| Forward Looking Statements |

This Annual Report may contain various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include, but are not limited to, our stated goals and expectations regarding our future performance and the expected effect of our cost-saving initiatives, that are based on our beliefs, assumptions and goals, as well as information currently available to us. When used in this document, the words "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "target," "expect," "intend," "should," "would," "could," "will" or "may" and similar expressions also may identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in raw material prices and energy costs, downturns in industrial production, housing and construction and the consumption of durable and non-
|
durable goods, the degree and nature of competition, demand for our products, the degree of success achieved by our new product initiatives, changes in government regulations, our ability to complete acquisitions and successfully integrate the operations of acquired businesses and our ability to comply with our debt covenants and service our substantial indebtedness. Additional relevant risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially are discussed in our registration statements and reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our most recently filed report on Form 10-K. These documents are available from us, and also may be examined at public reference facilities maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission or, to the extent filed via EDGAR, accessed through the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (http://www.sec.gov). We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements we make.
