Our future results could be harmed by economic, political, geographic, regulatory and other specific risks associated with international operations. If we fail to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to design, develop, market or sell our products or successfully manage our business. Our indebtedness following our offer will be higher than our existing indebtedness. Uncertainties exist in integrating the business operations of X-Rite and Pantone. We are subject to risks arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations, which could increase our costs and may cause our profitability to decline. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business and prospects may be harmed. We may be subject to intellectual property litigation and infringement claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. We may not have financing for future technology and capital requirements, which may prevent us from addressing gaps in our product offerings, improving our technology or increasing our manufacturing capacity. The markets for our products and services are highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, our business could be negatively impacted. We may be affected by environmental laws and regulations. We are vertically integrated and, therefore, must manage costs efficiently. Our reliance on outsourced manufacturing presents risks to our fulfillment process. We depend on new product development to compete effectively. Any general economic slowdown could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. We may face potential tax liabilities. The Company s reliance on a primary manufacturing center may affect timely product production and profitability.
