We may experience unanticipated start-up expenses and production delays in opening new facilities or product line transfers. Our substantial international sales and operations are subject to customary risks associated with international operations. Our international sales and operations may be adversely impacted by compliance with export laws. Any inability to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of skilled officers and other employees could impede our ability to compete successfully. If we are unable to develop new products on a timely basis, it could adversely affect our business and prospects. A shortage of or price increases in our raw materials could increase our operating costs. Certain environmental risks may cause us to be liable for costs associated with hazardous or toxic substance clean-up which may adversely affect our financial condition. We are subject to numerous governmental regulations, which may be burdensome or lead to significant costs. We may be required to defend lawsuits or pay damages in connection with alleged or actual harm caused by our products. We operate in highly competitive industries, which may adversely affect our results of operations or ability to expand our business. Our access to sources of liquidity may be limited by market conditions and restrictions in our revolving credit facility and other agreements. We are subject to possible insolvency of financial counterparties.
