Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed below, or elsewhere in this Form 10-K or our other SEC
filings, could have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business
operations.
If we do not achieve the expected benefit from TDK Recording Media, Memcorp and other potential future
acquisitions, our financial results may be negatively impacted. In July 2007, we acquired substantially all of the
assets of TDK’s business relating to the marketing, distribution, sales, customer service and support of removable
recording media products, accessory products and ancillary products being sold under the TDK Life on Record brand
