While I don't doubt the validity of this comment, it may be worthwhile
looking at how SARS is affecting SKC's peers in Australia. This report in
yesterday's Australian:
"Jupiter's Ltd expects the deadly SARS virus to depress its pre-tax
earnings
by up to $3 million in 2002-03"
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,6394492%5E462,00.html
Perhaps the easiest way to clear up conjecture over SARS and how it's affecting
SKC is for management to issue a guidance statement.
