Thanks for the reply. the look of he share price any information leaks have been firmly plugged.

Re: What's Zwanziger up too? I cannot imagine that the reasons for Ron's departure are due to negative developments, i.e. that he has over-promised and under-delivered. Even if he did, his value is too great to give him the boot right away. One possibility may however be that his style was too aggressive and that some of the old guard could not cope with that. I am hopeful that the reasons for his departure are positive: I could imagine that he has been approached by a private equity firm to lead the take-private / buy-out of EKF and drive the business forward under private ownership (with eventual trade sale in mind). It would be a pre-requisite that he would not be a non-exec on the Board. If this is the case, then I guess we should find out tomorrow!

Ron Zwanziger If he wanted to lead a buyout of EKF as an exec, he cannot be chairman at the same time...

Awfully quiet around here ... EKF has been recovering quite a lot since the shock a month or two back. Has everyone deserted it completely? If there's anyone around, do you believe in its plan to return to profitability? What predictions, if any, for the share price?

This deadline will only be extended with the consent of the Panel."22 minutes left ...
