Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For a summary of significant accounting policies (which have not changed from December 31, 2014), see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Positron Corporation (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) for the period ended September 30, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Debt Discount:

Costs incurred with parties who are providing long-term financing, which generally include the value of warrants or the fair value of an embedded derivative conversion feature, are reflected as a debt discount and are amortized over the life of the related debt. The debt discount attributable to initial embedded conversion derivative liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $345,000 and $332,000, respectively. The Company recorded the accretion of debt discount of $345,000 and $995,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The total unaccreted debt discount at September 30, 2015 was $115,000, compared to $460,000 at December 31, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, common stock payable, and unearned revenue, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

•

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

•

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following table presents the embedded conversion derivative liability, the Company’s only financial liability measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

	September 30, 2015		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Embedded conversion derivative liability	$	649	$	-	$	-	$	649

The following table reconciles, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

Balance of embedded conversion derivative liability as of December 31, 2014	$	760
Gain on fair value adjustments to embedded conversion derivative liability		(111	)
Balance of embedded conversion derivative liability at September 30, 2015	$	649

The fair value of the conversion features are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a derivative liability for the calculated value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon conversion of the convertible debt to stock, the Company reclassifies the related embedded conversion derivative liability to paid in capital. Since the fair value of the embedded conversion derivative liability exceeded the carrying value of the convertible debentures on the issuance date, the convertible debentures were recorded at a full discount. The Company recognizes expense for accretion of the convertible debentures discount over the term of the notes. The Company has considered the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in each debenture could result in the note principal being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company’s revenues are currently derived from the sale of medical equipment products, maintenance contracts and service revenues. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of medical equipment products when earned. Specifically, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company obtains a signed customer acceptance after installation is complete for the sale of its Attrius® systems.

In multiple-element arrangements, revenue is allocated to each element based on their relative selling prices. Relative selling prices are based first on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), then on third-party evidence of selling price (TPE) when VSOE does not exist, and then on estimated selling price (ESP) when VSOE and TPE do not exist. Because the Company has neither VSOE nor TPE for its products, the allocation of revenue has been based on the Company’s ESPs. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product was sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines ESP by considering the facts and circumstances of the product being sold.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018.

Other issued or adopted accounting pronouncements are not expected to, or did not have, a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reverse Stock Split

On November 18, 2014, the Company filed a Definitive Information Statement to effect a 1-for-400 reverse split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split was announced by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on April 17, 2015 and became effective on April 18, 2015. This action was approved on May 8, 2014 by written consent of our Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the Company’s voting common stock.

On April 8, 2015, the effective date, every 400 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock. The Company did not issue any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who otherwise would have been entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled, to one share.

Throughout this report, each instance which refers to a number of shares of our common stock refers to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Split, unless otherwise indicated. References to a number of shares of common stock in our historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 are reported on a post-Reverse Split basis.

Going Concern

Since inception, the Company has expended substantial resources on research and development and sustained losses. Due to the limited number of systems sold or placed into service each year, revenues have fluctuated significantly from year to year and have not been sufficient to be operationally profitable. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $127,200,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,583,000 at September 30, 2015. The Company will need to increase sales and apply the research and development advancements to achieve profitability in the future. The Company will need to resume and increase sales of PET and radiopharmaceutical systems, services, radiopharmaceuticals and radioisotope sales and apply the research and development advancements to achieve profitability in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in selling products.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $28,000 at September 30, 2015. At the same date, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $944,000 at September 30, 2015, and a negative working capital of $2,589,000. Working capital requirements for the upcoming year will reach beyond our current cash balances. The Company plans to continue to raise funds as required through equity and debt financing to sustain business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On September 8, 2015, the Company was served with a petition for Involuntary Bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas by three parties alleging to be creditors of the Company, requesting relief from the Bankruptcy Court under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company has filed a Motion to Dismiss or in the alternative to Transfer Venue to another Judicial District requesting the case be moved to the Northern District of Illinois. Concurrently, an Answer was filed alleging that the Involuntary Petition is defective because the petitioning creditors are not qualified or the claims being asserted against the Debtor are the subject of a bona fide dispute either as to amount or liability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either of these contested matters. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in averting bankruptcy or its outcome implementing its business plan and ultimately achieving operational profitability. The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent on its ability to 1) achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations, 2) control costs and expand revenues from existing or new business 3) meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operation in the near future and 4) raise additional funds through debt and/or equity financings.

Other Assets

Other assets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of $201,000 and $201,000, respectively, in deposits paid to our joint venture partner, Neusoft for Attrius® systems.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period and earnings adjusted for preferred stock dividend requirements. Diluted earnings per common share assumes that any dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each period were converted at those dates, with related interest, preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which market price exceeds exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds. The convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively since it would have resulted in an antidilutive effect.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Notes Payable and Advances from related parties

On January 17, 2012, the Company assumed from MIT a note payable with Los Alamos National Bank (“LANB”) in the amount of $700,000. On February 10, 2012, MIT refinanced with LANB the principal and accrued interest of this note payable with a promissory note of $708,000, maturing on February 10, 2015. The promissory note is guaranteed by the Company and secured by all assets of the Company. Total interest paid on the promissory note was $14,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015

On April 29, 2015 DX, LLC (“DX”), an entity controlled by Cecil O’Brate a principal and affiliated shareholder (owner of approximately 23% holder of the Company’s common stock) purchased the Company’s outstanding debt, accrued interest and fees in the recorded amount of $481,950 from LANB. The note is currently due on demand and bears interest at 16.0% per annum (default rate). The Company is currently in default and has received a demand letter from DX. The Company is currently negotiating with the note holder. At September 30, 2015 the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest was $481,950 and $32,624, respectively. The transfer of the debt constitutes an extinguishment of debt from LANB, but no gain or loss has been identified to the Company.

On August 13, 2015 the Company reached an agreement with three of its creditors to convert an aggregate of $670,367 in advances into 670,367 newly issued shares of the Company’s 8% Series J Secured Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series J Preferred Stock”). As of September 30, 2015 , prior to the consummation of the agreements or filing the Certificate of Designation for or the issuance of the Series J Preferred Stock, the creditors advised the Company that they had withdrawn their acceptance of the settlement and deemed the agreements revoked.

Stock Options

For all of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid cash dividends to date and does not currently expect to pay cash dividends) and the expected term of the option. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price over a period commensurate with the expected life of the share option as well as other factors. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life at the time of grant.

In 2015, the Board extended the outstanding options to January 17, 2020. The options vest immediately and company recognized compensation expense of $159,000 during the first quarter of 2015.

Fair market value using the Black-Sholes option-pricing model was determined using the following assumptions:

Expected life (years)	5
Risk free rate of return	1.29	%
Dividend yield	0
Expected volatility	293	%

Overview

Positron Corporation is a nuclear medicine healthcare company specializing in the business of cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Cardiac PET is the superior method in diagnostic nuclear imaging for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD), a leading cause of death in the United States.

Positron’s products and services enable healthcare providers to more accurately diagnose disease and improve patient outcomes, while practicing cost effective medicine. Positron is working on providing an economical, end-to-end solution for PET myocardial perfusion imaging through complementary product integration of PET imaging systems, radiopharmaceuticals, and radioisotopes.

Positron's goal is to gain a dominant market position with strong earnings potential, ultimately becoming a sustained, long-term value creator for industry participants and our shareholders.

The Company

Positron, a pioneer in nuclear cardiology for over 30 years, is establishing a unique position in the cardiac PET marketplace by vertically integrating the fragmented and limited supply environment that exists today. Positron’s goal is to provide nuclear cardiologists an end-to-end solution by offering award-winning imaging technology, clinical services, imaging agents and innovative financing packages conveniently from a single source. Securing the cardiac PET supply chain will help to accelerate the adoption of this superior modality and growth of the nuclear cardiology industry.

An important factor for the growth of cardiac PET is the increase the supply of Strontium-82 (Sr-82), parent isotope of the most widely used cardiac imaging agent Rubidium-82 (Rb-82). Constrained manufacturing capacity of Rubidium-82 generators and limited Sr-82 supply are the primary reason for stagnant growth of cardiac PET despite demand potentially being at an all-time high. Industry demand and supply limitations have created significant opportunities in Positron’s pursuit to aggregate and integrate critical components in the cardiac PET imaging value chain.

The Company believes that vertical integration will help to secure and stabilize the supply chain, significantly reduce costs and industry uncertainties, and accelerate the adoption and growth of the cardiac PET modality.

Positron is focused on increasing Sr-82 supply through radioisotope processing and production. Positron has supply agreements and technology partnerships with global irradiators that produce Sr-82. Positron believes it is one of the few commercial resources in the U.S. with practical knowledge and experience of Sr-82 production and generator lifecycle management. Through multiple radioactive material sources, including potentially the Company’s own high-energy cyclotron dedicated to the production of Sr-82, Positron intends to introduce additional supply of Sr-82 into the marketplace, leading to an increase in the availability of Rb-82 generators and the need for PET systems. Positron seeks to secure both short and long-term supply of radioisotopes used in cardiac PET imaging. The Company intends to further supplement strontium resources by pursuing additional supply agreements with domestic and foreign irradiated source suppliers and by recycling expired generators.

Positron believes PET is the future of nuclear cardiology and Positron’s ability to offer the award-winning nuclear imaging technology and clinical services supplemented by the supply of key radioisotopes positions Positron as the industry’s authority in the business of cardiac PET.

Positron intends to maximize market share by offering cost-effective, value added solutions to end-users that meet the current and future nuclear cardiology market demands.

PET vs. SPECT

There are two main imaging modalities utilized in nuclear cardiology: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, or SPECT, and Positron Emission Tomography, or PET.

In myocardial perfusion imaging, PET has been proven to be superior in sensitivity and specificity when compared to SPECT, the more commonly utilized modality. Cardiac PET scans, with Rb-82 Chloride or Nitrogen-13 Ammonia (N-13), result in a lower patient radiation exposure and capable of performing superior quantitative measurements such as coronary flow reserve. Cardiac PET imaging has been shown to provide a 50% reduction in invasive coronary arteriography and coronary artery bypass grafting, leading to a 30% costs savings and improved clinical outcomes, when compared to SPECT (M.E. Merhige, M.D., et al. Journal Nuclear Medicine 2007; 48:1069-1076).

The cardiac PET equipment market is much smaller than SPECT, but has seen significant annual growth of 30% during the last decade. Based on Company estimates there were approximately 170 dedicated cardiac PET & PET/CT scanners performing nuclear cardiology within the U.S. in 2014, a tenfold increase since 2006.

Barriers to entry

For many years, one of the major constraints for adoption of this modality had been the high cost of PET and PET/CT scanners. Many practices and hospitals could not justify the cost of a new system for cardiac studies. In 2009, Positron received FDA clearance to market and distribute its dedicated PET system, which is optimized for nuclear cardiology. The Attrius is the only new, cost effective, dedicated PET system available on the market. Other system manufacturers (GE, Philips, Siemens) offer PET/CT cameras, which have a 200%-300% higher purchase price; PET/CT systems also possess attributes that may affect the accuracy of a perfusion study, leading to false positives.

Another more recent issue that has slowed the growth of nuclear cardiology is the shortage of the key drugs utilized in both SPECT (Mo-99/Tc-99m) and PET imaging (Sr-82/Rb-82).

The Sr-82 isotope decays to produce the Rb-82 tracer utilized in cardiac PET studies. Rb-82 is the most commonly used cardiac PET tracer in the United States. The FDA approved Rb-82 in 1989 for use in the detection of coronary artery disease and the Health Care Financing Administration approved reimbursement for Rb-82, PET MPI, in 1995 as a first line test in symptomatic patients.

The explosive growth of cardiac PET imaging in 2001-2011 has driven a significant increase in the use of Sr-82/Rb-82 generators. The demand for Sr-82 is beginning to outpace supply. Due to the growing demand and limited supply, the industry suffered a Sr-82 shortage in January 2011, effecting supply of Rb-82 generators. The same year Bracco Diagnostics Inc., the sole market supplier of the Rb-82 generator, underwent a voluntary recall of generators, further stunting industry sales and growth. Though delivery of Bracco's generators to existing clients was restored in 2013, the supply is essentially flat due to a combination of limited generator manufacturing capabilities and limited availability of additional Sr-82.

Positron is acutely focused on additional supply of Sr-82. The U.S. Department of Energy had been the entity in the United States capable of producing this material. In August of 2012, Positron's whole-owned subsidiary, MIT, registered its DMF with the FDA. Since then Positron has validated irradiated targets from several major foreign irradiators and has been appointed an API grade strontium-82 supplier to Draximage, a manufacturer of Sr/Rb generators..

Positron continues to support the possibility of building a high-energy cyclotron in the future, primarily dedicated to Sr-82 production. The U.S. cardiac PET market can support several high-energy cyclotrons. Positron's technological leadership in Sr-82 production and processing provides us with a significant advantage over other companies seeking to deliver Sr-82.

Positron anticipates the cardiac PET market to rebound within the next twelve (12) months, beginning with the addition of a new Sr-82 supply from non-company owned domestic and international sources, the introduction of a new compact N-13 producing cyclotron from Ionetix Corporation, and with accelerated expansion upon market entry of DraxImage’s generator, pending FDA approval.

Our Market

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are more than 22,000 cardiovascular diseases specialists in the U.S., and their number will increase to 31,000 by 2020. This is the target market for our products and services, as well as hospitals in the United States that performs or could perform nuclear cardiac procedures and want to automate the delivery of radiopharmaceuticals. By adding complimentary products, we will be able to offer customers value added solutions which include low cost molecular imaging devices, maintenance service, disease specific software and, potentially, radiopharmaceuticals agents for Cardiac Nuclear Medicine.

Cardiac Nuclear Medicine helps in the diagnosis, management and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients. Radiopharmaceuticals are injected into a patient to provide the most accurate, non-invasive test for identifying narrowed coronary arteries, mild cholesterol build-up or diffuse coronary vascular disease, conditions that are responsible for almost all heart attacks.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and constitutes 17% of overall national health expenditures (Forecasting the Future of Cardiovascular Disease in the United States, American Heart Association, 2011). Direct CVD costs are projected to increase from $273 Billion, in 2010, to $818 Billion, in 2030; with indirect costs, due to lost productivity, expected to rise from $172 Billion to $276 Billion by 2030.

Market Potential

Although the cardiac PET industry since 2011 has experienced its most challenging years ever, it enabled the Company to aggressively pursue its strategy of aggregating and integrating the key components critical in securing the cardiac imaging supply chain. Positron is dedicated to lowering the barriers that have been constricting, or could later constrict, the progress of medical advancements in cardiac PET. Through our efforts to supplement the supply of key radioisotopes and our ability to offer innovative products and services, management is attempting to position Positron to become the industry’s only end-to-end solutions provider.

We believe that Positron may potentially be able to vertically integrate the fragmented “single source supplier environment” that exists in the cardiac PET market today and that these initiatives are intended to drive the Company towards consistent profitability and cash flow.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229(10(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s financial officer has determined that there is a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have identified the following material weaknesses in our disclosure procedures:

Audit Committee and Financial Expert - The Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

Disclosures of Related Party Transactions – The Company restated its financial statements for each of the first three quarters of 2014 following review of the Company’s related party disclosures during such periods.

The Company has enhanced its process for classifying and categorizing transactions by examining all transactions on a monthly basis and communicating such transaction classifications to the Company’s accountants who prepare the quarterly schedules.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 8, 2015, Company was served with a petition for Involuntary Bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas by three parties alleging to be creditors of the Company, including DX, LLC, an entity controlled by Cecil O’Brate a principal and affiliated shareholder (owner of approximately 23% holder of the Company’s common stock), requesting relief from the Bankruptcy Court under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company has filed a Motion to Dismiss or in the alternative to Transfer Venue to another Judicial District requesting the case be moved to the Northern District of Illinois. Concurrently, an Answer was filed alleging that the Involuntary Petition is defective because the petitioning creditors are not qualified or the claims being asserted against the Debtor are the subject of a bona fide dispute either as to amount or liability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either of these contested matters.

From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any other legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on financial condition or results of operations.
