Examples of the Company’s significant accounting estimates that may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others include: the determination of other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities; the valuation of inventories; the valuation and assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived and long-lived assets; the recognition, measurement and disclosure of loss contingencies related to legal proceedings; and the calculation of tax liabilities, including the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions and the determination that the operating earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.</font></div></div>
