We are extremely pleased to have secured this partnership. While this transaction will reduce top line revenue for the Company, it will allow for our concentration on higher margin, lower working capital intensive, manufacturing. We believe that strength in manufacturing is essential to grow and develop our FLI brand in the market and achieve positive cash flow.
