Continued depressed general economic conditions and uncertainties in the global credit and equity markets may adversely affect Astro-Med s results of operation and financial position. Astro-Med s operating results and financial condition could be harmed if the markets into which we sell our product decline or do not grow as anticipated. Astro-Med s actions to reduce costs could have a long-term adverse effect on our business. Astro-Med faces significant competition and our failure to compete successfully could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Astro-Med s future revenue growth depends on our ability to introduce new products and services on a timely basis and achieve market acceptance of these new products and services. Astro-Med s failure to successfully manage the transition between our new products and our older products may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

Astro-Med could incur liabilities as a result of installed product failures due to design or manufacturing defects. Astro-Med depends on the ongoing service of its senior management and ability to attract and retain other key personnel.
