System failures, delays and other problems could harm our reputation and business, cause us to lose customers and expose us to customer liability. We depend on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues and the loss of any of our major customers would harm us. Most of our customer contracts do not provide for minimum payments at or near our historical levels of revenues from these customers. Future consolidation among our customers may cause us to lose transaction volume and reduce our prices, which would negatively impact our financial performance. If we do not adapt to rapid technological change in the telecommunications industry, we could lose customers or market share. The market for our services is intensely competitive and many of our competitors have significant advantages over us. Our continued expansion into international markets is subject to uncertainties that could affect our operating results. The costs and difficulties of acquiring and integrating complementary businesses and technologies could impede our future growth, diminish our competitiveness and harm our operations. Integrating our operations with the BSG Wireless operations may prove to be disruptive and could result in the combined businesses failing to meet our expectations. Even if we are able to successfully integrate the business of BSG Wireless into our operations, we may not realize the anticipated cost saving synergies of the BSG Wireless acquisition on the time table currently contemplated, or at all. The acquisition of BSG Wireless may result in a loss of employees. Difficulty in integrating technology may harm our business. Our failure to achieve or sustain market acceptance at desired pricing levels or transaction volumes could impact our ability to maintain profitability or positive cash flow. The inability of our customers to successfully implement our services could harm our business. Our reliance on third-party providers for communications software, hardware and infrastructure exposes us to a variety of risks we cannot control. Capacity limits on our network and application platforms may be difficult to project and we may not be able to expand and upgrade our systems to meet increased use. Financial and operating difficulties in the telecommunications sector may negatively affect our customers and our company. We may need additional capital in the future and it may not be available on acceptable terms. Our substantial indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations. Our stock price may be volatile. Regulations affecting our customers and us and future regulations to which they or we may become subject may harm our business. We may not be able to receive or retain licenses or authorizations that may be required for us to sell our services internationally. Failure to protect our intellectual property rights adequately may have a material adverse affect on our results of operations or our ability to compete. If third parties claim that we are in violation of their intellectual property rights, it could have a negative impact on our results of operations and ability to compete. If our products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we may be required to indemnify our customers for any damages they suffer. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect our results of operations. As a result of the secondary offering in November, 2007, we may be limited in our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards to reduce our future tax liability.
