Ann: AGM Chairman Address and CEO Presentation, page-23

Hi synap............... Hi.. I do appreciate your comments and read them

My take up on :'.......................Dr Leon has a stellar reputation when it comes to his association with medical device companies (not true, he was even investigated by the US Congress)'

From what I see of the USA Congress, with all due respect, I would think most there could do with some form of Investigation themselves,. I have never witnessed a gathering of bickering - ain't getting anywhere- bunch of ineffective people -ever - period, who appear to be suffering from verbal diarrhoea. My observations are of late - maybe many years ago one could have had faith in them !

I am not saying that the good Dr. has a 'lilly white' reputation..........but compared to the Congress I question what the investigation was all about.

Unfortunately in my opinion, the USA is on a slide - down. I do however put a lot of faith in the Drs..........associated with AVR.

Having said my last comment, at my age I have seen much - unfortunately- the statement ' Highly Educated ' is not what it once meant, especially in regards to ones' character - in my opinion.

From what I see the progress of AVR is stellar and I am of the opinion there will be a bid for it. When -- who knows... but I am going to put '-my time frame on it'
- in less than 9 months. Why - no idea. NOTE all that is a PURE GUESS, gut feeling, whatever- on my part. Do not believe it in any shape or form. You do your own research. My comments are -not advice in any shape or form.
