1	We expected that the U.S. governmentís initial estimate for first quarter 2001, GDP growth would be around 2%.

2	Our organization has confidence in the economic statistics provided by the government, especially that of recent years.

3	The receipt of economic information such as GDP growth rate, productivity growth rate, CPI, etc. over a shorter time span from the end of the relevant period is unnecessary.

4	The inability to as yet confirm whether the high rate of productivity growth over the previous five years was trend or cyclical does not harm our company's ability to make long term plans.

5	Our company has no difficulty supplying the data requested by the U.S. government statistical agencies.

6	We are quite satisfied with the economic forecast we received in the last quarter 2000 for the year 2001. The forecast has proven to be quite accurate.

7	We have confidence in the economic fundamentals of the US. Therefore, notwithstanding the recent slowdown , we believe there will be a resumption of the previous New Economy level growth rates.

8	As we continue to deregulate our various industries and allow the markets to play a greater role in the U.S. economy, there will be less need for economic forecasts and other outputs based on realistic economic models.

9	We think that the current global economic model works just fine and we shall continue to enjoy strong growth ahead.

10	Our corporation is reasonably confident that there will not be a recession in the U.S. over the period 2001/2002.
