Answer 2

Hello everyone, and thank you for coming. Today we'll have a presentation of our company's current situation. Please, take your seats. This year, our sales figures are lower than they were last year. Sales fell by 5 per cent. That is not as bad as it could be, but still essential. As you all know, the recent financial crisis was rather unpleasant, and our sales are only about $2.1 billion. We lost a huge fraction of our business because the prices grew. Our clients want old prices, but we can't work at a loss. Again, our national currency costs less than the Euro. But let me encourage you a bit. The forecast is inspiring. We expect a good increase of sales next year. That will help us make up what we lost before.
