uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the possibility of changes in
general economic conditions or conditions in the collectibles markets, such as
a possible decline in the popularity of some high-value collectibles, which
could result in reductions in the volume of authentication and grading
submissions and, therefore, the fees we are able to generate; a lack of
diversity in our sources of revenues and our dependence on coin authentication
and grading for a significant percentage of our total revenues, which makes us
more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic and market conditions,
including declines in the value of precious metals or recessionary conditions,
that could lead to reduced coin and other collectibles submissions, with a
resultant reduction in our revenues and in our income; the fact that five of
our customers accounted for approximately 27% of our net revenues during
fiscal 2005, which means that our operating results could decline if any of
those customers were to terminate or significantly reduce the business that
they conduct with us; our dependence on certain key executives and
collectibles experts, the loss of the services of any of which could adversely
affect our ability to obtain authentication and grading submissions and,
therefore, could harm our operating results; increased competition from other
collectibles services companies that could result in reductions in
collectibles submissions to us or could require us to reduce the prices we
charge for our services; the risk that we will incur unanticipated liabilities
under our authentication and grading warranties that would increase our
operating expenses; the risk that new service offerings and business
initiatives that we may undertake will not gain market acceptance or will
increase our operating expenses or reduce our overall profitability or even
cause us to incur losses; the risk that our strategy to expand into new
collectibles and other high value asset markets, such as the diamond market,
primarily through business acquisitions, will not be successful in enabling us
to improve our profitability; and the risks that we will be unable to
successfully integrate the businesses that we acquire into our operations, or
that those businesses will not gain market acceptance, or that our business
expansion may result in a costly diversion of management time and resources
and increase our operating expenses and possibly cause us to incur losses.overstock .com. Such forward-looking statements include, but
