GTATQ "Q" means filed for BK right?
GET THE FACTS! This is going to Zero......sure did not hit $1.20 right? lol
I think you’re right on with that assessment. It fits with AAPL’s claim that they want to continue working with GT, while putting its legal problems to bed.
Did they report earnings today?
That does sound like a win for everyone all around. Would definitely bring lots of holiday cheers.
I am anxious to hear what the compromise entails! ;}~
Agree its more complex than who was there to directing.
The sensible solution for Apple would be a renegotiated contract,complete with continued financing that would enable GT to drop the Chap 11,give it more time to work out any production and quality issues.keep the factory open and the workers employed and keep Apples' secrets ,secret,plus give them the leading edge technology that they wanted,and I believe, still want.Win - Win for everybody. JMHO,of course!!
GTATQ $$$$ There are no sources to confirm that information...and the issue is more complex.
GTAdvanced was there on the ground floor installation of the existing facilities left over from first solar. Apple's presence was near zero there. GTAdvance is who the third party contractors dealt with issues and guidance. Apple only dealt with GT, not third party contractors.
GTATQ IS "GOLDEN" THIS ISNT TYPICAL STINKY PINKY SHAMTEK
As you like to say...GET THE FACTS.
You used to be a decent poster.... Now you've become just another moronic drivvler posting drivvle.
Have you spoken to the judge? Didn't think so...
The Judge has already said that Apple kept changing specifications. Other than that, we have no further details... which is why so many people are anxious to see the unveiling of the secret documents, well except for...hmmm... Apple. ;}~
It seems likely that Apple is still interested in working out the production 'bugs' with GT.It just took a little prodding to get them to re-evaluate their relationship.IMO,we should see a new and better deal soon.With the unwelcome exposure of info that Apple wants to keep secret and all the time,money and effort that Apple has invested in this technology,plus it's relationship with Arizona,etc., it's hard to believe that they would just be willing to walk away from all of this.
GTATQ $$$$
Quote:
Apple selected the Mesa Facility and negotiated all power and construction contracts to design and build out the facility with third parties. GTAT had no direct communications with the Apple subcontractors that were building out the Mesa Facility.
The first phase of the Mesa Facility was not operational until December 2013—which was only 6 months before GTAT was expected to be operating at full capacity in order to meet its “Minimum Supply Commitments” (as defined in the SOW). The parties had originally anticipated that a facility for the sapphire growth and fabrication project would be ready much earlier in 2013.
Additional unplanned delays continued to surface, because the Mesa Facility required a significant amount of reconstruction, including reconstruction of floors roughly the size of multiple football fields. The build-out of the Mesa Facility, delays in available power, and power interruptions, further delayed the ramp-up of sapphire growth and fabrication by approximately three months.
After much discussion, it was determined that implementing power back-up for the furnaces was too expensive and, therefore, non-essential.
That decision was not made by GTAT. On at least three occasions power interruptions occurred.

GTAT oversaw the construction and was operational on time in phases.I think you are correct

I suspect the contract was written in terms that were impossible to fulfill
may I include that I feel the contract was probably a great deal to begin with similar to the same demand as Gorilla glass. I think terms evolved shortly after the completion of the first phase construction where they were already turning glass in March and GTAT recognized the issues with a low yield due to size of the glass.I think Apples stringent specs for their flexible iphone6 bezel was a killer for an extremely hard scratch resistant sapphire glass screen. Size of the sapphire glass was the killer.
But this all my opinion. Thnx
I believe the resolution will be favorable for all parties. That will get those that have been laid off able to return to work, the Q tattoo off of us and restore PPS. Which at the end of the is most important. GTATQ LONG!!
GTATQ $$$$ I agree with you...but the more I read about the AAPL and GTATQ issue, the more I think the outcome will favor GTAT...and since this has had a huge impact on so many people/investors, I like to believe that justice will be done
I sense a cautious, dare i say optimism here!
That's smart imo! The results obviously could lean either way here,
I'm hopeful that all goes well, however toning it down a bit as we await the outcome, is always smart trading!
Jmo.

GTATQ $$$$ I suspect the contract was written in terms that were impossible to fulfill and/or after the contract was agreed to AAPL was negligent in providing adequate technology risk management, and/or AAPL failed to have the facility operational by the anticipated time frame, and/or AAPL failed to provide accurate fabrication cost projections, and/or AAPL failed to provide the agreed funding in order for GTAT to complete the project....and we know there are likely to be more questionable AAPL requirements in the highly sealed documents.
Doesn't matter if GTAT agreed to it...if AAPL made it impossible for GTAT to fulfill the contract...the contract is voided.
I think we should be asking ourselves the benefits of BK 11 or not for GTAT.
