Item 2. Management’s Discussion and A nalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q or in any other presentation, statements which are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “would,” “could” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They also include statements containing a projection of sales, earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial terms. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are based upon our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future operations and economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from expectations are: • we are subject to risk as a result of our international manufacturing operations and are subject to the risk of doing business in foreign countries, particularly in China, Vietnam and India, including risks relating to the impacts of tariff policies and other trade maneuvers, which could affect our ability to manufacture or sell our products, obtain products from foreign suppliers or control the costs of our products; • a terrorist attack, other geopolitical crisis, or widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue could negatively impact our domestic and/or international operations; • our results of operations could be negatively affected by potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; • our results of operations may vary wide
