I see this question being continually asked re not releasing sales information. I am purchasing manager and if I was purchasing from a company and had this information on hand I would definitely use it to my advantage. As a shareholder in NSL I don't like that I don't know this information but I think it is quite smart and would do the same in this situation if I was him. Any smart purchasing person though would just buy enough stock to last to each quarterly and then read the figures and negotiate based on the sales figures. It's a catch 22 really.
