Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company’s consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), include the accounts of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, including WW Holding Corporation, Boot Barn Holding Corporation, Boot Barn, Inc., RCC Western Stores, Inc. (“RCC”), Baskins Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“Baskins”), Sheplers, Inc. and Sheplers Holding Corporation (collectively with Sheplers, Inc. “Sheplers”) and Boot Barn International (Hong Kong) Limited (“Hong Kong”). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The vast majority of the Company’s identifiable assets are in the United States. Fiscal Year The Company reports its results of operations and cash flows on a 52‑ or 53‑week basis, and its fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of March unless April 1st is a Saturday, in which case the fiscal year ends on April 1st. The year ended March 30, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”) consisted of 52 weeks. The years ended March 31, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”) and April 1, 2017 (“fiscal 2017”) consisted of 52 and 53 weeks, respectively. Comprehensive Income The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its consolidated financial statements and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its consolidated financial statements. Segment Reporting GAAP has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments, including disclosures related to a company’s products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company monitors and reviews its segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its reportable segments. During fiscal 2019, as a result of the evolution of the Company’s operations and the information reviewed by the CODM, the Company determined it no longer operates in a single operating segment. The Company concluded its retail stores and e-commerce websites represent two operating segments. Given the similar qualitative and economic characteristics of the two operating segments, the Company’s retail stores and e-commerce websites were aggregated into one reporting segment in accordance with guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). As a result of this change in the Company’s segment reporting, the Company’s operations now represent two reporting units, retail stores and e-commerce, for the purpose of its goodwill impairment analysis. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Among the significant estimates affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements are those relating to revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill, intangible and long‑lived assets, stock‑based compensation and income taxes. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, the Company’s future results of operations may be affected. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents also include receivables from credit card sales. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents represent their fair values. Accounts Receivable The Company’s accounts receivable consists of amounts due from commercial customers for merchandise sold, as well as receivables from suppliers under co‑operative arrangements. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was less than $0.1 million for both the fiscal years ending March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018. Inventories Inventory consists primarily of purchased merchandise and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first‑in, first‑out basis and includes the cost of merchandise and import related costs, including freight, duty and agent commissions. The Company assesses the recoverability of inventory through a periodic review of historical usage and present demand. When the inventory on hand exceeds the foreseeable demand, the value of inventory that, at the time of the review, is not expected to be sold is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the applicable loan agreements using the effective interest method. Those costs related to the issuance of debt are presented as a reduction to the principal amount of the debt. Debt issuance costs incurred with the issuance of revolving credit lines are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Debt discounts arise when transaction fees are paid to the lending institution. Debt discounts are recorded as a reduction to the principal amount of the debt. Amortization of debt discounts is recorded as an increase to the net principal amount of the debt and as a charge to interest expense over the term of the applicable loan agreement using the effective interest method. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment consists of leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, software and vehicles. Property and equipment is subject to depreciation and is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major remodels and improvements are capitalized while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of such assets are charged to expense. Gains or losses on disposal of fixed assets, when applicable, are reflected in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from five to ten years. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over five years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over seven years. Software and vehicles are depreciated over five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the terms of the leases or ten years. Goodwill and Indefinite‑Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Goodwill and Other . This guidance provides the option to first assess qualitative factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value (a “Step 0” analysis). GAAP has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments, including disclosures related to a company’s products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company monitors and reviews its segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its reportable segments. During fiscal 2019, as a result of the evolution of the Company’s operations and the information reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company determined it no longer operates in a single operating segment. The Company concluded its retail stores and e-commerce websites represent two operating segments. Given the similar qualitative and economic characteristics of the two operating segments, the Company’s retail stores and e-commerce websites were aggregated into one reporting segment in accordance with guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). As a result of this change in the Company’s segment reporting, the Company’s operations now represent two reporting units, retail stores and e-commerce, for the purpose of its goodwill impairment analysis. If, based on a review of qualitative factors it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs “Step 1” of the traditional two-step goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the Company proceeds to conduct a two‑step goodwill impairment test, the first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. Management evaluates the fair value of the reporting unit using a market‑based analysis to review market capitalization as well as reviewing a discounted cash flow analysis using management’s assumptions. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using the income approach and market approach to valuation, as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of that goodwill. The amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, if any, will be recognized as an impairment loss. The Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill during fiscal 2019, 2018, or 2017. Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which include the Boot Barn, Sheplers and Country Outfitter trademarks, are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually, or when events indicate that impairment may exist. The Company calculates impairment as the excess of the carrying value of indefinite‑lived intangible assets over their estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. The Company concluded there was no impairment of intangible assets with indefinite lives during fiscal 2019, 2018 or 2017. Definite‑Lived Intangible Assets Definite‑lived intangible assets consist of certain trademarks, customer lists, non‑compete agreements, and below‑market leases. Definite‑lived intangible assets are amortized utilizing the straight‑line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, with the exception of customer lists, which are amortized based on the estimated attrition rate. The period of amortization for customer lists and definite-lived trademarks is three years and below‑market leases is four to 19 years. Long‑Lived Assets Long‑lived assets consist of property and equipment and definite‑lived intangible assets. The Company assesses potential impairment of its long‑lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset or asset group’s carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that are considered important that could trigger an impairment review include a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses and a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses or insufficient income associated with the use of a long‑lived asset or asset group. Other factors include a significant change in the manner of the use of the asset or a significant negative industry or economic trend. This evaluation is performed based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities compared with the carrying value of the related assets. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized, measured by the difference between the carrying value, and the estimated fair value of the assets, with such estimated fair values determined using the best information available and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . During fiscal 2019, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $0.5 million related to three of its stores. During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of less than $0.1 million related to two of its stores. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $1.2 million related to three of its stores. The fair values of these locations were calculated based on the projected discounted cash flows at a similar rate that would be used by market participants in valuing these assets or prices of similar assets. Stock‑Based Compensation Stock‑based compensation is accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company accounts for all stock‑based compensation transactions using a fair‑value method and recognizes the fair value of each award as an expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model. The use of the Black‑Scholes model requires a number of estimates, including the expected option term, the expected volatility in the price of the Company’s common stock, the risk‑free rate of interest and the dividend yield on the Company’s common stock. Judgment is required in estimating the number of share‑based awards that the Company expects will ultimately vest upon the fulfillment of service conditions (such as time‑based vesting). The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgments. The Company classifies compensation expense related to these awards in the consolidated statements of operations based on the department to which the recipient reports. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recorded for store sales upon the purchase of merchandise by customers. Transfer of control takes place at the point at which the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register. E‑commerce sales are recorded when control transfers to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery of the product. Shipping and handling revenues are included in total net sales. Shipping costs incurred by the Company are included as cost of goods sold. Sales taxes that are collected in connection with revenue transactions are withheld and remitted to the respective taxing authorities. As such, these taxes are excluded from revenue. Revenue is recorded net of estimated and actual sales returns and deductions for coupon redemptions, estimated future award redemption and other promotions. The sales returns reserve reflects an estimate of sales returns based on projected merchandise returns determined through the use of historical average return percentages. The total reserve for returns was $1.8 million, $1.6 million, and $1.5 million as of fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively and is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for the asset and liability separately on a gross basis. The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s sales returns reserve: Sales Returns Reserve Fiscal Year Ended March 30, March 31, April 1, (In thousands) 2019 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 1,587 $ 1,544 $ 1,319 Provisions 39,026 35,189 30,624 Sales returns (38,852) (35,146) (30,399) Ending balance $ 1,761 $ 1,587 $ 1,544 The Company maintains a customer loyalty program. Under the program, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. For customers to maintain their active point balance, they must make a qualifying purchase of merchandise at least once in a 365‑day period. Once a loyalty program member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may be redeemed for credits on merchandise purchases. To redeem awards, the member must make a qualifying purchase of merchandise within 60 days of the date the award was granted. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points are accrued as unearned revenue and as an adjustment to net sales. The unearned revenue for this program is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and was $1.9 million, $1. 7 million and $2.1 million as of March 30, 2019, March 31, 2018, and April 1, 2017, respectively. The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s customer loyalty program: Customer Loyalty Program Fiscal Year Ended March 30, March 31, April 1, (In thousands) 2019 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 1,705 $ 2,060 $ 1,975 Current year provisions 5,433 4,877 6,782 Current year award redemptions (5,202) (5,232) (6,697) Ending balance $ 1,936 $ 1,705 $ 2,060 Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are deferred until the customers use the cards to acquire merchandise. Gift cards, gift certificates and store credits do not have expiration dates, and unredeemed gift cards, gift certificates and store credits are subject to state escheatment laws. Amounts remaining after escheatment are recognized in net sales in the period escheatment occurs and the liability is considered to be extinguished. The Company defers recognition of a layaway sale and its related profit to the accounting period when the customer receives the layaway merchandise. Income from the redemption of gift cards, gift card breakage, and the sale of layaway merchandise is included in net sales. The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s gift card program: Gift Card Program Fiscal Year Ended March 30, March 31, April 1, (In thousands) 2019 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 7,857 $ 7,108 $ 5,939 Current year issuances 14,112 11,007 9,882 Current year redemptions (12,341) (9,871) (8,530) Current year breakage (832) (387) (183) Ending balance $ 8,796 $ 7,857 $ 7,108 Disaggregated Revenue The Company disaggregates net sales into the following major merchandise categories: Fiscal Year Ended % of Net Sales March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018 April 1, 2017 Footwear Apparel Hats, accessories and other Total The Company further disaggregates net sales between stores and e-commerce: Fiscal Year Ended % of Net Sales March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018 April 1, 2017 Stores E-commerce Total Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, obsolescence and shrink provisions, store and warehouse occupancy costs (including rent, depreciation and utilities), inbound and outbound freight, supplier allowances, occupancy‑related taxes, compensation costs for merchandise purchasing and warehouse personnel and other inventory acquisition‑related costs. Store Opening Costs Store opening costs consist of costs incurred prior to opening a new store and primarily consist of manager and other employee payroll, travel and training costs, marketing expenses, initial opening supplies and costs of transporting initial inventory and certain fixtures to store locations, as well as occupancy costs incurred from the time that we take possession of a store site to the opening of that store. Occupancy costs are included in cost of goods sold and the other store opening costs are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. All of these costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising Costs Certain advertising costs, including pay-per-click, direct mail, television and radio promotions, event sponsorship, in‑store photographs and other promotional advertising are expensed when the marketing campaign commences. The Company had prepaid advertising costs of $0.4 million and $0. 8 million as of March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. All other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recognized $27.7 million, $25.5 million, and $24.7 million in advertising costs during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Leases The Company recognizes rent expense for operating leases on a straight‑line basis (including the effect of reduced or free rent and rent escalations) over the lease term. The difference between the cash paid to the landlord and the amount recognized as rent expense on a straight‑line basis is recognized as an adjustment to deferred rent in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash reimbursements received from landlords for leasehold improvements and other cash payments received from landlords as lease incentives are recorded as deferred rent and are amortized using the straight‑line method over the lease term as an offset to rent expense. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of the specified sales that triggers the contingent rent is probable. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are attributable to differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets, net of any valuation allowances, represent the future tax return consequences of those differences and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, which will be deductible when the assets are recovered. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Such changes in recognition or measurement might result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties, if incurred, are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. There were no accrued interest or penalties for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2019 or March 31, 2018. Per Share Information Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities such as stock options. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company utilizes the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Fair Value of Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , (“ASC 820”) which requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities defined by the guidance as financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. ASC 820 defines the fair value of financial instruments as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three‑level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities. · Level 1 uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets include investments in money market funds. · Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. · Level 3 uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation. The Company’s Level 3 assets include certain acquired businesses and the evaluation of store impairment. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be certain significant inputs that are readily observable. The Company believes that the recorded values of its financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or duration. Although market quotes for the fair value of the outstanding debt arrangements discussed in Note 8 “Revolving credit facilities and long‑term debt” are not readily available, the Company believes its carrying value approximates fair value due to the variable interest rates, which are Level 2 inputs. There were no material financial assets or liabilities requiring fair value measurements as of March 30, 2019 on a recurring basis. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. At times, such amounts held at banks may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits, and the Company mitigates such risk by utilizing multiple banks. Supplier Concentration Risk The Company purchases merchandise inventories from several hundred suppliers worldwide. Sales of products from the Company’s three largest suppliers totaled approximately 39% of net sales in fiscal 2019, approximately 40% of net sales in fiscal 2018, and approximately 38% of net sales in fiscal 2017 . Hurricane-Related Insurance Claims During fiscal 2018, as a result of Hurricane Harvey, $3.2 million of inventory and property, plant and equipment at certain Houston-area stores were damaged and written off. These assets were insured at the time of the loss. The Company also incurred $0.3 million of repairs and maintenance expense during fiscal 2018 as a result of Hurricane Harvey. The Company received cash insurance proceeds of $5.1 million as of March 31, 2018, which includes $0.1 million of business interruption cash insurance proceeds. The charges and recoveries are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, resulting in a net gain of $1.6 million during fiscal 2018. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued a new revenue recognition standard, ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, that supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The revenue recognition standard allows for the recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a full retrospective or retrospective with cumulative effect transition method. On August 8, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, and permitted early adoption as long as the adoption date was not before the original public entity effective date. The standard was effective for public entities for annual periods, and interim periods within that year, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Those sales contain a single delivery element and revenue for such sales is recognized when the customer obtains control. Adoption of the standard did not result in any change in the timing or amount of revenue recognized by the Company in fiscal 2019. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Enhanced disclosures will also be required to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, allowing a modified retrospective approach, under which entities have the option to not restate comparative periods and instead recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments in these ASU’s are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within that year, beginning after December 15, 2018. The standards will be effective for the Company beginning March 31, 2019, the first day of its fiscal 2020 year. The Company plans to elect transition-related practical expedients as accounting policies under ASU 2016-02, which allow entities to not reassess, as of the adoption date, (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the classification of any expired or existing leases, and (3) if previously capitalized initial direct costs qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. The Company will elect the practical expedient option to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases, and will also elect the short-term lease recognition exemption that will keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less excluded from balance sheet capitalization. This will result in recognizing those lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Based on the Company’s completed assessment of its existing lease portfolio, the Company estimates it will record right-of-use (ROU) assets of approximately $165.0 million and ROU liabilities of approximately $180.0 million upon adoption of this standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations a |
