ACCOMPLISHMENTS

FY 2008 ( April 2007 – March 2008)

In addition to the day by day routine the following are examples of my contribution as Controller in the FY’08.

HUMAN RESOURCES:

• Enhancements to our Group benefit plan: Active participation in the negotiation of the current contract. Without increasing the cost of the plan we got additional benefits for the employees as follow:

1. Health: It was implemented a pay direct drug plan

2. Vision care was increased from $125 to $200 / 24 months

3. Dental increase basic and major services from $ 1,500 to 2,000 per year

4. Dental increase Orthodontics services from 1,500 to 2,000 lifetime maximum

• WSIB Certification. (Work Safety Insurance Board of Ontario). It was realized that we were not in compliance for many years (more than 10) and it was time to disclose the situation. We did not have to pay penalties and it was requested to pay only the premiums for the last two years. This is beneficial for the company.

• Improving customer satisfaction: With my recommendation to hire the HR consultant we have improve our service to our entire customer specially our Home Entertainment and Sony Digital Groups.

ADMINISTRATION:

• Team work with our Manager, office services implementing initiatives to improve our productivity, reducing at the same time the overall cost of the services. The number of telephone lines used was reduced substantially and the use of multifunctional machines gives us today a reduction of overhead for about $70K per year. ( Compare FY’05 Vs FY’08)

ADMINISTRATION:

• Negotiation with Bell Canada. It was charged $40k in services no received,

Interest, penalties etc. that were part of our strategy to change service provider.

It was a very demanding situation trying to get this back. Finally it was approved our request to disregard this charges.

OPERATIONS:

• The application of a revised fx rate every quarter for print pricing that I recommended gave us in CY 2007 a cost reduction of approximately $ 2.7M. ( Compare)
