We may not be able to raise additional funds when needed for our business or to exploit opportunities
 
Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of our service offerings, market developments, and repurchases of our common stock. We may need to raise additional funds to support expansion, develop new or enhanced applications and services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. If required, we may raise such additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such financing will not be dilutive to our stockholders.
 
As widely reported, financial markets have been experiencing extreme disruption recently, including volatility in the prices of securities and severely diminished liquidity and availability of credit. Until this disruption in the financial markets is resolved, financing will be even more difficult to obtain on acceptable terms and we could be forced to cancel or delay investments or transactions that we would otherwise have made.

Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon
numerous factors, including the success of our service
offerings, market developments, and repurchases of our common

expansion, develop new or enhanced applications and services,
respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary
businesses or technologies or take advantage of unanticipated
opportunities. If required, we may raise such additional funds
through public or private debt or equity financing, strategic
relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance
that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at
