an Diego city voters on June 7 clearly favored a minimum wage increase that was vehemently opposed by much of the local business community.

Concerns Crater Outlook Index For Business Anxiety among business owners is running high these days; one snapshot is the quick drop chronicled by the San Diego SDBJ INSIDER Regional Nels Jensen Chamber of Commerce’s monthly Business Outlook Index (from 27 to 19). Respondents in the survey cited unknowns related to minimum wage increases. The “what if ?” concerns are exacerbated among small business owners, undoubtedly because they face so many variables and new types of disruptions. It takes a lot of courage to own a business; fear of the unknown is understandable. ••• The San Diego-based Center on Policy Initiatives just released a report refuting predictions of negative impacts from increases in the minimum wage. The report goes into great detail on many facets of wage dynamics, some of which are negative, most of which are neutral and some of which are positive, such as increased consumer spending, improved worker productivity and retention. The report’s author, CPI research director Peter Brownell, says those factors amount to an essentially zero statistical impact. From a macro perspective, our region has seen an economic recovery in many areas, including housing costs, GDP and employment but not what you would expect in terms of wage growth, Brownell said. ••• UC Berkeley’s Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics just released a study looking at the minimum wage increase to $15 an hour by 2019 in San Jose. It predicts that average prices in San Jose will increase only 0.3 percent over the next three years related to wage increases. That mirrors what history shows us from past minimum wage increases. ••• So a couple of progressive organizations have trotted out data supporting their agenda? Yes, that is true. Be skeptical if you like. The minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $15 an hour in California by 2022, an unprecedented increase in such a short period of time. Also true. Will the minimum wage hikes be a tipping point for some companies? Yes. To what extent? That’s the big unknown. History suggests the impact will be minimal. ••• Speaking of the brave, more than 3,000 people are expected at various downtown venues this week for the fifth annual San Diego Startup Week. Check out Page 15 for our new weekly page dedicated to San Diego County’s vibrant startup scene. It will feature advice, meetups and highlight apps and, of course, startup companies.

NuVasive Buys Biotronic for $98 Million MEDICAL: Medtech Firm
Will Expand S.D. Co.’s Spine Service Line n By BRITTANY MEILING
San Diego’s NuVasive Inc. announced that it is acquiring medtech firm Biotronic NeuroNetwork for $98 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to immediately increase NuVasive’s revenues, with a significant impact to the cash flow by next year, the company said. NuVasive, which makes medical devices related to spine surgery, said the acquisition of Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Biotronic
will expand the company’s offerings for the spine service line. That’s because Biotronic is a provider of monitoring services that help surgeons improve clinical outcomes of surgeries. The company provides certified specialists to monitor patients’ nervous systems during surgery, while also offering remote physician oversight. Biotronic supports more than 45,000 surgeries annually in more than 650 hospitals, providing real-time remote monitoring through proprietary software and a secure, virtual private network. The company brought in more than $50 million in revenue in 2015. “We are extremely excited about this combination, as it more than doubles
NuVasive’s neurophysiology footprint, creating an at-scale services business with improved growth and operational benefits,” said Gregory T. Lucier, chairman and CEO of NuVasive, in a statement. “The addition of Biotronic enhances our service offerings and provides enormous potential to deliver greater integration across our procedurally-integrated portfolio, which uniquely differentiates NuVasive in the markets we serve.” NuVasive is one of San Diego’s largest public companies, with a market cap of $2.8 billion. The company, which brought in $811 million in revenue last year, said the acquisition of Biotronic will be immediately accretive to the company’s earnings.
Comic-Con Museum at the Hall of Champions? TOURISM: Talks
Underway On Leasing Of Balboa Park Facility n By LOU HIRSH
Officials of the San Diego Hall of Champions and Comic-Con International announced they are in talks on the possible leasing of space at the Balboa Park venue for a Comic-Con museum. Leaders of the nonprofit that oversees the Hall of Champions, billed as the nation’s largest multisport museum, said officials had internally discussed the possibility of subleasing some or all of the museum location, after learning of Comic-Con’s interest in the space. They then made the decision to move forward
with official discussions. Comic-Con International is headquartered in San Diego and has held its famous annual pop-culture and science fiction gathering in the city since its inception in 1970. Organizers have previously committed to holding the event at San Diego Convention Center through 2018. Officials of the nonprofit Comic-Con International have been exploring the establishment of a year-round space that would allow the organization to further its mission of bringing comics and related popular art forms to a wider audience. However, there was no immediate comment from Comic-Con officials on whether a local museum would impact future venue planning for the convention itself. “Comic-Con has been working with the Hall of Champions as part of our
continuing exploration of how best to ensure Comic-Con’s legacy,” said Comic-Con spokesman David Glanzer, in a statement issued by the Hall of Champions. “At this time we are in talks and while no decision has been made, we are thrilled with the direction of those discussions.” Comic-Con International attracts a crowd of nearly 130,000 and is the largest single convention held annually in San Diego. However, organizers have been wooed in recent years by venues in competing cities, including Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. Dan Shea, owner of the Donovan’s restaurants and a San Diego Hall of Champions board member, said the hall’s programs will continue regardless of the outcome of talks.
Ex-NASA Exec Unveils Chip Technology Dan Goldin, who led NASA during the 1990s, took the wraps off his 11-year-old San Diego company, KnuEdge, on June 6. KnuEdge specializes in neural computing. The company has collected $100 million in private funding for its venture. The business, formerly known as Intellisis Corp., has two divisions. Its Knupath division focuses on what it calls Lambda Fabric processor technology, which offers “groundbreaking scalability, latency and workload performance in next-generation data centers.” Among its features are 256-core processors. The company’s second division, KnuVerse, centers on military-grade voice recognition and authentication technology. Voice can be one of the most powerful biometric identifiers available, the company said. Goldin, who started the business in 2005 and is its CEO, said his company is developing transformative technology. “We were swinging for the fences from the very beginning,” the former NASA administrator said in a prepared statement, “with intent to create next-generation technologies that will in essence alter how humans interact with machines, and enable next-generation computing capabilities ranging from signal processing to machine learning.”

App Gives Parents Option Not to Leave Kids to Their Own Devices WIRELESS: Access
To Internet and Apps Can Be Blocked ■ By BRAD GRAVES
Build a better parenting app, and the world will beat a path to your door. The twist on the old adage holds true for ParentsWare Inc. — though there is a complicated middle step: Your app has to catch the eye of a British celebrity chef, who posts an unsolicited video on Facebook praising your product. P a r e n t s Wa r e , based in Carmel Amir Moussavian Valley, makes an easy-to-use app called OurPact. It lets moms or dads set limits on the times a child can use his or her mobile device. OurPact does it by blocking the internet or apps on the child’s device. ParentsWare has seen the use of OurPact spike in the United Kingdom following the unsolicited plug from Jamie Oliver, a U.K. chef, author and parent of teenagers. Oliver posted an online video praising OurPact in December. ParentsWare first released its beta version of the app 16 months ago. The business just hit 600,000 users. When a reporter recently visited the company, its servers were getting the most hits from
the British Isles. There are users in more than 100 countries, said Edward Hunter, the company’s chief technology officer. The business uses cloud servers from Amazon.com Inc. With OurPact, parents are able to set times when their children’s cellphones won’t connect to the internet (via a WiFi or cellular connection). These might be times set aside for school, dinner, homework or bed. A parent might block access to apps in a similar manner. One function lets parents block or grant internet access on the spot. Parents have the option of doing it for a certain number of minutes or hours, or “until I say so.”
PARENTSWARE INC. President and COO: Jim Magner Revenue: Pre-revenue No. of local employees: 25 Investors: The executive team, undisclosed individuals Headquarters: Carmel Valley Year founded: 2013 What makes the company innovative: ParentsWare offers patented cloud technology allowing a user with one mobile device to grant or block access to another mobile device.
Three U.S. Patents ParentsWare has three U.S. patents on its technology and is processing a dozen more, in the United States and abroad. The existing patents cover cloud technology allowing the user to automate device management according to family agreements and schedules. So far, OurPact is free. In August, ParentsWare plans to introduce a tiered product with free and premium versions. Versions with increased functionality will require payment. Hunter said company officials are still deciding what to charge. “It should be something people don’t have to think twice about,” he said, estimating that a monthly subscription will probably cost less than $10. The business plans to release yet another version in December.

‘OurPact is a product I believe in’ — Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints Quarterback
Cruise Controlled Future enhancements might include the ability to transfer control of a device from a parent to a teacher during the school day. Another possibility might be the system that can shut down a young person’s device when it detects motion — that is, when the young person is driving a car. ParentsWare is looking at several other markets for its technology. It is mulling
a product for managing corporate devices, or managing access to enterprise or school networks. Another application would limit where people could get access to the internet. Access would be granted depending on whether a person was inside or outside a “geofence.” Still another option would be to place limits on wearable devices, gaming consoles, televisions or other connected devices. ParentsWare might stake out territory in the Internet of Things as more common household or workplace objects get connected. ParentsWare has a few competitors, Hunter said, though he described competition as fragmented. Amir Moussavian is founder and chairman of ParentsWare. Moussavian is also CEO of San Diego-based MIR3, a company that specializes in mass notification products. Jim Magner is president and chief operating officer of ParentsWare. Investors include the executive team and individuals who have been unnamed — with one notable exception. ParentsWare announced recently that New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees made an investment in the company after he started using the app with his family. “OurPact is a product I believe in,” Brees said in a prepared statement. The amount of his investment was not disclosed. Hunter said the business might look for an institutional partner after it starts collecting revenue. Venture funding might be another option.

Pirch Finds Prime Luxury Position in New SoHo Location RETAIL: Furnishings
After less than seven years in business, San Diego-based home furnishings retailer Pirch recently landed its first location in New York City, in lower Manhattan’s trendy and upscale SoHo neighborhood. The location, in a gentrified area increasingly home to arts and design-savvy consumers, fits nicely in the wheelhouse of Pirch, which lets customers “test drive” and view live demonstrations of an array of kitchen, bathroom, living room, patio and other designer fixtures on display in its showrooms, before buying them. Operators said the newest store has 30 live “vignettes” in action, including indoor and outdoor kitchens and stateof-the-art spas, where the utilities are hooked up and operating. Manhattan is also a proving ground of sorts for upscale retailers aiming to burnish their brands with their target national audience. “There are companies that are 100 years old and still don’t have a store in New York City,” said Pirch co-founder and CEO Jeffery Sears in a recent interview.
G e n e ra l G row t h Properties Inc. General Growth, which owns more than 100 retail properties nationwide, also worked with Pirch in recent years to get the retailer Jeffery Sears into other centers where it was looking to bolster its roster of high-end tenants, including the Glendale Galleria near Los Angeles and other centers in Chicago and Dallas. The latest available numbers, from the U.S. Census Bureau and the website City Data, indicate that SoHo has a median age of 36 and a median household income of just over $115,000. However, since its May opening, Sears said the new 32,000-square-foot store has attracted a wide swath of customers from well beyond the immediate “South of Houston Street” neighborhood, with visitors from throughout Manhattan’s East and West sides, along with Brooklyn and Long Island. The age range of customers has been from “36 to 81,” he said, reflecting the melting pot that typifies that city’s urban core. Its customers are looking to keep their current homes for the long term, and willing to spend a little more for amenities that help them cocoon, cook meals at home, and entertain guests in style.

are located at Westfield Corp.’s Westfield UTC mall in University Towne Center. In addition to live, interactive demonstrations of furnishings and fixtures, Sears said the company recently beefed up its web presence to help its customers connect with its in-store educational offerings, letting them register, for instance, for cooking and other home improvement classes that help maintain customer loyalty and engagement well beyond purchases. The company said it had more than $200 million in sales in 2015, which it said represented growth of 60 percent over the prior year. Pirch is projecting similar growth for 2016. Sears said the New York store was the result of more than a year of planning, and its next market targets for new stores include Miami, Fla., Boston and Washington, D.C.
Sector Sees Improving Profit Margin According to a recent report by indus-
try research firm IBISWorld Inc., U.S. furniture stores continue to rebound from the severe spending downturn spurred by the housing market crash and Great Recession of 2007-09. Sales for U.S. furniture retailers are expected to reach $59 billion in 2016, after growing annually by an average of 2.5 percent since 2011. Over the next five years, revenue is expected to grow by a slower 0.7 percent annually, reaching $61 billion by 2021. The industry’s total profit is expected to reach $3 billion in 2016, for a 5 percent profit margin — an improvement over the 3 percent margin posted in 2011. Rising consumer sentiment and discretionary spending have encouraged consumers to ramp up purchases of big-ticket home goods, including furniture. That consumer confidence is expected to help grow sales in the coming five years, in spite of concerns about falling home ownership rates, which have dropped 3.2 percent nationwide in the past five years.
Investing in Luxury Since 2013, Pirch has been minority-owned by Catterton Partners, a private equity firm based in Greenwich, Conn. Earlier this year, Catterton announced that it has partnered with the private equity arm of luxury goods maker LVMH and Groupe Arnault to create a new global private equity firm called L Catterton. Pricing on the deal was not disclosed. Officials of the three firms said the combined entity, after the deal closes later in the year, would have total assets of approximately $12 billion, making it the world’s largest consumer-focused investment firm.

Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce Connects Community SERVICE: Group
Gives Businesses Tech-Savvy Advice n By RAY HUARD
When Raul Salas went to open his own hair salon after working as a stylist for 21 years, he had no idea what to do. Salas said that he put a down payment on leasing space for his salon in Hillcrest and thought that was it. “It’s not like that; there’s so many hurTayde Aburto dles and so many different things,” Salas said. “I definitely needed help.” On a client’s advice, Salas turned to the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce and its president and chief operating officer, Tayde Aburto. “The chamber has been amazing and Tayde, as well, because he’s been connecting me to all the people needed to have my business happen,” Salas said. That included designing a website for Salas’ salon, Gallery West Hair Salon, and getting the permits he needed. “Tayde’s been walking me through the whole process,” Salas said, adding that his business is thriving, he’s hired seven stylists and he’s looking to add more.
social media presence. A lot of Latino businesses do not have that,” Aburto said. “With some of our members, we have started with creating an email account. That’s how basic we have to go.” Others might have the basics, but need help expanding their online trade, or just general help in expanding their business. Erick Magana, owner of Premium Business Films, who joined the chamber in December, said it’s been a great source of referrals. “Tayde and the Chamber of E-Commerce are always connecting me with the right people, people who I can collaborate with,” Magana said. “He introduces me to key people in the community that can give me more work.” Vidal Espinosa, chief operating office of Invictus Advisors, said that the chamber
has been an invaluable resource in helping the accounting firm improve its online presence, in referring clients and connecting them with other Latino businesses. “If we have an issue or anything, there’s members there that can answer our questions,” Espinosa said. “They have seminars on various social media, on how to do it and what not to do.” The chamber fills a critical need for Latino business owners who may need consultation on using the internet properly for business. “They think that just by having a web page or by having an ad in Craigslist or something, that’s going to work,” Espinosa said. “They don’t fully understand the capacity online has.” Building on the success of the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce, Aburto
is forming the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce Foundation (http://www. hiscec.org), which he said will have a broader focus, offering digital training and other services not directly tied to running a business. The idea is to bridge what he said is a “digital divide” between the Hispanic community and the general population. “We’re going to go more into computer literacy,” Aburto said. That could range from showing parents how to find and apply for scholarships for the college-bound children to workshops that would teach people how to look for jobs online. “Maybe three or four years from now, we’ll be able to say San Diego has the most tech-savvy Latino community in the country,” Aburto said.
1,100 Members Formed by Aburto eight years ago in San Diego, the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce has about 1,100 members. Membership fees range from $50 for students to $10,000 for a premier corporate membership. Most members pay $200, Aburto said, adding that the chamber has sold three premier corporate memberships. “So, while some business associations are struggling to recruit new members, we have been blessed by many thanks to their trust in what we do and how we do things,” Aburto said. “We are committed to deliver value and opportunities to all of our members, not just the ones that are investing big dollars in us.” The chamber’s fee for any digital services it provides varies, according to what a business needs. For example, the chamber charged Salas $800 to help develop his web site and cover his membership fee, Aburto said. About 70 percent of the chamber’s members have brick-and-mortar stores, Aburto said. According to its website, www.hiseb. com, the chamber offers a wide range of services from web design and search engine marketing to social media training and business consulting. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to have all these retail locations have a stronger online presence,” Aburto said. “If they have a good product, we want to make sure that a lot of people know about this. The more prosperous they become, that’s going to have an impact on the whole community.”
Small Business Focus Hispanic businesses tend to be small, family-owned operations with a handful of employees run by people who are unfamiliar with doing business online or have minimal experience with e-commerce, Aburto said. “Most businesses have their own website or Facebook page or some type of

Rebecca Barlow inherited two failing firms when her husband died. She turned them around and managed two of her own.
Entrepreneur Meets Challenges, Looks for More LEADERSHIP: Facing
Fears, Honing Talents Bring Several Successes n By RAY HUARD
Take risks, have faith and never give up. That’s the formula Rebecca Barlow followed in rescuing two failing companies and founding two others. “It’s all overcoming fear. Fear is the one thing that really holds people back,” said Barlow, who took over Acme Flood and On Time Experts Plumbing, Heating and Air when her husband died and she founded Bella Bambino Nannies and Ryder Executives Inc. on her own. “I just sort of did it,” Barlow said. “I kind of put one foot in front of the other and tried things and made mistakes. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you’re willing to take risks that other people might not be willing to take. A lot of people, they’re afraid to get out of their comfort zone.” “She just sees problems and fixes them,” said Lydia Vargo, who hired a nanny through Bella Bambino and also had water damage and plumbing issues in her home repaired through Acme Flood. “I would recommend her to anybody,” Vargo said. Robyn Freye, who found a nanny through Bella Bambino, said, “I think it was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.” Freye said she and her husband tried finding a nanny on their own and it didn’t work out. “We just weren’t finding people we trusted. We were getting lots of inquiries, ‘I’m, oh, you know, I’m 21 and I’m going to school and I’m looking to make money on the side,” said Freye, an advertising executive who frequently travels to her company’s New York offices. She said she was looking for someone with a little more maturity to help care for the couple’s daughter, who was 3
months old at the time. All of Bella Bambino’s nannies are mothers themselves. Working through Bella Bambino, “We found the greatest nanny ever,” Freye said. “It was just the perfect, perfect match.”
Employee Satisfaction Barlow said one of her business secrets is treating her employees well, with incentives and bonuses. “I kind of see myself as there to create opportunities for employees,” Barlow said. “It’s kind of like a camaraderie where everybody respects each other.” Regina Ramirez, an administrative assistant at Bella Bambino, said Barlow “definitely is not a regular boss that comes in and tells everybody what to do.” “She works with her employees,” Ramirez said. “She’s been through a lot so she understands how difficult situations can happen.”
Customer Satisfaction Barlow didn’t start out to be an entrepreneur. Her first job out of Palomar College was working as a receptionist, then as a sales manager for an athletic shoe company, where she learned a valuable lesson that she’s applied in her businesses — customer service is paramount. “It’s so simple — make your customers happy and exceed their expectations every time,” Barlow said. While in college, Barlow worked as a nanny, and was dismayed by how little care the agency she worked through took in recruiting nannies. “The agency had never run a background check on me,” Barlow said. “They had me come into their office, fill out their application and, zoom, I had a job with this family.” Now the mother of four, Barlow said she wanted to do better for other mothers when she set out to start Bella Bambino Nannies in 2002. She learned what it would take to start a new business through research she did on the internet, and by talking
with other people. “I just kind of pieced it together,” Barlow said. She started slowly, working out of a spare bedroom in her Carlsbad home, advertising for potential nannies, and above all, making sure to do background checks and contacting their references. Now, Bella Bambino Nannies serves clients throughout Southern California and is expanding to go nationwide, Barlow said. There have been bumps along the way and tragedy. In March 2011, three weeks after Barlow gave birth to her third child, her husband died from an accidental overdose of pain medication. Barlow said she was overcome with grief at first, but “a few months after he passed away, I started to come out of the fog. I started going into his office and sort of observing what was going on.” Her husband’s companies, Acme Flood and On Time Experts, were “failing big-time,” Barlow said.
Personnel Problems “I had to basically fire 85 percent of the staff,” Barlow said, going from a staff of 18 to a staff of three — a bookkeeper, a flood technician and a helper. In 2015, the companies had a staff of 25 and total revenues of about $3.5 million, Barlow said. Now, Barlow is starting Ryder Executives, a personnel recruiting business. “The way that came to be was I had clients that owned their own companies. They go, ‘can you help me find staff for my business?’ I said, ‘sure, why not,’” Barlow said. “It’s one of those things where I say, ‘Let go of your fears. Let the opportunities come along.’” Barlow likes to share her story with women who are struggling. “I want to show other women in tough situations that if I could have done this, having lost everything, they can,” Barlow said. “I feel like I could really help these people, encourage these people.”

Wayfinding Does More Than Direct You to a Destination TRAVEL: It Offers
Options That Bring A Sense of Place n By KATIE CALLAHAN
Signs have directed people to public attractions and businesses for decades, but now the companies who create them and the entities that benefit from them are recognizing the value of a cohesive wayfinding strategy. “Wayfinding” is a term for guiding people to an intended destination but also showcasing other locations nearby and along the Martin Flores way. Wayfinding can include street and off-ramp signs, interactive kiosks that can identify maps or events, pedestrian signs and location-based services for mobile devices. The effort usually is Brad Raulston connected with a city or region’s brand. “It starts economically energizing spaces between (Gaslamp) parking and the convention center,” said Martin Flores, principal of Urban Design and Planning for Rick Tyler Blik
Wayfinding uses a variety of methods to get you to your destination while allowing for course deviations to discover other people, places, and points of history. The push to make cities more livable, walkable and touristfriendly is a boon to wayfinding business.
Engineering Co.. “Secondary destinations are improved quite a bit, because they get more business. People are more comfortable and know they are going the right direction. If you can get people to park, get out of their car, and see what’s out there, it makes a big difference,” he said. Flores leads wayfinding efforts in eight of the company’s offices from the corporate San Diego office. He points out that
if a person is using a phone for driving or walking directions, she or he is not made aware of anything but the destination. Wayfinding initiative budgets range from $350,000 to $500,000 for a small community, $500,000 to $750,000 for a midsize city, $750,000 to $1.4 million for a large downtown, and $1.4 million to $1.9 million for a regional deployment, according to Flores. That’s to hire a design/planning team and implement the design. Flores said wayfinding is critical for tourism, making people feel comfortable navigating the area and safe enough to stay longer at their destination when they come to visit. He calls cities that encourage movement with messages between destinations “legible cities.” He said recognition of the value of wayfinding and the push to make cities more walkable and livable has driven growth in the wayfinding business in the past two years. An upcoming project for Flores is North Park.
Downtown Project Civic San Diego in March completed its $1.9 million wayfinding and rebranding project for downtown. Flores said the first wayfinding system in 1999 had 271 signs, mostly vehicular signs. Today, he said the system has 194 signs more evenly distributed, 25 map kiosks, five neighborhood district signs and 21 directional compasses in the pavement. The signage directs people to 60 locations, six times the number of location signs at the start of the project. A 2010 report from Asheville, N.C.’s Convention & Visitors Bureau showed that of 4,076 people surveyed, 87 percent would explore the city more if signage and kiosks provided directions to additional attractions. A London 2011 study found that a pedestrian wayfinding system resulted in shorter transportation times. For every dollar spent on wayfinding, the city could expect between 90 cents and $2.40 of transportation benefits in return. A 0.5 percent increase in extended-stay or return visitors could increase tax revenues by $50 million a year.
National City Initiative National City has embarked on about a $1 million wayfinding initiative for its four districts, according to Brad Raulston, the city’s executive director of redevelopment. The project, funded primarily from local grants, is in the concept design phase. Because of National City’s two trolley stations, the city wants to direct people to transit and points of interest, such as the Frank A. Kimball House Museum, the Santa Fe Depot Museum, Pepper Park and Pier 32 Marina. “We have done a lot of work in trying to make National City healthier,” Raulston said. “Walking and biking are part of that, but we’re also talking about integrating stores that have healthy produce, giving opportunities for those businesses to have some advertising and making residents aware that these are healthy hubs, areas where you can get healthy products. That can also be our recreation centers and schools and those types of things.” Raulston said the region’s future is building inward so urban districts, such as National City, can be pedestrian- and transit-friendly. Already, he’s seen the San Diego Association of Governments, the region’s planning agency, and others use wayfinding as a smart growth tool rather than as a purely functional tool, involving health advocates, park designers and sustainability experts. Trends in wayfinding focus on user experience and technology, said Tyler Blik, principal at BLIK, a local brand communications company. His company created National City’s logo in 2007. He expects there will be 120-160 total signs when the project is complete. His company has also been contracted to create a historical timeline of National City, which could be a digital display at numerous locations. “What I’m really encouraging the city to do is not something that is chronologically, linear information, but it truly becomes experiential through each individual that comes upon it, that they can pick and choose the points of history that they want to find information about,” Blik said.

GA-ASI Looks to Build on Its Customer Base in NATO General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. wants to sell its unmanned aircraft to Germany. Work continues on a sale to the Netherlands. DEFENSE There are no Brad Graves sales yet, but the company has teamed up with a German firm to position a version of its Predator B for a potential sale to the German armed forces. The partner is Spezialtechnik Dresden GmbH. Its aircraft, called Guardian Eagle, will be built to fly safely in civilian airspace and comply with NATO’s UAV system

unmanned system for NATO. The Poway company showed off the Predator B at a big air show in Germany in early June — an event that was notable in itself. The ILA Berlin Air Show was the first time GA-ASI displayed its Predator B to the public, anywhere. (Versions of the original Predator — a smaller aircraft — are on display at museums, including the Smithsonian and the San Diego Air & Space Museum.) GA-ASI offered updates on several projects in conjunction with the German show: • The business said the Dutch company Fokker Technologies would build and service landing gear for the Predator B. So far, the Netherlands has not bought the Predator B, but it is a potential customer. GA-ASI said the deal shows its commitment to getting European content into its aircraft. The Poway company also said it might work with Fokker to develop a next-generation landing gear for its Predator family. Fokker is an old name in aviation and has concentrated on landing gear in recent years. It supplies that component to the U.S. and allied forces’ newest fighter, the F-35 Lightning II. U.K.-based GKN PLC acquired Fokker late last year. • GA-ASI said its next-generation Predator B “Big Wing” model set an endurance record with a 37½ hour flight in the California desert earlier this year. The flight did everything a typical Predator flight would do. The aircraft’s wingspan is 13 feet longer than the conventional Predator B, and the model carries more fuel. More tests are planned. GA thinks the Big Wing might be able to stay in the air for up to 42 hours. • In other news, GA-ASI said that the company and its Italian customer are working to integrate an Israeli sensor, the RecceLite from Rafael, onto an Italian Predator B. Flight tests are scheduled for early 2017. • GA-ASI offered an update on tests of anti-collision technology (called a detect and avoid system) aboard a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Predator B model, noting the tests were successful. Customs and Border Protection operates nine GA-ASI aircraft. The Poway business also released an update on its unmanned aircraft flight school that it is building in Grand Forks, N.D. With its Air Force base, the North Dakota town is a hub for unmanned aircraft. GA-ASI said it inked contracts to collaborate with the University of North Dakota Aerospace Foundation — which would provide instructors — and CAE, a Canadian company that makes Predator flight simulators. Aircraft in the Predator family actually do have pilots on the ground. With the help of satellite communications, the pilots can be tens, hundreds or thousands of miles away. “We look forward to working with UND Aerospace and CAE to meet the growing global demand for (remotely piloted aircraft) instruction,” said Linden P. Blue, CEO of GA-ASI, in a prepared statement. GA-ASI is an affiliate of General Atomics and is privately held. Send San Diego defense contracting news to

THE STARTUP PAGE Money Matters
5 Tips For Early-Stage Funding …according to Amy Conrad, veteran of investor relations and owner of Juniper Point
1 Personify The Tortoise In the early stages of fundraising, the road will be long and littered with tests of fortitude, perseverance and, most important, rejection. Slow and steady is the name of the game. More doors will close than open before you find receptive ground. Plan to completely saturate the capital-raising market, even if your idea is the hottest thing in immune-oncology or gene therapy.
2 Seek Funding From A Variety Of Sources Once you have adopted the tortoise strategy, think creatively about where you go for money. It’s OK to pursue capital through the well-worn paths of venture capital and other forward-thinking institutional investors. But work in parallel through less-traveled, nondilutive paths, as well, such as government funding and grants, angel investors, or strategic partners like large pharmaceutical companies. This will give you more flexibility and more levers to pull to obtain your funding goal.
3 Gaining Money, Losing Control Realize that not all capital is created equal. If you are fortunate enough to have a choice of which venture capitalist or strategic investor to choose from, understand what else will come with the investment. Some investors will control a percentage of the company, a board seat, etc. In the beginning, control is key. Compromising this may shift the focus outside of what is important: developing and advancing the science.
4 Think Small Think small in terms of dollars (not when it comes to the vision for the business). In the 1980s and early 1990s, certain companies were funding their R&D projects through more esoteric financing vehicles. Investors would take small bets on certain projects rather than make large investments in the actual companies themselves. This approach was effective to fund a specific program and proved to be quite successful with the commercialization of many highly successful drugs. This has since fallen out of favor, but given the current environment in the public markets, one could argue that this type of project financing should be coming back into vogue to give life to a startup.
5 Peer Evaluations Learn from your peers. Soak up their experiences and examine their battle wounds. Understanding why the proverbial hare didn’t “win the race” is crucial to devising your differentiated, creative plan for steady growth.

Been There, Learned That... LEADERSHIP:
CEOs Share Lessons They Wish They Had Known Earlier ■ By BRITTANY MEILING
The biggest annual bash for local entrepreneurs, San Diego Startup Week, launches June 13 in downtown San Diego. The popular event is expected to attract 3,000 attendees, including many startups and soon-to-be startups in the tech, biotech, and craft beer sectors. Some of the startups that were early contributors to the event, which started in 2012, have achieved considerable growth in the last four years. They’ve advanced from green entrepreneurs with negative cash flows to well-grounded businesses in the local economy. But what have they learned since? The San Diego Business Journal asked four successful CEOs of local startups: What is the one thing you wish you knew four years ago? Zeeto, an ad-tech SaaS company, is certainly shedding its “startup” moniker with incredible year-over-year growth. The company’s revenue is doubling annually, pulling in $42 million in 2015. Zeeto expects to do roughly $100 million by the end of this year. “Go Big! If I could go back four years and give myself one piece of advice it would be just that — go big. When deciding between various choices that will affect the future of your company always pick the route with more potential — even if that happens to be the riskier route. Seeing that there is far more intrinsic value in the technology we built to power our sites (than the value in the sites them-
selves), and then repositioning the company around that value point required a huge leap of faith. Now that we’ve made that leap it has paid off big time. That (raises) the question — how much more could we have grown and done if we made that move two years sooner? If you go big there is a greater chance to do amazing things. You don’t hit the important goals and achieve big things by taking baby steps.” — Stephan Goss, CEO Another local SaaS firm, Classy, developed a fundraising tool to help nonprofits raise money by streamlining the campaign launch process. It has completed over 300,000 fundraising campaigns with more than 1.5 million contributors. The company’s revenue was north of $10 million in 2015. “Don’t wait to build your sales team; 99 percent of the time, the product won’t sell itself. At C l a s s y, i t took us almost three years to really invest in a sales team. We k n e w enough about our product-market fit to have hired our first couple of reps and a sales leader about 12 months earlier, but stalled because we didn’t understand the investment well enough and assumed the product would sell itself. A great product can in fact sell itself (to some extent), but to really accelerate growth, you shouldn’t shy away from an early investment in sales. It’s extremely likely you’ll invest in sales eventually anyways, so start small and start learning how to build an efficient team early in your company’s life cycle (especially if you are a product-oriented CEO). — Scot Chisholm, CEO/Co-founder Rock My World Inc., a fitness technology company that developed a popular music app
for runners, has achieved an estimated 1.5 million downloads of Rock My Run. The company has raised at least $1.39 million in capital, according to Crunchbase. “The critical importance of metrics! Lost in the minimum viable product (MVP) o r “ q u i ck i t e ra t i o n ” mantra is the need to have re a l ly ro bust metrics and data to better inform your decisions. For aspiring entrepreneurs, especially on the software side, MVP your product but not your analytics — get those right out of the gate and your lives will be much easier.” — Adam Riggs-Zeigen, CEO TapHunter Inc., maker of web and mobile tools for bar and restaurant owners, has raised $1.5 million since its 2012 founding and now employs 40 people downtown. “With a fast-growth tech startup inevitably comes a lot of change and uncertainty. Being able to sustain constant change and u n c e rt a i n ty requires time and patience, two things that are in short supply in the startup world. I’ve personally struggled with embracing the virtue of patience over the last four years. Take up meditation, yoga, any sort of mindful practice that forces you to slow down and create head space for yourself. A very wise mentor and business coach of mine told me a quote that I’ll never forget — ‘Mel, sometimes slowing down is speeding up.’ I carry this with me daily.” — Melani Gordon, Co-founder and CEO

The U.S. Navy awarded BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair in Barrio Logan a $53.4 million contract for shipyard work on the destroyer USS Russell. The work, called a selected restricted availability in Navy parlance, includes depot-level maintenance, alterations and modifications to improve the ship’s military and technical capabilities. Work is expected to wrap up in February. The Southwest Regional Maintenance Center in San Diego awarded the contract. The Russell is one of the earliest ships of the Arleigh Burke class, first commissioned in 1991. So far the Navy has built 62 of the destroyers, and it is still building them. An additional 14 are under construction or under contract. ••• San Diego-based Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc. said that its Modular Systems Division received $6.6 million in contracts. The Pennsylvania-based division produces hardened, shipping containerlike structures that house people or equipment. As is frequently the case with Kratos (Nasdaq: KTOS), the company declined to name the customer, citing customer-related considerations and other unspecified reasons. The business said it received specialized product and hardware contract awards in support of directed energy and C5ISR programs. The initials stand for command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. ••• Fallbrook-based Straub Construction Inc. received a $46.3 million U.S. Navy contract for hangar
ECONOMIC INDICATORS UP: San Diego County hotels saw total revenue rise 3 percent from the year-ago period for the first four months of 2016, topping $812.3 million, according to the latest monthly data from research firm STR. During the January-to-April period, the average daily room rate rose 2.1 percent, to $146.73. The region’s revenue per available room (RevPar) increased 1.5 percent, reaching $111.02. Nationally during the same time, STR reported, the average room rate was $121.66 (up 3.1 percent), and RevPar was $76.08 (up 3.3 percent).
modernization and additions at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California’s San Joaquin Valley. The hangar work will accommodate the F-35C Lightning II aircraft, which the Navy plans to introduce to the fleet. Building additions will expand all of the aircraft maintenance high bay space, crews and shops space, administrative, equipment and maintenance spaces, a Pentagon statement said. Renovation will include some demolition work, asbestos and lead abatement, new finishes, roof replacement and incidental structural and secondary utility system modifications and upgrades, as well as site improvements. Work is expected to be complete in December 2017. If the Navy exercises two options on the contract, the value of the work will rise slightly to $46.8 million. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest of San Diego awarded the deal. The office received seven proposals. ••• The U.S. Navy has indicated it wants a fifth expeditionary warfare ship from General Dynamics NASSCO. The Pentagon announced that the Navy issued a $106.2 million contract to buy components that will go into Expeditionary Mobile Base 5 — part of a series of ships previously known as the Mobile Landing Platforms and Afloat Forward Staging Bases. NASSCO has not yet received an actual contract for a fifth ship, a company spokesman said. This action lets the Barrio Logan yard buy components such as engines, propeller and shafting, integrated bridge electronics, centrifugal pumps, fuel and lube oil purifiers and steering gear components. The Naval Sea Systems Command of Washington, D.C. awarded the contract. The work was not put out to bid because the Pentagon determined there was only one responsible source for the project, and no other supplies or services could satisfy Navy requirements. Shares of NASSCO’s parent company, General Dynamics, trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol GD. Military leaders plan to use Expeditionary Mobile Base ships as floating bases that U.S. Marines or special operations units can use for amphibious landings or other missions. NASSCO is working on five commercial ships as well as the fourth Expeditionary Mobile Base. The contract for the fifth Expeditionary Mobile Base — to be built around the newly ordered components — could come later this year.
MERGERS/ACQUISITIONS
Guild Mortgage Co., a private San Diego mortgage bank, said it has agreed to acquire AmeriPro Home Loans, an Austin, Texas-based mortgage company. The acquisition, expected to close July 1, will add $750 million in loan volume and 29 new Guild branches in five states. Guild has been expanding aggressively in the western U.S. in recent years, adding more than 150 branches and satellite offices and more than tripling its loan volume and its servicing volume since 2010. This latest purchase will make Guild one of the largest private mortgage lenders in Texas, according to the company. AmeriPro has been a subsidiary of an Austin-based investor, Tenura Holdings Inc., since 2008. AmeriPro President Chad Overhauser, who formed the company in 2003, will become a regional vice president at Guild, leading the AmeriPro branches in California, Colorado, Florida, Oklahoma and Utah. Founded in 1960, Guild is now a national firm with more than 230 branches and satellites in 25 states.

Internships also benefit the organization; if the intern did well in whatever they were working on, they might make a good employee. Even if the intern is doing mundane tasks like filing or organizing that still benefits the company; the intern is doing tasks or work that no one else may not want to do. Think about it like this, what would a city look like without garbage collectors? No one really wants to be a garbage collector, but they are vital for any city. It is also important to keep in mind that interns are usually there to learn; they are usually inexperienced students looking for exposure to the work world.
C-SUITE/LEADERSHIP
Laurie Coskey, a North Park resident with leadership experience in the faith, civics and education communities, has been named president and chief executive Laurie Coskey officer of United Way of San Diego County. “Laurie wrote her doctoral dissertation on United Way, and has a firm understanding of our role in the community and strategic vision,” said Jacqueline Parks, chairwoman of United Way of San Diego County’s Board of Directors. “She brings with her strong, long-term relationships in the San Diego community and a reputation as a key collaborator, working across party lines.” Coskey, an ordained rabbi, comes to the agency from the Interfaith Center for Worker Justice of San Diego County, where she has served as executive director since 2001. She is chairwoman of the San Diego Community College District trustee advisory council and the San Diego Convention Center Corp. board of directors. Coskey completed her undergraduate studies at Stanford University and earned her doctorate at the University of San Diego.

There is a point in high school where a student realizes that whatever they do from that point by Emilio Trujillo forward will SOeC Intern be setting them up for their future. When I realized this, I stepped up and took on an internship at Securing Our eCity. I knew that here I would be able to learn many different things that would accelerate my career in cyber. I also knew coming in that I would be able to establish connections that would help me get a job in the future. All these things ended up being true, because I did my best and tried my hardest in all things assigned to me; I was also learning new things on the fly. This could be true for any student as long as that student is passionate and ready to learn many new things. Internships are extremely beneficial for students because it is a learning experience, it exposes them to the work world, they can display their talents, it can help by getting them into college or get a job, and they can establish connections with people that can potentially hire them.

BYE, DESIGN Architectural Style Often Takes Back Seat to Practical And Price Considerations, Creating Buildings That Blend in Rather Than Stand Out BY KATIE CALLAHAN
I
ncreased focus on volume, cost and function over style and appeal has led to a less regionalized architectural style in San Diego and other cities. Architects and San Diego planners must wrestle with the question of how important a recognizable architectural style is in relationship to minimizing costs and maximizing amenities for new, large building projects. Bigger, national architectural firms are taking on the larger construction projects. This is among the factors making the style of buildings less distinctive, said Victor Navarro, an architect with his own firm, Taller Emergente Architecture. Navarro also teaches at the NewSchool of Architecture + Design. “Everything (in the built environment)… is becoming less regional than it at one point might have been,” Navarro said.
Watered Down In the frequently used design-build model, architects and contractors must create a plan together. Such a model results in less time and money for “cutting-edge architecture,” Navarro said. It leaves less chance to preserve a distinctive architectural form for San Diego. From an architectural perspective, when doing design-build, sometimes the design gets watered down after considering expenses by the contractor, said Kevin Bussett, public awareness commissioner for the American Institute of Kevin Bussett Architects San Diego and an architect at Safdie Rabines Architects. “A lot of it comes down to the client appetite for novel design,” he said.

With efficiency now a priority for many entities, the more distinctive design projects in the market do stand out. Among them are the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California (above), Pacific Gate (below left, under construction) and the Qualcomm AY Building.

CROSS BORDER XPRESS Location: U.S.-Mexico border Developer: Otay Tijuana Ventures LLC Project size: 86,000 square feet Approximate cost: $44 million
Photos courtesy of Harrison Photo
The Cross Border Xpress in Otay Mesa links the U.S. and Mexico via a skybridge, offering convenient access to the Tijuana International Airport. CBX is the only privately financed crossing between Mexico and the U.S.
Design Start date: February 2011 Completion date: December 2015 Contractor: Turner Construction Co. Lead architect: Stantec Architecture Inc., Legorreta y Legorreta, Mexico (associate architect) Engineers: MEP: Stantec Consulting Services Inc. Structural: Bridge – Kleinfelder; Building - Hope Amundson Structural Engineers Civil: Latitude 33 Planning and Engineering Distinguishing features: The building contains departures and arrivals functions, plus a 390-foot pedestrian skybridge over the border. The building façade is one of the key design elements featuring red limestone that takes on a deep, inky hue when it rains. Named “Sangre de Toro” (“Bull’s Blood”), the limestone was extracted in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and crafted through an extensive process where most of the work, including polishing of each stone tile, is performed by hand. Noteworthy: CBX is the only privately-financed border crossing between U.S. and Mexico, averaging about 2,300 passengers a day. Central to the project is a new US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) facility, the first of its kind to be built since the signing of North America Free Trade Agreement in 1994. The Mexican side of the bridge was built by Mexican contractors, while the U.S. side was built by U.S. firms. Bridge structural sections range from 55 to 75 tons of steel.
Photos courtesy of Harrison Photo
CBX cost $44 million. The Mexican side of the bridge was built by contractors from that country, and the U.S. side was built by United States’ contractors.

The Top 5 Questions You Need Answered Before Your Business Goes Solar form of lower utility rates, in terms that vary between 15 to 25 years.
For-profit and nonprofit business interest in solar has never been higher. And the trend, by all accounts, is expected to continue for quite some time. With all smart investments, you’ll want to execute a solid financial strategy and project a positive ROI. Also, insist on solid answers to your inquiries about solar basics before making this important decision. 1. How can solar help make my overhead costs more predictable? Taking your business solar can help not only reduce or virtually eliminate your electricity costs, but generating your own power provides cost certainty moving forward with a solar system that offsets a majority of your electric bill. Baker’s corporate headquarters in Escondido has had an 85kW solar system on its roof since Simply installing energy generation on 2009. Over 25 years, it will reduce the CO2 emissions equivalent of planting 41.3 acres of trees. your building will provide a measurable reduction in the overhead costs associated with your utility expenses. Expect to have your utility overhead under control for at least the next 20 years. 2. How can switching to solar increase my organization’s bottom line? Thanks to generous tax incentives, simple payback for solar projects ranges between five to seven years for most for-profit businesses who are looking to buy a system outright. For companies looking to have no up-front cost, other financing options exist as well that still save you big money each month. 3. What is a PPA? A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) basically replaces your existing utility with a solar power system. When you have a PPA, you only pay for the power generated from the system and a third party owns and maintains it. They take the tax credits and depreciation and pass the savings along to you in the
4. Do the systems require maintenance? Yes and no. Systems in dusty or dirty environments may require periodic scheduled cleaning. However, in most areas, rain a couple of times a year may be sufficient to clean solar arrays. Other than cleaning modules with water, a periodic checkup is recommended to ensure the system is performing optimally. 5. Is my facility a good site for solar? A perfect question and an answer that is dependent on several factors. The ultimate answer is based on how much sun your location gets; whether you’re interested in a roof mount or ground mount and your building’s orientation is to the sun.

FAULT LINE PARK Location: Downtown/East Village Developer: Civic San Diego and Pinnacle International Development, Vancouver BC

The design of Fault Line Park expresses the geology of the site with its path tracing the Rose Canyon Fault’s location in the area.
Project size: 1.5 acres, 57,000 square feet Approximate cost: $5 million Start date: 2003 Completion date: August 2015 Contractor: De La Fuente Construction Inc. Lead architect: Spurlock Poirer Landscape Architects (park); Perkins & Co. Architecture & Urban Design, Vancouver and San Diego (Café Halcyon); IBI Architects, Vancouver (Pinnacle Towers); Living Lenses, Artist Engineers: Mechanical / Plumbing: Sterling Cooper & Associates Electrical: Arnold Nemetz & Associates / HLB Lighting Civil: Sterling Land Services; Structural Engineering: Glotman Simpson Distinguishing features: The park owes its existence to an earthquake fault line. A transfer of development rights on what was unbuildable land created the financing for this 1.5 acre park in San Diego’s East Village neighborhood. The design expresses the site geology by tracing the fault line with the park’s main pathway and offsetting geometries to suggest the shifting of the earth. Interesting facts: This project (park and adjacent residential tower(s)) has been a public/ private collaboration — something that hasn’t really been done in San Diego — between Civic San Diego and the private developer. There is a clear partnership between the city and developer to share maintenance and security obligations.
Fault Line Park offers muchneeded open space to East Village residents. The city and developer Pinnacle International share maintenance and security obligations.

Developers are more driven by the cheapest way to build and meet building and energy codes, according to Bastiaan Bouma , executive director and chief executive officer of the American Institute of Architects’ San Diego chapter. Such priorities do not lend themselves to innovative design, except in residential Bastiaan Bouma building.
Climate’s Control Even the weather in San Diego also contributes toward generic buildings. Bussett said the climate in San Diego defies the need to be artistic, whereas in places like Scandinavia, extreme temperatures create a critical regionalism demand. San Diego contractors commonly use tilt-up concrete construction. Tilt-up concrete construction builds the pad of the building and pouring the walls directly on the pad and tilting it up with a crane. It uses concrete as a building material rather than steel. According to an article in Architectural Review, San Diego construction primarily attends to economic costs, construction and labor. It requires that architects do less formal design experimentation and instead explore construction methods. Generic design triumphs over local distinctiveness. Bouma said this isn’t unique to San Diego. Office and commercial developers must decide between maintaining the

building and creating a signature look. Developers now work toward efficiency per square foot and a focus on amenities over design. “For the (tall) commercial and office buildings, I don’t think there’s a city in the country where you could say there is a Chicago-style tall building or a New York-style. That’s gone away,” Bouma said. “Now the globalization of engineering and design services and the rapid advancement in materials technology, people are ready to embrace it. It doesn’t really matter where it comes from.” Nevertheless, cities determine what they will allow in the planning process, Bouma said. Chicago provides an example of a city that wouldn’t let developers construct a generic, homogenized building that looks like it could be anywhere; they’re looking for distinctive contributions downtown.
San Diego Themes Therefore, a local stamp to a distinctive San Diego’s architectural brand still exists in some cases. Rob Quigley is a regionally specific architect in San Diego. His design of the downtown library showcased his idea of style in Southern California: a merging of Spanish traditions and Yankee ingenuity, Bussett said. Such architecture portrays San Diego as a stylistic frontier town with a mild climate, one that is not characterized as button up, but informal, ambiguous, unfinished with a blend of influences. He said he thinks the themes of informality, pragmatism and scrappiness resonate with a lot of San Diego design professionals. Bouma mentioned Bosa Development and Jonathan Segal as those in the field who have been design innovators. He also mentioned the new courthouses as design innovations.

The new San Diego Central Courthouse for the Superior Court of San Diego County is among the more distinct new designs.
The Qualcomm Building AY provides another example of regional specificity in architecture, Bussett said. It showcases energy efficiency and passive building with solar shading that creates different facades on the building. The building’s positioning makes it so that it couldn’t really exist anywhere else. Creating a sense of place in a city may allow for that to change, to develop a regional character, he said. That would come from above the architect and contractor, at the urban planning level. “The city sets the tone,” Bussett said. “If the city is pro-business or pro good design, it smooths the way for a lot of projects.”

Mad Catz Ability to Continue as Going Concern Questioned TECH: Peripherals
Maker Reports Loss Of $11.6M for Year ■ By BRAD GRAVES
Mad Catz Interactive Inc. closed the books on a disappointing year, despite the apparent promise of its fall release of peripherals for the latest installment of the “Rock Band “videogame. In its annual securities filing released June 2, the company’s auditor expressed doubt about Mad Catz’s ability to continue as going concern. CEO Karen McGinnis, who took the helm in February, vowed to make fiscal 2017 better. Mad Catz (NYSE: MCZ) posted
a net loss of 16 cents per share for fiscal 2016. Weaker than expected consumer demand for “Rock Band 4” led to lower gross profit margins and higher expenses, according to David McKeon, the company’s chief financial officer. The Scripps Ranch maker of computer game peripherals reported a fourth quarter net loss of $7.3 million on net sales of $17.1 million. In the same quarter one year ago, Mad Catz reported net income of $5.6 million on net sales of $16.6 million. The company’s fiscal year ends March 31. Expenses in the recently ended fourth quarter included a $3 million charge for restructuring and severance. With the restructuring, the company said it expects to save $6 million to $7 million a year going forward. For the year, Mad Catz reported a
net loss of $11.6 million on net sales of $134.1 million. In fiscal 2015, the company reported net income of $4.7 million on net sales of $86.2 million. Revenue grew substantially in fiscal 2016 but so did cost of sales. Gross profit in 2016 was 6 percent less than 2015. KPMG LLP said in Mad Catz’s annual securities filing that “the company’s recurring losses from operations and liquidity position raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.” “The past few months have been an incredibly busy time at Mad Catz, a time of great change that we are confident will result in improvements across key operational and financial metrics,” McGinnis said in a prepared statement issued June 2. The board elevated McGinnis from CFO to CEO in February after CEO
Darrin Richardson stepped down. Mad Catz’s chairman, Tom Brown, also resigned in February. “Each of our initial objectives has been executed with incredible speed, many of them already showing a positive impact on the company’s operations and financial results,” McGinnis said. “Looking ahead, we’re starting the new fiscal year with a strong management team in place and with smart and dedicated employees who have already begun executing our vision and strategy. We believe fiscal 2017 will be a year of hard work, steady improvement and execution. Our future will be based on our ability to innovate, execute and make continued progress towards sustainable and profitable growth.”

president of National University System Institute for Policy Research in San Diego. Generally, Bruvold said diehard Chargers fans who had hoped to make the San Diego mayoral election a referendum on incumbent Kevin Faulconer — on grounds that he has not been as avid as Bolts fans about keeping the Chargers in town during the past two years — were likely disappointed. Faulconer easily won re-election, capturing 58 percent of the vote against two primary opponents. Faulconer in recent weeks has emphasized nuts-and-bolts issues such as street and sidewalk repairs, and another winner on the June 7 San Diego ballot was Proposition H. That relatively low-profile city ballot measure, approved with nearly 65 percent of the vote, is a charter amendment that will earmark a portion of existing sales tax revenue to an infrastructure fund, to cover improvements to streets, sidewalks, bridges and other public amenities. Proposition H was supported by businesses including those involved in development and construction. While there were no official polls at press time to show it, Bruvold said the city results could bode well for issues such as a countywide infrastructure measure, which the San Diego Association of Governments is expected to place before voters in November. There was very little ambiguity in the city results for Proposition I, which immediately raises San Diego’s minimum wage from $10 to $10.50, subject to official certification of ballot results in the next 30 days. It also requires all workers to be eligible to earn up to 40 hours annually in paid sick leave. With all precincts counted, Proposition I passed by a vote of 112,770 (63.22 percent) to 65,614 (36.78 percent). The San Diego wage hike kicks in ahead of a recently enacted California increase in the minimum wage, taking it from $10 to $10.50 on Jan. 1, 2017. The state move follows that hike with further annual increases until the minimum wage reaches $15 in 2022. The state measure gives businesses with 25 or fewer employees an additional year to begin complying with the wage increases, a provision not included in the city measure. California joined New York to become the first two states pushing toward a $15 minimum wage. The San Diego minimum wage hike was originally approved by the City Council in
California’s Wage Increase In April, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a Legislature-approved hike in the state’s minimum wage. Among the changes: Raises the state’s minimum hourly wage from $10 to $10.50 on Jan. 1, 2017. Raises the minimum to $11 on Jan. 1, 2018, then by $1 annually until it reaches $15 in 2022 Gives businesses with 25 or fewer employees an additional year to begin complying with the wage increases. Allows the governor to delay future state increases by one year in the event of an economic downturn. Source: California Legislature
2014, but an organization known as San Diego Small Business Coalition successfully gathered enough referendum signatures to place the measure on the June 2016 ballot. The 3,500-member coalition included operators of stores, restaurants, dry cleaners and other service businesses, and was backed by organizations such as the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. “The net results of this new policy will be less jobs for San Diegans,” said Jason Roe, spokesman for the San Diego Small Business Coalition, in an email. “Throughout the city, we are seeing aggressive moves toward automation, increases in prices, and employers asking employees to do more work for the same pay. We will regret this decision.” A chamber spokeswoman said the chamber would not be issuing a formal response. Supporters of the city’s minimum wage increase said the move was needed to allow residents to keep up with rising costs for housing and other basic living expenses, after several years of stagnant wage growth for entry- and mid-level workers. Opponents maintain wage hikes will force businesses to cut down on hiring, reduce workers’ hours and pass the added costs on to consumers, while hampering local and state efforts to compete with other regions and attract job-producing companies. Wendy Patrick, a business ethics lectur-
er at San Diego State University, said the upcoming city and state minimum-wage hikes going forward could actually cut two ways for the region’s crucial tourism industry. While they will raise labor costs, the pay and sick-leave components should help encourage retention of skilled workers, in turn helping to reduce training and other turnover costs associated with replacing those employees. Patrick, who is also an attorney, noted that good customer service, provided by happy and long-tenured workers, is crucial to the operations Wendy Patrick of high-end hotels, restaurants and other businesses that rely on repeat business, which ultimately impacts the San Diego region’s ability to compete. Patrick said San Diego’s situation will be watched closely by cities in other regions that have tourism as an economic driver, and also by other industries outside of hospitality and tourism. “Because of the tourism and customer service focus of San Diego, the wage issue might have a different impact here than it might have in other big cities,” she said. Among those who view the June 7 minimum-wage vote as a clear negative
for business is local hotel operator and consultant Robert Rauch. “Hotels and restaurants are probably going to be hit the hardest of all industries by this,” said Rauch, CEO of San Diego-based consulting and management firm RAR Hospitality. Rauch, who also owns two Hilton-branded hotels in Carmel Valley, said he has not yet made his own staffing decisions in response to the minimum wage increase. But he noted that his and other hotel companies already offer competitive pay and benefits to attract highly Robert Rauch skilled workers. When it comes to the larger pool of entry-level, lower-skilled workers, he said many hotels and restaurants will likely opt to trim hiring, reduce hours or seek ways to automate more of their operations. Some U.S. firms have already begun moves to boost automation in response to minimum-wage hikes in several cities and states. For instance, the Ohio-based fast-food chain Wendy’s , which has several San Diego County locations, recently announced that it will be adding self-service ordering kiosks to more than 6,000 restaurants nationwide.

early April, Goodman did not elaborate on the reasons for his planned exit, but said his departure was “necessary based on how I want to approach the next chapter of my life.” Goodman, who joined the company as chief operating officer in December 2005, said he would be working over the next six months with the Navarra family to assure a smooth transition. Senior Vice President Jim Navarra, who is part of a third generation of Navarras now involved in the company’s growing operations, said Goodman will continue to serve as president and CEO as Jerome’s conducts its search for his successor. In late May, Jerome’s opened its latest store in Fountain Valley near Santa Ana, its third in Orange County and the seventh showroom location to open outside of its home base of San Diego County. Navarra said the Jim Navarra company is “very encouraged” so far with the Fountain Valley store’s performance and is expecting strong customer response for the long term as it continues to grow its market share in Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. All of its stores are in Southern California. “Our growth strategy has not changed,” Navarra said in an email. “We will continue to expand in a pragmatic and deliberate way, looking for opportunities while ensuring we continue to provide the same excellent customer service and value to
Jerome’s Furniture’s Corona store in Riverside County is shown here. The San Diego-based retailer recently opened in Fountain Valley, its third Orange County store and 12th showroom location in Southern California.

our customers, no matter our size.” Navarra said consumer preferences have been trending in recent years toward lighter fabrics and finishes, and toward higher-ticket items. However, customers remain budget-conscious, and the company is seeing increasing demand for items such as its Jerome-branded mattresses. Overall, he said the retailer’s consumer slant remains Lee Goodman “laser-focused on value,” with its longtime strategy of daily regular competitive pricing rather than temporary promotional discounts.
The 2016 list also included San Diego-based Mor Furniture for Less, placing at No. 30, down one notch from 29th in last year’s ranking, with estimated 2015 sales of $324 million. Furniture Today said the Top 100 retailers as a group saw sales rise 11 percent in 2015 over the prior year, topping $41.8 billion. Jerome’s has ranked steadily among Furniture Today’s Top 100 since 2005, when it posted sales of $106.3 million. It ranked 18th among San Diego County’s largest private companies based on revenue in the San Diego Business Journal Book of Lists for 2013, the most recent year for which Jerome’s submitted financial data. Jerome’s Furniture — now in business for 62 years and led by Chairman Jerome “Jerry” Navarra, Jim’s father — operates a central distribution center and corporate offices in Rancho Bernardo, along with five showroom stores throughout the San Diego region.
A Top 100 Ranking The strategy appears to be paying off. According to the industry news publication Furniture Today, Jerome’s finished 2015 with estimated sales of $196.9 million, ranking No. 43 on the publication’s recently released 2016 list of the nation’s Top 100 furniture retailers. It moved up six slots from its No. 49 ranking on last year’s list.

Tech Is Part of Sales Force In addition to ubiquitous print and TV ads featuring Jerry Navarra as the friendly face of the company, Jerome’s Furniture has taken steps in recent years to boost its social media profile in venues including Facebook and Twitter, and it offers online and print versions of its
own home design magazine. It has also added a live chat feature to its website, among other efforts to enhance customer service. At its Rancho Bernardo distribution center, for instance, officials previously said the company invested significantly in system improvements allowing customers to track orders in real time and receive more precise delivery windows, as the company took in-house several functions that had been handled earlier by outside third parties. In the past year, it has bolstered its digital and mobile advertising, including recent use of Google analytics programs to track store visits and adjust inventory to customer demand trends. While Jerome’s no longer has an active presence in downtown San Diego, where the company was founded in 1954 by a group that included Jerry’s father, also named Jim Navarra, a multiblock area of former warehouse properties still owned by the Navarra family is now being developed as the mixed-use Makers Quarter in East Village. Apartment, office and other commercial projects are in various planning and construction stages within Makers Quarter, under a development team chosen by the Navarras, known as L2HP.

ViaSat: from page 1
The American Airlines win is especially notable — and it may not be the last. “We hope to see a lot more from American,” company President Rick Baldridge said in an interview June 8. “… I don’t think American is going to stop this evolution to high-quality broadband.” ViaSat said on June 3 that it will provide satellite Wi-Fi systems on 100 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for American. The Rick Baldridge first of the 737s is scheduled to go into service in September 2017. ViaSat declined to offer financial terms of the deal. However, Chris Quilty, an analyst with finanChris Quilty cial services firm Raymond James & Associates Inc., estimated the company will see hardware revenue of $250,000 to $400,000 per aircraft, and monthly service revenue of $5,000 to $6,000 per aircraft. Quilty called the deal “an important strategic win.” Much of American’s fleet offers internet to passengers through a service offered by Chicago-based Gogo LLC. Earlier in the year, American filed legal papers to drop its deal with Gogo (Nasdaq: GOGO) because ViaSat could offer better service. Since then, the two companies have settled that dispute.
JUNE 13, 2016
Local breaking news: www.sdbj.com
Carlsbad-based ViaSat Inc. will provide satellite Wi-Fi systems on 100 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for American Airlines.
American recently agreed to let Gogo upgrade 134 existing Airbus A319 and A320 jets with Gogo’s next-generation Wi-Fi technology, called 2Ku, according to published reports.
12 to 20 Megabits Per Second ViaSat’s system offers internet speeds of 12 megabits per second to 20 megabits per second to every passenger in an airliner’s cabin, according to a company spokeswoman. In a recent interview, ViaSat’s Baldridge said 2Ku is “not even close” to what ViaSat can offer. A Gogo securities filing from June 3 says American has a new internet agreement with Gogo, but that American may pull Gogo service from 550 of its aircraft at the airline’s option. ViaSat’s other airline customers include JetBlue, United and Virgin America. In
February, ViaSat inked a deal to provide in-flight internet service on Qantas Airways by 2017. Financial terms were not disclosed. Separately, ViaSat announced on June 6 that Singapore-based ZettaJet will offer ViaSat in-flight internet service on its Bombardier Global ultra-long-range business aircraft.
Military Minded ViaSat also recently received a federal contract award that could be worth up to $73.2 million over two years to provide in-flight internet service to senior U.S. government leaders. The deal includes service to the U.S. Air Force’s VC-25A aircraft, the special model of Boeing 747 that carries the president of the United States. (The aircraft is designated Air Force One only when the president
is aboard.) The deal covers a variety of other aircraft that carry high-level military leaders and members of the president’s cabinet. Under the deal, ViaSat will provide satellite communications on the Ka and Ku bands — two frequency bands roughly akin to television channels. ViaSat was the only company to submit a proposal for the firm-fixed-price contract awarded by the Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. ViaSat also recently scored a military hardware win. During a late May trade show in Ottawa, Canada, the Carlsbad company announced that it started delivering Small Tactical Terminal software-defined radios to that country’s armed services. Deliveries began in March and financial details were not disclosed. Ken Peterman, an executive in ViaSat’s government systems business, called it “a monumental award” for the company, as it was the first award for such terminals from Canada. In addition, it’s the first time such terminals have gone on Canada’s CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Royal Canadian Air Force uses the Aurora — which is similar to a Lockheed P-3 — for various tasks, including patrol of the wide open spaces on the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic oceans. The radios operate on the Link 16 network, also used by Canada’s CF-18 Hornet aircraft, the country’s frigate warships and its fixed and mobile ground stations. The Link 16 system also means that the Auroras can trade information with aircraft, ships and other assets from the United States and NATO countries. General Dynamics Mission Systems – Canada is prime contractor on the deal while ViaSat is a subcontractor.

Coronado Cays a Slice of Heaven on Some Very Nice Earth “One of the best locations on Earth” is what the original owner said of a home in the Coronado Cays development to Jay Becker, a Realtor with LUXURY REAL ESTATE Pacific Sotheby’s International Stephanie R. Glidden Realty. Becker said the original owner of his listing at 1 Spinnaker Way was the co-founder of Century 21 Real Estate, Arthur Bartlett. Bartlett co-founded Century 21 in 1971 with his partner, Marsh Fisher. The company grew to be one of the world’s largest residential real estate sales organizations and is now a subsidiary of Realogy Holdings Corp. “Often, folks that are in real estate have the choice of choosing what they know to be the best location,” said Becker, who has 25 years in real estate. “This was his retirement spot, and he chose to live there for the remainder of his life.” The Coronado Cays are on Coronado’s Silver Strand, which is a narrow, seven-mile-long isthmus four miles south of the village of Coronado on one end and connecting to Imperial Beach on the other. Becker’s listing was one of the earliest custom homes in the community. On approximately a third of an acre, the home is 9,380 square feet with eight bedrooms and nine baths. The asking price is in a range from $11.9 million to $12.9 million. Originally designed by Los Angeles County-based builder Aron Issac Katsof in 1989, the home underwent extensive renovation when the current owner bought the property in 2013. “The difference between what that structure looked like before and now is on a whole different level,” said Becker, who also has a background in architecture. “Now, it’s very current with soaring walls of glass, skylights throughout and stunning contemporary finishes.” Surrounded by lush landscaping, it has unobstructed bay and channel views from nearly every room. Becker credits custom home-builder Gary King of Lakeside-based JC King Enterprises Inc. and San Diego-based architect Fred Gemmell of Matrix Design with the spacious and open floor plan, including two casita guest suites, a home theater, a newly added architectural pool, a rare 100-foot private boat dock and more than 300 feet of open bay and channel frontage. “Fred Gemmell is as much of an artist as he is an architect,” Becker said. “He’s really creative and I have to give him credit for some of the most recent finishes. He brought in the absolute most current wood embellishments and the use of onyx and quartz; it’s really stunning, stunning work.” King Enterprises and Matrix Design also worked on the remodel of another of Becker’s listings, at 4 Spinnaker Way. The nearby property is at the end of the same cul-de-sac as 1 Spinnaker and is 4,100 square feet, four bedrooms and five baths. The three-level home also has a 100-foot private boat dock. The asking price is $4.85 million. Becker said the Cays are made up of 10 distinct villages. The original lots in

the Cays were sold in the early 1970s and some homes were built, but the boom of development occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Early on, there were a few developers who built the majority of the original homes. He said there are some townhome communities and those are the lowestcost units. Several homes are detached, but have a similar style to them so they look somewhat homogeneous with minor differences. “Many of the desirable water-facing lots are being replaced by larger, and more contemporary, high-design and feature-rich structures,” Becker said. Many of the homes in the Cays have boat docks right outside their doors and easy access to San Diego Bay. The community is the only such marina south of Newport Beach.
Another interesting home in the Coronado Cays is a listing by Janice Clements, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. Clements is a San Diego native and has lived in Coronado since 1993. The property is at 15 Green Turtle Road with three bedrooms, three baths and is 3,675 square feet. The asking price is $3.195 million. What makes it interesting is that it was the last design by John Lautner, one of America’s most important contemporary architects. It is also the only Lautner-designed structure in San Diego County. Lautner apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright for six years and is known for several iconic properties such as the Bob Hope house in Palm Springs. The Hope mansion is on a
hilltop overlooking the Coachella Valley just east of downtown Palm Springs. The otherworldly structure at 2466 Southridge Drive is 23,000 square feet with 10 bedrooms, 13 baths and is currently on the market for $25 million by Patrick Stewart of Patrick Stewart Properties. Lautner was 82 when he designed the home in 1993 on Green Turtle Road in the Cays, and he died a year later. While each of Lautner’s designs is one of a kind, the Green Turtle Road design is reminiscent of his trademark approach to architecture that combines concrete, glass and wood, creating a modern, but comfortable home befitting one of the best locations on Earth.

COMMENTARY
Editorials, letters, columns and other opinions
Price Hikes Just Start of Wage Increase Impacts The debate surrounding an increased minimum wage is a longstanding one, and it’s unlikely to disappear anytime soon. In March COMMENTARY 2016, Gov. Jerry Brown committed Debra Rosen California to raising its minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2022. Consequently, you may have already found yourself asking the local barber, barista, or restaurant employee about a sudden hike in their prices. More often than not, their response is, “It’s because of the minimum wage increase.” California’s new legislation is one of the most aggressive and rapidly implemented agreements of its kind, causing widespread concern that businesses and consumers may feel its impact at a similarly accelerated rate. Added to that is an even higher rate of increase for the City of San Diego, approved by voters on June 7. The most immediately affected industries are those that depend most heavily upon low wage-earning employees, such as retail and service-oriented businesses. These businesses will struggle to absorb the cost of increased

wages, and therefore must pass some or all of it on to the consumer. Perhaps your most recent car wash or haircut cost $2 or $3 more than it used to. On an individual occasion, those few dollars may not seem like much, but when applied to a larger scale and on a daily basis, the expenses add up quickly. If those price hikes are taking place after only the first mandatory wage increase ($10 in California and $10.50 in San Diego, as of Jan. 1, 2016), it brings up the question: How much higher will prices get as the additional increases are implemented?
Not a Minimal Issue Increased wages and expenses will soon affect higher-paying jobs and industries as well. If a high-school student working part time at a coffee shop is making $15 per hour, full-time employees that are educated or trained in a particular field will inevitably begin to demand higher pay for their time and skills, once again raising costs for businesses and consumers alike. In essence, no one is immune to the impact of this wage increase, and we must be cautious with the rate at which we implement it. In addition to the steady increase in prices that California will continue to experience, this legislation is
endangering jobs and hours that our citizens depend on to support themselves and their families. As business owners are squeezed more than ever before, they will be forced to make brutal cuts just to keep their businesses alive.

Technology Take Over In a recent economic development committee meeting at the North San Diego Business Chamber, multiple employers discussed the probability of purchasing technology like automated phone responses that would replace some of their lower-ranking employees, a trend that surely will be followed by other businesses throughout the region. Consequently, we run the risk of a severe spike in unemployment, which benefits no one. While the chamber is sensitive to the well-being and fair treatment of all employees, we remain concerned that California’s current plan is being applied too quickly in order for it to be good for businesses and the economy as a whole. As the old adage goes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” and it looks like this lunch may cost more than many California businesses can afford. Debra Rosen is president and CEO of the North San Diego Business Chamber.

medical coding and consulting solutions to hospitals and physician medical groups nationwide, expanding the services AMN can offer its clients. “AMN takes great pride in listening and responding to the ever changing needs of our clients through both internal innovation and strategic acquisitions,” said Susan Salka, president and CEO of AMN Healthcare, in a statement. “The addition of Peak Health Solutions will expand our workforce solutions and enable AMN to offer our clients services in accurately coding diagnosis and procedure codes, which is critical to clinical
quality reporting and the financial health of healthcare organizations.” The company intends to help health care providers improve documentation in the clinic to increase timely reimbursement. “With more than 150,000 ICD-10 codes to choose from, health care organizations have an ongoing need for coding support to reduce potential lost revenue, minimize compliance risk and augment their billing teams,” said John Morris, president of Peak Health Solutions, in a statement. ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases. Peak Health Solutions is currently bringing in about $33 million in annual revenue, according to an AMN news release. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to AMN’s earnings per share.
FDA Denies Application For S.D.-Developed Drug n By BRITTANY MEILING
The Food and Drug Administration said, “no thanks, maybe later” to deutetrabenazine, a drug with origins in San Diego that’s meant to treat symptoms of Huntington’s disease. The FDA application was submitted by Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc., a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical firm based in Israel. Teva nabbed the drug from San Diego-based Auspex Pharmaceuticals Inc. when it acquired the firm for $3.2 billion last year. The FDA rejected Teva’s drug application, asking for more information on the effects of the drug. Specifically,
the FDA asked Teva to examine the “blood levels of certain metabolites” stemming from the use of the drug. Teva said the impacted metabolites are not new, and are also seen in an already-approved treatment. New clinical trials haven’t been requested. Teva said it would respond during the third quarter, which ends in the fall. Huntington’s disease is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder, with involuntary movements as its most visible physical symptom. Teva’s drug is trying to limit the physical movements but doesn’t treat the underlying fatal disease and its other neurological symptoms.
The acquisition was funded out of cash on hand and borrowings under the company’s existing revolving credit facility. The business will be included in AMN’s “Other Workforce Solutions” segment for financial reporting purposes, the company said. The purchase of Peak Health Solutions is the latest in a long line of AMN’s acquisitions. In late 2014, the company bought Omaha, Neb.-based Avantas, a health care consulting and software company, for $16.5 million. Then in early 2015, AMN acquired three brands from OGH LLC for $82.5 million: nurse and allied health care staffing firm Onward Healthcare, national locum tenens provider Locum Leaders and Medefis, an SaaS-based vendor management system for health care facilities provider. In September 2015, AMN Healthcare paid $6.5 million to snatch Irvine-based The First String Healthcare, a leading provider of nursing staff. The acquisition strengthened AMN Healthcare’s temporary and permanent nursing manpower. It also expanded the company’s footprint by adding more than 250 of the nation’s top hospitals from The First String Healthcare’s client base. Then, in January 2016, the company acquired global health care staffing firm B.E. Smith for $160 million in cash. The acquisition expanded AMN Healthcare’s penetration across acute care hospitals, academic medical and children’s hospitals, physician practices, and post-acute care providers. The purchase is expected to add approximately $100 million in annual revenues to AMN Healthcare’s top line. These acquisitions have driven considerable growth at AMN Healthcare. Revenues surged 41 percent year-overyear from $1.04 billion in 2014 to $1.46 billion in 2015.
