contain forward-looking statements that are based on the Company�s
assumptions, expectations and projections about Foster Wheeler and
the various industries within which it operates. 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 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 be provided; outcomes of pending and future litigation,
including 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
should consider the areas of risk described above in connection
with any forward-looking statements that may be made by the
Company. Foster Wheeler undertakes no obligation to publicly update
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however,
