Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting may lead investors and other users to lose confidence in our financial data. The indentures governing our notes contain financial reporting covenants that we have been unable to comply with due to the restatement. We are subject to the volatile conditions in the capital, credit and commodities markets and in the overall economy which could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The industries in which we operate are cyclical, which can make our sales vary in unpredictable ways. We are subject to risks associated with changes in technology, changes in manufacturing techniques and changes in customer product demands or specifications, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage. Our base of customers is concentrated, and the loss of business from a major customer or the failure to maintain our customer relationships could materially adversely affect us. We face competition in our markets, which could hurt market share and sales. Increases in our raw material costs or the loss of a substantial number of our suppliers could affect our financial health. Our international operations are subject to uncertainties that could affect our operating results. We have significant pension obligations with respect to our employees. Unionization of our labor force could increase our operating costs and impact profitability. We depend on the services of key individuals and relationships, the loss of which would materially harm us. Our intellectual property may be misappropriated or subject to claims of infringement. We could face potential product liability claims relating to products we manufacture or distribute. Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect against the potential hazards incident to our business. Environmental regulation may impose significant environmental compliance costs and liabilities on us. If we are unable to meet future capital investment requirements, our business may be adversely affected. Compliance with changing corporate governance regulations and public disclosures may result in additional risks and exposure.
