We export a significant portion of our products. Difficulties associated with the export of our products could harm our business. Economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations could adversely affect our business. Our growth strategy includes acquisitions. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully. Product liability, insurance risks and increased insurance costs could harm our operating results. Our operating results could be adversely affected by a reduction of business with our large customers. We face intense competition. If we do not compete effectively, our business may suffer. Changes in the supply of, or price for, parts and components used in our products could affect our business. Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could increase our expenses and adversely affect our financial condition. of the industries in which we operate are cyclical, and, accordingly, our business is subject to changes in the economy. Our intangible assets are valued at an amount that is high relative to our total assets, and a write-off of our intangible assets would negatively affect our results of operations and total capitalization. We depend on our abilities to develop new products. Our technology is important to our success and our failure to protect this technology could put us at a competitive disadvantage.
