A component mandated in the 10-K is the ‘Risk Factors’ section, where companies disclose any major potential risks that they may face. This dashboard highlights all major changes and additions in new 10K reports, allowing investors to quickly identify new potential risks and opportunities.

Risks Related to Economic and Market Conditions
General Economic and Financial Conditions
The success of any investment activity is influenced by general economic and financial conditions, all of which are beyond the control of the Company. These conditions, such as the recent global economic concerns and volatility in the financial markets, may materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and ability to implement our business strategy and/or meet our return objectives. These conditions, such as the recent global economic concerns and significant downturns in the financial markets, may materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and ability to implement our business strategy and/or meet our return objectives.
Risks Related to Our Business
The Company’s industry is highly competitive and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors, which may give them an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete
We participate in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or products that make our products obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities.
The Company may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in its industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect its business
Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize the Company’s market. The continued growth of the internet and intense competition in the Company’s industry exacerbate these market characteristics. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of its products and services. The Company may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of its products and services. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of its current and prospective users and must achieve significant market acceptance. The Company could also incur substantial costs if it needs to modify its products and services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.
The Company also expects that new competitors may introduce products, systems or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with the Company. These competitors may succeed in developing products, systems and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than the Company’s products, systems and services, and may be more successful in marketing such products, systems and services. Technological changes have lowered the cost of operating communications and computer systems and purchasing software. These changes reduce the Company’s cost of providing services but also facilitate increased competition by reducing competitors’ costs in providing similar services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.

Risks Related to Our Company
Uncertainty of profitability
Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of future revenues and earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of products and services at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of products and services, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and services offered.
Our potential revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.
Because of the anticipated nature of the products and services that we will attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to several factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:
