Say, I was wondering you'd mentioned on at least the cut back in the UK based on sort of what you thought is a I guess, overbuild on the build in the umbilical market. It seems that you think of built weak in that area, are there other areas that you think that are sort of making up for this? Or other particular regions that you think would be exceptionally strong?
Robert P. Mingoia - Vice President and Treasurer
I think we've been talking about our lower margins and Subsea products as we added capacity for an order flow rate that did not occur. And we're going through our entire Subsea products operations looking for manufacturing efficiencies. And I think the UK that I indicated where we will be reducing our workforce of up to 25%, it's kind of a leading indicator. We'll be looking at our other operations, but right now there is no current plans that we're prepared to announce.

Okay. And then, wondering, still looks like that ROV looks like demand still seems to be quite good although cut it back to slightly for next year. With that do you envision the operating income per days continuing to move up slightly?
Robert P. Mingoia - Vice President and Treasurer
Well, that's ... well with the uncertainty out there. And, but yes, I think even with the strong deepwater, I was just thinking about the new additional rig should be coming in and then adding to that. Yeah, I think the answer is we expect operating income per day to continue to improve.
Unidentified Analyst
Okay. I'd like to slip one last one in, just on share buybacks you're still considering increase in that or what is that do?
Robert P. Mingoia - Vice President and Treasurer
Well, right now, that is under consideration by our Board and I think it'll probably be discussed at the next meeting in November.
