 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
   We are incurring substantial operating losses, and we anticipate additional future losses.
   We have substantial cash requirements to fund our operations, research and development efforts and
capital expenditures. Our capital resources are limited and capital needed for our business may not
be available when we need it.
  We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant
downturns.
