 customer, if lost, would be difficult to be replace, and our inability to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We expect that orders from a relatively limited number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our business. The mix and type of customers, and sales to any single customer, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year. If any of our significant customers do not place orders, or they substantially reduce, delay or cancel orders, we may not be able to replace the business in a timely manner or at all, which can and has had a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Major customers may also seek, and on occasion receive, pricing, payment or other commercial terms that are less favorable to us and can hurt our competitive position.

Our lengthy and variable sales cycle makes it difficult to predict our financial results.

The sales cycle for our products is often lengthy, ranging from several months to several years. In many cases potential customers must evaluate the properties of our product against their current solution, which may not be as robust as the CPS solution, but is often less expensive. In many cases potential customers must redesign other components of the end product they are making to realize the full benefits of using our products. The lengthy sales cycle makes forecasting the volume and timing of sales difficult and raises additional risks that customers may cancel or delay introduction of their end-products into the marketplace, thus affecting our demand. The length of the sales cycle depends on the size and complexity of the project, and the depth of the evaluation of our products conducted by the customers.

Because a significant portion of our operating expenses is fixed, we have and may continue to incur substantial expense before we earn associated revenue. If customer cancellations occur, they could result in the loss of anticipated sales without allowing us sufficient time to reduce our operating expenses.

Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates can negatively impact our ability to compete against foreign based competitors.

Several of our major competitors are located outside of the United States. The relative strength of the U.S. dollar compared to such competitors’ respective local currencies makes our products more expensive to our customers relative to our competitors’ prices. Such circumstances could result in a reduction in product pricing (and profitability) in order to maintain or grow our current levels of business. If we are unable or unwilling to reduce pricing of our products to the level necessary to maintain current business levels, we could see an overall reduction in revenue.

Our success is highly dependent on managerial contributions of key individuals
