Landi continued: "Since we have also made a new joint venture agreement, with Lionstone International of Lake Bluff, Ill., to immediately market our wines nationally - on a far larger scale than would otherwise be possible - and since this new joint venture agreement has the potential to account for the sale of 100% of Antogianni's annual wine production, even at greatly expanded levels, we anticipate that our future operating results will include significant new revenues and profits that will be generated by these new arrangements.'' |
