continued importance of key performers and the services of Vincent

rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented nature of the markets
in which we operate and greater financial resources or marketplace
presence of many of our competitors; uncertainties associated with
international markets; our difficulty or inability to promote and
conduct our live events and/or other businesses if we do not comply
with applicable regulations; our dependence on our intellectual
property rights, our need to protect those rights, and the risks of
our infringement of others’ intellectual property rights; the

our liquidity and historical and projected cash flow, strategic
plan (including alternative uses of capital), our financial results
and condition, contractual and legal restrictions on the payment of
