ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K we filed with the SEC on June 26, 2025 which are incorporated herein by reference. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
The unaudited financial information of the newly consolidated entityies included in this filing is preliminary, and our actual financial condition and results of operations may differ materially.
The financial statements of the newly consolidated entityies for the period presented are unaudited. The consolidation of acquired or newly consolidated businesses involves complex and subjective accounting policies and significant estimates, particularly in areas such as fair value measurements, purchase price allocations, and the identification and elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The absence of an independent audit increases the risk that these financial statements could contain material errors or misstatements that might not be detected on a timely basis, which could adversely affect investor confidence and potentially require restatements in the future.
Our newly consolidated joint venture in China exposes us to significant geopolitical, regulatory, and economic risks that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
As a result of our recently consolidated joint venture in China, we are now subject to the economic, political, and regulatory conditions prevailing in that country. The relationship between the United States and the Peoples Republic of China has become increasingly complex and, at times, adversarial. Ongoing trade tensions, evolving export controls, restrictions on technology transfers, sanctions, tariffs, and potential limitations on U.S. investment in Chinese entities could materially and adversely affect our ability to operate, repatriate profits, or maintain supply and customer relationships in China. Actions by either government, including new or expanded restrictions on cross-border transactions, data flows, or technology licensing, could disrupt our operations or require us to restructure aspects of our business in China.
In addition, Chinas regional relationships present further geopolitical risks. In particular, increasing tensions between China and India a key market and strategic geography for our business could lead to trade restrictions, border disruptions, or regulatory actions that may impair our ability to coordinate operations, transfer technology, or manage resources effectively across jurisdictions. Any deterioration in diplomatic or trade relations among the United States, China and India could also negatively affect global economic stability and demand for our products and services.
The Chinese regulatory environment is also characterized by frequent changes and government intervention, including in areas such as data privacy, foreign investment, and national security reviews. Unanticipated regulatory changes or enforcement actions could adversely affect our joint ventures operations, governance, or ownership structure, and could limit our ability to control or derive economic benefit from the structure.
We may not receive consistent, complete, or reliable financial and operational information from our joint venture in China, which could result in material misstatements, impairments, or write-offs of our investment.
Our recently consolidated joint venture in China presents significant challenges in obtaining timely, accurate, and complete financial information necessary for U.S. GAAP reporting and internal control purposes. The joint venture operates in a jurisdiction where accounting standards, internal control practices, and regulatory oversight may differ materially from those in the United States. We rely heavily on local management for financial reporting, operational metrics, and other information necessary to prepare our consolidated financial statements and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Differences in accounting practices, delays in reporting, or incomplete disclosures may limit our visibility into the joint ventures performance and financial condition.
Despite our oversight efforts, there can be no assurance that we will continue to receive consistent, reliable, or verifiable information from the joint venture. Delays, inaccuracies, or lack of transparency in financial reporting could impair our ability to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with SEC and PCAOB requirements. If we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate information to support the carrying value of our investment or to ensure compliance with internal control standards, we may be required to record an impairment charge or a full write-off of our investment in the joint venture.
We have experienced similar challenges in the past with our joint venture in China, including instances where limited visibility and lack of reliable financial information led to a full write-off. A recurrence of such issues with our Chinese joint venture could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and investor confidence in our reporting integrity.

Our consolidation of the joint venture in China is based on board control rather than majority equity ownership, and changes in governance, regulation, or local enforcement could cause us to lose control or require deconsolidation.
As discussed in Note 18. Business Combination to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we consolidate our joint venture in China because we currently exercise control through our rights to a majority of the votes of the board of directors, and our ability to direct the joint ventures key operating and financial policies. Our equity ownership in the joint venture, however, represents less than a majority of its outstanding equity interests.
Because our consolidation is based on governance and contractual rights rather than full equity control, there is no assurance that we will continue to have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the joint ventures economic performance. Any changes in the joint ventures governing documents, shareholder arrangements, local corporate law, or government interpretation of control could limit our decision-making authority or cause us to lose our ability to consolidate the entity under U.S. GAAP.
If we were required to deconsolidate the joint venture, we would record our remaining interest under the equity method or at fair value, which could result in a material gain or loss and would significantly reduce our reported revenues, assets, and liabilities. In addition, loss of control could impair our strategic position in the Chinese market and require us to reassess our local operating model.
Given the evolving nature of foreign ownership restrictions, corporate governance enforcement, and national security considerations in China, our continued ability to consolidate the joint venture cannot be assured, and any loss of control could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures in future periods.
