We are dependent on the utility industry, which has experienced volatility in capital spending. Utility industry sales cycles can be lengthy and unpredictable. Our quarterly results may fluctuate substantially. A significant portion of our revenues are generated from a limited number of customers. Our acquisitions of and investments in third parties carry risks and may affect earnings due to charges associated with the acquisition. We depend on our ability to develop new products. We are facing increasing competition. We are affected by availability and regulation of radio spectrum. We may face liability associated with the use of products for which patent ownership or other intellectual property rights are claimed. We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. We may face product-failure exposure that exceeds our recorded liability. As we commence the phased implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system, unexpected problems and delays could occur and could cause disruption to the management of our business and significantly increase costs. Our key manufacturing facilities are concentrated. A number of key personnel are critical to the success of our business. We depend on certain key vendors. We are subject to international business uncertainties. We are subject to regulatory compliance. Changes in environmental regulations, violations of the regulations or future environmental liabilities could cause us to incur significant costs and adversely affect our operations. Our senior secured credit facility and the indentures related to our existing senior subordinated and convertible senior subordinated notes limit our ability and the ability of most of our subsidiaries to take certain actions. Our ability to service our indebtedness is dependent on our ability to generate cash, which is influenced by many factors beyond our control.
