Overview

We are one of the world's leading transportation finance companies. We lease
equipment, primarily intermodal shipping containers, to our customers. We also
manage equipment for third-party investors. In operating our fleet, we lease,
re-lease and dispose of equipment and contract for the repair, repositioning and
storage of equipment.

The following tables show the composition of our fleet as of June 30, 2021 and
2020, and our average utilization for the three and six months ended June 30,
2021 and 2020:

                                           As of June 30,

The intermodal marine container industry-standard measurement unit is the
20-foot equivalent unit (TEU), which compares the size of a container to a
standard 20-foot container. For example, a 20-foot container is equivalent to
one TEU and a 40-foot container is equivalent to two TEUs. Containers can also
be measured in cost equivalent units (CEUs), whereby the cost of each type of
container is expressed as a ratio relative to the cost of a standard 20-foot dry
van container. For example, the CEU ratio for a standard 40-foot dry van
container is 1.6, and a 40-foot high cube container is 1.7.

Utilization of containers is computed by dividing the average total units on
lease during the period in CEUs, by the average total CEUs in our container
fleet during the period. The total fleet excludes new units not yet leased and
off-hire units designated for sale.

Merger Agreement with Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc.



On June 17, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
Merger Agreement) with Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc., a Japanese corporation
(Parent), and Cattleya Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), relating to the proposed
acquisition of the Company by Parent. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the Merger), with
the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company
will cease to be a publicly traded company and at the effective time of the
Merger (the Effective Time): (i) each share of the Company's common stock that
is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will cease to be
outstanding and will be converted into the right to receive $56.00, in cash,
without interest, subject to deductions of any applicable withholding taxes;
(ii) each share of the Company's 8.50% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) that is issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Excluded
Shares, will be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the sum
of: (a) the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus (b) the aggregate
amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock as
of the Effective Time, in cash, without interest, subject to deductions of any
applicable withholding taxes; and (iii) each share of the Company's 8.50% Series
B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Stock (Series B
Preferred Stock) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, other than Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to
receive an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the liquidation preference of $25.00
per share, plus (b) the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends on
such Series B Preferred Stock as of the Effective Time, in cash, without
interest, subject to deductions of any applicable withholding taxes.

The closing of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, each of
which is more fully described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
with the SEC on June 21, 2021, the Company's preliminary proxy statement on
Schedule 14A relating to the Merger, filed with the SEC on July 12, 2021 (the
Preliminary Proxy Statement), and the Company's definitive proxy statement on
Schedule 14A relating to the Merger to be filed with the SEC.

The closing of the Merger is subject to, among other things, adoption of the
Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority
of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at a special meeting
of the common stockholders of the Company to be held on a date to be announced,
the completion of the Migration (as defined the Preliminary Proxy Statement) and
receipt of regulatory approval.

The Merger is expected to be completed in the late third quarter or early fourth
quarter of 2021. However, the exact timing of completion of the Merger cannot be
predicted because the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) waiver of the conditions to the completion of the
Merger more fully described in the Preliminary Proxy Statement.

We have incurred Merger-related costs of approximately $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

See also Item 1A. Risk Factors--"Risks Related to the Merger."

COVID-19 Pandemic



The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a meaningful impact on global trade and
our business. The pandemic and related work, travel, and social restrictions
resulted in a sharp decrease in global economic and trade activity during the
first half of 2020, resulting in weak container leasing demand. However, we have
seen a significant increase in leasing demand since the second half of 2020,
which we expect to continue through 2021. However, it remains difficult to
predict the future impact that COVID-19, including the emergence of new variants
of the virus, will have on our business, and whether the rebound in demand will
be sustained into 2022 and beyond.

We were initially concerned that the sharp decrease in global container volumes
early in 2020 would increase the financial challenges facing our customers and
lead to increased credit risk. While we are not yet through the pandemic,
container freight rates and the financial performance of our customers have
generally held up better than anticipated, with freight rates reaching record
levels. As the impact of the pandemic grew, all the major shipping lines have
taken aggressive actions to reduce their deployed vessel capacity, decreasing
their network expenses and mitigating rate pressure from reduced freight
volumes. The large decrease in bunker fuel prices has also been very helpful to
their financial performance. We continue to closely monitor our customers'
payment performance and expect the potential for elevated credit risk as long as
economic and trade disruptions persist.

For additional information regarding the risk and uncertainties that we could
encounter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related global conditions,
see "Business Risk - The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic may have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations" in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021.

Disposal of Logistics and Rail Businesses



On August 14, 2020, we sold substantially all the assets of our logistics
business to NFI, a North American logistics provider, for cash proceeds of $6.2
million. On December 29, 2020, we sold all our remaining railcar fleet to
affiliates of Infinity Transportation for cash proceeds of $228.1 million. As a
result, the operating results of the logistics and rail leasing businesses have
been classified as discontinued operations in the unaudited consolidated
financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All prior periods
presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been restated
to reflect the reclassification of the logistics and railcar leasing businesses
as discontinued operations. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations to the
consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more
information.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended Jun 30, 2020

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands):



                                      Three Months Ended June 30,            Change
                                           2021            2020        Amount      Percent
Total leasing revenue                 $       85,695    $  69,443    $  16,252        23  %
Operating expenses                            34,856       36,950       (2,094)       (6) %
Total other expenses                          11,040       16,037       (4,997)      (31) %

38,569 (1,361) %




The increase in total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2020, was attributable to an $11.1 million,
or 20%, increase in operating lease revenue, a $3.0 million, or 27%, increase in
finance lease revenue, and a $2.2 million, or 64%, increase in other lease
revenue. The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, was the result of a $5.2
million, or 293%, increase in gain on sale of rental equipment and a $2.7
million, or 53%, decrease in storage, handling and other expenses, partially
offset by a $2.5 million, or 9%, increase in depreciation expense and a $3.3
million, or 49%, increase in administrative expenses.

Total other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased compared
with the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a $4.6 million, or
29%, decrease in net interest expense.

The increase in revenue together with the decrease in operating expenses, total
other expense and net loss from discontinued operations resulted in an increase
in net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the three months ended
June 30, 2021 of $38.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Total leasing revenue  $       85,695              $ 69,443   $ 16,252      23  %


The increase in total leasing revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was mainly attributable to an
$8.9 million increase in rental revenue resulting from a 16% increase in the
average number of CEUs of on-lease owned containers, a $3.4 million increase in
rental revenue arising from payments made by a cash-based customer, a $3.0
million increase in interest income on finance leases resulting from an increase
in the average number of CEUs on finance leases, and a $0.9 million increase in
rental revenue resulting from a 2% increase in average owned container per diem
rental rates.

The increase in depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was attributable to an 8% increase in the average size of our owned container fleet subject to depreciation over the last twelve months.

The decrease in storage, handling and other expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily
attributable to a $1.9 million decrease in storage and handlings costs and a
$0.9 million decrease in repair expenses due to a decrease in the average size
of the off-lease fleet.

Gain on sale of rental equipment

While there was a decrease of 43% in the number of CEUs of containers sold
during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2020, there was a 50% increase in the average sale price per CEU,
resulting in a 541% increase in gain per CEU, due to an increase in demand for
equipment.

Administrative expenses

                              Three Months Ended June 30,              Change

Administrative expenses  $        10,168               $ 6,825   $ 3,343      49  %


The increase in administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to a
$1.4 million increase in payroll-related costs, largely due to increased
incentive-based compensation, a $2.3 million increase in bad debt expense due to
cash receipts from a previously reserved customer during the second quarter of
2020, and a $1.4 million increase in legal expense mainly due to the Merger
Agreement with MHC, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in severance
costs associated with the change in our Chief Executive Officer during the
second quarter of 2020.

Other expense

                           Three Months Ended June 30,             Change

Net interest expense

The decrease in net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to a decrease
in the average interest rate on our outstanding debt from approximately 2.9% as
of June 30, 2020 to 2.2% as of June 30, 2021, caused primarily by a decrease in
LIBOR, as well as a decrease in our average loan principal balance between the
two periods, mainly due to the paydown of debt with proceeds from the sale of
our railcar portfolio in 2020.

Other income

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 remained relatively consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2020.



Income tax expense

                           Three Months Ended June 30,              Change
($ in thousand)            2021                         2020   Amount   Percent
Income tax expense  $           1,856                  $ 904   $  952     105  %


The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021
compared to three months ended June 30, 2020 was mainly attributable to an
increase in income before tax, partially offset by a decrease in the estimated
effective tax rate. The full-year estimated effective tax rate before discrete
items was 5.7% at June 30, 2021, compared to an effective tax rate of 8.2% at
June 30, 2020. The decrease in the estimated full-year effective tax rate was
primarily due to an increase in the proportion of pretax income generated in
lower tax jurisdictions.

75,639 (1,187) %




The increase in total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2020, was attributable to a $20.3 million, or 19%,
increase in operating lease revenue, a $4.7 million, or 20%, increase in finance
lease revenue, and a $3.0 million, or 47%, increase in other lease revenue. The
decrease in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2020, was the result of a $10.3 million, or
301%, increase in gain on sale of rental equipment and a $4.7 million, or 49%,
decrease in storage, handling and other expenses, partially offset by a $4.0
million, or 7%, increase in depreciation expense and a $4.2 million, or 31%,
increase in administrative expenses.

Total other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased compared
with the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a $12.1 million, or
39%, decrease in net interest expense.

The increase in revenue together with the decrease in operating expenses, total
other expense and net loss from discontinued operations resulted in an increase
in net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 of $75.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 was mainly attributable to a
$15.1 million increase in rental revenue resulting from a 14% increase in the
average number of CEUs of on-lease owned containers, an $8.7 million increase in
rental revenue arising from payments made by a cash-based customer, and a $5.5
million increase in interest income on finance leases and financing receivable
resulting from an increase in the average number of CEUs on finance leases and
financing receivable, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in rental
revenue resulting from a 1% decrease in the average owned container per diem
rental rates.

4,023 7 %

The increase in depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 was mainly attributable to a 5% increase in the average size of our owned container fleet subject to depreciation over the last twelve months.

Storage, handling and other expenses

The decrease in storage, handling and other expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily
attributable to a $3.4 million decrease in storage and handling costs and a $1.3
million decrease in repair expenses due to a decrease in the average size of the
off-lease fleet.

Gain on sale of rental equipment

While there was a decrease of 31% in the number of CEUs of containers sold
during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June
30, 2020, there was a 39% increase in the average sale price per CEU, resulting
in a 453% increase in gain per CEU, due to an increase in demand for equipment.

The increase in administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to a
$2.1 million increase in payroll-related costs, largely due to increased
incentive-based compensation, and a $3.5 million increase in bad debt expense
due to cash receipts from a previously reserved customer during the second
quarter of 2020, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in severance costs
associated with the change in our Chief Executive Officer during the second
quarter of 2020.

Net interest expense

The decrease in net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to a decrease
in the average interest rate on our outstanding debt from approximately 2.9% as
of June 30, 2020 to 2.2% as of June 30, 2021, caused primarily by a decrease in
LIBOR, as well as a decrease in our average loan principal balance between the
two periods, mainly due to the paydown of debt with proceeds from the sale of
our railcar portfolio in 2020.

Other expense



Other expense, representing a loss on foreign exchange of $0.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2021, increased from a loss of $0.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of movements in the U.S.
Dollar exchange rate against the Euro.

The increase in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021
compared to six months ended June 30, 2020 was mainly attributable to an
increase in income before tax, partially offset by a decrease in the estimated
effective tax rate. The full-year estimated effective tax rate before discrete
items was 5.7% at June 30, 2021, compared to an effective tax rate of 8.2% at
June 30, 2020. The decrease in the estimated full-year effective tax rate was
primarily due to an increase in the proportion of pretax income generated in
lower tax jurisdictions.

Total revenue and operating expenses from discontinued operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 were a result of immaterial differences in the actual
transactions from the amounts accrued prior to the sale of the logistics and
railcar businesses in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $51.2 million,
including $12.4 million of restricted cash, and $21.3 million of cash held by
variable interest entities (VIEs). Our principal sources of liquidity are cash
in-flows provided by operating activities, proceeds from the sale of rental
equipment, borrowings from financial institutions, and equity and debt
offerings. Our cash in-flows are used to finance capital expenditures and meet
debt service requirements.

As of June 30, 2021, our outstanding indebtedness and current maximum borrowing level was as follows (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2021, we had $300.6 million in availability under our revolving
credit facilities (net of $0.1 million in letters of credit), subject to our
ability to meet the collateral requirements under the agreements governing the
facilities. Based on the borrowing base and collateral requirements at June 30,
2021, the borrowing availability under our revolving credit facilities was
$276.0 million, assuming no additional contributions of assets.

As of June 30, 2021, we had a total of $1,405.4 million of debt in facilities
with fixed interest rates or floating interest rates that have been
synthetically fixed through interest rate swap agreements, which accounts for
77% of our total outstanding debt.

For further information on our debt instruments, see Note 6 to the consolidated
financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 7 to the
consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021.

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our overall
liquidity position and outlook. The ultimate impact that COVID-19 may have on
our operational and financial performance over the next 12 months is currently
uncertain and will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the
impact of COVID-19 on our customers, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic,
and the rollout and efficacy of vaccines. Assuming that our customers continue
to meet their contractual commitments, we currently believe that cash provided
by operating activities and existing cash, proceeds from the sale of rental
equipment, and borrowing availability under our debt facilities are sufficient
to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

In addition to customary events of default, the agreements governing our
indebtedness contain restrictive covenants, including limitations on certain
liens, indebtedness and investments. In addition, the agreements governing our
indebtedness contain various restrictive financial and other covenants. The
financial covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness require us to
maintain: (1) a consolidated funded debt to consolidated tangible net worth
ratio, in the case of our debt facilities, of no more than 3.75:1.00, and in the
case of our asset-backed notes, of no more than 4.50:1.00; and (2) a fixed
charge coverage ratio, in the case of our debt facilities, of at least
1.20:1.00, and in the case of our asset-backed notes, of at least 2.50:1.00. As
of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all of our financial and other
covenants and we expect to remain in compliance for at least the next twelve
months.

Cash Flows from Continuing Operations

Operating Activities



Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was
$165.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of
$47.1 million compared to $118.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The increase was due to a $37.4 million increase in income from continuing
operations as adjusted for depreciation, impairment and other non-cash items,
and a $9.7 million increase in our net working capital adjustments. The increase
of $37.4 million in income from continuing operations as adjusted for non-cash
items was primarily attributable to an increase of $44.4 million in income from
continuing operations, a decrease of $3.5 million in bad debt recovery due to
cash receipts from a cash-based customer in the prior year, and an increase of
$4.0 million in depreciation expense, partially offset by an increase of $10.3
million in gain on sale of rental equipment, mainly due to an increase in
container prices as a result of high demand, and a decrease of $4.4 million in
deferred income taxes.

Net working capital provided by operating activities of $48.5 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2021, was due to a $46.9 million decrease in net
investment in finance leases, representing the receipt of principal payments, a
$2.4 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
liabilities, primarily caused by the timing of cash payments, and a $1.8 million
decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by a $2.4
million increase in accounts receivable, primarily caused by the timing of cash
receipts from customers. Net working capital provided by operating activities
of $38.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to a $35.7
million decrease in net investment in finance leases, representing the receipt
of principal payments and a $4.1 million decrease in accounts receivable,
primarily caused by the timing of cash receipts from customers, partially offset
by a $1.0 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
liabilities, primarily caused by the timing of cash payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was
$228.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $215.6
million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $13.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cash used was attributable
to a $244.0 million increase in purchase of rental equipment, partially offset
by a $22.1 million decrease in purchase of financing receivable, a $3.1 million
increase in proceeds from sale of rental equipment and a $3.1 million increase
in receipt of principal payments from financing receivable.

Financing Activities



Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was
$50.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of
$173.8 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of
$123.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months
ended June 30, 2021, our net cash inflow from borrowings was $76.3 million
compared to net cash outflow of $119.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2020. The increase in net cash inflow from borrowings was partially offset by an
increase of $12.8 million for the repurchase of common stock and an increase of
$10.4 million in dividends paid to common stockholders.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations



Net cash used in discontinued operations was $2.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $17.5 million compared to net cash provided
by discontinued operations of $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2020. The change between the two periods was primarily due to the sale of the
logistics and railcar businesses in 2020.

Equity Transactions

Stock Repurchase Plan



In October 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors approved the
repurchase of up to three million shares of our outstanding common stock. In
February 2021, our Board of Directors increased the share repurchase plan by an
additional 2.0 million shares. The number, price, structure and timing of the
repurchases, if any, will be at our sole discretion and will be evaluated by us
depending on prevailing market conditions, corporate needs, and other factors.
The stock repurchases may be made in the open market, block trades or privately
negotiated transactions. This stock repurchase program replaces any available
prior share repurchase authorization and may be discontinued at any time. During
the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 0.4 million shares of our
common stock under this repurchase plan, at a cost of approximately $12.8
million. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 2.4 million shares remained
available for repurchase under our share repurchase program.

(1)Our estimate of interest expense commitment includes $13.2 million relating
to our revolving credit facilities subject to variable interest rates, $17.8
million relating to our revolving credit facilities subject to fixed interest
rates, $9.2 million relating to our term loans, $3.0 million relating to our
senior secured notes, $73.9 million relating to our asset-back notes,
$6.0 million relating to our collateralized financing obligations, and
$3.1 million relating to our term loans held by VIE. The calculation of interest
commitment related to our debt assumes the following weighted-average interest
rates as of June 30, 2021: variable-rate revolving credit facilities,
1.6%; fixed-rate revolving credit facilities, 1.8%; term loans, 4.0%; senior
secured notes, 4.9%; asset-backed notes, 2.3%; collateralized financing
obligations, 1.9%; and term loans held by VIE, 4.2%. These calculations assume
that weighted-average interest rates will remain at the same level over the next
five years. We expect that interest rates will vary over time based upon
fluctuations in the underlying indexes upon which these rates are based,
including the potential discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



As of June 30, 2021, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements or
obligations that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on our financial condition, change in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital
resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update 2020-04 (ASU 2020-04), which adds ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate
Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial
Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to
ease financial reporting burdens related to applying current GAAP to
modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions in
connection with the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January
2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 to clarify that certain optional expedients
and exceptions apply to modifications of derivative contracts and certain
hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for
discounting cash flows, computing variation margin settlements, and for
calculating price alignment interest. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on
March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through
December 31, 2022 and ASU 2021-01 is effective beginning on January 7, 2021 and
may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to such transactions through
December 31, 2022. We will apply ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01 prospectively as and
when we enter into transactions to which these updates apply.

Except as described above, there are no other recent accounting pronouncement that are relevant to our business.
