1 start of the year you will make an estimate for what you
2 sell in the year. At the end of he year you look back and
3 say, "OK, I have sold this", if you do not have the data
4 that has been sold simply because you have not dealt with
5 them, then we try to get the next best thing. I know this
6 year it has been done differently or for 93 it has been
7 differently.

9 Q. But you would have got ----
10 A. I have got sales approximates.
11
12 Q. You would have the figures for 1992, would you not, if this
13 was not prepared until -- when was this report prepared?
14 It says "March 93".
15 A. February/March -- it was prepared in February 1993 and
16 published in March.
17
18 Q. So did you not have the sales figures for 1992?
19 A. No, because they did not go through us. Those were a
20 few items that we were not responsible for.

30 uncoated paper and board used was recycled material?

50 items being handled by Perseco in Europe and, thus,
51 included in this study and no longer going directly from
52 the supplier into the DCs." Which items are now handled
53 by Perseco that were not when you joined the company?
54 A. Those are generally items that went from a local
55 supplier or from a supplier in a country directly to that
56 country themselves, i.e. Polar cup Finland into
57 (inaudible), Polar cup Spain into Spain, say Italy into
