The Company believes that its trademarks have a significant value and are
important to the marketing of the Company's products. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be able to effectively obtain rights to its marks
throughout all of the countries of the world. Moreover, no assurance can be
given that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and
other proprietary rights of the Company or that the Company will be able to
successfully resolve such conflicts. The failure of the Company to protect such
rights from unlawful and improper appropriation may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business and financial condition.
