Tufts’ equity ownership in the Company makes Tufts a related party. A member of our Board of Directors was previously affiliated with Tufts and continues to receive compensation from Tufts on a formulaic basis on royalties and license payments the Company makes to Tufts. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded royalty expense of $0.4 million in cost of product revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. One of the Company’s directors is affiliated with Harvard University and Mass General Brigham. Revenue recorded from sales to Harvard University and its affiliates and to Mass General Brigham and its affiliates totaled $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded cost of goods sold of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to Harvard University and its affiliates and to Mass General Brigham and its affiliates, with immaterial cost of goods sold recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company had $0.1 million in accounts receivable from Harvard University and its affiliates and Mass General Brigham and its affiliates at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Deferred revenue from Harvard University and its affiliates and Mass General Brigham and its affiliates was less than $0.1 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. In August 2022, the Company also entered into a license agreement with Harvard University and paid an upfront fee of $0.6 million which was recognized as research and development expenses. Under this license, the Company is required to pay Harvard royalties on net sales of licensed products and services as well as a portion of our applicable sublicense revenues. Harvard University is obligated to pay a portion of the payments received from the Company to one of the Company’s directors. The Company incurred no royalty expense under this license for both three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022. On May 26, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with UltraDx Limited (the UltraDx Agreement), a company formed by ARCH Venture Partners (ARCH).

The Company has determined that UltraDx is a related party because one of the Company’s directors is affiliated with ARCH and UltraDx. Under the terms of the UltraDx Agreement, the Company shipped a total of ten fully assembled and disassembled HD-X instruments to UltraDx on June 30, 2022 at a purchase price of approximately $1.9 million. Because UltraDx was formed during the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized revenue on these shipments upon receipt of payment in the third quarter of 2022. Revenue recognized on shipments to UltraDx for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was less than $0.1 million and no revenue was recognized on shipments to UltraDx for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

15. Restructuring

Following a strategic review and assessment of the Company’s operations and cost structure, on August 8, 2022, the Company announced a plan of restructuring and strategic re-alignment (the Restructuring Plan). As part of the Restructuring Plan, the Company began an assay redevelopment program with the ultimate objective of improving its ability to manufacture and deliver high-quality assays at scale. The Restructuring Plan aligns the Company’s investments to best serve the needs of its customers, focuses the Company’s innovation efforts on key platforms and provides a foundation for the Company’s entry into translational pharma and clinical markets, which it believes will be required to access new growth categories. In accordance with the Restructuring Plan, the Company implemented a workforce reduction, which was substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 2022. The Restructuring Plan included the elimination of 119 positions and other cost-saving measures. The workforce reduction was substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 2022.

As part of the Restructuring Plan, the Company also performed an assessment of impairment for long-lived assets, including right-of-use assets, and recorded an impairment charge of $17.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The impairment expense includes $16.3 million associated with the right-of-use and property and equipment at the Bedford facilities. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million for software costs related to projects that were rationalized as part of the Restructuring Plan. There were no impairment charges recorded associated with the Restructuring Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Income taxes

11. Income taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and recorded income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Furthermore, the Company’s effective tax rate was (2.36)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 1.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The difference between the United States Federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is principally due to a valuation allowance in the United States, partially offset by income taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance on the majority of its deferred tax assets, and it has concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be utilized.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Allowance for credit Losses

Allowance for credit Losses

4. Allowance for credit losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers’ trade accounts receivable. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimated accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances.

Customers are assessed for credit worthiness upfront through a credit review, which includes assessment based on the Company’s analysis of customers’ financial statements when a credit rating is not available. The Company evaluates contract terms and conditions, country, and political risk, and may require prepayment to mitigate risk of loss. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company monitors changes to the receivables balance on a timely basis, and balances are written off as they are determined to be uncollectable after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

Activity related to the allowance for credit losses was as follows (in thousands):

Revenue

3. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods and services. Any related incentives and taxes collected from customers are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Customers

The Company’s customers primarily consist of entities engaged in the life sciences research market that pursue the discovery and development of new drugs for a variety of neurologic, cardiovascular, oncologic and other protein biomarkers associated with diseases. The Company’s customer base includes several of the largest biopharmaceutical companies, academic research organizations and distributors who serve certain geographic markets.

Product revenue

The Company’s products are composed of analyzer instruments, assay kits and other consumables such as reagents. Products are sold directly to biopharmaceutical and academic research organizations or are sold through distributors in EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. The sales of instruments are generally accompanied by an initial year of implied service-type warranties and may be bundled with assays and other consumables and may also include other items such as training and installation of the instrument and/or an extended service warranty. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers control of the product to the customer, which is generally upon installation for instruments sold to direct customers and based upon shipping terms for assay kits and other consumables. Revenue for instruments sold to distributors is generally recognized based upon shipping terms (either upon shipment or delivery).

Service and other revenue

Service revenues are composed of contract research services, initial implied one-year service-type warranties, extended services contracts and other services such as training. Contract research services are provided through the Company’s Accelerator Laboratory and generally consist of fixed fee contracts. Revenues from contract research services are recognized at a point in time when the Company completes and delivers its research report on each individually completed study, or over time if the contractual provisions allow for the collection of transaction consideration for costs incurred plus a reasonable margin through the period of performance of the services. Revenues

from service-type warranties are recognized ratably over the contract service period. For contract research services recognized over time, the Company uses the output method to measure the progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligations. Revenues from other services are immaterial.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a Master Collaboration Agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) establishing a framework for future projects focused on the development of Simoa immunoassays (the Lilly Collaboration Agreement). The Company also entered into a Statement of Work under the Lilly Collaboration Agreement to perform assay research and development services within the field of Alzheimer’s disease. In connection with the Lilly Collaboration Agreement, the Company received a non-refundable up-front payment of $5.0 million during the first quarter of 2022, which has been recognized over a one-year period. In addition, under the Statement of Work, the Company receives $1.5 million per calendar quarter during 2022, beginning with the first quarter of 2022. The Statement of Work automatically renews on a quarterly basis unless Lilly provides termination notice under the Lilly Collaboration Agreement.

Concurrent with the execution of the Lilly Collaboration Agreement, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (the Lilly License) under which Lilly granted to the Company a non-exclusive license to Lilly’s proprietary pTau217 antibody technology for potential near-term use in research use only products and services and future in vitro diagnostics applications within the field of Alzheimer’s disease. In consideration of the license, the Company paid an upfront fee, is required to make milestone payments based on the achievement of predetermined regulatory and commercial events, and will pay a royalty on net sales of licensed products.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $2.7 million of revenue from the Lilly Collaboration Agreement, respectively.

Collaboration and license revenue

The Company may enter into agreements to license the intellectual property and know-how associated with its instruments and certain antibodies in exchange for license fees and future royalties (as described below). The license agreements provide the licensee with a right to use the intellectual property with the license fee revenues recognized at a point in time as the underlying license is considered functional intellectual property.

Payment terms

The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Payment from customers is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 45 days from date of shipment or satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company does not provide financing arrangements to its customers.

Disaggregated revenue

When disaggregating revenue, the Company considered all of the economic factors that may affect its revenues. The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers by revenue type (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2023								Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue at 11%. At March 31, 2023, no customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable.

The Company’s contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. The Company combines any performance obligations that are immaterial with one or more other performance obligations that are material to the contract. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract transaction price, including discounts, to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on prices charged to customers in observable transactions and uses a range of amounts to estimate standalone selling prices for each performance obligation. The Company may have more than one range of standalone selling price for certain products and services based on the pricing for different customer classes.

Variable consideration in the Company’s contracts primarily relates to (i) sales- and usage-based royalties related to the license of intellectual property in collaboration and license contracts and (ii) certain non-fixed fee research services contracts. Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) provides for an exception to estimating the variable consideration for sales- and usage-based royalties related to the license of intellectual property, such that the sales- and usage-based royalty will be recognized in the period the underlying transaction occurs. The Company recognizes revenue from sales- and usage-based royalty revenue at the later of when the sale or usage occurs and the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated.

Changes in deferred revenue from contracts with customers were as follows (in thousands):


	2023		2022
Balance at December 31 of prior year	$	10,059	$	7,460
Deferral of revenue		4,436		5,000
Recognition of deferred revenue		(2,394)		(2,044)
Balance at March 31	$	12,101	$	10,416

As of March 31, 2023, of the performance obligations not yet satisfied or partially satisfied, $10.7 million is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, with the remainder to be recognized within the 24 months thereafter. The $10.7 million at March 31, 2023 principally consists of amounts billed for undelivered services related to initial and extended service-type warranties and research services, as well as $0.5 million related to undelivered licenses of intellectual property for a diagnostics company (see Note 5).

Costs to obtain a contract

The Company’s sales commissions are generally based on bookings of the Company. The Company has determined that certain commissions paid under its sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized as they are incremental and would not have occurred absent a customer contract. The change in the balance of costs to obtain a contract are as follows (in thousands):


	2023		2022
Balance at December 31 of prior year	$	377	$	440
Deferral of costs to obtain a contract		197		363
Recognition of costs to obtain a contract		(191)		(321)
Balance at March 31	$	383	$	482

The Company has classified the balance of capitalized costs to obtain a contract as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets and classifies the expense as a component of cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expense over the estimated life of the contract. The Company considers potential impairment in these amounts each period.

ASC 606 provides entities with certain practical expedients and accounting policy elections to minimize the cost and burden of adoption.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

The Company will exclude from its transaction price any amounts collected from customers related to sales and other similar taxes.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. The Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company has elected to account for the shipping and handling as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the product, and therefore will not evaluate whether shipping and handling activities are promised services to its customers.

Grant revenue

The Company recognizes grant revenue as the Company performs services under the arrangement when the funding is committed. Revenues and related research and development expenses are presented gross in the consolidated statements of operations as the Company has determined it is the primary obligor under the arrangement relative to the research and development services.

Accounting for grants does not fall under ASC 606, as the grantor will not benefit directly from the Company’s expansion or product development. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for grants to for-profit business entities from government entities, the Company has accounted for grants obtained with the National Institute of Health (NIH) under its Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) program by analogy to International Accounting Standards Topic 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (IAS 20). The Company accounts for grants from the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) under ASC Topic 958, Not-for-Profit Entities (ASC 958).

Under IAS 20, grants related to assets are presented in the consolidated balance sheets either by recognizing the grant as deferred income (which is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset), or by deducting the grant in calculating the carrying amount of the asset (which is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the depreciable asset as a reduced depreciation expense). Both methods are acceptable under IAS 20. The Company has elected to record grants related to assets as a deduction in calculating the carrying value of the asset.

Under IAS 20, grants related to income are presented as part of the consolidated statements of operations, either separately or under a general heading. Both methods are acceptable under IAS 20. The Company has elected to record grants related to income separately on the consolidated statements of operations as grant revenue. The related expenses are recorded within operating expenses.

Under ASC 958, grants related to income are presented as part of the consolidated statements of operations, either separately or under a general heading. Both methods are acceptable under ASC 958. The Company has elected to record grants related to income separately on the consolidated statements of operations as grant revenue. The related expenses are recorded within operating expenses.

RADx Grant

On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a contract with RADx (the RADx Grant), which had a total award value of $18.2 million and accelerated the continued development, scale-up, and deployment of the novel SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection test using the Company’s Simoa technology. The RADx Grant provided funding to expand assay kit manufacturing capacity and commercial deployment readiness. Release of the $18.2 million of funding under the RADx Grant was based on the achievement of certain milestones. Contract funding was subject to achievement of these pre-defined milestones and the contract period ran through September 2021, with one milestone extending to May 31, 2022. The Company has received the full $18.2 million under the RADx Grant and the Company has no future obligations under the RADx Grant.

During both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized no grant revenue and incurred no research and development expense related to the RADx Grant.

The RADx Grant contains both monetary amounts granted related to assets and monetary amounts granted related to income, which are grants other than those related to assets. The grants related to assets are for the expansion and increase of manufacturing capacity. The grants related to income are for additional research and development, as well as other non-asset related scale up costs.

ADDF

On March 24, 2022, the Company entered into a contract with the ADDF (the ADDF Grant). ADDF is a charitable venture philanthropy entity that has granted the Company funding in support of certain activities for the development of an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test for early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The ADDF Grant, which has a total funding value of $2.3 million, restricts the Company’s use of the granted funds to be used solely for activities related to the Alzheimer’s diagnostic test development project. Contract funding is subject to achievement of pre-defined milestones and the contract period runs through June 2024. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the related services are performed. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had received the total funding value of $2.3 million under the ADDF Grant, after receiving the second payment in the amount of $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2023 upon submission of satisfactory scientific and financial progress reports to ADDF. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1.7 million and $0.7 million of deferred revenue related to the ADDF Grant, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, grant revenue recognized and research and development expense incurred related to the ADDF Grant were immaterial. No such activities occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

NIH Grant

On September 21, 2022, the Company entered into a contract with National Institutes of Health (NIH) (the NIH Grant) with a total award value of $1.7 million. NIH is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH has granted the Company funding in support of the development of certain point-of-care diagnostic technologies through collaborative efforts. Grant funding is to be used solely for activities related to the point-of-care diagnostic device development project and the contract period runs through August 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $0.2 million of revenue and incurred $0.1 million of expense related to NIH Grant. There was no revenue recognized or expense incurred related to the NIH Grant for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

- Definition

The entire disclosure of revenue from contract with customer to transfer good or service and to transfer nonfinancial asset. Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer. Excludes insurance and lease contracts.

Goodwill

12. Goodwill

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified certain indicators of impairment, including the significant decline in the Company’s stock price, actions taken under the Restructuring Plan (as defined in Note 15) and the reduction of forecasted sales and profitability. As a result, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test. It was determined that the Company’s goodwill was impaired as the carrying amount of the Company’s sole reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value. The Company concluded that the entire goodwill balance was impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge during the third quarter of 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, no impairment expenses were recognized for goodwill. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no remaining goodwill balance on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has entered into certain licenses with other companies for use of the Company’s technology. These licenses have royalty components which the Company earns and recognizes as collaboration and license revenue throughout the year.

Abbott Laboratories

On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Non-Exclusive License Agreement (the Abbott License Agreement) with Abbott Laboratories (Abbott). Under the terms of the Abbott License Agreement, the Company granted Abbott a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, without the right to sublicense, under the Company’s bead-based single molecule detection patents (Licensed Patents) in the field of in vitro diagnostics. Abbott agreed to pay the Company an initial license fee of $10.0 million in connection with the execution of the Abbott License Agreement, which was recognized as license revenue during the 2020 fiscal year. Abbott has also agreed to pay the Company milestone fees subject to the achievement by Abbott of certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones and low single-digit royalties on net sales of licensed products.

The Abbott License Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations for a transaction of this nature. The Abbott License Agreement became effective upon signing and will continue until expiration of the last-to-expire Licensed Patent, or the agreement is earlier terminated. Under the terms of the Abbott License Agreement, the Company and Abbott each have the right to terminate the agreement for uncured material breach by, or insolvency of, the other party. Abbott may also terminate the Abbott License Agreement at any time without cause upon 60 days’ notice.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any revenue under the Abbott License Agreement.

The Company purchases substantial amounts of raw materials for manufacturing operations under annual and multi-year agreements, some of which have minimum quantity requirements. Additionally, the Company enters into annual agreements for other parts of its operations. The Company had total purchase commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of $2.7 million, most of which the Company expects to incur in the year ending December 31, 2023.

License Agreements

Tufts University

In June 2007, the Company entered into a license agreement (the License Agreement) for certain intellectual property with Tufts University (Tufts). The License Agreement, which was subsequently amended, is exclusive and sub-licensable, and will continue in effect on a country by country basis as long as there is a valid claim of a licensed patent in a country. The Company is contractually obligated to pay license and maintenance fees, prior to commercialization, in addition to low single digit royalties on direct sales and services and a royalty on sublicense income. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded royalty expense of $0.4 million related to the License Agreement. This royalty expense is recorded in cost of product revenue on the consolidated statements of operations.

Legal contingencies

The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business; however, the Company is not currently a party to any pending or threatened litigation the outcome of which would be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

1. Organization and operations

Quanterix Corporation (Nasdaq: QTRX) (the Company) is a life sciences company that has developed next generation, ultra-sensitive digital immunoassay platforms that advance precision health for life sciences research and diagnostics. The Company’s platforms are based on its proprietary digital “Simoa” detection technology. The Company’s Simoa bead-based and planar array platforms enable customers to reliably detect protein biomarkers in extremely low concentrations in blood, serum and other fluids that, in many cases, are undetectable using conventional, analog immunoassay technologies, and also allow researchers to define and validate the function of novel protein biomarkers that are only present in very low concentrations. The Company is currently focusing on protein detection, but the Company’s Simoa platforms have also demonstrated applicability across other testing applications, including detection of nucleic acids and small molecules.

The Company launched its first immunoassay platform, the Simoa HD-1, in 2014. The HD-1 is a fully automated immunoassay bead-based platform with multiplexing and custom assay capability, and related assay test kits and consumable materials. The Company launched a second bead-based immunoassay platform (SR-X) in 2017 with a more compact footprint than the Simoa HD-1 and less automation designed for lower volume requirements while still allowing multiplexing and custom assay capability. In 2019, the Company launched its third instrument (SP-X) on the new Simoa planar array platform and the Simoa HD-X, an upgraded version of the Simoa HD-1 replacing the HD-1. The HD-X has been designed to deliver productivity and operational efficiency improvements, as well as greater user flexibility. The Company also performs research services on behalf of customers to apply the Simoa technology to specific customer needs. The Company's customers are primarily in the research use only market, which includes academic and governmental research institutions, the research and development laboratories of pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract research organizations, and specialty research laboratories.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary UmanDiagnostics AB (Uman), a Swedish company located in Umeå, Sweden, supplies neurofilament light (Nf-L) antibodies and ELISA kits, which are used by researchers and biopharmaceutical and diagnostics companies world-wide in the detection of Nf-L to advance the development of therapeutics and diagnostics for neurodegenerative conditions.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for each period presented and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10 Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Item 8 of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in accounting estimates may occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the

extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.
