These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described, including the following:
    1. The industries in which we license our technology may experience a challenging period of slow growth that negatively impacts and could continue to negatively impact our business and operating results;
    2. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and as a result we could experience a loss of sales, lower prices and lower revenue;
    3. Our operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors including our lengthy sales cycle, and are not a meaningful indicator for future performance;
    4. We rely significantly on revenue derived from a limited number of licensees; and
