Ann: EMC Progress in China Initiative - On Track to Achieve Plan, page-30

Hi EB, what really caught my eye was this statement, ""The Company is in active discussions with ten additional potential distribution partners, some of whom cover territories not served by the first four partners.

Once it passes acceptance and certification, then it will go into penetration. I hope I am not reading too much into this. Appreciate your thoughts.
