We would need to submit a business plan to the French Judge at the Bankruptcy court by May 24th which does not give us much time. Clearly we would need to find a really could CEO and CFO and develop a marketing strategy. I really think this is a jewel that has lost its lustre and with a bit of polishing could regain its brand stature on the global map in a relatively short period of time. The exit would be in 3-5 years when it might be sold to Chanel, Richemont or LVMH. Just let me know either way ASAP, so I can pursue other avenues if its not of any interest to you. As ever, Mark EFTA00630332
