If general economic conditions fail to improve or continue to deteriorate, potential clients may be unable to get the necessary financing to conduct business and existing clients may fail to make timely payments for services that we have performed, which could adversely affect our ability to increase overall revenues and our overall financial position. The FDA may recommend a different approach to measure drug effects on the QT interval of an ECG which could make our systems and processes obsolete and adversely affect revenue and profitability. Our failure to continue to expand our business or manage growth successfully could disrupt our business operations, increase our costs and delay implementation of our business strategies. Our business could be seriously harmed by our dependence on a limited number of suppliers. Our software products are complex and may contain undetected software errors, which could lead to an increase in our costs or a reduction in our revenues and profitability. If clinical trial sponsors and CROs do not shift from their existing paper-based methods of collecting and managing clinical trial data at investigator sites to an electronic system with centralization, we may not achieve the market penetration necessary to grow the business at expected levels.
