ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We have identified the following risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently
believe are not material may also significantly impair our business operations. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading
price of our Class A common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these
risks, you should also refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial
statements and related notes.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our business will suffer if we are unable to continue to develop successful games for mobile platforms, successfully monetize mobile games,
or successfully forecast mobile launches and/or monetization.
Our business depends on developing and publishing mobile games that consumers will download and spend time and money playing. We
have devoted and we expect to continue to devote substantial resources to the research, development, analytics and marketing of our mobile
games, however we cannot guarantee that we will continue to develop games that appeal to players or advertisers. We expect to launch several
games in 2015, including FarmVille: Harvest Swap, Empires and Allies , Dawn of Titans and Tiger Woods Golf . New games that we introduce
need to generate sufficient bookings and revenues to offset the associated development and marketing costs. We may encounter difficulty in
integrating features on games developed for mobile platforms that a sufficient number of players will pay for or otherwise sufficiently
monetizing mobile games. The success of our games depends, in part, on unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control including
consumer preferences, competing games, new mobile platforms and the availability of other entertainment experiences. If our games are not
launched on time or do not meet consumer expectations, or they are not brought to market in a timely and effective manner, our ability to grow
revenue and our financial performance will be negatively affected. For example, we recently experienced a delay in the introduction of Looney
Tunes Dash! which had a negative impact on our financial results for the fourth quarter of 2014.
