This excerpt taken from the VRSN 10-Q filed May 10, 2006.

We have faced difficulties assimilating, and may incur costs associated with, acquisitions.

We made numerous acquisitions in the last five years and will pursue additional acquisitions in the future. We have experienced difficulty in, and in the future may face difficulties, integrating the personnel, products, technologies or operations of companies we acquire. Assimilating acquired businesses involves a number of other risks, including, but not limited to:

 

  •   the potential disruption of our ongoing business;

 

  •   the potential impairment of relationships with our employees, customers and strategic partners;

 

  •   the need to manage more geographically-dispersed operations, such as our offices in the states of Kansas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, and globally in Australia, Europe, India, Japan, South Africa and South America;

 

  •   greater than expected costs and/or lower than expected revenues and the assumption of unknown liabilities.

 

  •   the diversion of management’s attention from our other businesses in identifying, completing and integrating acquisitions;

 

  •   the inability to retain the key employees of the acquired businesses;

 

  •   adverse effects on the existing customer relationships of acquired companies;

 

  •   our inability to incorporate acquired technologies successfully into our operations infrastructure;

 

  •   the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses;

 

  •   the potential incompatibility of business cultures;

 

  •   additional regulatory requirements;

 

  •   any perceived adverse changes in business focus;

 

  •   entering into markets and acquiring technologies in areas in which we have little experience;

 

  •   the need to incur debt, which may reduce our cash available for operations and other uses, or issue equity securities, which may dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders; and

 

  •   the inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies.

If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks for future acquisitions, our business could be harmed.

Additionally, there is risk that we may incur additional expenses associated with an impairment of a portion of goodwill and other intangible assets due to changes in market conditions for acquisitions. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and to evaluate other intangible assets as events or circumstances indicate that such assets may be impaired. These evaluations could result in further impairments of goodwill or other intangible assets.
