A hypothetical **1% increase** in the interest rate would have increased Q1 2020 borrowing costs by approximately **$3,500**[87](index=87&type=chunk) - The company is exposed to foreign currency risk as it requires European distributors to purchase in Euros and pays European employees in Euros and British pounds.

Other Information](index=25&type=section&id=Part%20II.%20Other%20Information) [Risk Factors](index=25&type=section&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) The company identifies significant risks that could adversely affect its business, including the negative impact of global economic conditions such as the COVID-19 pandemic on product demand, high dependence on application developers and a limited number of distributors (Ingram Micro and BlueStar), potential inability to return to profitability, reliance on a limited number of component suppliers, intense market competition, and the need to rapidly develop new products to keep pace with changing technology - The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced product purchases due to worldwide business curtailments and could restrict access to capital markets if conditions worsen[94](index=94&type=chunk) - The company is dependent on application developers to integrate its products into their solutions and successfully market them.
