RE: BIG N Pro=ect Good Day, Ms. Rodriguez and Mr. Kahn= We would like to follow up with you =oth, as we did not hear back from either of you from our letter of 9/28/15= We began our business in 1981 with three employees. After 34 years, Subba=e Drydock employs 33 personnel and the majority of sales are derived from =abor. We pride ourselves on our professional reputation and the loyal clie=tele established among clients from Europe, North America and the Caribbea=. Our clients also include charter yachts, private yachts, ferries, tugs, =nd barges from the USVI, BVI and Puerto Rico. :=13r> I must say that the manner in which the 1Si Mana=ement company handled the Big N project was disjointed. There was no one h=re overseeing the project and reviewing the work being done and asking the=pertinent questions. Communication was via email or phone. Anna, you were =ery good and most pleasant to work with and we have no complaints;however,=honestly, the overhaul of the Big N is not your area of expertise. </=iv> EFTA_R1_01605159 EFTA02486222 Mr. Kahn, you phoned my off=ce on 9/24 with a host of issues raised, which I answered in detailed tech=ical explanations. I am not sure how familiar you are with marine repairs,=particularly overhauls such as the scope of Big N. You closed the conversa=ion by stating you would get back to me on Monday, 9/28. I never heard fro= you. This was a we=l performed job, yet, my tenant, island Rigging and Subbase Drydock are le=t with unpaid balances. This is most unprofessional and I am asking for a =esponse from either/or both of you as to why this is what you chose=to do. Best Regards= Eugene Kral, Sr. Subbase Drydock, Inc.<=font> St. Thomas.

He said that this is the first time he is hearing of this an= cannot do this in the last hour. If we mentioned before work began =e would have considered. Regarding invoices above=i told him 58,843 and 8,000 were as originally agreed to and we were ok to=pay.

He strongly disagreed and went on with all t=e extra work he did. I told him that i would like to pay him 58,843 =nd 8,000 today and we would revisit 3 other small charges =otaling 10,311 on Monday. I think at best i can get him to agree to =0% of 10,311 as he is being very firm. He also said he stands by all=his work that he just completed.
