PK,

I want to thank you for your insight. Do you think we are going to see any press in the near future?

EB Reader,

As you may know, Tom Aisenbrey is in Jasper at this time. Bill Robinson (BR) is in NY finishing up on some business, and will soon be meeting Tom and others at JARCO possibly toward the end of the week.

In regards to press in the near future, the general thought is that usually, BR does not like to have press releases flow until he is in his comfort zone, back near his home base.

That said anything is possible when Jasper Rubber is involved.

Rumor has it that there are a couple of customers present who are interested in using ElectriPlast material purchased by JARCO. I don't know who exactly brought them to the table (former Jasper Rubber clients, or clients Integral developed lo these many years).

If it is an old Integral client, then a press release is destined to happen. If it is a JARCO client, then that company controls the flow of information to the media because their first responsibility is to their client, and if that means giving that entity a marketing edge, by protecting the client’s product, or material source—then that is what they may do. Sounds stupid, but it’s about legal matters more than common sense.

Speaking of BR's travels – rumor has it that in November, he'll be heading back to China. IR gave general information on his travels last time he was there. This time around, his itinerary, and agenda is unknown.

That doesn't answer your news question. On that front, sorry, in taking a front door approach to gathering information, everyone has gotten tight lipped. I’ve got to do some more digging around the edges, which means by the time I track down a reliable line of insight, the press release will have already been on the streets.

Still, my interest is piqued on this one also...

Cheers, and anytime as far as added value insight goes,

PK sends...
