Unless otherwise indicated, references to the
Company mean HLI Operating Company, Inc., and its
subsidiaries, and references to a fiscal year means the
Companys year commencing on February 1 of that year and
ending January 31 of the following year (e.g., fiscal 2005 means
the period beginning February 1, 2005, and ending
January 31, 2006). This report contains forward looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial
condition, results of operations, and business of the Company.
All statements other than statements of historical fact made in
this Quarterly Report are forward-looking. Such forward-looking
statements include, among others, those statements including the
words expect, anticipate,
intend, believe and similar language.
These forward looking statements involve certain risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that
may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by such forward looking statements include, among
others: (1) competitive pressure in the Companys
industry; (2) fluctuations in the price of steel, aluminum
and other raw materials; (3) changes in general economic
conditions; (4) the Companys dependence on the
automotive industry (which has historically been cyclical) and
on a small number of major customers for the majority of its
sales; (5) pricing pressure from automotive industry
customers and the potential for re-sourcing of business to
lower-cost providers overseas; (6) changes in the financial
markets affecting the Companys financial structure and the
Companys cost of capital and borrowed money; (7) the
uncertainties inherent in international operations and foreign
currency fluctuations; and (8) the risks described in our
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. You are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. The Company has no duty under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 to update the forward
looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
and the Company does not intend to provide such updates.
