7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We
are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include:
Interest
rate risk
The
fair value of our cash equivalents, held primarily in cash deposits, have not been significantly impacted by increases or decreases in
interest rates to date, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The interest expense associated with our revolver is a fixed
rate. We are exposed to interest rate risk where the interest expense associated with our financing arrangements in the event that the
fixed interest rate associated with our financing arrangements is increased upon roll-over of the financing arrangement at its contractual
maturity. Fluctuations in interest rates have not been significant to date. We do not expect that interest rates will have a material
impact on our results of operations.
Inflation
risk
We
are beginning to observe increases in our costs of goods sold, in particular, transportation costs. If these cost increases are sustained
and we become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability to do
so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Foreign
exchange risk
To
date, revenue has primarily been generated in U.S. dollar, U.K. pound sterling and euro. As a result, our revenue may be subject to fluctuations
due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in U.K. pound sterling and euros relative to the U.S. dollar.
Our foreign exchange risk is less pronounced for our cost of sales as to our cost of goods sold being predominantly U.S. dollar denominated.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily made up of U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar, U.K. pound sterling and euro
amounts. Although a portion of our non-U.S. dollar costs offset non-U.S. dollar revenue, a currency mismatch arises as to the amount
and timing of our different currency cash flows. To date, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure. We will continue to monitor
the impact of foreign exchange risk and review whether to implement a hedging strategy to minimize this risk in future accounting periods.
Hedging strategies where implemented, are unlikely to completely mitigate this risk. To the extent that foreign exchange risk is not
hedged it may result in harm to our business, results of operations and financial condition.
