In recent years, we have funded our working capital requirements principally through borrowings under bank lines of credit, term loans, and issuances of common stock in exchange for debt. To the extent our operations are not sufficient to fund our capital requirements, we may enter into additional revolving loan agreements with a financial institution, or attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of additional common or preferred stock or through the issuance of additional debt. To the extent that we raise additional capital or settle existing liabilities through the sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. The current financing environment in the United States is exceptionally challenging and we can provide no assurances that we could raise capital either for operations or to finance an acquisition.
