We operate in an industry with rapidly changing technology and, if we do not successfully modify our products to incorporate new technologies or introduce new products, we may not be able to increase revenue or our revenue may decline. We face increased competition in the marketplace that could impact our operations negatively. We face saturated or diminishing markets for some of our key products. A significant portion of our recurring revenue comes from maintenance agreements that require periodic renewals. We have risk in sustaining professional service revenue in our markets. Our Integration Solutions and Rogue Wave Software divisions rely on the effectiveness of channel partners and third-party influencers to help achieve revenue goals. If we fail to maintain and expand these types of relationships, our business may suffer. We face risks related to a formal investigation being conducted by the SEC. Goodwill, other intangible assets and capitalized software make up a significant portion of our total assets and are subject to recurring tests for impairment. We have a history of recording impairments for these assets and future impairments could adversely affect our operating results. We are exposed to infringement risks. We rely on third parties for technology in our products. Our products may be affected by unknown software defects. We may be unable to recruit and retain key employees who are essential to our operations. We could incur liabilities related to the regulation, use and misuse of information. If security of our customer and patient information were to be compromised, we could be liable for damages and our reputation could suffer. If compliance with government regulation of healthcare becomes more costly and difficult for our customers, we may be unable to increase revenue in our Integration Solutions and CareScience divisions. As we increase our international sales, we become subject to uncertainties in the international marketplace which could adversely affect our operating results. If we do not establish and maintain our brands, our reputation could be adversely affected. The trading price of our common shares has been, and may continue to be volatile.
