 other
circumstances that are not within our control.

War,
terrorism, geopolitical uncertainties, imposition of tariffs on our suppliers or our products, public health issues, and other
business interruptions have caused and could cause damage or disruption to international commerce and the global economy, and thus
could have a material adverse effect on us, our suppliers, and manufacturing vendors. Our business operations are subject to
interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, nuclear power plant accidents, terrorist attacks, and other hostile acts,
labor disputes, public health issues, and other events beyond our control. Such events could decrease demand for our products, make our products more expensive for our customers or more expensive to
produce, make
it difficult or impossible for us to make and deliver products or services to our customers, or to receive products from our
suppliers, and create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain. If major public health issues, including pandemics, arise, we
could be adversely affected by more stringent employee travel restrictions, additional limitations in freight services, governmental
actions limiting the movement of products between regions, delays in production ramps of new products, and disruptions in the
operations of our vendors and suppliers. In the event of a natural disaster, we could incur significant losses, require substantial
recovery time and experience significant expenditures in order to resume operations.

Our
intellectual property may not be adequately protected.

We
seek to protect our intellectual property rights through patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements,
and licensing arrangements, but we cannot ensure that we will be able to adequately protect our technology from misappropriation or infringement.
We cannot ensure that our existing intellectual property rights will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, or rendered unenforceable.

Our
competitors may successfully challenge the validity of our patents, design non-infringing products, or deliberately infringe our patents.
There can be no assurance that other companies are not investigating or developing other similar technologies. In addition, our intellectual
property rights may not provide a competitive advantage to us or ensure that our products and technology will be adequately covered by
our patents and other intellectual property. Any of these factors or the expiration, termination, or invalidity of one or more of our
patents may have a material adverse effect on our business.
