existing regulations• Reduced use of fax services due to increased use of email, scanning or widespread adoption of digital

signatures• Inability to adapt to technological change and diversify our service offerings and related revenues at

acceptable levels of return-on-investment• Inadequate intellectual property protection or violations of third party intellectual property rights• Loss of services of executive officers and other key employees
