Biannual Sales Report, October 3, 2007
 
The recent analysis of our sales fi gures versus the earlier projections indicates a pleasing trend. While we encountered a bit of a slump mid-year, sales are now picking up and have been a lot higher than expected over the last two months. Our projections now indicate / that we will achieve a record-high sales volume in October of $40 million.
 
We believe the low figures in May and June can be attributed to instability in the local economy. At this time the national elections were being held, and there was some uncertainty as to how the outcome would affect the region. Our data analysis shows that our larger consumers, including government organizations and large corporations, greatly reduced their spending during these months.
 
Following on from the election, the market settled down, and our sales recovered. Moving into August, sales increased dramatically as a result of our expansion into Canada and Mexico. In the month of September, the company achieved its highest sales volume  since June 2006. (This is when TP Supplies, a multinational conglomerate and our main competitor, entered our local domestic market.) These results are extremely positive, and the future looks promising for Glispex Officeworks.

Not really, because people may be boarding at the front door. It's best to use the side one.
