our products and services; our eLearning customers
' ability to continue to

changes in the marketing budgets and the mix of marketing products and

competition, including pricing competition, in the online
education and
enrollment and retentions services markets; technological developments,
emerging
industry standards and government regulations, and customer
requirements, which continually require
us to improve our software and
services; a significant portion of our revenue is generated from a
relatively
small number of customers; our debt obligations could adversely affect our
financial
health and our ability to obtain financing and react to changes in
our business; the possibility
that we may not be able to achieve continued
growth or profitability, or maintain current levels
of revenue; our ability to
protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights from
infringement;
the impact of laws and regulations affecting education and the
Internet; the ability of the Company
to retain key executives at eCollege and
Datamark; our lengthy sales cycle; our network infrastructure
and computer
systems failing; the vulnerability of our network to security risks; the
possibility
that we may not be able to raise additional capital on acceptable
terms; Datamark's ability to develop
and sustain long-term customer
relationships; the cost of marketing activities, including mailing
lists,
