Our revenues, profitability, future growth, and the carrying value of our assets are substantially dependent on prevailing global economic conditions, generally, and on fluctuations in specific factors such as exchange rates, rates of inflation, governmental stability and the occurrence of economically disruptive events, such as war or natural or industrial disaster. Our ability to borrow and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent upon these factors. The negative impact of these factors on sales orders originating from an affected country would have an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations. For example, unfavorable changes in exchange rates can increase the cost of our products and reduce revenues, resulting in reduced profitability. In the event that our profitability is reduced and we are unable to maintain our profit margins, our ability to raise or to borrow capital may decrease. In addition, as has been recently experienced, general downturns in the technology sector worldwide have made fundraising difficult. Since the marketing of our products will require us to raise additional capital, such downturns may have an adverse affect on our ability to continue operations and to effectively market our products.
