We don’t believe that Trade Group has the balance sheet nor the financial
resources to absorb the shortfall if there is no enough spread to be split.

So the question is that can we bank on his agreement/promised, even stated
in the JV.

Also Shell is domestic fuel, why the buyer changes order if TG can get a
Shell tier 1 price regardless.
