Our success depends on economic and other external factors that affect consumer decisions about whether and when to have dental procedures performed. We operate in highly competitive and fragmented markets. We face increased competitive pressures from larger competitors, foreign-sourced products and technology based solutions. Risks associated with our strategic acquisitions could adversely affect our business. If we fail to develop new or expand existing customer relationships, our ability to grow our business will be impaired. Our failure to attract and retain qualified personnel would adversely affect our business. Our business results are adversely affected by increases in labor, benefits and related costs. If we cannot continue to respond to technical innovations we may not be able to compete effectively. Our operating results can be adversely affected by changes in the cost or availability of raw materials, particularly precious metals like gold, platinum and palladium. Our failure to generate sufficient cash to meet our liquidity needs may affect our ability to service our indebtedness and grow our business. An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other acquired intangibles could negatively affect our operating results and net worth. Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance, public disclosure, and accounting standards may result in additional expenses and risks.
