Photronics Inc. (PLAB) is a manufacturer of photomasks, which are high precision photographic quartz plates containing microscopic images of electronic circuits. Photomasks are a key element in the manufacture of semiconductors and flat panel displays (FPD), and are used as masters to transfer circuit patterns onto semiconductor wafers and flat panel substrates during the fabrication of integrated circuits and a range of FPDs and, to a lesser extent, other types of electrical and optical components.

In the report, the analyst notes:

"At NanoFab, PLAB's newest and most advanced facility, sales again improved sequentially as the Company continued to ramp production. Qualification in a first production order was achieved with an additional Taiwanese DRAM manufacturer. Three previously qualified customers progressed to volume manufacturing, and five of PLAB's top 20 customers are now sourcing photomasks from NanoFab.

"In September 2009, the Company and Intel Corp. entered into an agreement to work together to share technical and operations information regarding the development status of the Company's products, the capabilities of the Company's mask manufacturing lines, and the alignment of the Company and Intel's mask making toolsets. The agreement also addresses potential for a future relationship relating to business continuity planning for Intel and its affiliates. The agreement has a 10-year term. In consideration for this agreement, the Company issued to Intel Capital Corp. the warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares of its common stock."
