Below are changes to our risk factors included in our Annual Report From 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
+Added: Global geopolitical, economic and business conditions could materially adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.
+Added: Our business has been, and may continue to be, affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including but not limited to general geopolitical, economic and business conditions, conditions in the financial markets, and changes in the overall demand for connected lifestyle products.
+Added: Our products and services may be considered discretionary items for our consumer and small business end-users.
+Added: A severe and/or prolonged economic downturn, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, inflation, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates, or lower consumer confidence, among other things, could adversely affect our customers’ financial condition and their levels of business activity.
+Added: As a result of stimulus programs put in place over the past two years, the U.S.
+Added: and many countries are currently experiencing an inflationary environment.
+Added: In addition, the U.S.
+Added: Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns about inflation, which in turn has negatively impacted equity values.
+Added: capital markets experienced and continue to experience extreme volatility and disruption following the global outbreak of COVID-19, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and inflationary pressures.
+Added: Weakness in, and uncertainty about, global economic conditions may also cause businesses to postpone spending in response to tighter credit, rising interest rates, inflation, lower consumer confidence, negative financial news and/or general declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products and services.
+Added: In the recent past, various regions worldwide have experienced slow economic growth.
+Added: In addition, current economic challenges in China may continue to put negative pressure on global economic conditions.
+Added: If conditions in the global economy, including in Europe, China, Australia and the United States, or other key vertical or geographic markets deteriorate, such conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
+Added: If we are unable to successfully anticipate changing economic and political conditions, we may be unable to effectively plan for and respond to those changes, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
+Added: In addition, the economic problems affecting the financial markets and the uncertainty in global economic conditions resulted in a number of adverse effects, including a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, extreme volatility in credit, equity, currency, and fixed income markets, instability in the stock market, and high unemployment.
+Added: In addition, the challenges faced by the European Union to stabilize some of its member state economies, such as Greece, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, and Italy, have had international implications, affecting the stability of global financial markets and hindering economies worldwide.
+Added: Many member states in the European Union have been addressing the issues with controversial austerity measures.
+Added: In addition, the potential consequences of the “Brexit” process in the United Kingdom have led to significant uncertainty in the region.
+Added: Should the European Union monetary policy measures be insufficient to restore confidence and stability to the financial markets, or should the United Kingdom’s “Brexit” decision
+Added: lead to additional economic or political instability, the global economy, including the U.S.
+Added: and European Union economies where we have a significant presence, could be hindered, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
+Added: There could also be a number of other follow-on effects from these economic developments on our business, including the inability of customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, customer insolvencies, decreased customer confidence to make purchasing decisions, decreased customer demand, and decreased customer ability to pay their trade obligations.
+Added: In addition, availability of our products from third-party manufacturers and our ability to distribute our products into non-U.S.
+Added: jurisdictions may be impacted by factors such as ongoing supply chain disruptions, an increase in duties, tariffs, or other restrictions on trade;
+Added: raw material shortages, work stoppages, strikes and political unrest;
+Added: economic crises and international disputes or conflicts;
+Added: changes in leadership and the political climate in countries from which we import products.
+Added: Further, the imposition of and changes in the U.S.' and other governments' duties, trade regulations, trade wars, tariffs, other restrictions or other geopolitical events, including the evolving relations between U.S.
+Added: and China and evolving relations with Russia due to the current hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, create uncertainty regarding our ability to market and distribute our products into non-U.S.
+Added: jurisdictions and any failure to effectively anticipate or respond to such events could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
+Added: A portion of our global and U.S.
+Added: sales are comprised of goods assembled and manufactured in our facilities in Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China, and components for a number of our goods are sourced from suppliers in the People’s Republic of China.
+Added: When tariffs, duties, or other restrictions are placed on goods imported into the United States from China or any related counter-measures are taken by China, our revenue and results of operations may be materially harmed.
+Added: In recent years, the U.S.
+Added: Government has imposed increases to the ad valorem duties applicable to certain products imported from China, including increases of up to 25% for some items.
+Added: We are actively addressing the risks related to these additional duties, which have affected, or have the potential to affect, at least some of our imports from China.
+Added: Although we have already taken some steps to mitigate these risks, including by moving a significant portion of our manufacturing and assembly to Vietnam and other areas in the Asia Pacific region outside of China, if these duties are imposed, the cost of our products may increase.
+Added: These duties may also make our products more expensive for consumers, which may reduce consumer demand.
+Added: We may need to offset the financial impact by, among other things, moving even more of our product manufacturing to other locations, modifying other business practices or raising prices.
+Added: If we are not successful in offsetting the impact of any such duties, our revenue, gross margins, and operating results may be materially adversely affected.
Instability in geographies where we have operations and personnel or where we derive amounts of revenue could have a material adverse effect on our business, customers, operations and financial results.
