Those
risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
* possible 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 cause a reduction in
authentication and grading submissions and, therefore, also in the fees
we are able to
generate;
* a lack of diversity in our sources of revenues and our dependence on
collectible 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, including
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
* the risk that we will not be successful in integrating into
our
operations any new businesses we might acquire or commence or that
those businesses
will not gain market acceptance or that our business
expansion may result in a costly diversion
of management time and
resources and increase our operating expenses and, therefore, hurt
our
profitability. Yu-Gi-Oh! follows the adventures of Yugi, a young boy who
