Certain of the statements made in this website are forward-looking statements
(within the meaning of Section 21E of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934), which are based on our current
assumptions and beliefs in light of the information currently
available to us. These forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are
not limited to: general economic conditions in our markets,
which are primarily Japan, North America, Europe and Asia,
particularly China; unexpected changes in economic, political
and legal conditions in China; our ability to develop, launch
and produce innovative products, including meeting quality
and delivery standards, and our ability to otherwise meet
the advancing technological requirements of our customers,
particularly in the highly competitive markets for ceramics,
semiconductor parts and electronic components; manufacturing
delays or defects resulting from outsourcing or internal manufacturing
processes which may adversely affect our production yields
and operating results; factors that may affect our exports,
including a strong yen, political and economic instability,
difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, decrease
in cost competitiveness of our products, increases in shipping
and handling costs, difficulty in staffing and managing international
operations and inadequate protection of our intellectual property;
changes in exchange rates, particularly between the yen and
the U.S. dollar and euro, respectively, in which we make significant
sales; exposure to credit risk on trade receivables due to
customers' worsening financial condition; inability
to secure skilled employees, particularly engineering and
technical personnel; insufficient protection of our trade
secrets and patents; our continuing to hold licenses to manufacture
and sell certain of our products; the possibility that future
initiatives and in-process research and development may not
produce the desired results; the possibility that companies
or assets acquired by us may require more cost than expected
for integration, and may not produce the returns or benefits,
or bring in business opportunities, which we expect; events
that may impact negatively on our markets or supply chain,
including terrorist acts and outbreaks of disease; the occurrence
of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, in locations where
our manufacturing and other key business facilities are located;
the possibility of future tightening of environmental laws
and regulations in Japan and other countries which may increase
our environmental liability and compliance obligations; fluctuations
in the value of, and impairment losses on, securities and
other assets held by us; and changes in accounting principles.
Such risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our
actual results, performance, achievements or financial position
to be materially different from any future results, performance,
achievements or financial position expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statements included
in this website.
