We are also making steady progress at our new Eisenhuttenstadt plant in Germany, the construction of which is now almost completed. Althoughwe have experienced some minor delays in the delivery of the building, we continue to expect the plant to be operational by the end of July 2008 inaccordance with our contractual obligations towards our customers." Mr. L'Ecuyer concluded, "Aside from providing us with means for fundingthe construction of our German facility, our recent IPO has significantlyraised our profile and exposure, creating a number of new potential growthopportunities that we hope to take advantage of in the future. Our IPO hasalso enabled us to increase and promote, through direct stock purchases andour stock option plan, employee ownership, an important component of ourcorporate strategy."
