COMMENT

 

The  company   focused   on Sales  activities  which  have  been  implemented  and  its  substantial  new  ordered  of  2007  allowed  the  company  to  pursue  its  2007  targets   for  Revenue  and  net  profit. 

 

The  company  has  commenced   active  sales  in  China  in  2007  through  its  associate  company  L.V Technology  Engineering  (Tianjin)  Co.,  Ltd.,  and  also  to  undertake  new  relative  large  scale  projects  in  South  America  in addition  to  new projects   in  the  more  traditional  markets  like  Vietnam,  Malaysia,  Indonesia,  Pakistan,  Iran,  the  Middle  East  and  North  Africa.  Also,  efforts  has  been  made  in  2007  to  actively  pursue  project  acquisitions  in  RSA  and  Mozambique  as  well as  Russia.  Moreover,  representation  agreements have  been  concluded  in  2006  with  new  agents  in  the  Middle  East,  Indonesia,  Vietnam  and Australia.

 

However  the  market  of  overall  industrial  sector  has  been  slowing  down  more  than  earlier  forecast,  which  has  affected  company  sales  target  in  both  domestic and  overseas  markets.   Therefore,   sales and  services  condition  are  tough,  and  growth  has  experienced  slowdown in  the  large  area  of  industrial  expansion.
