We believe that XTouch is a leading-edge technology that will enable Tier 1 OEMs to produce devices with the attributes that individual and industrial consumers desire. We are now engaged in a growing number of evaluations with potential customers to qualify our products."
Mr. Hawthorne continued, "While we are in the early stages of actively marketing our products, we operate in large and growing markets that independent analysts currently estimate to be approximately $6 billion annually, and growing to approximately $9 billion by 2018.
