It continues to be an important part of our company policy to be responsible for the health and welfare of people in the areas which we serve. In the past year, we have concentrated especially on education and training, and have invested over $ 5,000,000 in this and other areas ranging from the care of the old to the arts. Let us look at these first. We have, as always, financed health research and care projects helping not only the old but children and the disabled too. We were especially pleased this year to provide alarms for disabled people who live alone and to run programmes which help children understand better the problems facing disabled people. The Groundwork Foundation encourages young people in poor areas to improve their environment, while the Schools Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London includes 20,000 children nationwide. Both of these were given financial help. As mentioned above, in the last year we have been active in supporting a range of education projects. Two of our managers are now out of the company on one-year projects, training young people for work in the retail industry and improving the quality of the teaching they receive. In addition, we have started a programme of three-month schemes which our managerial staff are able to benefit from without having to take a long break from their jobs. Schools and universities have also benefited. A London Business School received $ 50,000 to develop a training programme for UK school staff, giving them the skills necessary to manage their own schools. A major University has received a promise of $100,000 over 5 years to fund a new teaching post in international retailing. This will allow 22 more students to study this subject each year. It is not only the companythat supports good work for other people. Members of staff themselves are encouraged to join the company Give as You Earn system, to give money to others, especially those organizations working for the benefit of the local area. In such cases the company often gives its support by making an additional contribution. We look forward to committing even more money to these and other projects in the coming year.

{{B}} Questions 23-28{{/B}} · Read the newspaper article below about Japanese investment. · For each question (23-28), choose the correct answer. · Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer sheet. {{B}} JAPAN INCREASES TRADE AND INVESTMENT IN ASIA{{/B}} Japan has been the most powerful country in Asia, but it had little trade with the region until now. Now, Japan is doing more trade with Asia than with the rest of the world. In 1985, the US was Japan's main customer; Japan exported a third more to the US than to Asia. Now, Asia buys 30%more than the US and three times as much as Europe. Japanese imports from Asia increased by 150% between 1985 and 1995. Japan's imports amount to $ 60 billion from Asia in 1993, compared to $ 50 billion from the US and $ 24 billion from Europe. In 1994, Japan invested $ 7.7 billion in Asia. During the next few years, 75% of Japan's direct investment will be there. Japanese investment in the region is now $ 64 billion, as against US investment of $ 26 billion, or German investment of $ 7 billion. Thailand expects new Japanese investment to reach $ 8 billion by 1998. Already, Japan controls 90% of Thailand's auto market. Labour costs in Japan are high, so Japanese companies are setting up in countries where workers get paid much less; an increasing number of Japan's employees now live outside Japan.

The group hopes to open 4 of the new restaurants by the end of this year, creating up to 120 jobs. The programme will result in a chain of over 100 Dalehouse restaurants in towns and cities all over the United Kingdom by the end of the four-year period.The company also has a limited programme of expansion in other countries. There are plans for the company to open its third restaurant abroad towards the middle of next year as planning permission was recently received for a restaurant in the south of Spain. At the moment there is a Dalehouse restaurant in Germany and another in Denmark. Negotiations are already taking place about opening two more restaurants in Germany and three more in Spain.Mr Dale said yesterday: 'Our plans are ambitious and there is no doubt that in some ways they are quite frightening. But we've been in business for twenty years and a lot of our staff have been with us for most of that time and, as a result, have experience of things growing at a fast rate.'The Dalehouse chain currently has 82 restaurants, all in town centre locations. The group is planning now to expand further in residential areas. The company intends to continue its tradition of having most of its restaurants open from midday until midnight seven days a week. It will also continue to open restaurants in buildings which were originally designed for a different purpose.Certain financial journalists wonder whether the company will be able to find enough cash to finance its plans. Mr Dale, however, remains positive. 'It is true,' he says, 'that we will not be able to finance the plans without some support from the banks, and we are in the process of arranging this at the moment. Most of the money, however, will come from the amount we have kept back from 'our profits for future investment in the business. We opened 4 restaurants last year so an expansion programme of 5 this year and 6 next would not be outside the normal rate of growth. We have had hardly any problems financing our expansion in the past and expect this to continue in the future.
