• unforeseen contingent risks or latent liabilities relating to these businesses that may only become<br />
apparent after the merger or acquisition is finalised;<br />
• integration and management of businesses, products, technologies or personnel may incur a<br />
significant expenditure of operating, financial and management resources;<br />
• retention of select personnel;<br />
• co-ordination of sales and marketing efforts;<br />
• diversion of management’s attention from other ongoing business concerns; and<br />
• write-offs of investments.<br />
If we are unable to integrate the operations of an acquired business successfully or manage such future<br />
acquisitions profitably, our growth plans may not be met and our cash generation and profitability may<br />
decline.<br />
Future acquisitions could dilute our shareholders’ interest in us and could cause us to incur substantial debt,<br />
expose us to contingent liabilities and could negatively impact our profitability.<br />
If we do not successfully commercialize our products under development, or if our commercialization is<br />
delayed, it will adversely affect our operating results.<br />
Our future results of operations depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to successfully<br />
commercialize additional active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulation products. The development<br />
and commercialization process is both time consuming and costly and involves a high degree of business<br />
risk. In order to develop a commercially viable product, we must demonstrate, through extensive preclinical<br />
and human clinical trials, that the products are safe and effective for use in humans. Our products<br />
currently under development, if and when fully developed and tested, may not perform as we expect,<br />
necessary regulatory approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, if at all, and we may not be able to<br />
successfully and profitably produce and market such products.<br />
Furthermore, even if we are successful in developing a new product, that product may become subject to<br />
litigation by third parties claiming our product infringes on their patents or may be otherwise unsuccessful<br />
in the market place due to the introduction of superior products by competitors. Moreover, it may take an<br />
extended period of time for our new products to gain market acceptance, if at all.<br />
To develop our product pipeline, we commit substantial time, efforts, funds and other resources for<br />
research and development, both through our own dedicated resources and our collaborations with third<br />
parties. Our investments in new product launches and research and development for future products could<br />
result in higher costs without a proportionate increase in revenues.<br />
If we fail to accurately project demand for our products, we may encounter problems of inadequate<br />
supply or oversupply, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, as<br />
well as damage our goodwill and brand.<br />
We project demand for our products based on rolling projections from our distributors, our understanding<br />
of anticipated hospital procurement spending and distributor inventory levels. If we overestimate demand,<br />
we may purchase more raw materials or components than required. If we underestimate demand, our third<br />
party suppliers may have inadequate raw material or product component inventories, which could interrupt<br />
our manufacturing and delay shipments, and could result in loss of business. If we under-stock one or more<br />
of our products, we may not be able to obtain additional units in a timely manner, which could adversely<br />
affect our goodwill and results of operations. In addition, if our products do not achieve widespread<br />
