Mark Humphries has more than ten years of investment banking experience at
Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns. Those risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to: the occurrence of changes in general economic conditions
or conditions in the collectibles markets , such as a possible decline in the
popularity of some high-value collectibles, which could result in reductions
in the volume of authentication and grading submissions and, therefore, in the
fees we are able to generate; a lack of diversity in our sources of revenues
and our dependence on coin authentication and grading for a significant
percentage of our total revenues, which makes us more vulnerable to adverse
changes in economic and market conditions, such as declines in the value of
precious metals or recessionary conditions, that could lead to reduced coin
and other collectibles submissions, with a resultant reduction in our revenues
and income; our dependence on certain key executives and collectibles experts,
the loss of the services of any of which could adversely affect our ability to
obtain authentication and grading submissions and, therefore, could harm our
operating results; increased competition from other collectibles services
companies that could result in reductions in collectibles submissions to us or
could require us to reduce the prices we charge for our services; the risk
that we will incur unanticipated liabilities under our authentication and
grading warranties that would increase our operating expenses; the risk that
new service offerings and business initiatives that we may undertake will not
gain market acceptance or will increase our operating expenses and reduce our
overall profitability or cause us to incur losses; the risk that our strategy
to exit the collectibles sales business and focus substantially all of our
resources on our authentication and grading businesses will not be successful
in enabling us to improve our profitability over the longer term or to grow
our existing businesses or expand into new collectibles or high value asset
markets; and if we grow our business by acquiring any existing or commencing
any new authentication and grading businesses, the risks that we will be
unable to successfully integrate those businesses into our operations, that
those businesses will not gain market acceptance, or that business expansion
may result in a costly diversion of management time and resources and increase
our operating expenses .
