OPINION

Per Curiam:

On or about May 21, 1968, Zeba Nell Long and F.P.D., Inc., entered into a “Distributor ‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍Agreement” giving Mrs. Long *28the right to act as the appellant’s exclusive distributor in Lubbock County, Texas. Mrs. Long purchased fifty counter vendors and a large number of “samplettes” from the appellant which she ‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍thereafter placed and maintained in various retail outlets.

The distributor agreement included a repurchase provision which obligated the appellant to buy back the counter vendors and any remaining samplettes if the vendors were continuously ‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍maintained and serviced at retail outlets for a period of one year.

The lower court found, in effect, that Mrs. Long had substantially performed her duties under the contract and ordered the appellant ‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍to repurchase all of her remaining inventory.

The record before this court includes neither a transcript of the lower court proceedings nor an agreed statement of facts. Under these circumstances we are unable to ‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍review the appellant’s challenge to the finding of substantial performance. Turner v. Staggs, 89 Nev. 230, 510 P.2d 879 (1973).

Affirmed.
