General economic conditions and the related deterioration in the global business environment could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We are subject to environmental laws and regulations and may have liabilities arising from environmental matters. We are dependent on the semiconductor industry which, as a whole, is volatile. We have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting are currently not effective. The lack of effective internal controls could materially adversely affect our financial condition and ability to carry out our business plan. Recent changes to senior management could affect the operation of the Company. We have been dependent on sales to one large customer; the loss of this customer or expected near-term reduction in orders from this customer has and would materially affect our sales and profitability. Our substantial international sales are subject to risk. Acquisitions may entail certain operational and financial risks. Our quarterly operating results fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Our scheduled backlog may not result in future sales. Our lengthy sales cycle could affect our manufacturing schedule and cause us to incur expenses without realizing sales. We face risks associated with manufacturing forecasts. Our stock price may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of risks. We operate in a highly competitive industry. Our inability to anticipate and keep pace with rapidly changing technological developments in the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business. We may be unable to enforce or defend our ownership and use of proprietary technology. Our business depends on management and technical personnel who are in great demand. We are exposed to significant delays and additional costs if we do not receive adequate or timely supplies of raw materials and other supplies upon which we depend. Our products may contain defects that are undetected until after our products are installed which may lead to a loss of reputation and customers.
