We consider the relationships with our employees to be positive. Competition for technical personnel in the
industry in which we compete is intense. We believe that our future success depends in part on our continued
ability to hire, assimilate, and retain qualified personnel. To date, we believe that we have been successful in
recruiting qualified employees, but there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in the future.
