(1)   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which were solely of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods, have been made.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year.  The Notes contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

(2)   New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard to achieve a consistent application of revenue recognition within the U.S., resulting in a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for us for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. We are in the process of determining the impact on our financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard provides guidance around management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new guidance applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We expect the new standard to increase the disclosures we provide regarding our liquidity and cash obligations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  This guidance is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Prospective application is allowed as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.  An entity is only required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle in the first interim and annual period of adoption.  We are in the process of determining the impact of this guidance on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on improvements to employee share-based payment accounting for stock compensation.  The new standard addresses the topics of accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the Statement of Cash Flows, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, classification of employee taxes paid on the Statement of Cash Flows when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes.  This is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods.  Early adoption is permitted within any interim or annual period.  Any adjustments should be reflective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period.  We are in the process of determining the impact of this guidance on our financial statements.

(3)   Contracts in Process

At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the estimated period to complete contracts in process ranged from one to three months and one to six months, respectively.  We expect to collect all accounts receivable arising from these contracts within sixty days of billing.

The following summarizes contracts in process:

	2016		2016
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	$	2,837,461	$	2,607,764
Estimated earnings		738,593		717,771
		3,576,054		3,325,535
Less billings to date		(3,504,365)		(3,265,239)
Contracts in process	$	71,689	$	60,296
Included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	$	71,689	$	60,296

	June 30,		March 31,
	2016		2016
Raw materials	$	7,301,274	$	7,279,633
Work-in-process		100,625		45,506

Inventories- current	$	2,314,322	$	2,271,271
Inventories- noncurrent		6,739,012		6,840,170
	$	9,053,334	$	9,111,441

We maintain raw material inventories of electronic components, motor parts and other materials to meet our expected manufacturing needs for proprietary products and for products manufactured to the design specifications of our customers. Some of these components may become obsolete or impaired due to bulk purchases in excess of customer requirements. Accordingly, we periodically assess our raw material and finished product inventories for potential impairment of value based on then available information, expectations and estimates and establish impairment reserves as appropriate. We concluded that there were no impairments

for obsolete inventory during the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and we had no reserve for obsolete inventory as of June 30, 2016 or March 31, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, inventory of $6,739,012 shown on the balance sheet as a noncurrent asset represents that portion of the inventory in excess of amounts expected to be sold in the next twelve months. Management believes that there will be adequate demand for this noncurrent inventory.

(9) Income Taxes

The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as it is management’s judgment that it is more-likely-than-not that net deferred tax assets will not be realized to reduce future taxable income. 

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in “Other Income (expense),” net.  As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. 

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s tax years for 2012 to 2015 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.

Employment Agreements

On July 21, 2015, the Company entered into new employment agreements with its four officers that expire on June 30, 2017. The aggregate future base salary payable to the executive officers over their remaining terms is $1,014,604. The July 2015 employment agreements provide for future retention payments under the conditions and for the amounts specified in the agreements. These retention payments are being recorded over the required service period, and as a result, we have recorded a liability of $178,889 as of June 30, 2016.  

Litigation

We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, and based on current available information, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Risk Factors and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

Introduction

UQM Technologies, Inc., (“UQM”, “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a developer and manufacturer of power dense, high efficiency electric motors, generators, power electronic controllers and fuel cell compressors for the commercial truck, bus, automotive, marine, military and industrial markets. We generate revenue from three principal activities: 1) the sale of electric propulsion systems, which includes motors and controllers; and 2) the sale of auxiliary products including generators, fuel cell compressors, air conditioning compressor systems, and DC-to-DC converters; and 3) services, including research, development and application engineering contract services and remanufacturing services. Our product sales consist of annually recurring volume production, prototype low volume sales, and revenues derived from the sale of refurbished and serviced products. The sources of engineering contract revenue typically vary from year to year and individual projects may vary substantially in their periods of performance and aggregate dollar value.

We have invested considerable financial and human resources into the development of our technology and manufacturing operations. We have developed and production-validated a full range of products for use in full-electric, hybrid electric, plug-in-hybrid and fuel cell applications for the markets we serve. These products are all highly efficient permanent magnet designs and feature outstanding performance, package size and weight valued by our customers. Our production capabilities and capacity are sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future customers for the foreseeable future.  We are certified as an ISO/TS 16949 quality supplier, which is the highest level of quality standards in the automotive industry, and we are ISO 14001 certified, meeting the highest environmental standards.  We have a management team with significant experience in the automotive industry and the requirements for high quality production programs and very deep technical knowledge of the motor and controller business. This team has the ability and background to grow the business to significantly higher levels, and we believe we have adequate cash balances to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Our most important strategic initiative going forward is to develop customer relationships that lead to longer-term supply contracts.  Volume production is the key to our ongoing operations.  We are driving business development in the following ways:

· We have created a well-defined, structured process to target potential customers of vehicle electric motor technology in the commercial truck/van and shuttles, passenger buses, automotive, marine, military and other targeted markets both domestically and internationally. In particular, we are focused on developing customer relationships in China which is the world’s largest market for vehicle electrification products.

· We have developed a customer pipeline where identified potential customers are synergistic and strategic in nature for longer-term growth potential.

· We are building long term quantifiable and sustainable relationships within the identified target markets.

12

· We provide service and support to our customers from pilot and test activities through commissioning processes and then ultimately to volume production operations. 

· We continually look for ways to improve our purchasing and manufacturing processes to develop competitive costs to ensure that our pricing to customers is market competitive.

· We provide customized solutions to meet specification requirements that some customers require.

· We participate in trade show events globally to demonstrate our products and engage with users of electric motor technology.

· We actively involve all functional groups within the Company to support the requests of our customers.

We believe that the successful execution of these activities will lead us to secure volume production commitments from customers, so that our operations will become cash flow positive and ultimately profitable.

Recent Announcements

We announced during the quarter that on June 28, 2016, we signed a definitive stock purchase and issuance agreement (“HKG Investment Agreement”) with a subsidiary of Hybrid Kinetic Group, Ltd. (“HKG”).  The HKG Investment Agreement calls for HKG, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, to purchase newly issued UQM common shares that will represent 58% of UQM, and 54% on a fully-diluted basis. The purchase price is $0.72 per share, which represents a 6.4% premium over the 90 day closing price average for the period ending on the last trading date before signing and a 14% premium over the closing price on the day of signing of the HKG Investment Agreement. The transaction will bring approximately $48 million in cash to UQM. The terms of the HKG Investment Agreement were unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies. UQM shareholders will continue to hold their shares in UQM and UQM stock will continue to be traded on the NYSE MKT.

The transaction, which is subject to usual and customary closing conditions, requires approval by two-thirds of UQM’s outstanding shares as well as the shareholders of HKG. Closing is expected to occur as soon as possible following shareholders’ approval and receipt of approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and the required Hong Kong regulatory authorities. The parties expect the closing will occur within the following six months.

Following the closing of the transaction, UQM will continue to support its existing customers around the world as well as new business development programs. UQM’s headquarters will remain in Longmont, Colorado.

As part of the HKG Investment Agreement, the parties have agreed that following the closing, UQM’s board will be increased to nine directors composed of UQM’s current CEO, three current UQM independent directors and five directors nominated by HKG.

HKG, which is publically listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (Stock Code: 01188), engages principally in the environmental automobile and related business. It develops and manufactures batteries and battery management systems and develops and manufactures electric and hybrid vehicles. HKG has a market capitalization of approximately $600 million.

During the quarter, we announced the beginning of a development and production program with Eaton’s Vehicle Group and Pi Innovo, both located in Michigan. The alliance calls for Eaton to develop and supply to UQM a 2-speed transmission for an EV application, and Pi Innovo will develop and supply to UQM the transmission control unit. Together, the components will be combined with our current PowerPhase® HD220/HD250 motor and inverter system to create a full electric drivetrain system called the “UQM PowerPhaseDT.”  The development and production of a full electric drivetrain system will support the overarching need for full transmission systems as enhanced performance and

13

efficiency requirements are mandated by customer drive cycle needs as well as the need to reduce battery costs and meet more stringent environmental regulations.  The drivetrain allows for better packaging, efficiency, greater payload capacity and lower cost when compared with direct drive or single speed drivetrain strategies.  We believe this new product offering will open up additional customer and market opportunities.

We also announced during the quarter a key business relationship in Columbia with Creatti Labs SAS, an electric vehicle integrator that is designing the next generation EV transportation systems for Colombia and other South American markets. Creatti Labs and UQM are collaborating on an electric transit bus platform for the major bus operators in Cali, Medellin and Bogota, which are the three major transportation systems in Colombia.

U.S. Government Contract

We have a $4.0 million program with the DOE to develop non-rare-earth magnet electric motors for use in electric and hybrid vehicles. The DOE is providing $3.0 million of funding for this three-year program and the Company is providing $1.0 million of cost-share contribution. The objective of the program is to identify and evaluate magnet materials and technology that can deliver performance comparable to our rare-earth magnet motors, broaden our product portfolio, potentially lower magnet costs and limit our exposure to price and supply concerns associated with rare-earth magnets.  At June 30, 2016, we had received reimbursements from the DOE under this program of $2.6 million.  We have been granted a U.S. patent for our electric and hybrid electric vehicle motor design using non-rare earth magnets.  This grant will expire on September 30, 2016.

Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 were $5,497,556 and working capital was $7,160,100, compared with $7,030,230 and $8,765,522, respectively, at March 31, 2016.  The decrease in cash and working capital is primarily attributable to operating losses.

Accounts receivable increased $198,056 to $679,460 at June 30, 2016 from $481,404 at March 31, 2016.  The increase is primarily due to the mix in customer credit terms during the first quarter this fiscal year versus the fourth quarter last fiscal year.  Our sales are conducted through acceptance of customer purchase orders or in some cases through supply agreements. For international customers and customers without an adequate credit rating or history, our typical terms are irrevocable letter of credit or cash payment in advance of delivery. For credit qualified customers, our typical terms are net 30 days. As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had no allowance for bad debts.  

Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts was $71,689 at June 30, 2016 versus $60,296 at March 31, 2016. The increase was due to timing of billings on certain contracts in process at June 30, 2016 versus March 31, 2016.

Total inventories decreased $58,107 to $9,053,334 at June 30, 2016 reflecting shipments of PowerPhase Pro® and PowerPhase HD® propulsion systems.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased to $274,322 at June 30, 2016 from $272,597 at March 31, 2016 primarily due to prepayments on commercial insurance policies offset by a decrease in miscellaneous prepaid expenses.

We invested $15,862 for the acquisition of property and equipment during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $46,750 during the comparable quarter last fiscal year. We believe that we have sufficient property and equipment in place to meet our production requirements for the foreseeable future.

Patent costs decreased $1,347 due to new patent costs offset by amortization. Trademark costs decreased $1,124 due to amortization.

Accounts payable increased $453,772 to $818,613 at June 30, 2016 from $364,841 at March 31, 2016, primarily due to the timing of vendor payments and increased legal and other expenses incurred relating to the HKG Investment Agreement that was signed during the quarter.

14

Other current liabilities decreased to $858,636 at June 30, 2016 from $985,435 at March 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower levels of accrued payroll and associated benefits and lower property tax accrual offset by an increase in accrued warranty costs.

Common stock and additional paid-in capital were $483,507 and $128,166,044, respectively, at June 30, 2016 compared to $483,303and $128,103,861 at March 31, 2016. The increases in common stock and additional paid-in capital were primarily attributable to the periodic expensing of non-cash share-based payments associated with option and stock grants under our equity compensation plans and the issuance of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

Revenue

Product sales revenue for the current quarter increased to $1,173,261 versus $630,666 for the comparable quarter last fiscal year, reflecting increased shipments of PowerPhase HD® and PowerPhase Pro® propulsion systems offset by a decrease in fuel cell motor systems.

Revenue from contract services increased to $261,819 at June 30, 2016 versus $109,863 for the comparable quarter last year. The increase is primarily due to higher billings for our Department of Energy grant program.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased to 30.6 percent compared to 13.3 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Gross profit margin on product sales for the first quarter this year increased to 35.3 percent compared to 8.4 percent for the first quarter last year primarily due to a change in overhead absorption as a result of higher volumes shipped in the current fiscal year. Gross profit margin on contract services decreased to 9.5 percent for the first quarter this fiscal year compared to 41.0 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, resulting from a change in the mix of contracts in process during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 versus the comparable quarter last year. 

Costs and Expenses

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 decreased to $718,918 compared to $1,088,480 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is related to a reduction of payroll and related expenses in addition to lower overhead rates.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $1,684,645 compared to $1,245,374 for the same quarter last year. The increase is primarily attributable to additional legal and other expenses incurred relating to the HKG Investment Agreement that was signed during the quarter.

Net Loss

As a result, net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $1,954,030, or $0.04 per common share, compared to a net loss of $2,224,251, or $0.06 per common share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash balances and liquidity throughout the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were adequate to meet operating needs.  At June 30, 2016, we had working capital of $7,160,100 compared to $8,765,522 at March 31, 2016. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to operating losses.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $1,521,635 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $931,401 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The primary reason for this

15

increase in the use of cash this quarter is that in the comparable period last year, we received life insurance proceeds of $855,000.   In addition, accounts receivable increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 versus the prior year quarter.  This was offset by lower operating losses in the current quarter.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three month period of this fiscal year was $19,658 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $49,202 for the comparable three month period last fiscal year. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to reduction in expenditures for the acquisition of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period of this fiscal year was $8,619 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $21,717 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The decrease in cash provided was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash received for shares exercised under the employee stock purchase plan.  

We expect to fund our operations over the next year from existing cash and cash equivalent balances, the reduction of inventories, and the anticipated proceeds upon the successful closing of the HKG Investment Agreement. Although we expect to manage our operations and working capital requirements to minimize the future level of operating losses and working capital usage, our working capital requirements may increase in the future. If customer demand accelerates substantially, our working capital requirements may also increase substantially.

If our existing financial resources are not sufficient to execute our business plan, we may issue equity or debt securities in the future, although we cannot assure that we will be able to secure additional capital should it be required to implement our current business plan. In the event financing or equity capital to fund future growth is not available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, we will modify our strategy to align our operations with then available financial resources. Based on our current level of operations, we believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents with the completion of the offering to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the dollar values reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2016. 

16

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates.  We do not use financial instruments to any degree to manage these risks and do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.  All of our product sales, and related receivables are payable in U.S. dollars.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

As of June 30, 2016, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).  Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2016.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

17

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation

We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, and based on current available information, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow, although adverse developments in these matters could have a material impact on a future reporting period.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risk Factors

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Except as indicated below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016:

We may not receive shareholder approval and U.S. governmental approval that is required for the completion of Hybrid Kinetic Group’s investment in the Company.

A number of conditions must be satisfied in order for Hybrid Kinetic Group’s $48 million investment in the Company to be completed.  The conditions include approval by the Company’s shareholders holding two-thirds of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock to amend UQM’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares in order to have sufficient shares to permit Hybrid Kinetic Group’s investment.  While UQM’s board of directors believes that the proposed investment by Hybrid Kinetic Group is in the best interest of UQM and its shareholders, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve the required shareholder approval to permit the transaction to be completed. Because the vote requirement is based on the number of shares outstanding rather than the shares that are voted, if a shareholder does not vote the shareholders’ shares it is treated the same as a vote against the amendment of the articles. In addition, because Hybrid Kinetic Group is a Bermuda corporation listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, the investment must satisfy the approval requirements of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).  While the Company believes CFIUS approval will be timely granted for the transaction to close, we may not receive such approval or such approval may contain a condition that would be unacceptable to the parties  If Hybrid Kinetic Group’s investment in the Company is not completed, the Company may not have sufficient funds to continue operations until a new financing arrangement can be obtain or it may not be able to secure additional financing on as favorable of terms as that under the HKG Investment Agreement.

We have incurred significant losses and may continue to do so.

We have incurred significant net losses as shown in the following tables:

	Quarter Ended		Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
	June 30, 2016		2016		2015		2014
Net loss	$	1,954,030	$	6,938,351	$	5,988,530	$	2,773,244

As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had accumulated deficits of $108,829,456 and $106,875,426, respectively.

In the future, we plan to make additional investments in product development, facilities and equipment and other costs related to the commercialization of our products. As a result, we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.  

18

Our operating losses, anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements in the longer term may exceed our current cash balances.

Our net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $1,954,030 versus a net loss for the comparable quarter last fiscal year of $2,224,251.  Our net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 was $6,938,351 versus a net loss for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of $5,988,530 and $2,773,244 respectively. At June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,497,556. We expect our losses to continue for the foreseeable future. Our existing cash resources, together with cash generated from reductions in our inventories of PowerPhase Pro®  propulsion systems, are expected to be sufficient to complete our business plan for at least the next twelve months. Should those resources be insufficient, we may need to secure additional debt or equity funding, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Our revenue is highly concentrated among a small number of customers.

A large percentage of our revenue is typically derived from a small number of customers, and we expect this trend to continue.

Our customer arrangements generally are non-exclusive, have no long-term volume commitments and are often done on a purchase order basis. Further, although we entered into a 10-year exclusive supply agreement with ITL in October 2015, the amount of revenue we will generate pursuant to the ITL Agreement is uncertain. We cannot be certain that customers that have accounted for significant revenue in past periods will continue to purchase our products. Accordingly, our revenue and results of operations may vary substantially from period to period. We are also subject to credit risk associated with the concentration of our accounts receivable from our customers. If one or more of our significant customers were to cease doing business with us, significantly reduce or delay its purchases from us or fail to pay us on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
