Hi I’m Jay Freidman. I’m from Zero Motorcycles, and we’re based in Scott’s Valley, CA. What we were basically doing – we were in essence if you wanted to buy our motorcycles, if you wanted to be a distributor for our motorcycles, you would literally wire us the money before we would put the motorcycles in the container, and then we would ship them to you. That really limits the amount of market that you have. So with Ex-Im what we’ve been able to do is really evolve that into a model where we can offer our distributors, and even our dealers, worldwide, whether it’s in Europe or whether its in South Africa or Mexico or brazil, we can offer them financing terms. That means they can buy more motorcycles - they can have more motorcycles to be able to sell to their customers and so it’s really dramatic. Right now we’re probably at about 30% out of the US in terms of our business volume, and we anticipate that’s going to double to about 60% of our market this year.
