Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties and all other information contained or referred to in this Form 10-K before investing in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose some or all your investment.

Risks related to our business

The environment in which we compete is highly competitive, which creates adverse pricing pressures and may harm our business and operating results if we cannot compete effectively.

Competition across all of our businesses is intense. The speed and accuracy with which we can meet customers’ needs, the price of our services and the quality of our products and supporting services are factors in this competition.

Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, more established customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing market demands and requirements. We could also be negatively impacted if our competitors reduce prices, add new features, form strategic alliances with other companies, or are acquired by other companies with greater available resources.

These competitive pressures to any aspect of our business could reduce our revenue and earnings.

Our business could be harmed if we do not successfully manage the integration of any business that we have acquired or may acquire in the future. These risks include, among other things:

 ·the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses into our ongoing operations;

 ·the potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;

 ·the potential for new cyber-security risks to existing operations that weren’t previously mitigated:

 ·the difficulty in incorporating acquired technology and rights into our products and technology;

 ·unanticipated expenses and delays relating to completing acquired development projects and technology integration;

 ·a potential increase in our indebtedness and contingent liabilities, which could restrict our ability to access additional capital when needed or to pursue other important elements of our business strategy;

 ·the management of geographically remote units;

 ·the establishment and maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
