CMSIS DSP Convolution example ??HELP??

I am new to the CMSIS DSP libraries and was going through the convolution example www.keil.com/.../arm_convolution_example_f32_8c-example.html. I understand the flow and my only confusion is the output generated and stored in testRefOutput_f32[].

If I do a direct convolution using arm_conv_f32(), I get a different output (see below ConvOutput[]) which matches what I get in Matlab using the conv() function or doing an fft convolution (z=ifft(fft(x,length(x)+length(y)-1).*fft(y,length(x)+length(y)-1))) with the 2 input arrays testInputA_f32[] and testInputB_f32[].

I am a bit confused as to the different outputs and any insight would be very helpful.
