employees for the tour business. Her long-range plans, Ms. Lin, from what I understand, is to move, physically move, the one building to another location so that it remains in the area of long-term rental. It wouldn't take away from the need for long-term rental and then build another structure which would be for bed & breakfast. It's an ambitious plan. I think at this time she's much in a better financial position to proceed on with that. Ms. Lin? CLARKSON: Please proceed. LIN: Hi everybody. My name is Dien -Jung Lin. I'm sorry, but my English is my second language. I living in here since 1983, and Iwe start up business 1991, '95 I purchased the house, 25, that big house and about ten years from, before ten years from now, before now, I purchased the 26 lot and the small house. Intention is to have our business residential and parking lot together. So, 2008, it was, we applied for our rezone but because the commercial parking lot we cannot so we already moved to 496 Kanoelehua. Most of office and the parking is in there, industrial, and since we have a tour coming so we want to build a B&B for them to stay, plus we will serve the B&B, serve the breakfast which is good for Chinese. For now, we have a Chinese tour, Japanese, English, and some Korean. So, that is idea, but since 2008, we just pass it. We think so positive we can do it, but financially, the business was not that good, and last year we're getting better and better, and I sold the other house. We have small house, other property, gathered in the money. We have fund enough, and we have a bank working on it to build a B&B. Not ready quite meet the ten years period yet, so that's why we request for extension. If we can have a commercial continue to use as CN, and we can really quick to develop it, and if cannot, we already start already, but we stop it before we have [inaudible]. The zone is continue to be CN, then we will develop as soon as possible. Okay, thank you. CLARKSON: Thank you.
