This is a

CVS, I on the world. I'm John Bachelor. I welcome Chris Regal, the CEO of

scholar.com. Scholar.com is a global technology firm business on all major continents transforming the

retail space with digital signage. We begin this morning looking at China, East Asia, not for the conflict zone, but first for the fact that there was a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan.

And the first question I asked, having been to Taiwan you you would think I would be

concerned with the fate of Taipei would buildings fall over they're very good about

building buildings that can withstand big earthquakes.

That was a big one.

It was on the east side of the island.

But still, no, the first question I asked was,

how's T.S.C. doing?

And apparently, that was the same thing Bloomberg was thinking because immediately we had on the wire

Bloomberg's terminal that T.S. M. was reporting safety precautions in place all nominal continuing MC was

reporting safety precautions in place all nominal continuing manufacturing.

Chris a very good evening to you thank you for this.

When you heard about the 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan.

Was your first thought, T.S.C?

Good evening to you.

Good evening, John.

Absolutely.

The strategic importance of Taiwanese manufacturing cannot be played down in any way.

With the earthquake, even though publicly a T.S.C would state everything is good, nothing to see here.
