a) with respect to SSI business plans and inventory control, E&Y and members of our team spent a significant amount of time outlining the inventory system operating in SSI both as raw material and finished goods. At all times we have been monitoring the physical systems to ensure their efficiency of use is directed to maintaining business opportunity and maximizing profitability.
Currently, formulation and management of business plans are continuing matter, made all the more difficult by the current political situation in Thailand, its projections for resolution and its clear and direct impact on business confidence and performance in our domestic market.
