We operate in a highly competitive market and our success depends on our ability to obtain and retain customers. Our branch structure could result in unforeseen costs and could adversely impact our business. Our business is subject to certain risks inherent to international operations. Local governmental social service departments continue to outsource the majority of their homecare service requirements. Fluctuations in patient occupancy at the hospitals, nursing homes and care homes of our customers may adversely affect the demand for our services and therefore our financial performance. NHS reforms may have a substantial negative impact upon us. Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities. We have incurred substantial amounts of goodwill from our acquisitions, some or all of which we may be required to write off, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. If provisions in our corporate documents and New York law delay or prevent a change in control of our company, we may be unable to consummate a transaction that our shareholders consider favorable.
