Mr. Hamilton Goulding:

I made an apology in my statement. When one makes an apology, one needs to be sure of exactly what one has done wrong. When I look back at the circumstances and the options I faced, I still have a little difficulty in ascertaining what I could have done differently. There are a few things. I am not perfect. The board was not perfect. I am very sorry that this happened. I wish I could have done better.
