We might lose key technical or management personnel, on whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise we rely. Such losses could prevent us from operating successfully under our current business plan. Our recent restructuring and the evolution of our business could place significant strain on our management systems, infrastructure and other resources, and our business may not succeed if we fail to manage such changes effectively. Our current business plan depends on increasing our LongRun2 licensing revenue, and we might be unsuccessful in our efforts to license our LongRun2 technology to other parties. We have limited visibility regarding when and to what extent our licensees will use our LongRun2 or other licensed technologies, and we might be unsuccessful in our efforts to generate royalty revenue. We face intense competition in the development of advanced technologies. Our customers and competitors are much larger than we are and have significantly greater resources. We may not be able to compete effectively. We might be unable to keep pace with technological change in our industry, and our technology offerings might not be competitive. We might experience payment disputes for amounts owed to us under our LongRun2 licensing agreements, and such a dispute may harm our business results. We might experience payment disputes for amounts owed to us under our settlement agreement with Intel, and such a dispute may harm our financial and operational outlook. We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a small number of customers and licensees, and our operating results would be adversely affected if any customer were to cancel, reduce or delay a transaction. We may be unable to protect our proprietary technologies and defend our intellectual property rights. Our competitors might gain access to our technologies, and we might not compete successfully in our markets. Any dispute regarding our intellectual property may require us to indemnify certain licensees or third parties, the cost of which could severely hamper our business operations and financial condition. We have significant international business relationships, which expose us to risk and uncertainties. Our operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuate significantly. A failure to meet the expectations of investors could result in a substantial decline in our stock price. A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline. The price of our common stock has been volatile and is subject to wide fluctuations. We might need to raise additional financing, which might not be available or might be available only on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, stockholder rights plan and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our business is subject to potential tax liabilities, which could change our effective tax rate.
