Our principal lender for our US operations has demanded repayment of all of the indebtedness that we owe the lender and we do not have the liquidity or alternative financing arrangements to pay off this lender. As a result, there is a substantial risk that we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our foreign debt is subject to subjective acceleration provisions and demand provisions that allow our lending institutions to accelerate payment at any time. If our foreign debt were accelerated under the demand provisions, our working capital and financial condition would be severely impacted. We may be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market if the price of our common shares drop under $1.00 per share. Our business is affected by global economic factors including risks associated with declining economic conditions. Costs of raw materials and energy have resulted, and may continue to result, in increased operating expenses and reduced results of operations. Climate change poses both regulatory and physical risks that could adversely impact our results of operations. We have one primary source for SR and, if that source was not available, we could not produce our primary product, HITOX. We are dependent on a limited number of customers and could experience significant revenue reductions if they use alternative sources. Foreign currency fluctuations could adversely impact our financial condition. We borrow funds from time to time from members of our board of directors for working capital purposes. We are required to make estimates and assumptions that may differ from actual results. Our competitors are established companies that have greater experience than us in a number of crucial areas, including manufacturing and distribution. Our US operation is located on the Gulf of Mexico coastline and could be adversely affected by hurricanes. Doing business in foreign countries carries certain risks that are not found in doing business in the US.
