We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and amounts available to us under our new credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. After that time, the extent of additional financing needed, if any, will depend on the success of our business. If we significantly increase installations beyond planned levels or if coin-counting kiosk or DVD kiosk volumes generated are lower than historical levels, our cash needs may increase. Furthermore, our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including consumer use of our services, the timing and number of machine installations, the number of available installable machines, the type and scope of service enhancements and the cost of developing potential new product service offerings and enhancements and cash required to fund future acquisitions.
