< Borders International stores,
such as this one in Singapore, contributed positive net income
in the fourth quarter of 2000. Now were taking steps
to move International stores from profit potential to profit
realization on a full-year basis.
< The Borders model
is unique overseas
where our stores are as popular in Sydney and Glasgow (pictured

to exchange best store practices across continents.
