Competition from financial institutions and other financial service providers may adversely affect our profitability.
We are subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict our activities and adversely affect our earnings.
We depend on the services of our current management team.
We may need to invest in new technology to compete effectively, and that could have a negative effect on our operating results and the value of our common stock.
The trading volume in our common stock has been relatively low, and the sale of a substantial number of shares in the public market could depress the price of our stock and make it difficult for you to sell your shares.
Our ability to pay dividends is limited and we may be unable to pay future dividends.
