In your report to investors you used the phrase \"our growth\" . Revenue for the past 12 months that you're paying back investors on was $1.9m. This is a significant amount below anything presented in the offering. 2015 was $3.2m and Q3 2016 run rate at the time of the offering was $6.7m. Can you clarify the use of the phrase \"our growth\" as it is confusing to me in this context.
