Rim Semiconductor Company (fka RSMI)

[WHP03]

I was private IM'd by another investor who has been in contact with the Portland Business Journal writer, who has aleady written a pair of articles on NVI. I am told that there are multiple articles in the can and more on the way. Sounds like we might see one or two articles on NVI yet this week. I can't imagine whatever is printed next is going to be flattering to NVI and their management team. As a major investor and holder of way-too-many shares I am braced for the worst, and hoping for the best.

Again, NVI cannot afford to clam up now (remain clammed up I should say). It's time to fight and be on the offense, proactively sharing with shareholders. I'm not asking to risk anything with the technology, assuming there is something to risk. I am advocating a strong and proactive campaign to remove the very dark cloud of doubt that hands over NVI as a company and investment as a result of lack of information and numerous missed milestones.

I doubt image consultants would advice NVI to just sit and "take the heat" in their position. I also doubt that they are in a position to claim to take the "high road" by not responding or making a preemptive strike with information that could distract shareholders in a positive way from rehashing the past in the local paper.

Something tells me all of this will fall on deaf ears and the pending articles from the Portland paper will not be positive for NVI.
