Scott, they have earned the harsh criticism, time To fish or cut bait

as far as the CES show, it is a non event if zenith cannot manage

operations. Keep in mind that I watched these ( one of the seven

wonder words) run zenith to the sub level ground for years.

> excuses don't turn companies around.

Just read this news story that I had'nt heard mention on this board.
Zenith will recieve a settlement of about a million a month for 11 months from a dispute it had with a brazilian company. Probably old news

newsalert.com

Sales were negatively impacted as a result of a dispute the company has had with a Brazilian customer. The company has not shipped to this customer this year, and as a result the company's international sales have been lower than expected. In addition, third-quarter 1997 selling, general and administrative expenses were affected as the company recorded a $6.0 million bad debt charge related to this Brazilian customer's receivable.
For 1997, the company has recorded a total bad debt charge of $21.0 million related to this customer , which reflects the company's estimated loss as of September 27, 1997. Subsequent to September 27, 1997, this matter was settled. The agreement provides that the company will make certain parts and components available to this customer, and will receive an $11.0 million settlement payable in installments over eleven months.
