On January 14, 2010 the Company filed two suits against Apple Inc. in the Federal District Court in Rochester, New York claiming
infringement of patents related to digital cameras and certain computer processes. The Company is seeking unspecified damages
and other relief.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial,
customs, employment, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course
of business. In addition, the Company is subject to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification
concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum
of the Company’s products. These matters are in various stages of investigation and litigation, and are being vigorously defended.
Although the Company does not expect that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, litigation is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be
rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.
The Company routinely assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability, and
records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.
