 entering into and maintaining strategic alliances with large established third parties.

We have entered into and we may continue to enter into strategic alliances with third parties to gain access to new and innovative technologies and markets. These parties are often large, established companies. Negotiating and performing under these arrangements involves significant time and expense, and we may not have sufficient resources to devote to our strategic alliances, particularly those with companies that have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. The anticipated benefits of these arrangements may never materialize, and performing under these arrangements may adversely affect our results of operations.

We are dependent on a limited number of third-party manufacturers and key suppliers for the components used in our products. Our suppliers may not be able to always supply components or products to us on a timely basis and on favorable terms, and as a result, our dependency on third party suppliers may adversely affect our revenues.

We do not manufacture any of the products we sell and distribute and, therefore, we rely on our suppliers for all products and components, and we depend on obtaining adequate supplies of quality components on a timely basis with favorable terms. Some of those components, as well as certain complete products that we sell are provided to us by only one key supplier or contract manufacturer. We are subject to disruptions in our operations if our sole or limited supply contract manufacturers decrease or stop production of components and products, or if such suppliers and contract manufacturers do not produce components and products of sufficient quantity. Alternative sources for our components are not always available. Many of our products and components are manufactured overseas. If we are not able to identify alternative sources for our components in a reasonable time or our sole or limited supply contract manufacturers are delayed in their ability to deliver components to us due to supply chain issues or otherwise, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

In the event we need to and are unable to timely replace a major supplier with a supplier on substantially equivalent terms, we may be unlikely to meet demand for our products, which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reliance on third-party manufacturers and suppliers entails risks to which we would not be subject if we manufactured the components for our own products, including:

• reliance on the third parties for regulatory compliance and quality assurance;

• the possible breach of the manufacturing agreements by the third parties due to factors beyond our control or the insolvency of any of these third parties or other financial difficulties, labor unrest, natural disasters or other factors adversely affecting their ability to conduct their
