﻿ ﻿ Correction of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 The Company identified errors within its statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company inadvertently failed to remove the effects of a portion of unpaid purchases of property and equipment from the change in accounts payable and purchases of property and equipment in the preparation of the statements of cash flows. This error resulted in the understatement of net cash provided by operating activities of $1.2 million and a corresponding understatement of net cash used in investing activities of $1.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The prior period amounts within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 have been revised to reflect the correct balances.
