In the Company's written or oral statements, the use of the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements that have been made and may in the future be made by or on behalf of the Company, including statements concerning future operating performance, the Company's share of new and existing markets, and the Company's short- and long-term revenue and earnings growth rates. Although the Company believes that its outlook is based upon reasonable assumptions regarding the economy, its knowledge of its business, and on key performance indicators that impact the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company's goals will be realized. The Company is not obligated to report changes to its outlook. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company's uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to:

• competitive pressures, including pricing pressures and technological developments;
• changes in the Company's relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors and/or partners in its business ventures;
• changes in political, economic or other factors such as currency exchange rates, inflation rates, recessionary or expansive trends, taxes and regulations and laws affecting the worldwide business in each of the Company's operations, including Brazil, where a significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived;
• acceptance of the Company's product and technology introductions in the marketplace;
• unanticipated litigation, claims or assessments;
• ability to reduce costs and expenses and improve internal operating efficiencies; and
• variation in consumer demand for biometrics and self-service technologies, products and services.
