The amount of product provided to the sponsorships depends on many factors including general playing conditions, the number of sporting events in which they participate, and the Company’s decisions regarding product and marketing initiatives. In addition, the costs to design, develop, source, and purchase the products furnished to the endorsers are incurred over a period of time and are not necessarily tracked separately from similar costs incurred for products sold to customers. a.
