Summary of Risk Factors

​

Investing in our securities involves risks. In addition to the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the information addressed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements,” investors in the Company’s securities should carefully consider the risks described in this section before deciding to invest in our securities. The following discussion highlights the risks that we believe are material to the Company, but the following discussion does not necessarily include all risks that we may face, and an investor in the Company’s securities should not interpret the disclosure of a risk in the following discussion to state or imply that the risk has not already materialized.  If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our securities would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
