. Mr. Richard Cunningham who was largely responsible for the design and construction of the Prototype System for deposition of NCS on flex in the Colorado Springs Facility, has recently been appointed as Manager of Operations because of his outstanding performance. He is charged with the task of developing a plan to create an operating division independent of the research and development activities in the Colorado Springs Facility. Mr. Robert Bahn largely devotes his time, attention and efforts to develop processes applying NCS at the wafer level. His efforts to date have been so successful that we are preparing another provisional patent application to protect what we conceive to be a remarkable new invention in the application of NCS to wafer level fabrication. Mr. Roy Montegelano just recently joined the Company as a Technician to support the activities of Richard Cunningham and Fred Blum. Ms. Karen Millikin is their Receptionist and Administrative Assistant, handling the daily running of the office, taking care of the paperwork and other administrative duties.


In the Munich Facility, Nanopierce Card Technologies, GmbH, we have an equally competent and highly motivated team under the direction of Dr. Michael E. Wernle. The Company’s software development efforts and activities are largely conducted, and to date have been accomplished by Mr. Karl-Heinz Kuehn and Mr. Richard Berger. These outstanding employees anticipate that their activity level will expand significantly this year due to the increasing requests received by the Company to prepare and develop software for customers outside of the Company’s own activities. Mr. Bernhard Maier works closely with Dr. Michael E. Wernle in the sales and marketing of NCS. Bernhard brings unique talents to this effort because of his prior experience in sales and marketing. Mr. Michael Kober who frequently travels to the United States to work with the personnel in the Colorado Springs facility, devotes most of his time to the testing and verification of the application of NCS in the various products developed and to be developed by the Company. In addition he is a prolific originator of patentable ideas and works very closely with Mr. Fred Blum and Dr. Neuhaus. We previously announced in February that Mr. Stefan Mieslinger joined the Company. He has since been testing the application of NCS in the production of LED Arrays. Mr. Werner Steinberg hired to join the laboratory team in April, will have the responsibility of maintaining the highly sensitive laboratory equipment, as well as spearheading the development of NCS for use with Smartcards. Ms. Kathrin Demel who was recently hired as an Administrative Assistant to Dr. Michael Wernle, will be providing vital administrative work to the entire technical and marketing staff.


In the Corporate Headquarters in Denver, as you know, we have Ms. Kristi J. Kampmann the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Kristi is responsible for many important activities of the Company relating to the management of our financial resources, financial reporting and similar critical functions. Ms. Sarah Ord is my Administrative Assistant and responsible for coordinating the activities of all of the offices to assure the smooth functioning of a very busy small company.


The activities of all of these personnel are highly focused in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort and to promote efficient production of results. This focus is provided by Dr. Herbert J. Neuhaus and Dr. Michael E. Wernle in order to accelerate the development of products and services utilizing NCS to a commercial status at the earliest possible opportunity. We remain intently focused upon the application of NCS to our big three markets: Smart Cards/Smart Labels, LEDs, and Waferpierce. Substantial progress has been achieved in these three areas.


The Company recently hired a Sales Representative to work with Dr. Michael E. Wernle in the development of a Sales and Marketing Plan. By mutual agreement the Company and the individual have agreed that they will work together for a three month period on a qualification basis to see whether or not both parties believe that they can effectively work together. I have known this individual for over twenty years, and he brings a formidable level of marketing skills and expertise to the Company. I am convinced that the parties will find the working relationship to be not only mutually satisfactory but also enormously challenging and ambitiously implemented. A press release about this individual and his qualifications will be forthcoming.


Dr. Robert Shaw, a member of the Board of Directors, is also working very closely with Dr. Herbert J. Neuhaus in conducting extremely sophisticated testing and other technical analysis of the properties and performance parameters of NCS in various applications. Dr. Shaw is conducting these activities from a laboratory, in his residence, which he has fully equipped with the latest state of the art equipment. In addition, Albert Capote continues to contribute his considerable business experience and technical expertise in providing critical advice to the Company, particularly to the team in Colorado Springs.


Shareholders ought to realize that as small as our company is, we do have an incredible depth of technical competency in our core teams. While each and every employee has designated tasks and areas of responsibility, like any small company, they do whatever they have to do to assure the success of the Company. They not only do what they have to do, they do it with a highly motivated attitude, contagious enthusiasm and inspiring creativity. I am honored to lead so many dedicated and competent employees.


I continue to search for new financing, particularly from industry related partners. To the degree that I am successful in doing so, we obviously can escape the need to rely on the type of financing that we have needed to resort to in the past. While we have substantially improved the Company with each and every financing, as you know, in bad market conditions, these types of financing can have an unfavorable dilutive impact and exert a depressant effect on the price of the Company’s stock. We are conducting numerous discussions with many other financial sources that we believe will provide more favorable financing to the Company with less adverse features.


All of us at Nanopierce Technologies, Inc., thank you for your dedication, support, loyalty and good will. We are doing everything in our power to continue to earn your confidence and we will not be distracted, no matter what happens, from building the Company into a big company in the electronics industry. To the extent that we succeed in doing so, your stock ownership will appreciate in value. In my opinion, your ownership will become a very lucrative investment for those of you who take a long term perspective, and have the patience and understanding to give us a chance to accomplish the lofty goals to which we aspire.

Sincerely,

NanoPierce Technologies, Inc.
