Campbell had been reassured by Lorenzo, Executive Vice President of sales and marketing, that there is nothing wrong with recording the revenues in 2010, however, this was still a concern for the CPA, Tony Cupertino. The legality of the events was within the laws of federal, state and local government. Reporting the revenue properly after sending out the shipments would not have violated the FOB shipping point. Although the shipments were sent before they were scheduled to, Cupertino was uncertain whether to pursue this issue any further.
Although its main target started out being collegiate and professional athletes that could really benefit from the use of Under Armour products, it has also obtained a following of youth, adults, and nonprofessional athletes.

Economic-Being in the textile/sports apparel industry, Under Armour must deal with increasing prices in the textile industry, increasing labor prices in China, increased shipping costs due to the oil and gas price increase, and also increased inflation.
