2009 Prospects.....

We have formed cautious budgets by bearing in mind that 2009 would see a decrease in the economics. We will keep our operations running by lowering our production and sales, by giving up the investments and most importantly, by not using foreign funds.

With the realization of the budgeted program, it is quite possible complete 2009 with a better success then the previous year. To achieve this aim, the sole thing partly out of our control is the collection of our receivables in due time.

In order to resist the crisis during this year and to reach our aims we have to be cautious. Thus, we need to act thrifty more than ever in all areas.

We can turn the crisis into an opportunity by choosing thriftiness instead of consuming as a lifestyle, by consuming only as necessary and by working more productively.
