Cautionary Statement

          This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events and can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believes,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause these differences include the factors listed below. Although we have attempted to list these factors comprehensively, we wish to caution investors that other factors may prove to be important in the future and may affect our operating results. New factors may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of these factors, nor can we assess the affect each factor or combination of factors may have on our business.

          We further caution you not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements, because they reflect our views only as of the date the statements were made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Risk Factors




This excerpt taken from the ISNS 10-Q filed Nov 14, 2008.

Cautionary Statement:

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events and can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “expects,” “believes,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

 

 

 

historical dependence on a single product for most of our revenue;

 

 

 

 

budget constraints by governmental entities that purchase our products, including constraints caused by declining tax revenue;

 

 

 

 

continuing ability of our licensee to pay royalties owed;

 

 

 

 

dependence on third parties for manufacturing and marketing our products;

 

 

 

 

dependence on single-source suppliers to meet manufacturing needs;

 

 

 

 

failure to secure adequate protection for our intellectual property rights;

 

 

 

 

development of a competing product by another business using the underlying technology included in the patent we had licensed from the University of Minnesota, which expired in 2006;

 

 

 

 

our inability to develop new applications and product enhancements;

 

 

 

 

our inability to respond to low-cost local competitors in Asia and elsewhere;

 

 

 

 

our inability to properly manage a growth in revenue and/or production requirements;

 

 

 

 

the influence over our voting stock by insiders;

 

 

 

 

our inability to hire and retain key scientific and technical personnel;

 

 

 

 

our inability to achieve and maintain effective internal controls;

 

 

 

 

our inability to comply with international regulatory restrictions over hazardous substances and electronic waste; and

 

 

 

 

conditions beyond our control such as war, terrorist attacks, health epidemics and economic recession.

We caution that the forward-looking statements made in this report or in other announcements made by us are further qualified by the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

 

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s foreign sales and results of operations are subject to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has not hedged its exposure to translation gains and losses. A 10% adverse change in foreign currency rates would not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

At September 30, 2008, we held $5.4 million (par value) of investments comprised of auction rate securities, or ARS, with maturity dates ranging from 2031 to 2047, which were purchased from UBS ($4.0 million) and Credit Suisse ($1.4 million). All our ARS held are AAA/Aaa rated, with substantially all collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the U.S. government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Until February 2008, the auction rate securities market was highly liquid. Since mid-February 2008, a substantial number of auctions have failed. The immediate effect of a failed auction is that holders cannot sell the securities at auction. In the case of a failed auction, with respect to the ARS held by us, the ARS are deemed not currently liquid. In the case of funds invested by us in ARS which are the subject of a failed auction, we may not be able to access the funds in the near term without a loss of principal unless a future auction on these investments is successful or the issuer calls the security pursuant to a mandatory tender or redemption prior to maturity.

In the third quarter of 2008, both UBS and Credit Suisse announced settlement offers with governmental authorities in which the banks agreed to repurchase the ARS from their clients at par. Based on the information made available from the banks, we believe that the repurchases of our ARS will be completed by the end of January 2009. While we believe that the repurchases are highly probable to occur, we have determined the proper accounting for these investments is to continue to consider them long-term and temporarily impaired until such repurchases are completed.

At September 30, 2008, there was insufficient observable ARS market information available to determine the fair value of our investments. Therefore, we estimated fair value by using broker quotes. Based on this analysis, we recorded an unrealized loss of $449,000 in other comprehensive income ($297,000 net of tax) related to our ARS investments. The ARS investments are pledged as collateral for our bank debt.

Credit Suisse purchased the $1.4 million of ARS held in our account at par in November 2008.
