DB,

Did you provide this piece of news for us to celebrate or to remind us that competition never sleeps? There is a very old English saying: the last argument of the King is the artillery. Would you like to ask Edig's management what do they intend to do? Does this mean we lose our ranking in the indusrty? How does the quality of our product measure up against the competition? How does our sales effort compare to that of our competition? Why IMS seems to be successful in placing its products and us invoking the recession? How do they use the increased revenues? Is our engineering personel adequate in order to stay competitive?

I am sure this board would like to have answers to these question.
