The Report includes or incorporates by reference information which may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although the Registrant believes the expectations contained in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurances can be given that such expectations will prove correct. Such forward- looking information is based upon management's current plans or expectations and is subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect current plans, anticipated actions and the Registrant's future financial condition and results. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, those relating to successfully managing an aggressive program to acquire and integrate new companies, including companies with technical services and products that are relatively new to the Registrant, and also including companies outside the United States, which present additional risks relating to international operations; risks and uncertainties relating to conducting operations in a competitive environment; delays, difficulties, technological changes, management transitions and employment issues associated with a large-scale transformation project; debt service requirements (including sensitivity to fluctuation in interest rates); and general economic conditions.
