Sad to hear.

Man this is going to make me think twice about doing anything risky on my scooter when I ride it again.

I wonder how a design company could be losing $178 Million, last year. I would think if they had little design work, they would also have few designers.

Very sad to hear.

On a side note, how does a design firm lose that much money?

probably had to do with the "restructuring" plan...big one time write-offs and not reoccouring costs....I hope...or the business just sucks.
