Grand Theft Auto products contributed [removed: 38.2%] [added: 39.7%] of the Company's net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] and the five best-selling franchises (including Grand Theft Auto), which may change year over year, in the aggregate accounted for [removed: 89.8%] [added: 90.6%] of the Company's net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
We derive most of our revenue from the sale of products made for video game platforms manufactured by third parties, such as Sony's PS4 and [removed: PS3 and] [added: PS3,] Microsoft's Xbox One and Xbox 360, [added: and the Nintendo Switch,] which comprised [removed: 81.0%] [added: 81.6%] of the Company's net revenue by product platform for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
We rely upon third-party digital delivery platforms, such as Microsoft's Xbox Live, [removed: Sony Entertainment] [added: PlayStation] Network, Steam and other third-party service providers, to provide connectivity from the consumer to our digital products and our online services.
[removed: Failure to comply with privacy laws,] data protection laws, or age restrictions may increase our costs, subject us to expensive and distracting government investigations, and result in substantial fines.
For example, the Court of Justice of the European Union's [removed: recent] decision to invalidate the E.U.-U.S. Safe Harbor regime that legitimized the transfer of certain personal data from the E.U. to the U.S. was a material change to laws on data privacy applicable to our business.
GDPR will become effective [removed: in] [added: on] May [added: 25,] 2018, and will replace the existing Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC.
The U.S. government, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce, also continue to review the need for greater or different regulation over the collection of personal information and information about consumer behavior on the Internet and on mobile [removed: devices.Various government and consumer agencies worldwide have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices.][added: devices.]
[added: Changes] in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding these activities may lessen the growth of the interactive entertainment industry and impair our business, financial condition, and operating results.
For example, we may offer games that do not attract sufficient purchases of virtual currency, which may cause our investments into this product space, such as through our [removed: recent] acquisition of Social Point, to fail to realize the expected benefits.
[removed: We] [added: Accordingly, we] are subject to [removed: income taxes] [added: tax] in the U.S. and in various other jurisdictions.
Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes, [removed: and] [added: and,] in the ordinary course of [removed: business] [added: business,] there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.
Although we currently believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the [removed: estimate] [added: estimation] process is inherently uncertain, and such estimates are not binding on tax authorities.
Additionally, tax determinations are regularly subject to audit by tax [removed: authorities] [added: authorities,] and developments in those audits could adversely affect our income tax provision.
Should the ultimate tax liability exceed estimates, our income tax provision and net income or loss could be [removed: adversely] [added: materially] affected.
We expect to provide a valuation allowance on future U.S. tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability or until other significant positive evidence arises that [removed: suggest] [added: suggests] that these benefits are more likely than not to be realized.
There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations, changes in our business or changes in applicable tax [removed: rules] [added: law or interpretations] will not have an adverse effect on our net income or loss and financial condition.
[removed: Although management believes that the positions] we have taken are reasonable, various taxing authorities may challenge certain of the positions we have taken, which may also potentially result in additional liabilities for unclaimed property and interest in excess of accrued liabilities.
Sales to our five largest customers during the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] accounted for [removed: 65.5%] [added: 70.7%] of our net revenue, with Sony and Microsoft each accounting for more than 10.0% of our net revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
[removed: Retailers] [added: While digital sales are increasingly important to our business, for physical sales, retailers] have limited shelf space and promotional resources and competition is intense among newly introduced interactive entertainment software titles for adequate levels of shelf space and promotional support.
Future sales of our titles may not be sufficient to recover development payments and advances to software developers and licensors, and we may not have [removed: adequate financial and other resources to satisfy our contractual commitments to such developers.]
We are required to obtain licenses from [added: certain of our competitors, including] Sony and Microsoft, [removed: which are also our competitors,] to develop and publish titles for their respective hardware platforms.
[removed: If we underestimate] the amount of server capacity our business requires or if our business were to grow more quickly than expected, our consumers may experience service problems, such as slow or interrupted gaming access.
[removed: We may] be subject to lawsuits, governmental regulation or restrictions, and consumer backlash (including decreased sales and harmed reputation), as a result of consumers posting offensive content.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017, 43.9%] [added: 2018, 41.3%] of our net revenue was earned outside the United States.
As a result, [removed: it is expected that] the British government [removed: will begin] [added: has begun] negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the E.U. The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the U.K. makes to retain access to the E.U. markets either during a transitional period or more permanently.
In addition, we believe that interactive entertainment software will increasingly become the subject of claims that such software infringes on the intellectual property [added: rights of others with both the growth of online functionality and advances in technology, game content and software graphics as games become more realistic.]
| • | the possibility that significant acquisitions, when not managed cautiously, may result in the over-extension of our existing operating infrastructures, internal controls and information technology [removed: systems.] [added: systems;] |
Future acquisitions and investments could also involve the issuance of our equity and equity-linked securities (potentially diluting our existing stockholders), the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, write-offs of goodwill, intangibles, [added: or acquired in-process technology, or other increased cash and non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation.]
If we are unable to maintain [added: and renew] these licenses or obtain additional licenses on reasonable economic terms or with significant commercial value, our revenue and profitability could decline significantly.
We expect that an increasing number of our games will be [added: supported with material post-release activities, such as content updates and] online-enabled [removed: in the future] [added: features,] and [removed: that] we could [added: therefore] be required to recognize [added: more of] the related revenues [added: for those games] over a period of time rather than at the time of sale.
[added: Further, as we increase our downloadable content and] add new features to our online services, [added: user playing patterns can affect] our estimate of the service period may change and we could be required to recognize revenues, and defer related costs, over a shorter or longer period of time than we initially allocated.
The share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, which authorized the repurchase of up to [removed: 14,217,683] [added: 14.2 million] shares of our common stock and had [removed: 9,046,353] [added: 5.9 million] shares available for repurchase as of [removed: March 31, 2017,] [added: the date of this filing,] does not obligate the Company to make any purchases at any specific time or situation.
The ability of our Board of Directors to create and issue a new series of preferred stock and certain provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws [removed: and the indenture governing our notes] could impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which, under certain circumstances, could reduce the market price of our common stock and the value of any outstanding notes.
Our inability to fully utilize [removed: our] [added: any] net operating losses [added: or tax credit carryforwards] to reduce tax liability in the future could have a material and negative affect on our future financial position and results of operations.
We may experience declines or fluctuations in the recurring portion of our business.
Our business model includes revenue that we deem recurring in nature, such as revenue from our annualized titles and associated services, and ongoing mobile businesses.
While we have been able to forecast the revenue from these areas of our business with greater certainty than for new offerings, we cannot provide assurances that consumers will purchase these games and services on a consistent basis.
Furthermore, we may cease to offer games and services that we previously had deemed to be recurring in nature.
Consumer purchases of our games and services may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including their level of satisfaction with our games and services, our ability to improve and innovate our annualized titles, our ability to adapt our games and services to new platforms, outages and disruptions of online services, the games and services offered by our competitors, our marketing and advertising efforts or declines in consumer activity generally as a result of economic downturns, among others.
Any decline or fluctuation in the recurring portion of our business may have a negative impact on our financial and operating results.
Failure to comply with privacy laws,
Various government and consumer agencies worldwide have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices.
Although we have structured and operate our skill tournaments with applicable laws in mind, including any applicable laws relating to gambling, and believe that playing these games does not constitute gambling, our skill tournaments could in the future become subject to gambling-related rules and regulations and expose us to civil and criminal penalties.
We also sometimes offer consumers of our online and casual games various types of contests and promotional opportunities.
We are subject to laws in a number of jurisdictions concerning the operation and offering of such activities and games, many of which are still evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business.
Further, some of our online games and other services include random digital item mechanics, which may become subject to regulations in various jurisdictions.
If these were to occur, we might be required to seek licenses, authorizations, or approvals from relevant regulators, the granting of which may be dependent on us meeting certain capital and other requirements, and we may be subject to additional regulation and oversight, such as reporting to regulators, all of which could significantly increase our operating costs.
Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States, Europe, or elsewhere regarding these activities may lessen the growth of casual game services and impair our business.
Successful exploitation of our systems can have other negative effects upon the products, services and user experience we offer.
In particular, the virtual economies that we have established in many of our games are subject to abuse, exploitation and other forms of fraudulent activity that can negatively affect our business.
Virtual economies involve the use of virtual currency and/or virtual assets that can be used or redeemed by a player within a particular game or service.
The abuse or exploitation of our virtual economies include the illegitimate generation and sale of virtual items in black markets.
These kinds of activities and the steps that we take to address these issues may result in a loss of anticipated revenue, interfere with players’ enjoyment of a balanced game environment and cause reputational harm.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (herein referred to as the "Act”).
The Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that could materially affect us.
The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018 and requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on the previously untaxed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries.
In addition, the Act makes other changes that may affect us, beginning April 1, 2018.
These changes include but are not limited to (1) a Base Erosion Anti-abuse Tax (BEAT), which is a new minimum tax, (2) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, (3) a new provision that taxes global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), (4) the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction, and (5) other base broadening provisions.
We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the Act on our tax provision.
It is possible that these changes could have an adverse impact on our effective tax rate, tax payments, financial condition, or results of operations.
The new tax law is complex and additional interpretative guidance may be issued that could affect interpretations and assumptions we have made, as well as actions we may take as a result of the Act.
In addition, numerous countries are evaluating their existing tax laws due in part to recommendations made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD’s”) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project.
Although we cannot predict whether, or in what form, any legislation based on such proposals may be adopted by the countries in which we do business, future tax reform based on such proposals may increase the amount of taxes we pay and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
We are a multinational corporation with operations in the U.S. and various other jurisdictions around the world.
We earn a significant amount of our operating income and continue to hold a significant portion of our cash outside the U.S. We are reviewing whether the Act will affect our existing intention to reinvest indefinitely earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.
The Act imposes a one-time transition tax on the previously untaxed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and other significant changes that affect how U.S. companies are taxed on foreign earnings.
These changes may result in higher effective tax rates for us.
Although management believes that the positions

In addition, "cheating" programs or other unauthorized software tools and modifications that enable consumers to cheat in games harm the experience of players who play fairly and could negatively impact the volume of microtransactions or purchases of downloadable content.
Also, vulnerabilities in the design of our applications and of the platforms upon which they
run could be discovered after their release.
Changes
Further, our tax determinations are regularly subject to audit by tax authorities and developments in those audits could adversely affect our income tax provision.
Should our ultimate tax liability exceed our estimates, our income tax provision and net income or loss could be materially affected.
We earn a significant amount of our operating income and hold a significant portion of our cash, outside the U.S. Any repatriation of funds currently held in foreign jurisdictions may result in higher effective tax rates for the Company.
In addition, there have been proposals to change U.S. tax laws that would significantly affect how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings.
Although we cannot predict whether or in what form this proposed legislation will pass, if enacted it could have a material adverse impact on our income tax provision and financial condition.

or acquired in-process technology, or other increased cash and non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation.
Further, as we increase our downloadable content and
In addition, we may under certain circumstances involving a change of control, be obligated to repurchase all or a portion of our 1.00% Convertible Notes and any potential acquirer would be required to assume our obligations related to any outstanding 1.00% Convertible Notes.
We or any possible acquirer may not have available financial resources necessary to repurchase those notes.

We derive most of our revenue from the sale of products made for video game consoles manufactured by third-parties, such as Sony's PS4 and [removed: PS3 and] [added: PS3,] Microsoft's Xbox One and Xbox 360, [added: and the Nintendo Switch,] which comprised [removed: 81.0%] [added: 81.6%] of our net revenue by product platform for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]

Fiscal [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] Financial Summary
Our net revenue for fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] was led by titles from a variety of our top franchises, primarily Grand Theft Auto, NBA [removed: 2K] [added: 2K,] and WWE 2K.
Our net revenue increased to [removed: $1,779.7] [added: $1,792.9] million, an increase of [removed: $366.1] [added: $13.1] million or [removed: 25.9%] [added: 0.7%] compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2016.][added: 2017.]
For the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] our net income was [removed: $67.3] [added: $173.5] million, as compared to a net [removed: loss] [added: income] of [removed: $8.3] [added: $67.3] million in the prior year.
Diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] was [removed: $0.72,] [added: $1.54,] as compared to [removed: a loss per share of $0.10] [added: $0.72] for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2016.][added: 2017.]

On December 14, 2017, we announced the formation of Private Division, our new label that is dedicated to bringing titles from top independent developers to market.
Private Division will publish several upcoming titles based on new IP from renowned industry creative talent, including the previously announced Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey from Panache Digital Game, a studio led by the creator of the Assassin's Creed franchise Patrice Désilets; an unannounced role-playing game ("RPG") currently code-named Project Wight from The Outsiders, a studio formed by ex-DICE developers David Goldfarb and Ben Cousins; an unannounced RPG from Obsidian Entertainment led by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, co-creators of Fallout; and an
unannounced sci-fi first-person shooter from V1 Interactive, a studio founded by Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto.
Additionally, Private Division is the publisher of Kerbal Space Program, which we acquired in May 2017.
Social Point develops and publishes popular free-to-play mobile games that deliver high quality, deeply-engaging entertainment experiences, including its two most successful games, Dragon City and Monster Legends.

This increase was due primarily to an increase of $159.4 million in revenues from our NBA 2K franchise, partially offset by a decrease of $134.9 million in net revenue from Mafia III, which released in October 2016.
Net revenue from our Grand Theft Auto franchise increased $32.0 million as compared to the prior year.
This increase was due primarily to an increase of $114.9 million in net revenue from Grand Theft Auto Online, partially offset by a decrease of $78.0 million from Grand Theft Auto V.
The increase in net revenue from console games was due primarily to higher net revenue from our NBA 2K franchise, partially offset by lower net revenues from Mafia III, which released in October 2016.
The increase in recurrent consumer spending was due primarily to higher virtual currency net revenue from Grand Theft Auto Online, our NBA 2K franchise, and Social Point titles with only two months of net revenue in the prior year as it was acquired in January 2017.
The percentage increase was due primarily to lower software development costs as a percentage of net revenue due to Mafia III and Civilization VI releasing in the prior year, as well as lower product costs as a percentage of net revenue due to the decrease in net revenue from physical retail sales.
The increase was offset by higher internal royalties as a percentage of net revenue due to the timing of when royalties are earned and to a lesser extent higher stock-based compensation costs as a percentage of net revenue.
The decrease in net revenue was due primarily to a decrease in net revenue from Mafia III, partially offset by higher net revenues from our NBA 2K franchise.

In May 2016, 2K launched Battleborn, a new brand created by Gearbox Software, the makers of Borderlands.
On January 31, 2017, Take-Two acquired privately-held Social Point (refer to Note 23 of our Consolidated Financial Statements).
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, Social Point is a highly-successful free-to-play mobile game developer and publisher that focuses on delivering high-quality, deeply-engaging entertainment experiences.
Social Point currently has multiple profitable titles in the market, including its two most successful games, Dragon City and Monster Legends.
Social Point’s games currently are available in North America, Latin America and EMEA, and approximately 50% of its revenue is derived from the United States.
In 2016, over 90% of its revenue was generated from mobile platforms.

Our operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 increased compared to the operating loss for fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to higher gross profit from sales of our titles and the business reorganization charges incurred in 2016 not recurring in 2017, offset by higher operating expenses, primarily as a result of an increase in selling and marketing expense.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared.
On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results and they require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The effect and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.
For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue on the sales of software products upon the transfer of title and risk of loss to our customers.
Accordingly, we recognize revenue for software titles when there is (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement with the customer exists, (2) the product is delivered, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection of the customer receivable is deemed probable.
Certain products are sold to customers with a street date (i.e., the earliest date these products may be sold by retailers).
For these products we recognize revenue on the later of the street date or the sale date.
In addition, some of our software products are sold as full game digital downloads and digital add-on content for which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee.
Revenue from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available to the end user (assuming all other recognition criteria are met).
In providing credit terms to our customers, our payment arrangements typically provide net 30 and 60 day terms.
Advances received for licensing and exclusivity arrangements are reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred revenue until we meet our performance obligations, at which point we recognize the revenue.
For some of our software products, we enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which we may provide a combination of full game software, online multi-player functionality, and related post-contract customer support ("PCS") which generally includes additional free unspecified add-on content updates, maintenance, and online support services.
For these arrangements, we evaluate the significance of the PCS at the time each game is released based on the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 985-605, "Software—Revenue Recognition" ("ASC 985-605") to determine if the PCS rises to the level of a separate deliverable.
We monitor our initial assessments on an ongoing basis and consider any changes that may arise.
In conjunction with our evaluation, we consider such factors as the significance of the development effort, the nature of online features, the extent of anticipated marketing focus on online features, the significance of the online features to the consumers' anticipated overall gameplay experience, and the significance and length of time of our post sale obligations to consumers.
Determining whether PCS is significant for a particular game is subjective and requires management's judgment.
When a software arrangement includes multiple elements, the arrangement consideration is allocated to each revenue element based on its relative fair value, based on the vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value for each element.
When VSOE of fair value does not exist for all of the elements in the arrangement, ASC 985-605 requires either the use of the residual method or the deferral of revenue until the earlier point at which VSOE of fair value exists for any undelivered element or until only one undelivered element remains.
For arrangements that require the deferral of revenue, the related cost of goods sold is deferred and recognized as the related net revenue is recognized.
Deferred cost of goods sold includes product costs and licenses.
We do not have VSOE for our PCS obligations and in those arrangements where PCS obligations have been determined to be significant we recognize revenue from the sale of software products and the related cost of goods sold ratably over the period we expect to offer the PCS to the consumer ("estimated service period"), assuming all other recognition criteria are met.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, at March 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, and [removed: (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.]
Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
There were no [removed: other] changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In accordance with SEC guidance, our management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Social Point, which is included in the March 31, 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and constituted nine percent of consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2017.
On January 31, 2017, we acquired Social Point.
Our management has elected to exclude Social Point from its March 31, 2017 assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently in the process of incorporating the internal controls and procedures of Social Point into the internal control over financial reporting for our assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting for March 31, 2018.

We intend to early adopt this ASU for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2017 and believe that the evaluation
of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or dispositions) of assets or businesses will be simplified under the new standard.
Early adoption is permitted.
We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.
This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (April 1, 2017 for the Company) and interim periods within those annual periods.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company will apply a modified retrospective transition method to account for the changes under the standard related to income taxes and the policy election for recording forfeitures as they occur.
The FASB recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarifications on disclosure of prior-period performance obligations and remaining performance obligations.
The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method).
The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 (April 1, 2018 for the Company), with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (April 1, 2017 for the Company).
The Company will adopt the new standard effective April 1, 2018 using the cumulative catch-up method.
The VSOE requirement will be eliminated under the new standard.
Accordingly, we may be required to recognize as revenue a portion of the sales price upon delivery of the software, as compared to the current requirement of recognizing the entire sales price ratably over an estimated offering period.
