Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[Matthew Berg]

I doubt that's true. Do you have proof of that because I can tell you that's simply not the traditional practice. Here's how it usually works. The distributor receives a pro forma invoice from Marani and then decides whether or not they are going to participate. If so, they issue a 90-day non-recourse purchase order that takes effect only after delivery of the full order when the clock starts running. Once all the product is delivered, and not before, Marani issues an invoice for whatever was delivered. After 90 days the distributor sends Marani a check for whatever sold through and sends back what wasn't or hopefully places a new order. Doubt the second situation will occur given the brand support and volumes claimed. But be well aware, there is no up front money coming from the distribution channel. It just doesn't work that way.
