Forward-looking statements represent our management’s judgment regarding future events. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. Actual results and events could differ materially and adversely from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including: our ability to timely and successfully consummate the acquisition of EPC, including the ability to satisfy all of the conditions precedent to consummation of the transaction; our ability to timely and successfully realize the potential synergies of the EPC transaction; economic changes in global markets where we do business, such as reduced demand for products we sell, weakness in the housing and commercial real estate markets, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, interest rates, recession, foreign government policies and other external factors that we cannot control; fluctuations in commodity prices and raw material costs; cyclical downturns affecting the global market for capital goods; unexpected issues, costs or liabilities arising from the acquisition and integration of EPC and other acquired companies and businesses, or the effects of purchase accounting that may be different than expected; marketplace acceptance of new and existing products including the loss of, or a decline in business from, any significant customers; the impact of capital market transactions that we may effect; the availability and effectiveness of our information technology systems; unanticipated costs associated with litigation, product warranty or product liability matters; the effects of increased international and domestic competition on sales of our energy efficient products; actions taken by our competitors, including new product introductions or technological advances, and other events affecting our industry and competitors; difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; other domestic and international economic and political factors unrelated to our performance, such as the current substantial weakness in economic and business conditions; and other risks and uncertainties including but not limited to those described in Item 1A-Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2010 and from time to time in our reports filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
