Current report
Our indebtedness may increase from time to time for various reasons, including fluctuations in operating results, working capital needs, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures. Our level of indebtedness and the ultimate cost of such indebtedness could have a negative impact on our liquidity, cost of future debt financing and financial results, and our credit ratings may be adversely affected as a result of the incurrence of additional indebtedness. In addition, a significant downgrade in our credit ratings or adverse conditions in the capital markets may increase the cost of borrowing for us or limit our access to capital.
Current report
Our cash flow from operations and capital resources may not be sufficient for payments of interest on and principal of our debt, and alternative financing measures may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, and we may not be able to meet our scheduled debt service obligations.
Current report
We may be unable to continue to progress on or implement our strategic plans and sustain our current operating performance, in which case our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected, and which may give rise to substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Previous report
We require significant additional funding to be able to continue as a going concern and we may be unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, which would harm our ability to grow our business, and our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, any capital we raise may result in dilution to our current stockholders.
Previous report
