This excerpt taken from the ICI 6-K filed Mar 21, 2007.

Risks associated with the Group’s international operations could adversely affect its results of operations, cash flow and/or financial condition.

ICI is an international business with operations in over 50 countries and conducts business in many currencies. These operations are subject to the risks associated with international operations which include:

slowdown or recession in global, regional or national economic growth;
   
imposition or removal of tariffs and trade barriers;
   
exchange controls;
   
fluctuations in national currencies;
   
social and political risks;
   
national and regional labour disputes;
   
required compliance with a variety of foreign laws, regulations and standards; and
   
the difficulty of enforcing legal claims and agreements through some foreign legal systems.

Furthermore, some of the Group’s businesses are subject to cyclical fluctuations in the industries and economies in which they operate. Finally, like all international businesses, the Group faces the risk of exposure when costs arise in a different currency from sales and the risk arising from the need to translate foreign currency denominated profits into pounds Sterling, the Group’s reporting currency. Any of the risks discussed above could adversely affect its results of operations, cash flow and/or financial condition.
