10-KFY2021

Expand our existing client relationships. Our existing customer base offers significant opportunities for additional sales of solutions and services that we currently offer, but that existing clients do not fully utilize.

10-KFY2021

we may need to obtain equity, equity-linked, or debt financing in the future to fund our operations, including our acquisition strategy

10-KFY2025

We may experience difficulties in executing our acquisition strategy.
