to be granted should the distribution contract not be extended.<o:p></o:p>

4. Future Outlook<o:p></o:p>

MMC served the notice to the Plaintiff six months prior to the expiration date of the distribution contract which is legitimately in accordance with the provisions set forth in that contract. Because the Plaintiff's claim lacks a rationale, MMC does not consider this lawsuit will affect its business results at all at this time. MMC will strenuously fight this lawsuit and support its position with legitimate evidence. In the meantime, MMC will promptly notify the market of all relevant information should there be any further developments that need to be disclosed.<o:p></o:p>
