These include statements regarding the Company�s expectation about
revenues (including as expressed by its backlog), its liquidity,
the outcome of litigation and legal proceedings and recoveries from
customers for claims, and the costs of current and future asbestos
claims and the amount and timing of related insurance recoveries.
Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of
risk and uncertainty. The Company cautions that a variety of
factors, including but not limited to the factors described under
Part II, Item 1A. �Risk Factors� in its most recent quarterly
report on Form 10-Q, could cause business conditions and results to
differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking
statements: changes in the rate of economic growth in the United
States and other major international economies; changes in
investment by the power, oil and gas, pharmaceutical and
chemical/petrochemical industries; changes in the financial
condition of the Company�s customers; changes in regulatory
environment; changes in project design or schedules; contract
cancellations; changes in the Company�s estimates of costs to
complete projects; changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies
worldwide; currency fluctuations; war and/or terrorist attacks on
facilities either owned or where equipment or services are or may

litigation regarding the Company�s liability for damages and
insurance coverage for asbestos exposure; protection and validity
of the Company�s patents and other intellectual property rights;
increasing competition by foreign and domestic companies;
compliance with the Company�s debt covenants; recoverability of
claims against the Company�s customers and others by the Company
and claims by third parties against the Company; and changes in
estimates used in the Company�s critical accounting policies. Other
factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in
the formation of these forward-looking statements and the failure
of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors,
may also cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict
accurately and are generally beyond the Company�s control. You

with any forward-looking statements that may be made by the
Company. Foster Wheeler undertakes no obligation to publicly update
