When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “seek,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “strategy” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect the Company’s future plans, operations, business strategies, operating results and financial position. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: exposure to increases in the cost of the Company’s products, including increases in the cost of the Company’s petroleum-based plastic products, and the limited ability of the Company to raise the selling prices of its products; dependence for products and product components from Pacific Rim contract manufacturers, including on-time delivery that could be interrupted as a result of third party labor disputes, political factors or shipping disruptions, quality control and exposure to changes in costs and changes in the valuation of the Chinese Yuan; dependence on, and ability to retain, its “as-ordered” general supply agreements with its largest three customers and win new contracts; continued dependence on the traditional copper-based telephone operating company (“Telco”) market which has been declining over the last several years due principally to the impact of alternate technologies and competition from multi-system operators; the effect of rising interest rates on new housing starts which account for a large percentage of NID sales; the level of inventories maintained by the Company’s customers; the ability to market and sell products to new markets beyond its principal market – the copper-based Telco market; the ability to timely develop products and adapt its existing products to address technological changes, including changes in its principal market; weather and similar conditions, particularly the effect of hurricanes or typhoons on the Company’s manufacturing, assembly and warehouse facilities in Puerto Rico and the Pacific Rim; competition in the Company’s traditional Telco market and in the new markets the Company is seeking to penetrate; potential changes in customers’ spending and purchasing policies and practices; general economic and business conditions, especially as they pertain to the Telco industry; dependence on third parties for certain product development; risks inherent in new product development and sales, such as start-up delays and uncertainty of customer acceptance; the ability to attract and retain technologically qualified personnel; and the availability of financing on satisfactory terms.
