Global Economic Supply Chain Issues:

- Global economic conditions in 2009 caused the global semiconductor supply chain to dramatically reduce capacity as demand dried up. Due to this constriction many smaller manufacturers went out of business

- As the demand for semiconductor products has increased due to improving global economic conditions semiconductor manufacturers have not been able to ramp quickly enough to keep up with demand.

- Increased demand compounded by the insolvency of smaller manufactures & the understanding that there is a global shortage (Everyone is requesting larger than normal supply to build buffet stock & get ahead of the line) has only exacerbated the issue. The two primary vendors that manufacture our specific chip-set are dealing with the same issues.

- This is not a vendor specific issue but a global one.-
