In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in such company’s share price.  This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources which could negatively impact our business and financial conditions.  See Item 3. Legal Proceeding.

If securities or industry analysts adversely change their recommendations regarding our common shares or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, the trading price of our common shares could decline. 

The market price of our common shares is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business.  There is no guarantee that these analysts will understand our business and results, or that their reports will be accurate or correctly predict our operating results or prospects.

•the requirement to remove directors by a resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders having a right to attend and vote at the shareholder meeting.

These provisions could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us, even if the third-party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many shareholders.  As a result, shareholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.
