Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to a number of trends, risks and uncertainties. We review and, where applicable, update our risk factors each quarter. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2020 Form 10-K, except for the below.

Compliance with regulations regarding the use of “conflict minerals” could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain raw materials used in manufacturing our products, create additional compliance costs and create reputational challenges.

The SEC, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, adopted disclosure regulations for public companies that manufacture products containing certain minerals that are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries and procedures pertaining to a manufacturer’s efforts regarding the source of such minerals. These "conflict minerals" are commonly found in metals used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Manufacturers are also required to disclose their efforts to prevent the sourcing of such minerals and metals produced from them. Compliance with these requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of metals used in the manufacture of our products and may be time consuming for our management and supply chain personnel. In addition, we have incurred, and in the future may incur, additional costs to comply with the disclosure requirements, including costs related to determining the source of any of the relevant minerals used in our products, submitting a conflict minerals report and the audit of such report by an independent auditor. If we determine that certain of our products contain materials not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to verify with sufficient accuracy the origins of all conflict materials used in our products, we may face difficulties in satisfying customers who may require that our products be certified as free of "conflict materials," which could harm our relationships with these customers, and other reputational challenges, which could lead to a loss of revenue.
