Hello,

Surprise! Here is a 7th update concerning the evolution of our subsidiaries in Europe, Asia, Africa and America.

New subsidiaries
- Towards the end of the year, max end of January, 4 new subsidiaries will start: PT - NL - IE - CZ

The method of implementation from 4 years ago works fine. So we innovate with the creation of 4 new subsidiaries insofar as Ovh France does more than 50% of work and the subsidiaries are currently involved in setting installation of the new subsidiary. Thus, our ES subsidiary deals with PT, UK with IE, FR with NL and PL with CZ. Geographically closer, nearer historically and culturally, setting
place of the subsidiary is going much better.

- Beginning in 2009, we are attacking into 4 Scandanavian countries: DK - SE - FI - NO,
+ The 3 Baltic countries that interest us as much which are the best platforms for the FI and the RU. On reflecting on the plan of action on these 7 countries with a end-2009 target for the 7 subsidiaries and a platform for the attack into RU.

- After CZ (probably around March 2009), we will work on:
- SK, (which enters the Euro)
- AT,
End Sept. these 2 subsidiaries should work.

- The HU subsidiaries and RO are not yet fully decided because of security problems in these countries. If the situation changes we'll create these subsidiaries by the end of 2009. For now it is in stand-by.

- In the 2nd part of 2009, will start on CH and LU. Indeed, the HC is not in the EU, and this greatly complicates the procedures and LU is a special culture and geographically speaking.

- We believe that by the end of 2009 should offer services to 50% of the population of Europe. It's not bad. Could do better.

- The result?
- Asia, - The Mediterranean Sea - North America

- We started the establishment of the subsidiary in Tokyo JP. It is not only because I love sushi. We have a double Objective:
- Offer hosting services for businesses Japanese visitors to Europe
- If the subsidiaries in Japan takes, we will have a good infrastructure to offer similar services to all Asian countries. In any case, our small team in Tokyo advance work already. There is a change of method of work in establishing the subsidiary. It is a good test.

- The Mediterranean Sea and Africa
For now, we decided to go to countries that are close to the Francophone. Thus:
- We have a subsidiary SN
- We started the establishment of the subsidiary TN
- We are studying MA and IL mid 2009/end 2009
This will allow us to enter this area of the world hoping UPM that (the Union for the Mediterranean) also advance.

- North America
Similarly, we will begin during 2009 with Francophone Canada to move towards the English-speaking Canada and the USA. But the moment nothing is really accurate. It takes a little feeling, work and luck. It is hoped that in the future we will.

- With our subsidiaries in PT and ES and we have a nice opening on South America. For the moment we leave the window open
and we look.

Regards,

Octave
