Because we derive approximately 66% of our revenues from the automotive industry, any downturns or challenges faced by this industry may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Because we derive a substantial portion of our revenues from customers in the automotive, appliance, computer and communications industries, we are susceptible to trends and factors affecting those industries. We are subject to intense pricing pressures in the automotive industry. We are dependent on the availability and price of raw materials. We face risks relating to our international operations. Our technology-based business and the markets in which we operate are highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively, our sales will decline. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or we infringe, or are alleged to infringe, on another person s intellectual property, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. We may be unable to keep pace with rapid technological changes, which would adversely affect our business.
