just in the same way as BHP is writing off $US5.6 billion at its Australian nickel operations. It is called a bad investment for a reason. NUH has almost zero tangible effect on the Realtek operations, it was a punt for them more than anything. I think that they are starting to realize that this particular gamble isn't gonna pay off. Horrible management, even worse monetary discipline, and RIDICULOUSLY high wages to the NUH staff for literally destroying approx. 75% of the shareholders' value (inc. the SP dilution) in just 2 years. IMO/DYOR
