We were very pleased with our third quarter results as we saw significant year-over-year growth in player engagement, revenue and adjusted EBITDA, combined with increased diversification of our revenue base.  However, within our Rapid-Launch business, new player downloads on the Google Play platform slowed, beginning midway through the third quarter, causing us to take a more cautious outlook toward our upcoming fourth quarter performance as more fully described in our Forward Guidance below."
