RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to This Offering |
We do not pay cash dividends. |
Sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline. |
The exercise of outstanding options and or warrants could result in substantial numbers of additional shares being issued, which will dilute your potential ownership interest and may cause our stock price to decline. |
We may issue additional shares and dilute your potential ownership interest. |
| to raise additional capital or finance acquisitions; |
| upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants and shares of convertible preferred stock; and or |
| in lieu of cash payment of dividends or interest on our outstanding convertible subordinated notes. |
2
The market price of our stock may be adversely affected by market volatility. |
| potential acquisitions or divestitures; |
| announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors; |
| announcements of new products, services, customers or new contracts by us or our competitors; |
| developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights; |
| economic developments in the telecommunications or multimedia industries as a whole; |
| actual or anticipated variations in our operating results due to the level of development expenses and other factors; |
| changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and whether our earnings meet or exceed such estimates; |
| new accounting standards; |
| general economic, political and market conditions and other factors; and |
| the occurrence of any of the risks described in these Risk Factors. |
Wire Ones anti-takeover defense provisions may deter potential acquirors of Wire One and may depress its stock price. |
Risks Related to Our Business |
Our history of substantial net losses may continue indefinitely and may make it difficult to fund our operations. |
The loss of our professionals would make it difficult to complete existing projects, which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations. |
3
Our success is highly dependent on the evolution of our overall market. |
We depend upon our network and facilities infrastructure. |
We depend upon suppliers and have limited sources of supply for certain products and services. |
Our reseller contracts are typically nonexclusive and terminable at will and may not protect us from intellectual property infringement claims. |
Our network could fail, which could negatively impact our revenues. |
4
shutdowns relating to individual facilities or even catastrophic failure of the entire network. Any damage to or failure of our systems or service providers could result in reductions in, or terminations of, services supplied to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we rely upon MCI/Worldcom for a portion of our Internet network, and, although we have backup network access with other providers, MCI/Worldcoms recent financial difficulties could undermine its performance and have a material adverse effect on our network.
Our network depends upon telecommunications carriers who could become direct competitors and limit or deny us access to their network, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. |
A decrease in the number and or size of our projects may cause our results to fall short of investors expectations and adversely affect the price of our common stock. |
We compete in a highly competitive market and many of our competitors have greater financial resources and established relationships with major corporate customers. |
