Company will realize these expectations or that these beliefs will prove correct.
There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained in this presentation.  Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward-looking statements. These risk factors include general
economic and industry conditions and consumer confidence; uncertainties arising from global events; the effects of changes in
foreign exchange rates on the Company’s reported earnings; consumer acceptance of the Company’s products; industry

timely and cost-effective production and delivery of its products, and manage its growth; rising commodity costs; the Company’s
ability to protect and maintain its intellectual property; the Company’s ability to respond to regulatory requirements; the
Company’s ability to retain members of its senior management team; the effects of increased interest rates; the effects of labor
relations on business operations and costs; the effects of increased product return rates or a reduction in warranty reserves; the
market price for the Company’s common stock prevailing from time to time; and the nature of other investment opportunities
presented to the Company from time to time. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties are
discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K under the headings "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors".  Any

any forward-looking statements for any reason, including to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such
statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.
