Default ***New SSR Info***

We have received some new information from Tanabe regarding SSR products.

“A public notice regarding transfer of SSR’s assets dated July 6, 2005 was issued and sent to you by the receiver. This public notice certifies that ex-SSR all assets such as trade mark, machinery, real estate, inventory and so on have been transferred to us.

Now we are modifying some of the layout in our factory, and at the same time, are negotiating for the contracts with manufactures of raw materials and sub-contractors. We believe this will be finishing soon. The factories of 2pc wheels and 3pc (cast centers) wheels will start to operate on August 1st.

As to the factory of 1pcs wheels in SSF (and 3pc SSR wheel centers), maintenance of machinery is necessary. So we are targeting to start on September 1st.

At present we are checking the stock availability of the products for the US market. Please be patient for a while. After that we will off you the prices of the model to be continued (competition, GT3 and GT10) together with other terms and conditions."

that sounds like what happened, mike. which is not a bad thing (if they try to absorb the company rather than just support it). tanabe already has an office here in the US, i would expect things to be smoother and faster

No, IMO that would be a great thing.
