Ann: Quarterly Cashflow Report, page-22

I've began researching MNS this weekend starting with the board. One word descibes my views: exceptional.

After reading all the threads and seeing how many long termers are mystified by the new direction, and just as disgruntled, I tried to join the dots in some of their concerns. One issue that arose a few times was the mystery surrounding the NY factory. I found the phrase 'research centre in New York' in one of the announcements, but no formal description of what this is exactly. But since our Board professor researches from NY uni, then suddenly the dots were connected on this one issue.

The German connection is similiar, and as I read and surfed the info highway after reading the threads, I wasn't having any problems in understanding. I suppose my judgement wasn't clouded from emotional attachments to the past.

Anyway, I'm still putting it all together for my own DD, but let me say now, it's all looking pretty good for me to be investing.

I hope some of the long termers can start to see things afresh.
