Risks related to our framed art business
We are heavily dependent on one major customer for our revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, sales to one customer, Hobby Lobby Stores, comprised 75% of our total revenues. We believe this concentration of sales to a small number of customers will continue in the near future. We do not have a long-term contract with Hobby Lobby Stores. A loss of Hobby Lobby Stores as a customer or even a dramatic reduction in sales to Hobby Lobby Stores could significantly reduce our future revenues.
We may not be able to compete with existing or potential competitors in our framed art business
The visual content and art framing businesses are highly competitive. We believe competitive factors include quality of images, branding, reputation, service, breadth of content, depth of content, technology, pricing, and sales and marketing. Overall, many of our competitors are significantly larger, have far greater resources, a notably larger customer base, a far greater content provider base, significantly more technology infrastructure, and more well-recognized names in the marketplace than we do, all of which may make it difficult for us to compete effectively.
