Fred Berlin, President and CEO, stated, "We continue to be pleased with how well the French version of Qbanito's album is being received. With his No 1 single 'Maria' and this recent market success, we are in active negotiations with current industry leaders for world-wide licensing and distribution rights for the album. As I have stated before, I feel that the imminent release of the Spanish single and album will significantly surpass the success that we have seen so far from the French versions, and I expect to have an announcement in the very near future regarding these release dates."
