Okay We have technology to regenerate all abandoned led us batteries and we can extend battery life and we can reuse all Batteries and those are very helpful for people in developing countries people in non-electrified regions, so To be here is we have we know how to contribute to those people in the problem of a digital divide and For business we can go other place else place, but our contribution can be Important for this world. How complex is the technology required to regenerate batteries? Material we have additive for leadership batteries. It's proven technically proven and the very Highly reliable products and we have a lot of a good record and It's not difficult to use our technology and our additive, but we need a Partner who understand the battery and who understand the regeneration service? So we need a partner in each country Because we cannot do a regeneration service by ourselves We can we can surprise the product and we can teach and guide how to do Regeneration successfully and I know you were here Four years ago here at ITU telecom. Well, I wanted to find out from you How how has it been going for you? How how how is business? well very good and Because we are small company.
