Growth in Asia is strategically very important to us. From a strategic point of view Hong Kong is what we were after.

Our Board is confident that 2006 should see another year of strong growth.

Growth going forward is becoming the big issue for stock investors. Things are still OK on the earnings front, but some companies are beginning to be more conservative with their guidance.

In both countries, we're on track to be up and running around the middle of 2006.

You need to run and find shelter whether it's a car or a building or something like that, because if you jump in a car, sure some of the bees are gonna come with you, but you can deal with the ones that make it in there.

We would certainly have financial flexibility to do another deal if that came up.
