message to all shareholders, page-8

Andres and DD I am also in that court as you probably know.Well said to both of you too.I however have also come to understand the frustration of many current holders. It has been the spin of management and the hype on our threads that fuels the enthusiasm.The liquidity ensures we are picking up many new holders along the journey. I bought in 07 at 25c and sold during GFC after it went too far below my buy in price, at 20c. Few moths later bought again at 8.8c and topped up at 39c and hence content with the performance. Not all have been following so long so we have to respect the views who bought in at much higher levels. I generally dislike when people post at what their buy price is but I feel it is warranted for me at this stage of the journey so people get a feel for the sentiment, as you have done DD.

Although I respect GJ for what he was able to achieve and the humanitarian qualities of the man I was dissapointed at the fact they continued to spruik JV talks after the first T/O offer when revealed later that Chinese won't compete against themselves.It is something we discussed often on HC and when it went above T/O offer at 50c was the best time to sell in hindisight. We will still not rule out any rival bidders as the last shining light.

I have much respect for current and past board for getting SDL onto the radar of the global big players despite the adversity that is slowly coming to light.

In the vain of KP:Our journeys in life teach us much,so we can pass, to generations after us, the ways of the world and how to distribute our trust and beliefs. We can only learn from happenings before, and hope that when we venture out to catch fish our depth sounder has been adequately calibrated from previous experience.I think the cork needs to go in that bottle again Pythag!

Good luck holders, remember there are worse things that could happen.
