European Economic Conditions and Foreign Currency Exposures
 
We currently operate manufacturing, sales and service facilities outside of North America, particularly in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Netherlands. In fiscal 2006, International net sales accounted for approximately 15% of our total net sales. Accordingly, we are subject to risks associated with operations in foreign countries, including:
 
  •  fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
  •  limitations on the remittance of dividends and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;
 
  •  additional costs of compliance with local regulations; and
 
  •  historically, in certain countries, higher rates of inflation than in the United States.
 
In addition, our operations outside the United States are subject to the risk of new and different legal and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions, potential difficulties in staffing and managing local operations and potentially adverse tax consequences. The costs related to our International operations could adversely affect our operations and financial results in the future.
