The forecast of import for remainder of the year from September is expected to be about $2SM, 25M, $50M and $50M respectively or about $150M. Total for the year will be about $737M or 83% of ABB. The main products that affected the estimate are SG-100 for Nittobo floor tiles and Eidai Sangyo HPP ceiling tiles. Nittobo reduced their SG-100 usage of 100 T/M to 50 T/M, which is 600T for the year amounting about $59,000. Eidai Sangyo discontinued making ceiling tile causing reduction of 30 T/M of HPP or 360 T/Year amounting to about $51,000. The combined decrease of $110,000 has affected the 1976 sales performance. The ecology regulations are gradually getting more stringent and very confusing due to different interpretations. Even the central and local Welfare Officials differ in interpretation here.
