In accordance with the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we
provide the following cautionary remarks regarding important factors that, among others, could cause future
results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, expectations and assumptions expressed or
implied herein. All forward-looking statements made by us are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not
guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry
results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements. These statements are identified by the use of such terms as "may,"
"could," "expect," "intend," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "anticipate" or other
comparable terms. A full discussion of our operations and financial condition, including factors that may
affect our business and future prospects, is contained in documents we have filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) and will be contained in all subsequent periodic filings we make with the
SEC. These documents identify in detail important risk factors that could cause our actual performance to
differ materially from current expectations.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current and historical
results include, but are not limited to: competitive factors; changes in the healthcare industry; changes in
government regulations that affect us; financial risks associated with our international operations;
fluctuations in quarterly earnings; our dependence on third parties for the manufacture and supply of our
products; transitional challenges associated with acquisitions; regulatory and litigation risks; the dependence
on our continued product development, technical support and successful marketing in the technology
segment; our dependence upon sales personnel and key customers; our dependence on our senior
management; possible increases in the cost of shipping our products or other service trouble with our third-
party shippers; risks from rapid technological change; risks from potential increases in variable interest rates;
financial risks associated with acquisitions; possible volatility of the market price of our common stock;
certain provisions in our governing documents that may discourage third-party acquisitions of us; and changes
in tax legislation that affect us. The order in which these factors appear should not be construed to indicate
their relative importance or priority.
We caution that these factors may not be exhaustive and that many of these factors are beyond
our ability to control or predict. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied
upon as a prediction of actual results. We undertake no duty and have no obligation to update forward-
looking statements.
