Current macroeconomic conditions and the current credit crisis have had and may continue to have an impact on our business and our financial condition. Our business may be adversely affected by the actions of and risks associated with our third-party vendors. Intense competition in our markets could harm our ability to maintain profitability. We may be unable to identify additional sales through new distribution opportunities or replace lost sales. Our international operations expose us to the unique risks inherent in foreign operations. Our quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuation. We may be unable to attract and retain qualified associates. Our expanded offering of proprietary branded products may not improve our financial performance and may expose us to product liability claims. We are more leveraged than some of our competitors, which could adversely affect our business plans. Compromises of our information security may adversely affect our business. We cannot ensure systems and technology will be fully integrated or updated. We retained responsibility for certain liabilities of the sold paper, forest products and timberland businesses. Our investment in Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. subjects us to the risks associated with the paper and forest products industry. Our obligation to purchase paper from Boise White Paper L.L.C.. concentrates our supply of an important product primarily with a single supplier. We have substantial business operations in states in which the regulatory environment is particularly challenging. We are subject to certain legal proceedings that may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Our results may be adversely affected by disruptions or catastrophic events. Fluctuations in our effective tax rate may adversely affect our results of operations.
