Can you please comment on the progress of the joint ventures with ABB and Grainger & Worrall?

According to the Comments of Phil Lake in the Cast Metal Times interview, the production of the CGI Lion engine will begin during "early 2003". Can SinterCast clarify the timing?

Can CGI be considered for future in-line engines that are smaller than 1.5 litres?

Recent information has indicated that some patents will expire during 2003. Is this true? If so, what impact will this have on SinterCast.
