Risk Factors
RISKS INCLUDE:• That future revenue and earnings may not be achieved as expected.• Potential impairment of our intangible assets, including goodwill.• The risks to our particular electronics and technology sector of economic instability and a slowdown in consumer spending,
particularly given the current economic slowdown.• The effects of customer or supplier bankruptcies or insolvency. • The effects that current credit and market conditions could have on the liquidity and financial condition of customers or suppliers,
including any impact on their ability to meet contractual obligations to us on terms and conditions previously negotiated • Our dependence on industries that continually produce technologically advanced projects with short life cycles. • Our ability to respond to changes in economic trends, to fluctuations in demand for customers’ products and to the short term nature
of our customers’ commitments.• Competition in our industry, particularly from ODM suppliers in Asia.• Our dependence on a small number of customers for the majority of our sales and our reliance on strategic relationships with major
customers. • The challenges of effectively managing our operations, including our ability to manage manufacturing processes, control costs and
manage changes in our operations.• The challenges of integrating acquired companies and assets. • Not obtaining anticipated new customer programs, or if we do obtain them, that they may not contribute to our revenue or profitability
as expected or at all.• Our ability to utilize available and recently expanded manufacturing capacity.• The risk of future restructuring charges that could be material to our financial condition and results of operations.• Our ability to design and quickly introduce world-class components products that offer significant price and/or performance
advantages over competitive products.• The impact on our margins and profitability resulting from substantial investments, start-up and integration costs in our components,
design and ODM businesses; and production difficulties, especially with new products.• Changes in government regulations and tax laws including any effects related to the expiration of tax holidays .• Not realizing expected returns from our retained interests in divested businesses.• Our exposure to potential litigation relating to intellectual property rights, product warranty and product liability. • Our dependence on the continued trend of outsourcing by OEMs.• Supply shortages of required electronic components.• The challenges of international operations, including fluctuations in exchange rates beyond hedged boundaries leading to
unexpected charges.• Our dependence on our key personnel.• Our ability to comply with environmental laws.
