The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing of the closing of the pending transaction to acquire Silicon Motion, changes in revenue, the expansion of engineering, sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of expansion into new territories, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s products and potential material investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services or technologies.
