Barbara, it was a pleasure talking with you. 
I have a few questions on which I need your advice.

Do you know of any presence plant which has not installed the full TPAS 
system? If so I would like to know how they accommodate cost plus pricing 
and resale method pricing simultaneously within Maxcim. Maxcim allows only 
one pricing methodolgy.

If every plant (including presence plants) installed TPAS, does it mean that 
we have to install the full TPAS system even though the system and resource 
investment might not be fully justified? This was why we decided against 
installing TPAS in the first place.

How feasible is the alternative of generating a credit note at the end of 
each quarter to reflect correct cost plus pricing to US (assuming billing 
at resale price)? 

Rgds,
Philip
