Consolidations in the telecommunications industry could result in delays or reductions in purchases of products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Our business is highly concentrated in the cable television portion of the telecommunications industry which is significantly impacted by technological change. We may pursue acquisitions and investments that could adversely affect our business. Our business comes primarily from a few key customers. The loss of one of these customers or a significant reduction in sales to one of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our business. We may have difficulty in forecasting our sales. Fluctuations in our Media Communications Systems sales result in greater volatility in our operating results. Products currently under development may fail to realize anticipated benefits. Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all facets of our operations. We are substantially dependent on contract manufacturers, and an inability to obtain adequate and timely delivery of supplies could adversely affect our business. Our international operations may be adversely affected by any decline in the demand for broadband systems designs and equipment in international markets. Our international operations may be adversely affected by changes in the foreign laws in the countries in which we and our manufacturers and assemblers have plants. We depend on channel partners to sell our products in certain regions and are subject to risks associated with these arrangements. Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile. We may face higher costs associated with protecting our intellectual property or obtaining access necessary to intellectual property of others. We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
