Challenges and Risks

• Acquisition Risks: The company's growth strategy heavily relies on acquisitions, which involve risks such as integration challenges, potential loss of key employees, and unanticipated expenses. Failure to successfully integrate acquisitions like the Lima Acquisition could adversely affect financial results.

• Intellectual Property Risks: Protecting intellectual property is crucial, and any failure to do so could affect competitive advantage. Litigation to enforce rights could be costly and time-consuming.
• Market and Economic Risks: Global economic conditions, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could disrupt supply chains and increase costs. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could impact financial results.
• Cybersecurity Risks: The company is vulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches, which could disrupt operations and compromise sensitive information.
