 could impact our revenue or distract management’s attention from current offerings.

Increased emphasis on the sale and development of new features could distract us from other parts of the business and the development and sale of our core platform, negatively affecting our overall sales. We have invested and expect to continue to invest in new businesses, products, features, services, and technologies. Such endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including insufficient revenue from such investments to offset any new liabilities assumed and expenses associated with these new investments, inadequate return of capital on our investments, distraction of management from current operations, failure to adequately develop and enhance existing products and unidentified issues not discovered in our due diligence of such strategies and offerings that could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such investments and incur unanticipated liabilities. Because these new strategies and offerings are inherently risky, no assurance can be given that they will be successful.

As we enhance our platform and develop or acquire new features, our platform has also become increasingly sophisticated requiring additional technology, sales, customer support and professional services resources. In order for our customers to understand

and derive value from these new products and features, we will need to devote additional resources to train our sales personnel and provide higher-quality customer support and professional services. In addition, as our software becomes more complex, we may fail to detect errors, bugs or vulnerabilities. As we continue to develop or acquire new products and features, including those that offer legal or regulatory compliance, we may be exposed to additional unforeseen risk. 

Even if we are successful in these endeavors, diversifying our platform offerings will bring us more directly into competition with other providers that may be better established or have greater resources than we have. Our new features or enhancements could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including:

•delays in introducing new, enhanced or modified features;

•failure to accurately predict market demand or end consumer preferences;

•defects, errors or failures in any of our features or our platform;

•introduction of competing products;

•poor business conditions for our customers or poor general macroeconomic conditions;

•changes in legal or regulatory requirements, or increased legal or regulatory scrutiny, adversely affecting our platform;

•failure of our brand promotion activities or negative publicity about the performance or effectiveness of our existing features; and

•disruptions or delays in the availability and delivery of our platform.

There is no assurance that we will successfully identify new opportunities or develop and bring new features to market on a timely basis, or that products and technologies developed by others will not
