The Company was inactive from January 26, 2005 until its merger with Twistbox Entertainment, Inc., February 12, 2008 (Note 6).  On September 14, 2007, the Company was re-incorporated in the state of Delaware as Mandalay Media Inc.

On November 7, 2007, Mediavest merged into its wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary, Mandalay, with Mandalay as the surviving corporation. Mandalay issued: (1) one new share of common stock in exchange for each share of Mediavest’s outstanding common stock and (2) one new share of preferred stock in exchange for each share of Mediavest’s outstanding preferred stock as of November 7, 2007. Mandalay’s preferred and common stock had the same status and par value as the respective stock of Mediavest and Mandalay acceded to all the rights, acquired all the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Mediavest.

On February 12, 2008, the Company completed a merger (the “Merger”) with Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”) through an exchange of all outstanding capital stock of Twistbox for 10,180 shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed all the outstanding options under Twistbox’s Stock Incentive Plan by the issuance of options to purchase 2,463 shares of common stock of the Company, including 2,145 vested and 319 unvested options.

After the Merger, Twistbox became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the company’s only active subsidiary at that time.  Twistbox Entertainment Inc. (formerly known as The WAAT Corporation) is incorporated in the State of Delaware.

Twistbox is considered the Predecessor entity and therefore, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are presented for two periods: Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the period preceding the February 12, 2008 transaction and the period succeeding that date, respectively. The Company refers to the operations of Mandalay Media, Inc.  and subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor periods.

Twistbox is a global publisher and distributor of branded entertainment content, including images, video, TV programming and games, for Third Generation (3G) mobile networks.  Twistbox publishes and distributes its content in a number of countries.  Since operations began in 2003, Twistbox has developed an intellectual property portfolio that includes mobile rights to global brands and content from leading film, television and lifestyle content publishing companies. Twistbox has built a proprietary mobile publishing platform that includes: tools that automate handset portability for the distribution of images and video; a mobile games development suite that automates the porting of mobile games and applications to multiple handsets; and a content standards and ratings system globally adopted by major wireless carriers to assist with the responsible deployment of age-verified content.  Twistbox has distribution agreements with many of the largest mobile operators in the world. Twistbox is headquartered in the Los Angeles area and has offices in Europe and South America that provide local sales and marketing support for both mobile operators and third party distribution in their respective regions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/T, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company believes are necessary for a fair statement of the Successor’s financial position as of December 31, 2008 and its results of operations for the three months and the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of that date, and the consolidated balance sheet presented as of March 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
 
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing material and software in the form of products (Image Galleries, Wallpapers, video, WAP Site access, Mobile TV) and mobile games. License arrangements with the end user can be on a perpetual or subscription basis.

A perpetual license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset on a perpetual basis. A subscription license gives an end user the right to use the product, image or game on the registered handset for a limited period of time, ranging from a few days to as long as one month.

The Company either markets and distributes its products directly to consumers, or distributes products through mobile telecommunications service providers (carriers), in which case the carrier markets the product, images or games to end users. License fees for perpetual and subscription licenses are usually billed upon download of the product, image or game by the end user. In the case of subscriber licenses, many subscriber agreements provide for automatic renewal until the subscriber opts-out, while others provide opt-in renewal. In either case, subsequent billings for subscription licenses are generally billed monthly. Twistbox applies the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, to all transactions.

Revenues are recognized from the Company’s products, images and games when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. For both perpetual and subscription licenses, management considers a signed license agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with a carrier and a “clickwrap” agreement to be evidence of an arrangement with an end user. For these licenses, the Company defines delivery as the download of the product, image or game by the end user.

The Company estimates revenues from carriers in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. Most carriers only provide detailed sales transaction data on a one to two month lag. Estimated revenue is treated as unbilled receivables until the detailed reporting is received and the revenues can be billed. Some carriers provide reliable interim preliminary reporting and others report sales data within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, both of which allow the Company to make reasonable estimates of revenues and therefore to recognize revenues during the reporting period when the end user licenses the product, image or game. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable, but it is possible that actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’s estimates for revenues include consideration of factors such as preliminary sales data, carrier-specific historical sales trends, volume of activity on company monitored sites, seasonality, time elapsed from launch of services or product lines, the age of games and the expected impact of newly launched games, successful introduction of new handsets, growth of 3G subscribers by carrier, promotions during the period and economic trends. When the Company receives the final carrier reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Company records any differences between estimated revenues and actual revenues in the reporting period when the Company determines the actual amounts. Revenues earned from certain carriers may not be reasonably estimated. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenues to be recognized in the current period, the Company recognizes revenues upon the receipt of a carrier revenue report and when the Company’s portion of licensed revenues are fixed or determinable and collection is probable. To monitor the reliability of the Company’s estimates, management, where possible, reviews the revenues by country by carrier and by product line on a regular basis to identify unusual trends such as differential adoption rates by carriers or the introduction of new handsets. If the Company deems a carrier not to be creditworthy, the Company defers all revenues from the arrangement until the Company receives payment and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes as revenues the amount the carrier reports as payable upon the sale of the Company’s products, images or games. The Company has evaluated its carrier agreements and has determined that it is not the principal when selling its products, images or games through carriers. Key indicators that it evaluated to reach this determination include:
 
wireless subscribers directly contract with the carriers, which have most of the service interaction and are generally viewed as the primary obligor by the subscribers;
 
carriers generally have significant control over the types of content that they offer to their subscribers;
 
carriers are directly responsible for billing and collecting fees from their subscribers, including the resolution of billing disputes;
 
carriers generally pay the Company a fixed percentage of their revenues or a fixed fee for each game;
 
carriers generally must approve the price of the Company’s content in advance of their sale to subscribers, and the Company’s more significant carriers generally have the ability to set the ultimate price charged to their subscribers; and
 
The Company has limited risks, including no inventory risk and limited credit risk

For direct to consumer business, revenue is earned by delivering a product or service directly to the end user of that product or service. In those cases the Company records as revenue the amount billed to that end user and recognizes the revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product, image or game has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares from stock options and warrants and the conversion of the Series A preferred stock for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consisted of 1,630 and 2,690 shares, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 consisted of 1,986 and 1,947 shares, respectively, and were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they were anti-dilutive in each period.

Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) consists of two components, net income/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss). Other comprehensive income/(loss) refers to gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income/(loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income/(loss) currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive loss for the successor for nine and three months ended December 31, 2008 was $8,653 and $2,159, respectively. Total comprehensive loss for the predecessor for the nine and the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $7,770 and $1,315, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Content Provider Licenses

Content Provider License Fees and Minimum Guarantees
The Company’s royalty expenses consist of fees that it pays to branded content owners for the use of their intellectual property in the development of the Company’s games and other content, and other expenses directly incurred in earning revenue. Royalty-based obligations are either accrued as incurred and subsequently paid, or in the case of longer term content acquisitions, paid in advance and capitalized on the balance sheet as prepaid royalties. These royalty-based obligations are expensed to cost of revenues either at the applicable contractual rate related to that revenue or over the estimated life of the prepaid royalties. Advanced license payments that are not recoupable against future royalties are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the branded title or the term of the license agreement.

The Company’s contracts with some licensors include minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which are payable regardless of the ultimate volume of sales to end users. Each quarter, the Company evaluates the realization of its royalties as well as any unrecognized guarantees not yet paid to determine amounts that it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. The Company uses estimates of revenues, and share of the relevant licensor to evaluate the future realization of future royalties and guarantees. This evaluation considers multiple factors, including the term of the agreement, forecasted demand, product life cycle status, product development plans, and current and anticipated sales levels, as well as other qualitative factors. To the extent that this evaluation indicates that the remaining future guaranteed royalty payments are not recoverable, the Company records an impairment charge to cost of revenues and a liability in the period that impairment is indicated.

Content Acquired
Amounts paid to third party content providers as part of an agreement to make content available to the Company for a term or in perpetuity, without a revenue share, have been capitalized and are included in the balance sheet as prepaid expenses.  These balances will be expensed over the estimated life of the material acquired.

Software Development Costs
The Company applies the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“SFAS No. 86”). SFAS No. 86 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product.

The Company has adopted the “tested working model” approach to establishing technological feasibility for its products and games. Under this approach, the Company does not consider a product or game in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the product or game that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final game and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs between the establishment of technological feasibility and the release of a product or game for sale; thus, the Company has expensed all software development costs as incurred. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile market; the gradual evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and mobile phones for which it develops products and games; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its products and games; the uncertainty regarding a product’s or game’s revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a product or game will be available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling products and games at any stage of the development process.

Product Development Costs
The Company charges costs related to research, design and development of products to product development expense as incurred. The types of costs included in product development expenses include salaries, contractor fees and allocated facilities costs.

Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising, including direct response advertising, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense for the Successor was $2,487 and $0 in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $3,060 and $0 in the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Advertising expense for the Predecessor was $202 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and $278 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.
 
Restructuring
The Company accounts for costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company records employee termination benefits as an operating expense when it communicates the benefit arrangement to the employee and it requires no significant future services, other than a minimum retention period, from the employee to earn the termination benefits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity. Based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding approximates their fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation.
The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using current rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred.  Statement of Operations amounts are translated at average rates in effect for the reporting period. The foreign currency translation adjustment (loss) for the Successor was $395 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and $279 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.  The foreign currency translation adjustment (loss) for the Predecessor was $9 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and $108 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.  The foreign currency translation adjustment (loss) has been reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of stockholders equity and comprehensive loss.  Translation gains or losses are shown as a separate component of retained earnings.

Concentrations of Credit Risk.
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We have placed cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with a single high credit-quality institution. As of December 31, 2008, we did not have any long-term marketable securities. The Company’s sales are made either directly to consumers, with the billings performed by and the receivable due from industry aggregators; or directly to the large national Mobile Phone Operators in the countries that we operate. We have a significant level of business and resulting significant accounts receivable balance with one operator and therefore have a high concentration of credit risk with that operator. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential credit losses. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 20% of our gross accounts receivable outstanding was with one major customer. This customer accounted for 13% of our gross sales in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 7% in the nine months ended December 31, 2008.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are 8 to 10 years for leasehold improvements and 5 years for other assets.

Goodwill
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), the Company’s goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles
Long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from three to ten years and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under SFAS No. 109, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities along with net operating losses, if it is more likely than not the tax benefits will be realized using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse.  To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot be recognized, a valuation allowance is established if necessary.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2008. FIN 48 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold should be measured as the largest amount of the tax benefits, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of the provision for income taxes. We do not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next 12 months.

Stock-based compensation.
We have applied SFAS No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”) and accordingly, we record stock-based compensation expense for all of our stock-based awards.

Under FAS 123R, we estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense recognized represents the expense associated with the stock options we expect to ultimately vest based upon an estimated rate of forfeitures; this rate of forfeitures is updated as necessary and any adjustments needed to recognize the fair value of options that actually vest or are forfeited are recorded.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model, used to estimate the fair value of an award, requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock and an option’s expected life. As a result, the financial statements include amounts that are based upon our best estimates and judgments relating to the expenses recognized for stock-based compensation.

Preferred Stock

The Company applies the guidance enumerated in SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” and EITF Topic D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 150. The Company does not have any preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the classification and measurement principles of EITF Topic D-98. Accordingly, the Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to revenues for periods not yet reported by Carriers, liabilities recorded for future minimum guarantee payments under content licenses, accounts receivable allowances, stock-based compensation expense, the application of purchase accounting, the carrying value and recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill, amortizable intangibles, the realizability of deferred tax assets, and the fair value of equity instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.”  This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB No. 133,” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 161 also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying under SFAS 133. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for periods prior to its initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”.  FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Liquidity
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  One of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, Twistbox, has sustained substantial operating losses since commencement of operations.  In addition, the Company has incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and the majority of the Company’s assets are intangible assets and goodwill.
 
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which is in turn dependent on the Company reaching a positive cash flow position or obtaining additional financing, while maintaining adequate liquidity.
 
Management believes that actions undertaken to achieve this position provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. These actions include the acquisition consummated in the current quarter along with a restructuring as part of the integration, and debt restructuring and equity placements which occurred in the current quarter. In addition, the Company has taken action subsequent to the period end to reduce its ongoing operating cost base. Other actions include continued increases in revenues by introducing new products and revenue streams, continued expansion into new territories, reviewing additional financing options, and accretive acquisitions.
