Ann: Response to Media Reports, page-18

Events so far,bear you out,Patong1.But with a more active and determined retail shareholder group on the register now,it's up to us to make sure they earn their way.Or we boot them. To do that though, we need to find,either among ourselves or somewhere out there in the industry, people willing to be elected to the Board, able and prepared to work for the company owners. And I suggest that process be started. This would be a task
best suited to the Westies or people elsewhere, with connections in the West.
