Market-based restricted stock of 363,288 shares for the six months ended June 27, 2008 and 98,431 shares for the six months ended June 29, 2007 were not included in the above computations.

Note 7: Stock-Based Compensation

We have six stock compensation plans at June 27, 2008: the 2008 Value Creation Incentive Plan, the 2008 Directors’ Plan, the 2007 Value Creation Incentive Plan, the 2004 Value Creation Incentive Plan, the 1999 Shareholder Value Plan, and the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.

On April 28, 2008, our shareholders approved the 2008 Value Creation Incentive Plan pursuant to which restricted stock awards may be granted to certain key executives. The restricted stock will vest only upon achievement of certain target average closing prices of our common stock over the 40-consecutive trading day period which ends on the third anniversary of the date of grant, such that 33 percent of such shares shall vest if the 40-day average closing price of at least $13.00 but less than $14.00 is achieved, 66 percent of such shares shall vest if the 40-day average closing price of at least $14.00 but less than $15.00 is achieved, and 100 percent of such shares shall vest if the 40-day average closing price of $15.00 or greater is achieved. The restricted shares vest upon a change of control if the share price at the date of the change of control is equal to or greater than $13.00. Shares of the restricted stock are forfeited if the specified closing prices of our common stock are not met. 100,000 shares from the 2008 Value Creation Incentive Plan were awarded as of June 27, 2008. Zero shares are available to be awarded as of June 27, 2008.

On April 28, 2008, our shareholders also adopted the 2008 Directors’ Plan. The plan entitles each of Nashua’s directors, with the exception of our chief executive officer, to receive restricted stock units. The restricted stock units will vest as to 25 percent of the shares subject to award as of the grant date and, for as long as the director continues to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, will vest as to an additional 25 percent of the shares subject to award at the end of each successive three-month period following the grant date until fully vested. 48,570 restricted stock units from the 2008 Directors’ Plan were awarded as of June 27, 2008. 21,430 restricted stock units are available to be awarded as of June 27, 2008.

Our four additional stock compensation plans are described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note 8: Contingencies

Environmental

We are involved in certain environmental matters and have been designated by the Environmental Protection Agency, referred to as the EPA, as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous waste sites. In addition, we have been notified by certain state environmental agencies that some of our sites not addressed by the EPA require remedial action. These sites are in various stages of investigation and remediation. Due to the unique physical characteristics of each site, the technology employed, the extended timeframes of each remediation, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the financial viability of other potential participants, our ultimate cost of remediation is difficult to estimate. Accordingly, estimates could either increase or decrease in the future due to changes in such factors. At June 27, 2008, based on the facts currently known and our prior experience with these matters, we have concluded that it is probable that site assessment, remediation and monitoring costs will be incurred. We have estimated a range for these costs of $1.1 million to $1.6 million for continuing operations. These estimates could increase if other potentially responsible parties or our insurance carriers are unable or unwilling to bear their allocated share and cannot be compelled to do so. At June 27, 2008, our accrual balances relating to environmental matters were $1.1 million for continuing operations. Based on information currently available, we believe that it is probable that the major potentially responsible parties will fully pay the costs apportioned to them. We believe that our remediation expense is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

State Street Bank and Trust

On October 24, 2007, the Nashua Pension Plan Committee filed a Class Action Complaint with the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against State Street Bank and Trust, State Street Global Advisors, Inc. and John Does 1-20. On January 14, 2008, the Nashua Pension Plan Committee filed a revised Complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New York against the same defendants. The Complaint alleges that the defendants violated their obligation as fiduciaries under the Employment Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974. On February 7, 2008, the Court consolidated our action with other pending ERISA actions and appointed the Nashua Pension Plan Committee as one of the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated action. On March 27, 2008, the lead plaintiffs filed a request to file a consolidated amended complaint. Discovery commenced in March 2008 and is ongoing.

Other

We are involved in various other lawsuits, claims and inquiries, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. In the opinion of our management, the resolution of these matters will not materially affect us.

Note 9: Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (FAS 157), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. FAS 157 defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

Relative to FAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) 157-1 and 157-2. FSP 157-1 amends FAS 157 to exclude FAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of FAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis.

We adopted FAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as permitted. Non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which we have not applied the provisions of FAS 157 include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing and indefinite lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment testing.

FAS 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of

-9-

observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that we use to measure fair value.


Level 1:		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:		Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table sets forth the financial liability as of June 27, 2008 that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by FAS 157, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (FAS 159). This standard allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value. Subsequent measurements for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings. FAS 159 also established additional disclosure requirements. The requirements for FAS 159 were effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We have adopted FAS 159 and have elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value. The adoption of FAS 159 had no impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read along with our 2007 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Our business has been affected by the downturn in the economy as evidenced by the decline in sales, the increase in raw material cost and fuel cost impacting both gross margins and distribution cost. As a result, we incurred a severance charge of $.6 million in the second quarter in connection with the elimination of 28 positions. We estimate the annualized savings associated with the elimination of the positions to be $1.6 million.

During the second quarter of 2008 we also reserved an additional $.2 million in our environmental reserve related to the potential settlement of our exposure to clean up cost for diminimus parties for sites in Connecticut.

Our net sales from continuing operations decreased $.7 million, or 1.0 percent, to $67.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $67.7 million for the second quarter of 2007. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales in our Label Products segment partially offset by increased sales in our Specialty Paper Products segment. Our net sales decreased $2.0 million, or 1.5 percent, to $130.9 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $132.9 million for the first six months of 2007. The decrease was due to decreased sales in our Label Products segment partially offset by increased sales in our Specialty Paper Products segment.

Our gross margin percentage decreased from 18.2 percent for the second quarter of 2007 to 16.9 percent for the second quarter of 2008. Gross margin decreased from $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2007 to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2008, primarily the result of lower sales volume in our Label Products segment. The margin decreased as a percentage in both our Label Products and Specialty Paper Products segments. Our gross margin percentage decreased from 17.9 percent for the first six months of 2007 to 16.2 percent for the first six months of 2008. Gross margin decreased from $23.7 million for the first six months of 2007 to $21.2 million for the first six months of 2008 as a result of lower sales volume in our Label Products segment. The margins decreased as a percentage in both our Label Products and Specialty Paper Products segments.

Distribution expenses increased $.3 million to $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to the conversion of our Cranbury, New Jersey plant from a manufacturing facility to a distribution facility in January 2008, increased freight rates partially due to higher fuel prices and severance charges related to closing the Cranbury facility effective July 31, 2008. The Mid Atlantic and Northeast distribution for certain of our wide format products will be transferred from the Cranbury, New Jersey facility to a public warehouse. The severance related to the New Jersey closure was $43,000. Distribution expenses increased $.9 million to $6.8 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $5.9 million for the first six months of 2007. The increase was primarily due to the conversion of our New Jersey plant to a distribution facility, also increased freight rates partially due to higher fuel prices and severance charges related to our decision to close the Cranbury distribution facility effective July 31, 2008. As a percentage of sales, distribution expenses increased from 4.4 percent for the first six months of 2007 to 5.2 percent for the first six months of 2008.

Selling expenses increased $.3 million to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2007. When compared to 2007, the increase was primarily the result of increased expenses related to bad debt, increased employee benefit costs and charges related to our workforce reduction. During the quarter severance cost of $.2 million was incurred relative to the reduction in workforce. Selling expenses increased $.3 million to $6.3 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $6.0 million for the first six months of 2007. The increase was the result of charges related to severance related to our workforce reduction and increased employee wage and benefit costs. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses increased from 4.5 percent for the first six months of 2007 to 4.8 percent for the first six months of 2008.

General and administrative expenses increased $.1 million to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. The increase was the result of charges related to our workforce reduction, increased environmental expenses and increased employee costs, partially offset by lower management incentive plan expenses and lower professional fees. During the quarter severance cost of $.3 million was incurred relative to the reduction in workforce. Also environmental cost increased $.2 million related to incremental cost associated with certain Connecticut sites. General and administrative expenses decreased $.8 million to $7.8 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $8.6 million

-11-

for the first six months of 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower management incentive plan expenses, professional fees and amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by higher employee salary and benefit costs, severance cost and environmental cost. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased from 6.5 percent for the first six months of 2007 to 6.0 percent for the first six months of 2008.

Research and development expenses remained unchanged at $.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $.4 million for the first six months of 2008 when compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2007.

Net interest income was $.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to net interest expense of $36,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The change was the result of a decrease of $.1 million in interest expense related to bank debt and an increase of $.1 million in the fair value of our interest rate swap offset by a decrease in interest income. Net interest expense increased $.2 million to $.3 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007. The increase was primarily the result of a $.2 million change in the fair value of our interest rate swap.

Other income decreased $.1 million to $.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $.3 million for the second quarter of 2007 and decreased $.1 million to $.5 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $.6 million for the first six months of 2007 primarily due to lower royalty income generated from the sale of toner formulations in 2006.

The estimated annual effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 40.1 percent for 2008 which is consistent with 40.8 percent for 2007. The estimated rates were higher than the U.S. statutory rate principally due to the impact of state income taxes.

Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $.3 million for the first six months of 2007 and included the reimbursement of legal fees related to the Cerion litigation which was favorably concluded in the first quarter of 2007.

Our net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $.3 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.21 per share, for the second quarter of 2007. Our net loss for the first six months of 2008 was $.1 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.36 per share, for the first six months of 2007.

Net sales for our Label Products segment decreased $3.3 million, or 11.6 percent, to $25.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $28.4 million for the second quarter of 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases of $2.6 million in our automatic identification product lines, $.8 million in our EDP product line and $.8 million in our supermarket scale product line which more than offset increases of $.5 million in our ticket product line, $.2 million in our RFID product line and $.2 million in our other product lines. The decrease in our automatic identification product line was the result of lower volume associated with the slowing economy and lost business, the decrease in our EDP product line was primarily the result of market erosion due to technology changes and the decrease in our supermarket scale product line was the net result of business gains and losses. Net sales decreased $5.5 million, or 9.7 percent, to $51.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $56.7 million for the first six months of 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases of $4.0 million in our automatic identification product line, $1.1 million in our EDP product line, $.6 million in our supermarket scale product line and $.6 million in our retail shelf product line. The decreases were partially offset by increases $.4 million in our ticket product line and $.4 million in other product lines. The decrease in our automatic identification product line was attributable to lower volume associated with the economic downturn and lost business and the decrease in our EDP and supermarket scale product lines was the result of lost business. The increase in our ticket product line was the result of increased business to an existing customer as well as business from new customers.

Gross margin for our Label Products segment decreased $1.3 million to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. As a percentage of net sales, the gross margin percentage decreased from 18.5 percent for the second quarter of 2007 to 15.8 percent for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to decreased volumes as well as competitive pricing pressures in the marketplace and increased employee wage and benefit

costs. Gross margin decreased $2.5 million to $7.8 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $10.3 million for the first six months of 2007. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased from 18.2 percent for the first six months of 2007 to 15.2 percent for the first six months of 2008. The decrease was the result of decreased volumes and competitive pricing in the marketplace and increases employee wage and benefit cost.

Net sales for our Specialty Paper products increased $2.6 million to $42.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $40.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily the result of increases of $3.4 million in our thermal point-of-sale product line, $1.2 million in our thermal facesheet product line and $.1 million in our thermal ticket and tag product line. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $.6 million in our retail product line, $.5 million in our thermal film product line and $1.0 million in other product lines. The increase in our thermal point-of-sale product line was mainly attributable to customer price increases and new business. The increase in our thermal facesheet product line was primarily the result of increased business to existing customers. Net sales increased $3.1 million to $81.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $78.1 million for the first six months of 2007. The increase was the result of increases of $5.2 million in our thermal point-of-sale product line due to new business and price increases, $.8 million in our thermal facesheet product line due to increased business from existing customers and $.3 million in our security product line as the result of new business. The increases were partially offset by lower sales of $.6 million in our wide format product line, $.7 million in our retail product line and $1.9 million spread across other product lines.

Gross margin for our Specialty Paper Products segment increased $.4 million to $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2007. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased from 17.1 percent for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 16.8 percent for the second quarter of 2008. The increase of $.4 million in gross margin was mainly attributable to increased volume in our thermal point-of-sale products and our paper coating business and the conversion of our Cranbury, New Jersey facility from a manufacturing center to a distribution center in January 2008. The increase was partially offset by competitive pricing in our thermal product lines and increased manufacturing expenses in our paper coating business. Gross margin remained relatively unchanged at $13.1 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $13.2 million for the first six months of 2007. As a percentage of net sales, the gross margin percentage decreased from 16.8 percent for the first six months of 2007 to 16.1 percent for the first six months of 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of lower margins in our coated business as the result of a product quality issue partially offset by higher margins in our point-of-sale business due to increased sales volumes and lower manufacturing expenses partially due to the conversion of our Cranbury, New Jersey wide format facility from a manufacturing center to a distribution center.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents remained unchanged during the first six months of 2008 at $7.4 million. Cash provided by operations offset cash used in investing activities. Our cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations are combined in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Cash flow provided by operations of $.6 million for the first six months of 2008 resulted primarily from our loss of $.1 million adjusted by $2.1 million of depreciation and amortization, $.4 million of stock based compensation offset by a contribution to our pension plans of $1.7 million and $.3 million related to the amortization of the deferred gain related to the 2006 sale of the New Hampshire real estate. The change in net operating assets and liabilities was $18,000 for the first six months of 2008 and resulted from a $1.9 million increase in inventory and a $.7 million decrease in accrued expenses offset by a $1.4 million increase in accounts payable, $.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $.4 million decrease in other assets and a $.6 million increase in other liabilities. The increase in inventory is primarily attributable to increases in both our Label Products and Specialty Paper Products segments mainly due to increased raw material purchases prior to raw material price increases and build up of inventory prior to scheduled plant shutdowns in July in our coated and point-of-sale businesses, while the decrease in accrued expenses is mainly the result of the payment of 2007 incentive compensation. The increase in accounts payable is attributable to an increase in our Specialty Paper Products segment partially offset by a decrease in our Label Products segment due to increased inventory purchases.

Cash used in investing activities of $.7 million related to cash used for investments in fixed assets.

Future cash flows will be affected by our planned contribution of $6.2 million to our pension plans for the remainder of 2008. We plan to fund this cash requirement with our current available cash and through our revolving loan agreement, if required.

We had $24.8 million available borrowing capacity at June 27, 2008 under our revolving loan commitment. Our loan commitments and borrowing capacity are described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following important factors, among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

We face significant competition.

The markets for our products are highly competitive, and our ability to effectively compete in those markets is critical to our future success. Our future performance and market position depend on a number of factors, including our ability to react to competitive pricing pressures, our ability to hire qualified sales personnel, our ability to maintain manufacturing costs, our ability to introduce new value-added products and services to the market and our ability to react to the commoditization of products. Our performance could also be impacted by external factors, such as:

	•		increasing pricing pressures from competitors in the markets for our products;

	•		a faster decline than anticipated in the more mature, higher margin product lines, such as heat seal and drygum products, due to changing technologies;

-15-

	•		natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and pandemic events, which could cause our customers to close a number or all of their stores or operations for an extended period of time causing our sales to be reduced during the period of closure;

	•		our ability to pass on raw material price increases to customers;

	•		our ability to pass on increased freight cost due to fuel price fluctuations; and

	•		our ability to pass on manufacturing cost increases.

Our Specialty Paper Products segment operates a manufacturing facility in New Hampshire, which has relatively higher operating costs compared to manufacturing locations in other parts of the United States where some of our competitors are located or operate. Some of our competitors may be larger in size or scope than we are, which may allow them to achieve greater economies of scale on a global basis or allow them to better withstand periods of declining prices and adverse operating conditions.

In addition, there has been an increasing trend among our customers towards consolidation. With fewer customers in the market for our products, the strength of our negotiating position with these customers could be weakened, which could have an adverse effect on our pricing, margins, profitability and recoverability of assets including goodwill.

We have a wide diversity of customers but there are a number of individual customers that could impact our financial condition. The business risk associated with these customers relates to potential sales declines due to their individual business needs or loss of business to competitors and increased credit risk due to the concentration of these customers.

Increases in raw material costs or the unavailability of raw materials may adversely affect our profitability.

We depend on outside suppliers for the raw materials used in our business. Although we believe that adequate supplies of the raw materials we use are available, any significant decrease in supplies, any increase in costs or a greater increase in delivery costs for these materials could result in a decrease in our margins, which could harm our financial condition. Our Specialty Paper Products and Label Products segments are impacted by the economic conditions and the plant capacity dynamics within the paper and label industry. In general, the availability and pricing of commodity paper such as uncoated facesheet is affected by the capacity of the paper mills producing the products. Cost increases at paper manufacturers, or other producers of the raw materials which we use in our business, and capacity constraints in paper manufacturers’ operations could cause increases in the costs of raw materials, which could harm our financial condition if we are unable to recover the cost from our customers. Conversely, an excess supply of materials by manufacturers could result in lower selling prices and the risk of eroded margins.

We have periodically been able to pass on significant raw material cost increases through price increases to our customers. Nonetheless, our results of operations for individual quarters can and have been negatively impacted by delays between the time of raw material cost increases and price increases for our products to customers. Additionally, we may be unable to increase our prices to offset higher raw material costs due to the failure of competitors to increase prices and customer resistance to price increases. Additionally, we rely on our suppliers for deliveries of raw materials. If any of our suppliers were unable to deliver raw materials to us for an extended period of time, there is no assurance that our raw material requirements would be met by other suppliers on acceptable terms, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.

A decline in returns on the investment portfolio of our defined benefit plans, changes in mortality tables and interest rates could require us to increase cash contributions to the plans and negatively impact our financial statements.

Funding for the defined benefit pension plans we sponsor is determined based upon the funded status of the plans and a number of actuarial assumptions, including an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate utilized to compute pension liabilities. All of our defined benefit pension plan benefits are frozen. The defined benefit plans were underfunded as of December 31, 2007 by approximately $24.7 million after utilizing the actuarial methods and assumptions for purposes of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions and FAS 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FAS Nos. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). As a result, we expect to experience an increase in our future cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans. We contributed $5.3 million in 2007 and $1.7 million in the first six months of 2008 and expect to contribute $6.2 million for the remainder of 2008. In the event that actual results differ from the actuarial assumptions, the funded status of our defined benefit plans may change and any such resulting deficiency could result in additional charges to equity and against earnings and increase our required cash contributions.

-16-

We are dependent on key personnel and on the retention and recruiting of key personnel for our future success.

Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our key administrative, manufacturing, sales and senior management personnel. We do not have employment agreements with most of our executives and do not maintain key person life insurance on any of these executives. We do have an employment agreement with Thomas G. Brooker, who has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since May 4, 2006. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives and could harm our business. While we have entered into executive severance agreements with many of our key employees, there can be no assurance that the severance agreements will provide adequate incentives to retain these employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees for key positions. There is market competition for qualified employees. We may not be able to retain our key employees or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees in the future.

We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience from time to time, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications for certain positions.

New technologies or changes in consumer preferences may affect our ability to compete successfully.

We believe that new technologies or novel processes may emerge and that existing technologies may be further developed in the fields in which we operate. These technologies or processes could have an impact on production methods or on product quality in these fields.

Unexpected rapid changes in employed technologies or the development of novel processes that affect our operations and product range could render the technologies we utilize, or the products we produce, obsolete or less competitive in the future. Difficulties in assessing new technologies may impede us from implementing them and competitive pressures may force us to implement these new technologies at a substantial cost. Any such development could materially and adversely impact our revenues or profitability, or both.

Additionally, the preferences of our customers may change as the result of the availability of alternative products or services, which could impact consumption of our products.

Any future litigation relating to our intellectual property rights could have an adverse impact on our business.

We rely on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary technology. Litigation may be necessary to enforce these rights, which could result in substantial costs to us and a substantial diversion of management attention. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our competitors or other parties could use the intellectual property that we have developed to enhance their products or make products similar to ours and compete more efficiently with us, which could result in a decrease in our market share.

While we have attempted to ensure that our products and the operations of our business do not infringe on other parties’ patents and proprietary rights, our competitors and other parties may assert that our products and operations may be covered by patents held by them. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, which may later result in issued patents upon which our products may infringe. If any of our products infringe a valid patent, we could be prevented from selling them unless we obtain a license or redesign the products to avoid infringement. A license may not always be available or may require us to pay substantial royalties. We also may not be successful in any attempt to redesign any of our products to avoid infringement. Infringement and other intellectual property claims, regardless of merit or ultimate outcome, can be expensive and time-consuming and can divert management’s attention from our core business.

Our information systems are critical to our business, and a failure of those systems could materially harm us.

We depend on our ability to store, retrieve, process and manage a significant amount of information. If our information systems fail to perform as expected, or if we suffer an interruption, malfunction or loss of information processing capabilities, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional risks and expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and the NASDAQ Stock Market rules, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying

-17-

interpretations in many cases and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and management time and attention. In particular, our efforts to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and our external auditors’ audit of that assessment has required the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. We complied with the Section 404 requirements for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. We expect our compliance efforts to require the continued commitment of significant resources. Additionally, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, our reputation may be harmed and we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such action could adversely affect our business and the market price of our stock.
