Please describe to us the nature and extent of any past, current, and anticipated contacts with Syria and Sudan since the 2015 letter, including contacts with their governments, whether through subsidiaries, licensees, distributors, affiliates, or other direct or indirect arrangements. 2. Please also discuss the materiality of those contacts, in quantitative terms and in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an investment decision. Tell us the approximate dollar amounts of any revenues, assets and liabilities associated with Syria and Sudan for the last three fiscal years and the Sandeep Reddy Guess, Inc.
