Our assets consist primarily of investments in our operating subsidiaries, and we are dependent upon distributions from our subsidiaries to service our liabilities. Demand for, and prices of, certain of our products are cyclical and we may experience prolonged depressed market conditions for our products, which may result in reduced earnings or operating losses. We sell several of our products in mature and highly competitive industries and face price pressures in the markets in which we operate, which may result in reduced earnings or operating losses. Higher costs or limited availability of our raw materials may reduce our earnings or decrease our liquidity. We could incur significant costs related to legal and environmental remediation matters. Adverse changes to or interruptions in TIMET s relationships with its major aerospace customers could reduce its revenues, profitability and liquidity. TIMET s failure to develop new markets will result in our continued dependence on the cyclical commercial aerospace industry. The rapid increase in titanium prices may cause our customers to look for alternatives to titanium in their products. Reductions in, or the complete elimination of, any or all tariffs on imported titanium products into the United States could lead to increased imports of foreign sponge, ingot and mill products into the U.S. which could decrease pricing for our titanium products Our development of new component products as well as innovative features for our current component products is critical to sustaining and growing our Component Product Segment sales. Our leverage may impair our financial condition or limit our ability to operate our businesses.
