Why exactly do you think Ricoh would buy a brand with no future?
What would be the business case?
Do you think perhaps that all the Ricoh directors had shares in Hoya, and thought it would be a good idea to boost Hoya at the expense of their own company?
Please advise. I am fascinated by your thought processes.

However, I am convinced that their commitment is contingent on turning around profitability in the medium term. Or do you think the directors of Ricoh are running a charity?
