reasonable: Mick tells Bruno that "the sales are fair". In this context, "fair" means "reasonable". As an adjective, "fair" can have many different meanings (just, impartial, light, etc).

decreasing: "Fair" does not indicate that something is "decreasing", which describes the act of getting smaller or reducing in size.
poor: "Fair" does not indicate that something is "poor" or "below average", but rather that something is reasonable, or even a little bit "better than average".
