Risks Related to Our Business We have a long history of operating losses. We will need to raise additional capital, which, if through equity securities placements, will result in further dilution of existing and future stockholders. Currently we do not meet the requirements to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are delisted, it could, among other things, decrease the liquidity of our common stock, limit our ability to raise additional capital and accelerate the amounts due under our $20.8 million in outstanding principal notes at the option of the holders. We are dependent upon a significant shareholder to meet certain of our financing needs, and there can be no assurance that this shareholder will continue to provide such financing. We have a significant number of outstanding securities that will dilute existing stockholders upon conversion or exercise. Delays in product development could adversely affect our market position or customer relationships. We rely on certain vendors for a significant portion of our manufacturing. If these vendors experience delays in the production and shipping of our products, this would have an adverse effect on our results of operations. A significant portion of our semiconductor revenue is from products that are designed for consumer goods. To the extent that consumers do not purchase those products, demand for our products and our revenues will decline. We are dependent on our suppliers. If our suppliers experience labor problems, supply shortages or product discontinuations, this would have an adverse effect on our results of operations. If we fail to meet certain covenants required by our credit facility, we may not be able to draw down on such facility and our ability to finance our operations could be adversely affected . Certain events will result in our senior secured notes becoming due and payable prior to maturity or will require us to repurchase those senior secured notes prior to maturity, either of which would adversely affect our ability to finance our operations. If we are unable to renew or extend our existing credit facilities upon their expiration dates, our ability to finance our operations could be adversely affected . We depend on a few customers for a high percentage of our revenues, and the loss or failure to pay of any one of these customers could result in a substantial decline in our revenues and margins and affect our cash flow. The loss of certain of our key personnel and any future potential losses of key personnel or our failure to attract additional personnel could seriously harm our company. Our quarterly financial results are subject to significant fluctuations, and if actual revenues are less than projected revenues, we may be unable to reduce expenses proportionately, and our operating results, cash flows and liquidity would likely be adversely affected. Our markets are subject to rapid technological change, and to compete effectively in the absence of profitable operations, we must continually introduce new products, requiring a significant influx of additional capital. We may not be able to protect our proprietary information. If we are unable to respond to rapid technological change in a timely manner, then we may lose customers to our competitors. We typically operate without a significant amount of backlog, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results Our common stock price is volatile. Any acquisitions of companies or technologies by us may result in distraction of our management and disruptions to our business. We are exposed to potential risks from legislation requiring companies to evaluate financial controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Risks Related to Our Industry International sales are subject to significant risk. Our businesses are very competitive. We are exposed to general economic conditions that have resulted in reduced sales levels. If such adverse economic conditions were to continue or worsen, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely impacted.
