#### Title: Understanding the Impact of Maritime Shipping Costs

Dear Customers,
Today, we would like to share with you an important perspective on maritime shipping costs, a key factor in the global supply chain.

### Key Points:
1. **Seasonal Fluctuations**:
Maritime shipping rates vary according to the season. Summer and the period around the Chinese New Year are often times when costs increase due to high demand and limited ship capacity.

2. **Factors Influencing Costs**:
Fuel prices, market conditions, and currency exchange fluctuations all play crucial roles in determining shipping rates. Unexpected events such as port strikes or congestion can also impact costs.

3. **Production and Logistics Time**:
In the best-case scenario, manufacturing a figurine takes about 3 months. Adding 1 month for quality control (QC) and the necessary time for transportation and administrative tasks, it takes between 4 to 5 months before maritime shipping. This does not include the time needed for upfront validations by rights holders, potential engineering issues, etc., which often means it can take a bit longer.

We plan to make a more detailed post in the future about the entire process of creating a statue from A to Z.
### Importance of Planning

Companies must carefully plan their shipments to minimize costs. This may involve choosing off-peak seasons for shipping goods or adjusting logistics strategies based on market trends.

To learn more about current trends and maritime shipping cost indices, we invite you to check these sources:
- [Freightos Baltic Index](https://fbx.freightos.com/)
- [Drewry World Container Index](https://www.drewry.co.uk/)

We hope this information helps you better understand the dynamics of our industry.

Sincerely,
The Oniri Creations Team

We had promised to communicate with you this week and provide updates. Unfortunately, we need to ask for a few more days, as we have not yet received all the necessary responses. To respect our commitment, we are posting this interim message.

We have already prepared the communication via email and on social media for what we are going to announce. However, not all contracts are signed yet, and we prefer not to take unnecessary risks by advancing premature information. We have already signed two licenses, two more are in progress, and two other responses should arrive soon.

Some more problematic licenses will clearly not be announced in our next communication. We do not yet have a precise date to give you, but know that we have had contacts with almost all the rights holders.

In summary, we have very good news, but we need to wait a few more days before sharing it. We can already announce that some statues are in the final stages of production, and we should have completed production of three statues by mid-August. Since the productions had already started, we paid the factories, which have resumed work, and we monitor the production progress daily.

As soon as we are allowed to communicate about the licenses, we will share all the information with you. This communication will also be sent by email before the end of the week.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. Stay tuned for excellent news to come!
2char.
