I am sure that they probably will take all current projects in the area of film rewsearch and development to completion; but they probably will not start any new projects, given that they intend to phase out of the market over the next 7 years. It is likely that this decision may have been discussed over the last couple of years; but it was made in all likelihood in the last several months. It was also prfobably stimulated by the very large loss in both revenues and stock value during the past year, as reported on the news.
