Our construction projects to expand our Oro Grande, California and Hunter, Texas cement plants or future expansionary capital expenditures may not strengthen our competitive position. Our business is sensitive to economic cycles within the public, residential and non-residential construction segments as well as seasonality and inclement weather conditions. Some of our competitors may cope better with adverse economic and market conditions than we would. The availability and pricing of energy could lower our results of operations and harm our financial condition. We may incur substantial expenditures to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The enforcement of such laws may result in liability for civil or criminal fines or penalties or curtailment or suspension of our operations. We may become liable for environmental injury to persons or property. Future litigation could affect our profitability. Unexpected equipment failures, catastrophic events and scheduled maintenance may lead to production curtailments or shutdowns. We rely heavily on third-party truck and rail transportation, which is subject to delays and rate fluctuations. Implementation of our growth strategy has certain risks. Our business could suffer if cement imports from Mexico or other countries significantly increase or are sold in the U.S. in violation of U.S. fair trade laws. The financing agreements governing our debt contain various covenants that limit our discretion in the operation of our business and could lead to acceleration of debt. The spin-off could result in significant tax liability. Our ability to engage in acquisitions and other strategic transactions is subject to limitations because we agreed to certain restrictions in order to comply with U.S. federal income tax requirements for a tax-free spin-off. We may be required to satisfy certain indemnification obligations to Chaparral or may not be able to collect on indemnification rights from Chaparral.
