Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release regarding the
Company’s expectations for its financial results for 2011 and the
potential for various businesses and products are forward-looking
statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
statements as a result of a wide variety of factors. Such factors
include, but are not limited to economic conditions in the U.S. and
abroad and their effect on capital spending in our principal
markets; difficulty predicting the timing of receipt of major
customer orders, and the effect of customer timing decisions on our
results; our successful completion of technological development
programs and the effects of technology that may be developed by,
and patent rights that may be held or obtained by, competitors;
U.S. defense budget pressures on near-term spending priorities;
uncertainties inherent in the process of converting contract awards
into firm contractual orders in the future; volatility of foreign
currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and their
effect on purchasing power by international customers, and on the
cost structure of the our operations outside the U.S., as well as
the potential for realizing foreign exchange gains and losses
associated with assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies; successful resolution of technical problems, proposed
scope changes, or proposed funding changes that may be encountered
on contracts; changes in our consolidated effective income tax rate
caused by the extent to which actual taxable earnings in the U.S.,
Canada and other taxing jurisdictions may vary from expected
taxable earnings, changes in tax laws, and the extent to which
deferred tax assets are considered realizable; successful
transition of products from development stages to an efficient
manufacturing environment; changes in the rates at which our
products are returned for repair or replacement under warranty;
customer response to new products and services, and general
conditions in our target markets (such as logistics and space-based
communications) and whether these responses and conditions develop
according to our expectations; the increased potential for asset
impairment charges as unfavorable economic or financial market
conditions or other developments might affect the estimated fair
value of one or more of our business units; the success of certain
of our customers in marketing our line of high-speed commercial
airline communications products as a complementary offering with
their own lines of avionics products; the availability of financing
for various mobile and high-speed data communications systems; risk
that unsettled conditions in the credit markets may make it more
difficult for some customers to obtain financing and adversely
affect their ability to pay, which in turn could have an adverse
impact on our business, operating results and financial condition;
development of successful working relationships with local business
and government personnel in connection with distribution and
manufacture of products in foreign countries; the demand growth for
various mobile and high-speed data communications services; our
ability to attract and retain qualified senior management and other
personnel, particularly those with key technical skills; our
ability to effectively integrate our acquired businesses, products
or technologies into our existing businesses and products, and the
risk that any such acquired businesses, products or technologies do
not perform as expected, are subject to undisclosed or
unanticipated liabilities, or are otherwise dilutive to our
earnings; the potential effects, on cash and results of
discontinued operations, of final resolution of potential
liabilities under warranties and representations that we made, and
obligations assumed by purchasers, in connection with our
dispositions of discontinued operations; the availability,
capabilities and performance of suppliers of basic materials,
electronic components and sophisticated subsystems on which we must
rely in order to perform according to contract requirements, or to
introduce new products on the desired schedule; uncertainties
associated with U.S. export controls and the export license
process, which restrict our ability to hold technical discussions
with customers, suppliers and internal engineering resources and
can reduce our ability to obtain sales from customers outside the
U.S. or to perform contracts with the desired level of efficiency
or profitability; our ability to maintain compliance with the
requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal
Communications Commission, and with other government regulations
affecting our products and their production, service and
functioning; and costs associated with a recent announcement by one
of shareholders that it intends to nominate four directors to our
Board. Further information concerning relevant factors and risks
are identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
