Contingencies
During February 2014, a cylinder was sold to a long-term customer and ruptured at one of their gas facilities. As a result of this rupture, three people were noted to have minor injuries such as loss of hearing. There was no major damage to assets of the customer. A claim was launched by the three people who were injured in the incident and a prosecutor has been appointed. We had reviewed our quality control checks from around the time which the cylinder was produced and no instances of failures were noted. It has also been noted by the investigator that the customer has poor quality and safety checks. As a result, we do not believe that we are liable for the incident, and therefore, do not currently expect this case to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
