Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on form 10-Q filed by Red Metal Resources Ltd. contains forward-looking statements. These are statements regarding financial and operating performance and results and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain important risks could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of these risks include, among other things:

  
general economic conditions, because they may affect our ability to raise money
  
our ability to raise enough money to continue our operations
  
changes in regulatory requirements that adversely affect our business
  
changes in the prices for minerals that adversely affect our business
  
political changes in Chile, which could affect our interests there
  
other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control

We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated to update these statements or publicly release the results of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should refer to, and carefully review, the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General
 
You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011. The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information may require us to make estimates and assumptions to enable us to fairly present, in all material respects, our analysis of trends and expectations with respect to our results of operations and financial position taken as a whole. Actual results may vary from the estimates and assumptions we make.

Overview

Red Metal is a mineral exploration company engaged in locating, and eventually developing, mineral resources in Chile. Our business strategy is to identify, acquire and explore prospective mineral claims with a view to either developing them ourselves or, more likely, finding a joint venture partner with the mining experience and financial means to undertake the development. All of our claims are in the Candelaria IOCG belt in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera.
 
We have no revenue-generating operations and are dependent upon the equity markets for our working capital. Despite the current market volatility, prices of copper and gold overall are moving in a positive direction and we are optimistic that we can raise equity capital under these market conditions. We completed an offering of 6,723,333 units on April 7, 2011 at $0.30 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock exercisable at $0.50 per share for two years. We realized net proceeds of $1,862,462 from this offering. On September 2, 2011 we adopted the Red Metal Resources Ltd. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and reserved 1,600,000 shares of our common stock for awards under the Plan. On the same day we issued options to purchase 1,040,000 shares of our common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants who provide services to Red Metal.  The options have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of 2 years.

Consistent with our historical practices, we continue to monitor our costs in Chile by reviewing our mineral claims to determine whether they possess the geological indicators to economically justify the capital to maintain or explore them. Currently, we have six employees in Chile and engage part time assistants during our exploration programs. Most of our support — such as, vehicles, office and equipment — is supplied under short-term contracts. The only long-term commitments that we have are for royalty payments on four of our mineral claims – Farellon, Che, Veta Negra and Este. These royalties are payable once exploitation begins. Two of the above claims – Veta Negra and Este – have option payments payable during the next three years under the option to purchase contracts.
 
In September of 2009 we conducted a drilling program on our Farellon property which proved that further drilling of the property is warranted. Micon International Limited, from whom we commissioned a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 technical report summarizing the drilling results, has recommended that we conduct a two-phase drilling program. On June 25, 2011 we started a first phase of the program which was concluded on August 29, 2011. The drill program consisted of 2,233 meters of combined RC and diamond drilling. This phase’s main purpose was to define the structural controls on the mineralization and assist in defining the depth and nature of the sulphide mineralization. The cost of this phase was approximately $775,000.

In June 2011 we also started initial exploration programs on the Mateo and Veta Negra properties, which included geophysics, surface mapping, sampling, high resolution ground magnetic survey, and a 1,000-metre RC drill program. As of date of this report we completed most of the planned activities. The cost of these activities was approximately $210,000.
 
On March 14, 2011, we entered into a joint venture earn-in agreement on the Perth property with Revonergy Inc. According to the agreement Revonergy Inc. can earn a 35% interest in the Perth property if it spends a minimum $1,450,000 on a three-phase exploration program; and can earn a further 15% interest if it completes a preliminary feasibility study within four years from the signing of the agreement.

The cost and timing of all planned exploration programs are subject to the availability of qualified mining personnel, such as consulting geologists and geo-technicians, and drillers and drilling equipment. If we are unable to find the personnel and equipment that we need when we need them and at the prices that we have estimated today, we might have to revise or postpone our plans.

During the quarters ended July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2011 we experienced substantially higher operating expenses mainly due to the drilling program on the Farellon property and exploration campaigns on other properties, including associated travel and geological consulting expenses, which we incurred between May and September 2011. During the quarter ended October 31, 2011, we granted 1,040,000 stock options to certain directors, employees, and consultants that resulted in a non-cash expense of $559,516, increasing our net loss.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses increased by $1,131,099, or 732%, from $154,436 for the three months ended October 31, 2010 to $1,285,535 for the three months ended October 31, 2011. 

On a year-to-date basis, our operating expenses increased by $1,884,086, or 401%, from $469,566 for the nine months ended October 31, 2010 to $2,353,652 for the nine months ended October 31, 2011.

The following are our most significant changes for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010:

  
We restructured our administrative operations, which resulted in savings of $22,200 for the three month period and $30,157 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2011, compared to the period ended October 31, 2010.
  
We started a drilling program on our Farellon property and increased exploration activities on our Mateo and Veta Negra properties, which resulted in an increase of $395,697, or 72,207%, for the three months, and $836,281, or 6,186%, for the nine months, in mineral exploration expenses, from $548 for the three months ended October 31, 2010 to $396,245 for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and from $13,519 for the nine months ended October 31, 2010 to $849,800 during the nine months ended October 31, 2011.
  
During the second quarter drilling campaign we hired four assistant geotechnicians and additional office staff to keep up with the increased workload. This resulted in an increase of $27,089, or 1,254%, and $51,108, or 1,613%, for the three and nine month periods in salary and wage expense, from $2,161 during the three months ended October 31, 2010 to $29,250 during the three months ended October 31, 2011 and from $3,168 during the nine months ended October 31, 2010 to $54,276 during the nine months ended October 31, 2011.
  
Our travel and entertainment expenses increased from $18,299 to $64,534, or 253%, for the three month period and from $47,007 to $148,304, or 215%, for the nine month period ended October 31, 2011. These increases were mainly associated with travel time incurred by consulting geologists during the drilling programs that were undertaken during the period. These travel expenditures were budgeted under the exploration campaign.
  
Due to higher accounting and financial advisory requirements we incurred $82,378 and $239,011 in consulting fees during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, an increase of $43,578, or 112%, and $131,216, or 122%,  respectively.
  
During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, we completed a private equity financing and prepared and filed a registration statement on form S-1, which resulted in an increase in our professional and legal fees of $50,569, or 70%, for the period, and an increase in regulatory fees of $11,686, or 98%.  During the three months ended October 31, 2011, our professional and legal fees decreased by $3,170 or 16% because we had no extraordinary transactions during the quarter.  However, during the three month period ended October 31, 2011 our regulatory fees increased by $7,728, or 1,818%, mainly due to  increased interactive data filing and regulatory requirements.
  
To continue with our operational plans and to raise awareness of the drilling programs we increased our advertising and promotion costs during the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2011 by $50,246, or 197%, and $93,723, or 113%, respectively.
  
During the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2011, we expensed $26,687 and $62,134, respectively, in interest on current debt.  This was an increase of $18,709, or 235%, during the three month period and an increase of $38,264, or 160%, during the nine month period.  This increase was associated with larger outstanding payables, mainly to related parties.
  
On September 2, 2011 we adopted the Red Metal Resources Ltd. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and granted 1,040,000 options to our officers, directors, and consultants. We recorded $559,516 in employee stock option expense associated with these grants.  We had no such expense during the three month and the nine month periods ended October 31, 2010.

Net loss. We had a net loss of $1,285,535 for the three months and of $2,353,652 for the nine months ended October 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $154,436 for the three months and $469,566 for the nine months ended October 31, 2010.  The increase in net loss during the periods was due to the expense associated with the drilling program on our Farellon property as well as the exploration programs on our Mateo and Veta Negra properties, which resulted in increased exploration, travel, automobile costs, and increased salaries and  wages; compensation in the form of employee stock option grants that we issued in September 2011; and an increase in our advertising and promotion activities in order to raise awareness of our exploration activities and seek additional external financing, which resulted in increased advertising costs as well as increased consulting, professional and regulatory fees.

Liquidity
 
going concern
 
The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not generated any significant revenues from mineral sales since inception, have never paid any dividends and are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow depends upon our ability to locate profitable mineral claims, generate revenue from mineral production and control our production costs. Based upon our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods, which we plan to mitigate by controlling our operating costs and sharing mineral exploration expenses through joint venture agreements when we are able to enter into them.  In April 2011 we completed a financing of units consisting of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.  We raised gross proceeds of $2,017,000, which we used to support our administrative overhead and fund our exploration campaigns on the Farellon, Mateo, and Veta Negra properties. We are continually reviewing potential properties to add to our portfolio and suitable acquisitions and  project development will require additional financing.  Until we earn enough revenue to support our operations, which may never happen, we will continue to be dependent on loans and sales of our equity or debt securities to continue our development and exploration activities.  If we do not find sources of financing as and when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations. At October 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $895,498 and accumulated losses of $5,410,471 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.
 
internal and external sources of liquidity
 
To date we have funded our operations by selling our securities and borrowing funds, and, to a minor extent, from mining royalties.

Net cash provided by financing activities. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, as part of the private offering completed on April 7, 2011, we issued 6,290,000 units at $0.30 per unit for cash proceeds of $1,828,099, net of $58,900 in commissions paid to agents. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and a two-year warrant exercisable for one share of our common stock at $0.50 per share.

We received $60,000 on exercise of a warrant for 200,000 shares at $0.30 per share. These shares were issued on November 28, 2011.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2011 we borrowed $51,000 from the father of our president; $62,389 Cdn (approximately $62,797 US) from the company controlled by two directors, and $70,000 US and $10,000 Cdn (approximately $10,454 US) from our CFO. We also repaid $14,956 in loans including accrued interest and recognized foreign exchange adjustment of $2,402 on $50,000 Cdn that we borrowed during the year ended January 31, 2011 from our CEO. See Non-cash financing transactions below.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2010, we issued 540,000 shares of our common stock for $135,000, borrowed $50,000 from a company owned by the father of a director and $10,000 from our CEO.

Non-cash financing transactions. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, as part of the private offering completed on April 7, 2011, the Company’s CEO converted loans in the amount of $50,000 into 166,666 units and the Company’s CFO converted loans in the amount of $80,000 into 266,667 units.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2010, we did not have any non-cash financing transactions.
 
Net cash used in operating activities. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, we used net cash of $1,714,157 in operating activities. We used $2,353,652 to cover operating costs and increased prepaids and other receivables by $77,625. As part of our operating costs we recorded a non-cash employee stock based compensation expense of $559,516. We decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities by $27,661 and $4,365, respectively. These uses of cash were offset by increases in accounts payable to related parties of $179,668 and accrued interest on our notes payable to related parties of $5,411.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2010, we used net cash of $175,588 in operating activities. We used $469,566 to cover operating costs, increased our prepaid expenses and other receivables by $18,812, and decreased accrued liabilities by $32,856. These uses of cash were offset by net increases in accounts payable of $79,769, accounts payable to related parties of $263,684 and accrued interest on our notes payable to a related party of $2,193.  
 
Net cash used in investing activities. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, we spent $230,092 acquiring mineral claims and paying property taxes associated with our mineral claims. We capitalized Chilean value-added tax as part of the unproved mineral claims. This VAT is recoverable from future VAT payable. During the same period we used $19,820 to purchase a pick-up truck that will be used in operations.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2010, we spent $17,336 acquiring mineral claims and options to acquire mineral claims.
 
Since inception through October 31, 2011, we have invested $1,256,861 in acquiring our mineral claims and $19,820 for acquisition of other capital assets.

Unproved mineral properties

We have four active properties which we have assembled since the beginning of 2007— the Farellon, Perth, Mateo, and Veta Negra. These properties consist of both mining and exploration claims and are grouped into two district areas – Carrizal Alto area properties and Vallenar area properties.

Recent exploration activities.

During May through October, 2011, we conducted a drill program on the Farellon property and exploration campaigns on the Mateo, Veta Negra and Perth properties.
 
Farellon Property

Drilling. During June through September 2011 we conducted a combined RC/diamond drill program on the Farellon property. The program was designed to continue to expand on the results of the 2009 drill program, as well as to continue confirming historical results along the strike. During this program we completed 11 drillholes for a total of 2,233m. Significant results of assays are presented in the Table 6 below.

QA/QC, sampling procedures and analytical methods. Samples were taken at intervals between 0.5 and 2 metres. Sampling started at the collar of the hole and proceeded to the toe or bottom of the drill hole.  Samples were taken at two metre intervals outside the previously identified main zone of interest.  Through the main zone of interest samples were taken at one metre intervals.   Generally, the sample recovery was good to excellent for the 2011 drilling program. Table 6 above summarizes significant assay results.  They are reported as drill lengths as we have not established the width of the mineralized zone.
 
Our quality assurance, quality control (QA/QC) protocol consists of the addition of standards, blanks and laboratory duplicates to the sample stream.  We inserted these into the sample series using the same number sequence as the samples themselves.  One of the QA/QC check samples is inserted every 25 samples and it alternates between standards, blanks and laboratory duplicates. 

Mateo Property

During August through October, 2011 we carried out an in-depth geological mapping and sampling program on the Mateo property.  The Mateo property has very diverse mineralization styles through the property which includes mantos, veins, breccias and porphyries with significant gold and copper. A total of 138 reconnaissance samples were collected over the property. The highest assay values returned from reconnaissance samples were 21g/t Au and 10.3% Cu but more common values were between 1-3g/t Au and 1-3% Cu. Table 7 summarizes the significant assay results.

Veta Negra

During June and July 2011 we carried out a preliminary exploration program on the Veta Negra property. As a result of the program we discovered a defined and continuous copper mineralized manto in addition to the main manto previously known to exist. At the conclusion of this program three mantos were traced on surface, one manto, the East Manto, was traced for 1.9km on surface before becoming buried by surface rock, a second manto, the West Manto, was traced for a one kilometer strike length and a third manto, the Far West Manto, was traced for a 500 metre strike length.

During this program, 65 reconnaissance samples were collected along the strike length of these three mantos. Table 8 summarizes the significant assay results.

Perth Property

During August and September 2011, we completed a preliminary mapping and sampling program on the Perth property. Through the program several new mineralized veins were identified on the north half of the property.  A total of 129 reconnaissance samples were collected.  Of the 129 samples collected, 48 samples returned gold grades greater than 1.00 g/t and 46 samples returned copper grades of over 1%.

Capital resources

Our ability to acquire and explore our Chilean claims is subject to our ability to obtain the necessary funding.  We expect to raise funds through loans from private or affiliated persons and sales of our debt or equity securities. We have no committed sources of capital.  If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

On April 7, 2011, we completed a private equity financing for net proceeds after commissions, legal and closing fees of $1,862,462. We paid the placement agent a cash commission of $58,900 and issued a warrant to purchase 196,333 shares of our common stock.  The securities offered were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. On May 13, 2011, we filed registration statement on form S-1 to register 4,623,333 shares of our common stock, and 4,819,666 shares of common stock underlying warrants which were a part of the above private equity financing.

Contingencies and commitments
 
We had no contingencies at October 31, 2011.  
 
Contractual Obligations
 
Our commitments under the Farellon, Che, Veta Negra and Este contracts are the only contractual obligations that we have.  Table 10 summarizes contractual obligations and commitments as of December 12, 2011 for the next five fiscal years.

*The royalty payments are due once exploration begins.
 
  
Farellon royalty. We are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% on the net sales of minerals extracted from the Farellon claims up to a total of $600,000. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins and are subject to minimum payments of $1,000 per month. We have no obligation to pay the royalty if we do not commence exploitation. As of the date of this report we have not commenced exploitation.
 
 
22

 
 
  
Che royalty. We are committed to paying a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claims to a maximum of $100,000 to the former owner. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins, and are not subject to minimum payments.
 
•  
Veta Negra option. On June 30, 2011, Minera Farellon agreed to sell us its option to purchase the Veta Negra and Exon claims for the total cash payment of $107,500 ($17,500 payable to Minera Farellon to exercise the option, and $90,000 payable to the vendors). As of the date of this report, we must pay $97,500 payable in two installments over 14 months to exercise the option. If we complete acquisition of the property we are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claims to a total maximum of $500,000.  The royalty can also be bought for $500,000 at any time. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins, and are not subject to minimum payments.
 
•  
Este option. On August 3, 2011, we entered into an option to purchase contract with unrelated vendors. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid 5,000,000 Chilean Pesos ($10,900 US) upon execution of the contract, and agreed to pay 95,000,000 Pesos ($193,100 US) in various stages by February 3, 2014 to complete acquisition of the property. After we complete acquisition of the property we are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claims to a total maximum of 100,000,000 Pesos (approximately $204,000 US).

Equity financing

To generate working capital, between January 31, 2009 and December 12, 2011, we issued 12,983,632 shares of our common stock and warrants for the purchase of 7,509,666 shares to raise $3,527,017 under Regulations S and D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
We anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future and will require additional equity capital to support our operations and develop our business plan.  If we succeed in completing future equity financing, the issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

Debt financing

On February 22, 2010, we borrowed US $50,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 6% per annum.  See Related-party transactions below.

On March 2, 2011, we borrowed US $11,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum.  See Related-party transactions below.

On August 25, 2011, we borrowed US $30,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum.  See Related-party transactions below.

On September 19, 2011, we borrowed Cdn $62,387 (equivalent to US $62,797) and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum.  See Related-party transactions below.

On October 25, 2011, we borrowed US $10,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum.  See Related-party transactions below.
 
Challenges and risks
 
We do not anticipate generating any revenue over the next twelve months. We plan to fund our operations through any combination of equity or debt financing from the sale of our securities, private loans, joint ventures or through the sale of part interest in our mineral properties. Although we have succeeded in raising funds as we have needed them, we cannot assure you that this will continue in the future.  Many things, such as the continued general downturn, worldwide, of the economy or a significant decrease in the price of minerals, could affect the willingness of potential investors to invest in risky ventures such as ours. In addition to the Perth joint venture earn-in agreement, we may consider entering into a joint venture partnership with a more senior resource company to complete a mineral exploration program on other properties in Chile. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to our joint venture partner in exchange for the funding.

Investments in and expenditures on mineral interests
 
Realization of our investments in mineral properties depends upon our maintaining legal ownership, producing from the properties or gainfully disposing of them.

Title to mineral claims involves risks inherent in the difficulties of determining the validity of claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral claims. Our contracts and deeds have been notarized, recorded in the registry of mines and published in the mining bulletin. We review the mining bulletin regularly to discover whether other parties have staked claims over our ground. We have discovered no such claims. To the best of our knowledge, we have taken the steps necessary to ensure that we have good title to our mineral claims.

Foreign exchange
 
We are subject to foreign exchange risk for transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the United States dollar.  We do not believe that we have any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.
 
Trends, events or uncertainties that may impact results of operations or liquidity
 
The economic crisis in the United States and the resulting economic uncertainty and market instability may make it harder for us to raise capital as and when we need it and have made it difficult for us to assess the impact of the crisis on our operations or liquidity and to determine if the prices we will receive on the sale of minerals will exceed the cost of mineral exploitation.  If we are unable to raise cash, we may be required to cease our operations.  Other than as discussed in this quarterly report, we know of no other trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
An appreciation of our critical accounting judgments is necessary to understand our financial results.  These policies may require that we make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. Other than our accounting for the fair value of our unproved mineral properties, accruals for accounting, auditing, legal expenses and mineral property costs, our critical accounting policies do not involve the choice between alternative methods of accounting. We have applied our critical accounting judgments consistently.

Reclassifications
 
Certain comparative amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position for any year presented.
 
Unproved mineral property costs

We have been in the exploration stage since our inception on January 10, 2005 and have not yet generated significant revenue from our operations. We are primarily engaged in acquiring and exploring mining claims. We expense our mineral exploration costs as we incur them. When we have determined that a mineral claim can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, we capitalize the costs then incurred to develop the claim and will amortize them using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral claims are subsequently abandoned or impaired we will charge capitalized costs to operations.
 
Financial instruments
 
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued professional fees and accrued mineral property costs. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short maturities.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. We do not expect the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
