“These expenditures have not remained constant over time, have been and in the future may be reduced in certain periods, and have been and in the future may be affected by efforts to reduce costs generally. Our business with U.S. government customers has been negatively impacted in the past, and may continue to be negatively impacted in the future, by certain of the following factors, among others: •Government budgetary constraints and decreases or changes in available funding; •Budget uncertainty, government shutdowns and other potential delays or changes in appropriations or other funding authorization processes; •Reductions in overall defense spending or a shift in expenditures away from the government customers we support; •The political environment, changes in national and international priorities and macroeconomic conditions; and •Changes in public perception of the accuracy of our technology and the appropriate use of our technology by government customers.”
