providing us with additional working capital to complete the transfer of all
manufacturing operations to Bangkok. Once this integration has been achieved,
the Group will benefit from greatly reduced labour costs and overheads, which
in turn are expected to deliver significant enhancements in profitability and
hence value to our shareholders.'
