Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors, including changes in demand for products sold to the semiconductor, communications and commercial aviation markets, timely development of acceptable and competitive fuel cell products and systems, funding, continuation and award of government programs, receipt of (or failure to receive) government award fees based on collective performance achievements of multiple contractors, the terms of the Company’s renewal of its current products liability insurance policy, continued liquidity of our customers (including commercial airline customers) and economic and political conditions, could change the anticipated results. United States’ and global responses to the Middle East conflict, terrorism and perceived nuclear threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements about our businesses. Various responses could realign government programs, and affect the composition, funding or timing of our programs. As happened after the September 11th terrorist attacks, reinstatement of flight restrictions would negatively impact the market for general aviation aircraft piston engine and components.
