Survival today means innovating and doing things that no one else does. This is a lesson not only for Sharp but for all of Japan.

The old way of doing things was just spreading us too thin.

We want to start outsourcing within this fiscal year.

Right now we are not able to supply enough product to meet demand. We are set on achieving a production structure that will not take a back seat to plasma in terms of cost.

We need to show we can meet demand. Our credibility is being questioned.

It's a fight for survival today for the smaller community banks. We think we match up well (to our competitors), and this was an opportunity to refocus on what we do best.
