We operate in a single industry and are therefore dependent upon payer reimbursement rates and market demand for advanced visualization products and services. If reimbursement rates decline or if our market does not grow as we expect, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected. As our products are accessed by additional medical professionals throughout an enterprise, the satisfaction of our customers may decrease. We sell our products internationally and are subject to various risks relating to such international activities, which could harm our international sales and profitability. We may experience fluctuations in operating results, which may result in volatility in the price of our common stock. The imposition of requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, could adversely affect our business. We are subject to various federal and state fraud and abuse laws, and if we are unable to fully comply with such laws, we could face substantial penalties, which may adversely affect our business. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business would be harmed. Consolidation in the healthcare industry could lead to demands for price concessions or limit or eliminate our ability to sell to certain of our significant market segments.
