Difficult conditions in the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not know when these conditions may improve. There can be no assurance that actions of the U.S. government, Federal Reserve and other governmental and regulatory bodies for the purpose of stabilizing the financial markets will achieve the intended effect. A prolonged economic downturn could reduce our customer base and demand for our products. Risks Related to our Business and Operations We may not be able to remain profitable in the future. If we do not generate a sufficient amount of cash, which depends on many factors beyond our control, our liquidity and our ability to service our indebtedness and fund our operations would be harmed. We may need to raise additional capital. Fluctuations in our quarterly results may adversely affect the implementation of our business strategy. Competition in our industry is intense and could adversely affect our performance. Failure to retain our key executives or attract and retain qualified technical personnel could harm our business and operating results. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to technological changes and meet evolving industry standards. Unless we maintain a strong brand identity, our business may not grow and our financial results may be adversely impacted. Misuse or misappropriation of our proprietary rights could adversely affect our results of operations. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock price. Legal proceedings may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or cash flows in future periods. The Company is susceptible to business and political risks from international operations that could result in reduced revenues or earnings. Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock The trading price of our common stock may be volatile and could decline. Our charter documents and Delaware law may discourage an acquisition of New Horizons that could deprive our shareholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices. There is only a limited market for our Common Stock as a "Penny Stock."
