If we are unable to retain senior executives and other qualified professionals our growth may be hindered. The markets in which we compete are highly competitive, and some of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we do. The competitive pressures faced by us could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Many of our products are subject to existing regulations and standards, changes in which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. A reduction in the spending patterns of government agencies could materially and adversely affect our net sales. In most markets in which we compete, there are frequent introductions of new products and product line extensions. If we fail to introduce successful new products, we may lose market position and our financial performance may be negatively impacted. Our international operations are subject to various uncertainties and a significant reduction in international sales of our products could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We may incur restructuring or impairment charges that would reduce our earnings . We may be unable to successfully execute or effectively integrate acquisitions, which may adversely affect our results of operations. Our continued success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our sales could be materially and aversely affected. We do not have long-term contracts with many of our customers and they may terminate their relationship with us at any time, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. We are subject to various environmental laws and any violation of these laws could adversely affect our results of operations. We have a significant amount of indebtedness, which makes us more vulnerable to adverse economic and competitive conditions.
