Hi D5,
Yes, Amended Exhibit B (posted in the IBox) says next payment to Rice is March 31, 2010. Evidently they changed the due dates when they signed the amended Exhibit B. No worries.

Ponyexpress, about Nanosolar - they will have 450 MW and a 650 MW solar panel factories IF they produce panels 24/7 at their fastest speed. That's a gigawatt a year.
Also, see post #557 about other differences between the two.
Solterra says they will be in production in Q1 2010 (july-sept?)and will be capable of 1 Gigawatt with one production line running 1 shift, not 3. The 1 Gigawatt is running at the slowest speed.
Nanosolar has $500 million from private investors since 2002- big names - and more from the US govt. in grants. Solterra has had a few million from private investors so far since Nov 2007.
Will Nanosolar be able to produce a solar panel cheaper than Solterra? Personal opinion - I doubt it. They claim a speed of one panel every 10 seconds, but I see they have to cut the panels, match the cells and laminate the individual cells onto a substrate. And they attach 2 tempered glass panels onto it. How can that be quicker or less expensive than Solterra's process.
There is a vast supply of the chemicals that Solterra needs, but not of the chemicals Nanosolar will need down the road, and which will be subject to commodity price increases due to scarcity and market supply and demand factors.
You can invest in Solterra now thru Hague Corp. You can't invest in Nanosolar. When the IPO for Nanosolar comes, stock price will be $20 at least. If you invest in Hague at .13 cents there is a greater potential for your investment because it is at an earlier stage. Plus, there will be stock split because Hague is going to sell the Quantum Dots and Solterra will sell the panels.
(Any stock has its risks. This is all the author's opinion to a hypothetical question.)
Hague has gone up from 8 cents to 12-13 cents since August. Thats more than 50 percent. During that time there has been no PR, just the 10k and the 10q. Hague has been undergoing accumulation where investors buy and hold, so the stock edges up. The trend is up, it has a long term uptrend since March or so, low float, disruptive technology, stock split potential, income potential next year from quantum dot sales, and after that from Solar Panel sales, connections to a major potential client in Saudi Arabia and exclusive licenses for all its processes.
Can this be the last mention of Nanosolar on this board, please?
