Hi All,

    I wanted to give you an update on the situation with the granulation
    spheres. Negotiations are still underway. The large and reputable
    metals supply company (I must leave nameless at this point) has been
    attempting discussions for purchasing mass amounts of spheres from
    SPM at a quantity discount. SPM knows they have the monopoly and is
    not sufficiently lowering their set up and production fee enough to
    make it viable. 

    Part of the issue for the metal supply company is that there is
    sufficient interest to make it worth while for them to purchase 40
    ounces of spheres. That's a lot of money to tie up in inventory. I
    think there is sufficient interest. 

    There might be another source in which to contact. I'm staying with
    this but wanted to keep you in the loop. 

    Keep those cards and letters coming in folks. Your emails to me
    sparked the interest to begin with.
