Chase, we were not directly responsible for the current Wham-0 molds, and have no agreement with them. As for joint ventures; we have had negotiations in the past with companies like Adidas and Nike. These were high volumn type discs, not golf discs, that we were not in a good position to do. We have had joint ventures with the Optimizer people, DGA and Wham-0 in the past, and there is nothing to prevent that in the future. A joint venture between disc golf and a big market player like Nike, Adidas, MacDonald's etc. could get a lot of exposure for disc golf. Just having an advertizer of that magnitude would be huge.

Focus there. It's the key.
