Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation
Speed Commerce, Inc. (the “Company” or “Speed Commerce”), a Minnesota corporation formed in 1983, is a provider of web platform development and hosting, customer care, fulfillment, order management, logistics and call center capabilities for clients.
On November 21, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sigma Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets which were operated under the trade name Fifth Gear (the “Fifth Gear Assets”); andthe Company entered into a five-year Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, $100 million term loan credit facility with various lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility replaced in its entirety the Company’s $50.0 million term loan facility.
On July 9, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Distribution business and entered into a five-year, $50 million term loan credit facility with various lenders, which was terminated by theAmended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement. The Distribution business has been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Speed Commerce have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the operating results and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Speed Commerce, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.
Significant accounting policies
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended March 31, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("Update 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2017, and early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, (“ASU 2014-15”), “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
Note 2 Acquisition
Fifth Gear
On November 21, 2014, the Company completed the Purchase Agreement of Fifth Gear Assets. Total consideration included: $55.0 million in cash at closing, and up to 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon Fifth Gear’s achieving certain financial metrics for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The cash paid at closing was funded by the Company'sAmended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement. The combined fair value of the earn-out consideration was estimated to be $10.4 million based upon Level 3 fair value valuation techniques (unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions). A financial model was applied to estimate the value of the consideration that utilized the income approach and option pricing theory to compute expected values and probabilities of reaching the various thresholds in the agreement. Key assumptions included (i) the product of nine times the 2014 Adjusted EBITDA of Seller, on a combined and consolidated basis exceeds (ii) $55 million in an amount not to exceed 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. We have not yet finalized the preliminary assessment of the fair value of tangible assets and intangible assets separate from goodwill. The final earn-out is subject to change until working capital calculations are settled with the Seller.
SPEED COMMERCE, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The preliminary goodwill of $32.3 million arising from the Purchase Agreement consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Fifth Gear. This transaction qualified as an acquisition of a significant business pursuant to Regulation S-X and financial statements for the acquired business were filed.
The purchase price was allocated based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):
Consideration: | | | | |
Cash, net of cash acquired | | $ | 54,821 | |
Earn out obligation | | | 10,441 | |
Working capital adjustment | | | (500 | ) |
Fair value of total consideration transferred | | $ | 64,762 | |
The Fifth Gear purchase price was allocated as follows: | | | | |
Accounts receivable | | $ | 5,175 | |
Inventory | | | 1,190 | |
Prepaid expenses and other assets | | | 740 | |
Property and equipment | | | 5,611 | |
Purchased intangibles: | | | | |
Developed product technologies | | | 3,070 | |
Customer relationships | | | 20,100 | |

Goodwill | | | 32,311 | |
Accounts payable | | | (1,513 | ) |
Accrued expenses and other liabilities | | | (2,444 | ) |
| | $ | 64,762 | |
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and remain subject to potential adjustments in areas including but not limited to the final amount and valuation of common stock issuable for the earn-out, final working capital settlement, and the valuation of acquired property, equipment and intangible assets.
Net sales of Fifth Gear, included in net revenue - in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 was $6.9 million. Fifth Gear provided operating income of $0.6 million to the consolidated Company’s operating income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014.
Acquisition-related costs (included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 were $2.0 million.

Note3 Discontinued Operations and Disposition
On July 9, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Distribution business to Wynit Distribution, LLC (the “Buyers”). The Company received cash proceeds of $5.0 million and a promissory note from the Buyers in an amount equal to $10.0 million at the close of the transaction, subject to adjustments for working capital and other matters. Based on estimated working capital and other adjustments, the Company has recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $2.1 million, inclusive of a $1.8 million reduction during three months ended December 31, 2014 based on changes in estimated final working capital.There are no principal payments under the promissory note until July 2015, with the final as adjusted principal balance payable in equal quarterly installments over three years. The sale of the Distribution businessis not expected to generate a federal tax liability but is subject to applicable state income taxes. In connection with the sale, the Company and the Buyer also entered into a transition services agreement to provide one another with certain post-closing transitional services.

On November 21, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year, $100 million Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with various lenders and Garrison Loan Agency Services, LLC (“Garrison”) acting as the agent (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). Upon the closing of theAmended and Restated Credit Facility, $100 million was funded to the Company, less certain fees and costs. The principal amount of the loans provided under theAmended and Restated Credit Facility are subject to repayment through an annual excess cash sweep and will be amortized at a rate of 2.5% annually through September 30, 2015, a rate of 3.0% annually through September 30, 2016, a rate of 3.5% annually through September 30, 2017, a rate of 5.0% annually through the remaining term of the credit facility. The remaining principal balance is due and payable by the Company on November 21, 2019. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility replaced in its entirety the Company’s existing credit facility dated on July 9, 2014.
The interest rate is roughly equal to the LIBOR rate, plus 7.5%, except upon an event of default. The LIBOR rate for all loans under the Amended and Restated Term Loan is subject to a minimum level of 1.0%. The interest rate on Amended and Restated Credit Facility at December 31, 2014 was 8.50%.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants include a limitation on capital expenditures, a minimum EBITDA level, a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio, and a maximum indebtedness to EBITDA ratio. The creation of indebtedness outside the credit facility, creation of liens, making of certain investments, sale of assets, and incurrence of debt are all either limited or require prior approval from Garrison and/or the other lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. This credit facility also contains customary events of default such as nonpayment, bankruptcy, and change in control, which if they occur may constitute an event of default. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants of the agreement.
Previous Term Loan Credit Facility

Letters of Credit
On April 14, 2011, the Company was released from a lease guaranty by providing a five-year, standby letter of credit for $1.5 million, which is reduced by $300,000 each subsequent year. The standby letter of credit can be drawn down, to the extent in default, prompt payments are not made under this office lease by the tenant.

There was no indication that the tenant under that office lease would not be able to pay the required future lease payments totaling $1.8 million and $2.3 million at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Therefore, at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company did not believe a future draw on the standby letter of credit was probable and an accrual related to any future obligation was not considered necessary at such times.

While we maintain client inventory at our fulfillment centers, we rarely own any of the inventory. Our earned revenue is based upon transaction fees earned from the services performed in accordance with the contract provisions. Recurring contract service elements are charged based upon the number of transactions processed and recognized as the services are performed. Upfront costs to onboard clients, including web site development, are deferred and recognized over the expected life of the relationship with the client.
Our clients include retailers such as The Army & Air Force Exchange Service and Navy Exchange Service Command, Justice, Yankee Candle, and Avenue With the addition of Fifth Gear in November 2014, our client base expanded to include, among others, Burger King, Lens.com, Smithsonian Institute, Zeeberry.com and popular pet specialty companies, Dog.com, Horse.com and Petbox. In October, we launched our E-commerce solution with Lowe’s Mexico, our first client in Mexico.
As a result of the acquisition of Fifth Gear, we have significantly expanded our fulfillment services infrastructure and the combined company has opportunities to cross-market web site and development and fulfillment services to its expanded customer base. The expanded footprint of our combined fulfillment centers affords clients greater flexibility to manage their inventory levels and cost structures. Fifth Gear’s client base includes a number of clients that are less subject to seasonal retail trends.
Working Capital and Capital Resources
Historically, our distribution business required significant levels of working capital primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventories. In addition, we have invested in variety of growth initiatives for our E-commerce business including the acquisition of Fifth Gear, expansion of our Ohio fulfillment center, automated sortation equipment, significant upfront new client deployment efforts and the development of SARA X.
On November 21, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year, $100 million Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with various lenders and Garrison Loan Agency Services, LLC (“Garrison”) acting as the agent (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). Upon the closing of theAmended and Restated Credit Facility, $100 million was funded to the Company, less certain fees and costs. The principal amount of the loans provided under theAmended and Restated Credit Facility are subject to repayment through an annual excess cash sweep and will be amortized at a rate of 2.5% annually through September 30, 2015, a rate of 3.0% annually through September 30, 2016, a rate of 3.5% annually through September 30, 2017, a rate of 5.0% annually through the remaining term of the credit facility. The remaining principal balance is due and payable by the Company on November 21, 2019. Funds provided under theAmended and Restated Credit Facility were used to fund our purchase of Fifth Gear and to repay the Company’s previous$50.0 million term loan facility with Garrison.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants include a limitation on capital expenditures, a minimum EBITDA level, a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio, and a maximum indebtedness to EBITDA ratio. The creation of indebtedness outside the credit facility, creation of liens, making of certain investments, sale of assets, and incurrence of debt are all either limited or require prior approval from Garrison and/or the other lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. This credit facility also contains customary events of default such as nonpayment, bankruptcy, and change in control, which if they occur may constitute an event of default. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants of the agreement.
On July 9, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year, $50 million term loan credit facility with various lenders and Garrison Loan Agency Services, LLC. Upon the closing of the Term Loan, $35 million was funded to the Company, less certain fees and costs. An additional $15 million delayed draw term loan was available to the Company under the Term Loan. Funds provided under the Term Loan, together with funds received in connection with the sale of the Company’s retail distribution and software publishing business, were used to repay in full the Company’s previous line of credit with Wells Fargo Capital Finance LLC, which was terminated in connection with the entry into the Term Loan. We refinanced the $50 million term loan credit facility in November with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.
At March 31, 2014, we had $38.4 million on our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as agent and lender, and a participating lender. Amounts available under the Credit Facility were subject to a borrowing base formula. At March 31, 2014, we had $76,000 of excess availability at the time but we were not in compliance with a covenant in the Credit Facility that required that we maintain excess availability of at least $5 million. This event of default was subsequently waived by Wells Fargo.

No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking statement will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of us speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made.

In addition to other matters identified or described by us from time to time in filings with the SEC, there are several important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement that may be made by or on behalf of us.
Some of these important factors, but not necessarily all important factors, include the following:
| ● | our service fee revenue and gross margin is dependent upon our clients’ business and transaction volumes and our costs; |
| ● | we may incur significant expenditures to expand our business which may reduce our ability to achieve or maintain profitability; |
| ● | technological developments, particularly software as a service application, electronic transfer and downloading could adversely impact sales, margins and results of operations; |
| ● | our restructuring and integration efforts, may have unpredictable outcomes, including the possibility of us incurring additional restructuring charges; |
| ● | the seasonality and variability in our business could adversely affect our results of operations; |
| ● | the divestiture of our distribution business could result in post-transaction payments and adjustments; |
| ● | our ability to meet our significant working capital requirements or if working capital requirements change significantly; |
| ● | certain of our contracts are terminable at will or contain penalty provisions; |
| ● | we may incur financial penalties if we fail to meet contractual service levels under client service agreements; |
| ● | the expected benefits of our acquisition of Fifth Gear or any future acquisitions may not be realized, and the indemnification obligations owed to us in connection with that transaction may be insufficiently supported; |
| ● | future acquisitions or divestitures could disrupt business, including the potential failure of successfully integrating future-acquired companies; |
| ● | our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future tax payments may be limited; and |
| ● | our E-commerce business has inherent cybersecurity risks that may disrupt our business. |
A detailed statement of risks and uncertainties is contained in our reports to the SEC, including, in particular, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014 and other public filings and disclosures. Investors and shareholders are urged to read these documents carefully.

Net revenue was $38.3 million for the three months ended December 30, 2014 compared to $32.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $5.7 million, or 17.5%. The increase was primarily attributable to our Fifth Gear acquisition, offset by a decrease in freight service revenue and the departure of a significant client.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was $29.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $28.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.0%.

Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses were $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 14.3%. The decrease was primarily due to changes in the sales team during the third quarter of fiscal 2015, partially offset by incremental costs due to Fifth Gear acquisition.
General and administrative expenses were $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $4.1 million, or 120.6%. The increase was primarily due to our Fifth Gear acquisition costs of $2.0 million and $1.8 million related to incremental Fifth Gear’s expenses. General and administrative expenses consisted principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees. No on-going corporate costs or general overhead expenses were allocated to discontinued operations.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $0.9 million or 64.3%.

Total other income and loss
Total other loss was $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $3.3 million or 100.0%.

Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses were $2.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $0.5 million, or 26.3%.

Deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not, based on the weight of available evidence, we would not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets. An assessment is required of all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the amount of any required valuation allowance.
Discontinued Operations
On July 9, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Distribution business to Wynit Distribution, LLC. The Company received cash proceeds of $5.0 million and a promissory note from the Buyers in an amount equal to $10.0 million at the close of the transaction, subject to adjustments for working capital and other matters. Based on estimated working capital and other adjustments, the Company has recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $2.1 million, inclusive of a $1.8 million expense during three months ended December 31, 2014 based on changes in estimated final working capital.There are no principal payments under the promissory note until July 2015, with the final as adjusted principal balance payable in equal quarterly installments over three years. The sale of the Distribution businessis not expected to generate a federal tax liability but is subject to applicable state income taxes. In connection with the sale, the Company and the Buyer also entered into a transition services agreement to provide one another with certain post-closing transitional services. The Distribution business is reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The final gain is subject to change until final working capital adjustments and other purchase agreement matters are settled with the Buyers.
The following table provides the components of discontinued operations (unaudited):

Net revenue for the Distribution business was $0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $149.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $149.9 million or 100.0%. The decrease in net revenue was due to our sale of the Distribution business during second quarter of fiscal 2015. Net revenue for the Distribution business was $71.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $316.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $244.4 million or 77.3%. The decline in net revenue was due to operating only 100 days during the fiscal year of 2015 compared to 275 days during the fiscal year of 2014. Pre-tax loss from discontinued operations was $0.5 million and $11.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to pre-tax income of $1.9 million and pre-tax loss $2.1 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
Market Risk
At December 31, 2014, we had $99.4 million of indebtedness subject to interest rate fluctuations. As such, a 100-basis point change in the current LIBOR rate would have a $993,750 impact on our annual interest expense.
Seasonality and Inflation
Quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our business. Specifically, our third quarter (October 1-December 31) typically accounts for our largest quarterly revenue figures and a substantial portion of our earnings. As a provider of services to retailers, our business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to other suppliers of retailers, particularly during the holiday selling season. Poor economic or weather conditions during this period could negatively affect our operating results. Inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations since we can generally offset the impact of inflation through a combination of productivity gains and price increases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources
Series C Preferred Stock
On June 2, 2014, we entered into a Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to institutional investors an aggregate of 3,333,333 of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $10,000,000, less transaction expenses.
The Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of 7% payable in cash or, at the Company’s option with respect to dividends accrued during the first year, additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and is convertible at any time commencing six months after the Closing into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment).On December 31, 2014, the Company issued 59,158 additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock as dividend in accordance with the terms of Section 2 of the Certificate of Designation of Series C Preferred Stock dated June 2, 2014. The Company has the right to force the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $5.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for 28 trading days in a 30 consecutive trading day period commencing on the initial convertibility date provided that the conversion shares are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement available for resales and certain other conditions are met. Commencing on the one-year anniversary of the issuance date, the Company also has the right to call the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to 110% of the stated value per share of the Series C Preferred Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, provided that the conversion shares are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement available for resales and certain other conditions are met.
The Company also issued warrants to the Series C preferred share investors which are exercisable at any time six months after their issuance and entitle the investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the date of the warrants. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (subject to adjustment). The Company has the right to force the exercise of the Warrants for cash in the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $6.00 (subject to adjustment) for 28 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days after the initial exercisability date, provided that the warrant shares are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement available for resales and certain other conditions are met. In connection with certain specified “fundamental transactions” or a “change of control” the investors have the right to require the Company to repurchase the warrants for their Black-Scholes value calculated as provided in the warrants. Based on fair value allocation $1.7 million of the proceeds from the Series C preferred offering were assigned to the warrants and included in other current liabilities. The warrants are accounted for as liability awards and subject to mark-to-market accounting. We recognized $186,000 of loss and $358,000 of gain for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, for as fair value adjustment which is included in other income (expense) in our statement of operations.
Liquidity
We finance our operations through cash and cash equivalents, funds generated through operations and our Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, which is currently fully funded. During the last twelve months, we have not had any significant changes in the terms extended to customers or provided by vendors which would have a material impact on the reported financial statements.
We continually monitor our actual and forecasted cash flows, our liquidity and our capital resources. We plan for potential fluctuations in accounts receivable and payment of obligations to creditors and unbudgeted business activities that may arise during the year as a result of changing business conditions or new opportunities. In addition to working capital needs for the general and administrative costs of our ongoing operations, we have cash requirements for among other things: (1) on-boarding expenditures for new clients including web site deployment and fulfillment center capacity investment; (2) equipment needs for our operations; (3) legal disputes and contingencies; and (4) asset or company acquisitions.
We currently believe cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from the expected results of operations, funds provided under our Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, which is currently fully funded and vendor terms plus funds received (and to be received) from the sale of our distribution business will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements, other cash needs, and to finance expansion plans and strategic initiatives for at least the next twelve months.
We may review from time to time possible expansion and acquisition opportunities relating to our business. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable. We may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances. Debt or equity financing may not, however, be available to us at that time due to a variety of events, including, among others, industry conditions, general economic conditions, market conditions and market perceptions of us and our industry.
