GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

We are a global provider of software solutions for Business Performance Management, providing customers worldwide with financial and operational technology
solutions to improve their business performance in real time. Geac Performance Management ("GPM") is an integrated product suite that we offer for business performance management that enables
companies to bolster their effectiveness by tightening the linkage between business strategy formulation and operational execution. Our software solutions include cross-industry Enterprise Application
Systems ("EAS") and Industry Specific Applications ("ISA"). Our EAS group serves enterprises around the world by providing software systems for financial administration and human resources functions,
expense management, strategy management, budgeting, financial consolidation, management reporting and analysis and enterprise resource planning, applications for manufacturing, distribution and supply
chain management. Our ISA group provides industry-specific business applications for the real estate, restaurant, property management, local government and construction marketplaces, as well as a wide
range of applications for libraries and public safety agencies. In addition, we offer a broad range of professional services related to our software such as consulting, implementation and integration
services, remote application management and training. We also resell third party software and hardware products for use in conjunction with our software products and services where appropriate to
provide our customers with a more complete solution.

The
following is a summary description of the significant events that have influenced the general development of Geac's business over the course of the last three fiscal years.

Fiscal Year 2002

FY 2002 was a pivotal year for Geac. An anticipated decline in legacy software maintenance revenue was aggravated by a worldwide economic slowdown. We, like many
other companies in the software industry, experienced revenue declines in all regions and across all major product lines. Nevertheless, we were able to meet our primary objectives for FY 2002. These
objectives included strengthening our management team, investing in target product development areas, including new wireless applications, web-based products and web extensions, refocusing
and better aligning our development, sales and marketing efforts, expanding our market opportunities and technology through relationships with strategic partners and significantly strengthening our
balance sheet.

In
May 2001, the Corporation entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters under which the underwriters agreed to buy 10 million special warrants to acquire
units consisting of one common
share plus one-half of a common share purchase warrant. The special warrants were issued at Cdn.$2.00 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of Cdn.$20.0 million. The net proceeds to
Geac after underwriters' fees and other issue expenses were approximately Cdn.$17.9 million. On August 1, 2001, the 10 million special warrants were automatically exercised which
resulted in the issuance of 10 million common shares and five million common share purchase warrants. Each common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share of the
Corporation for Cdn.$2.75 at any time until December 30, 2002.

On
September 27, 2001, the Corporation also completed the sale, through a public offering on a bought deal basis, of six million common shares at a price of Cdn.$4.50 per share.
The offering raised gross proceeds of Cdn.$27 million with the net proceeds to Geac after commissions and other issue expenses of approximately Cdn.$24.8 million.

The
outstanding balance under the Corporation's $225.0 million credit facility was repaid in full in the second quarter of FY 2002. As a result, as at April 30, 2002, the
Corporation had no bank indebtedness outstanding.

The
Corporation entered into a 24 month revolving credit facility in the second quarter of FY 2002 in the amount of $20.0 million. This facility was collateralized by a
substantial portion of the Corporation's assets and bore interest at a variable rate. There was no drawdown under this facility and it was terminated by the Corporation in March 2002.

During
the fourth quarter, the Corporation undertook a comprehensive review of its operations with the objective of reducing costs and increasing effectiveness. As a result of this
effort, Geac streamlined operations, centralized management of its SmartStream and System21 enterprise applications, refocused development and reduced the size of its workforce.

Acquisitions

There were no acquisitions made during FY 2002.

Dispositions

Geac sold its publishing systems business in August 2001 for Cdn.$1.5 million in cash. The sale excluded real estate assets. The net liabilities
disposed of included accrued divestiture costs and amounted to approximately Cdn.$3.6 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately Cdn.$5.1 million which was recorded as
an unusual item on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for FY 2002.

Fiscal Year 2003

We achieved several milestones in FY 2003. In view of an expected decline in revenues from our legacy enterprise and certain industry specific applications, we
continued to manage our costs in line with revenues, and the fourth quarter of FY 2003 marked the Corporation's eighth consecutive profitable quarter, excluding net restructuring and other unusual
items. Geac continued to strengthen its balance sheet, and its cash position, excluding restricted cash, increased from $73.6 million (Cdn.$115.4 million) at the end of FY 2002 to
$89.8 million (Cdn.$128.8 million) at the end of FY 2003. In addition, with the acquisition of Extensity, Inc. ("Extensity") in the fourth quarter and the release of our new Geac
System21 Aurora product, which combines next-generation enterprise resource planning functionality with real-time process management capabilities, we made significant progress
executing on our strategy to deliver a suite of innovative software solutions through a unified application framework, which measures and manages operational and financial processes to improve its
customers' overall business performance.

During
the second and third quarters of FY 2003, all five million common share purchase warrants issued in FY 2002 in connection with the Corporation's special warrant financing in
May 2001 were exercised. As a result of this exercise, share capital in the Corporation increased by $8.7 million (Cdn.$13.8 million) and the fair value of the purchase warrants
of $1.1 million (Cdn.$1.8 million) was reclassified and recognized as part of the issued share capital of the Corporation.

Acquisitions

In FY 2003, we completed two acquisitions, the most significant being the acquisition of California-based Extensity, a leading software applications provider of
solutions to automate employee-based financial systems. Effective March 6, 2003, Geac acquired 100% of the common shares of Extensity. The purchase price was approximately $50.3 million
(Cdn.$74.0 million), consisting of $43.4 million (Cdn.$63.9 million) of cash and the issuance of 932,736 common shares in the capital of the Corporation. Since Extensity had
$29.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at the date of acquisition, our net cash outflow resulting from the completion of the acquisition was $20.3 million. This acquisition was a
significant step in the execution of Geac's strategy to expand into the Business Performance Management software market. The Extensity business has been integrated into the Corporation's Enterprise
Server business. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results for this business have been reflected in the EAS group from the date of acquisition. The impact of this
acquisition on the operating results and financial position of Geac is included in the Management Discussion and Analysis section of the 2003 Annual Report of the Corporation.

In
addition, effective August 5, 2002, we acquired the iSeries unit of EBC Informatique, a French hardware and software solutions provider. The acquired assets included customer
contracts, intellectual property rights, trademarks, and property, plant and equipment. The transaction was valued at Euros

2.45 million
(approximately $2.4 million (Cdn.$3.76 million)). EBC Informatique's iSeries unit was integrated with Geac's Anael Solutions division in France. This acquisition has
also been accounted for as a purchase and results for this business are also reflected in the EAS group from the date of acquisition.

Dispositions

There were no dispositions made in FY 2003.

Fiscal Year 2004

Our FY 2004 was focused on both growing our business through the execution of our "build, buy, and partner" strategy and consolidating our operations in our
continuing effort to produce top line and bottom line growth. In FY 2004 we launched several new products to enhance our existing businesses, including our Library Solutions, Local Government and
System21 units; we acquired Comshare, Incorporated ("Comshare") to serve as the cornerstone of our GPM product suite, and we partnered with technology companies to market our products and to develop
new tools to integrate various software platforms, thereby enhancing the desirability of our offerings.

In
addition, we produced efficiencies in many parts of our business. We looked critically at our real estate needs and were able to reduce our costs in this area, an effort that will
continue to be a focus in FY 2005. We also took the first of several steps to consolidate our numerous legal entities (acquired largely through legacy acquisitions).

Effective
May 1, 2003 we began reporting our results in U.S. dollars since U.S. dollar denominated operations represent an increasingly significant portion of our operations.

In
July 2003, we announced that Charles S. Jones was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and C. Kent Jespersen was appointed
non-executive Chairman of the Board.

In
September 2003, we announced that we had received a three-year, $50.0 million secured revolving term credit facility from Wells Fargo Foothill Inc.
The facility is designed to support acquisitions, letters of credit required in the ordinary course of business and other working capital requirements.

On
February 3, 2004, our common shares were registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and began trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the ticker symbol
"GEAC". Our common shares also continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "GAC".

In
accordance with the revised recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA"), in the fourth quarter of FY 2004, the Corporation elected to adopt CICA
Handbook Section 3870, "Stock-Based Compensation and other Stock-Based Payments" ("Section 3870"). Under Section 3870, the Corporation has prospectively applied the fair value
method of accounting for stock option awards granted and shares issued under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") on or after May 1, 2003 and, accordingly, has recorded compensation
expense in 2004. Prior to May 1, 2003, the Corporation accounted for its employee stock options and shares issued under its ESPP using the settlement method and no compensation expense was
recognized.

Acquisitions

Geac completed its acquisition of Comshare, a Michigan-based leading provider of business performance management software, effective as of August 6, 2003
for a purchase price, excluding acquisition costs, of $53.8 million. Since Comshare had $16.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at the date of acquisition, our net cash outflow
resulting from the completion of the acquisition was $37.2 million. The acquisition was accomplished by a cash tender offer at $4.60 per share for all of Comshare's outstanding common stock.

Dispositions

There were no significant dispositions made in FY 2004.

Subsequent Events

There have been no material events subsequent to the end of our FY 2004.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

We are a global provider of software solutions for Business Performance Management, providing customers worldwide with financial and operational technology
solutions to improve their business performance in real time. We provide customers with application software and a broad range of professional services. We offer products and services on a broad range
of industry standard hardware platforms. Our acquisition strategy has enabled us to add new products, and to expand into new markets and geographic areas.

Effective
February 1, 2000, the Corporation's approach to segmented reporting was modified concurrently with a change in strategic direction to focus on Enterprise Applications
Systems. The two reported segments are:



OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

In addition to the application software products listed below, we offer a broad range of professional services related to our software including application
hosting, consulting, implementation and integration services, and training worldwide.

Enterprise Application Systems

In FY 2004 Enterprise Applications Systems accounted for 78.9% of our total revenues compared to 74.7% in FY 2003. Our EAS group serves large, often global,
enterprises, as well as smaller, middle market companies.

Our
EAS products are designed to enable our customers to standardize the management of information throughout the enterprise. This facilitates more effective decision-making through
performance comparisons between different sites, offices, countries, product lines, brands, and profit centers. We believe our EAS products help businesses to reduce inventories and working capital,
to improve productivity and efficiency by providing accurate and flexible reporting, production planning and scheduling systems and to meet accounting and other regulatory requirements.

At
April 30, 2004, our EAS group had approximately 5,000 customers, including 48% of the Fortune 100 companies. We provide our EAS solutions to customers in a variety of
industries, including apparel, manufacturing and retailing, automotive parts manufacturing, banking and financial services, food and beverage processing and retailing, healthcare and local government
administration.

Depending
on the specific product, our EAS systems run on a number of hardware platforms, including mainframe, mid-range and PC-based computer and client/server
architectures, and use industry-standard databases such as IBM's DB2, Sybase, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

---



Our
EAS systems offer simple, consistent user interfaces, flexible reporting options and sophisticated analytical tools, including third party solutions provided by our alliance
partners. These reporting and analysis tools enable our customers to analyze information contained within their enterprise management systems as they require. We also design our systems to be easily
integrated with our customers' other business applications, as well as with new, best-of-breed applications as they emerge from Geac or other third-parties, enabling our
customers to extend the functionality of their Geac enterprise resource planning systems and to maximize the value of their existing information technology investments.

The
Web extensions incorporated in our EAS systems support our customers by facilitating communication and transactions with their customers, suppliers and other business partners.
Customers can use the e-commerce functionality offered in our EAS systems to reduce costs and attain more effective management control, while at the same time decentralizing business
processes. Many of our EAS systems are Web-enabled to permit anytime-anywhere browser-based access. As a result, users with Web access can access their applications via the Internet using
a standard
Web browser. This allows business processes to be made faster and more efficient. For example, our customers can use our Web-enabled applications to:



Our
principal EAS products include:



System21 is a fully integrated suite of financial, manufacturing, customer service and logistics and service management applications based on the
mid-range IBM e-server iSeries (formerly known as AS/400) platform. Our System21 products are used by companies worldwide, particularly in the food and beverage, apparel and
shoe manufacturing, distribution, retail, automotive parts manufacturing and electronics industries.

Our
experience working with users of our System21 applications in these industries has enabled us to tailor our products to the specific needs of customers and, in many cases, to develop
industry-specific versions of our System21 product. For example:



Our E Series and M Series products, formerly known as our Expert and Millennium products, are integrated suites of financial, human resources and procurement
applications designed to run on mainframe computers, including the IBM S/390 and e-server zSeries. Large and mid-sized enterprises in

7

more
than 35 countries, primarily in North America and Europe, use our E Series and M Series products, which are available in English, French and Spanish language versions. The industries that use our
E Series and M Series products most widely include financial services, manufacturing, healthcare and education. Seven of the ten largest companies in the Fortune 500 use our E Series or M Series
products.



GPM is an integrated product suite that enables companies to bolster their effectiveness by tightening the linkage between business strategy formulation and
operational execution. GPM can be integrated with many general ledger, ERP, CRM, and other applications provided by us and other software vendors. As part of our growth strategy we have begun to
integrate GPM solutions into some of our existing ERP product offerings in both the EAS and ISA segments. Our first integration occurred in the third quarter of FY 2004 with the Enterprise Server
software. In FY 2005 we plan to integrate GPM into our System21, Anael, SmartStream, Libraries, Local Government, and Commercial Systems product suites.

We
have expanded our delivery model by broadening the availability of our application service provider ("ASP") offerings across certain products within our GPM suite. We currently
provide hosting solutions in America, Europe and Australia across a range of product lines for some applications and are assessing the expansion of hosted offerings across additional product lines.
Our hosted solutions represent one of several application delivery and deployment options that we offer customers as part of
our commitment to provide customers with effective solutions that are flexible, easier to implement, and competitively priced.



SmartStream is a suite of financial, procurement and human resource solutions that can be deployed on Windows NT or Unix operating systems and Microsoft SQL and
Sybase SQL databases in a two-tiered client-server architecture. Hundreds of companies use SmartStream, ranging from large global enterprises to mid-sized and smaller
businesses, primarily in North America and Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the Asia Pacific region and in South America. The industries in which SmartStream is most widely deployed include banking,
insurance and other financial services, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, government and education.



Anael solutions is a fully integrated suite of financial, accounting, human resources, construction, temporary staffing, e-commerce and customer
relationship management applications, consisting of eleven products and services based on the IBM iSeries platform, as well as Windows NT and Windows 2000. As at April 30, 2004, over
2,000 customers, primarily in France and other French-speaking countries, use Anael solutions.

Industry Specific Applications

In FY 2004 Industry Specific Applications accounted for 21.1% of our total revenues, compared to 25.3% in FY 2003.

Our
ISA group provides software products and related support, maintenance, development and consulting services to meet the specific management and data processing needs of organizations
in selected vertical niche markets, including the real estate, restaurant, construction, property management, public safety, local government and library markets.



In June 2003, we formed a new division within our ISA group called Geac Commercial Systems which combined the Architecture, Electrical and Construction
Applications ("AEC") and Property Management Systems from the ISA group with Geac TotalHR from the EAS group.

Architecture,
Electrical and Construction Applications

Our
AEC group provides integrated software suites, including project management, job-costing, bidding and estimating, and financial and accounting solutions to engineers,
architects and general and specialty trade contractors in the residential and commercial construction businesses. The AEC group is one of the largest suppliers of construction application software
solutions in North America.

Property
Management Systems

Our
Property Management Systems group provides software applications designed to improve productivity in the day-to-day management of residential and commercial
buildings. The group's products, which primarily service the multi-unit residential market, help to monitor traffic and conduct marketing, leasing and rent collection operations.
Accounting and financial applications and on-site management tools complete the product offering. New Web-based applications provide easy-to-use and
cost effective data collection. Clients include real estate investment trusts, pension funds, insurance companies, property management companies and other real estate investors.

Human
Resource Applications

Geac
TotalHR provides applications for human resource and payroll management. TotalHR software facilitates the processing of employee information and improves the reliability and
usability of that information. TotalHR is a client/server-based application that allows customers to manage and evaluate human resources and payroll needs. It has administration and configuration
features that address diverse user-group and departmental security and accessibility requirements.



Our Interealty business provides Web-based information systems, services and products to multiple listing services primarily in North America.
Interealty provides real estate professionals with online multiple listing systems, desktop productivity software, agent web-site development and hosting, and customer relationship
management systems. Interealty's new MLXchange product has advanced, Web-enabled features that provides real estate agents with real-time information relating to properties and
prospects.



Our Library Solutions group provides automation solutions for public, academic and specialty libraries. The group's products are able to manage records in
different formats and character sets, as well as to provide interconnectivity with other information services. For example, our Vubis Smart library application, developed in conjunction with Brussels
Vrije Universiteit and Eindhoven Technische

9

---



Universiteit,
enables libraries to implement a Web-based service to provide users with greater flexibility and the ability to search multiple databases concurrently within the library's
management system and from external sources.



Our Local Government group provides a Land Information System called Pathway PPR which addresses the "People, Property and Regulatory" requirements of Local
Governments in Australia and New Zealand. The product is installed in over 70 councils. The product includes a Web-enabled customer self service module, ePathway, which provides 24 hour 7 days
a week service in a number of areas such as customer request management (CRM), lodgement of
Building and Planning Applications, Certificate Searches and Payment of monies.



The Restaurant Systems group provides applications to quick-service and table-service restaurants and food service providers in North America and the United
Kingdom and is designed to improve customer service and to manage production and administrative operations. Applications include point-of-sale, back office reconciliation and
inventory control. The group primarily serves franchisors and franchisees of chain restaurant companies. The group's advanced store management and executive information software systems enable the
group's customers to meet high volume transaction management needs.



Our Public Safety Systems group provides computer-aided dispatch and records management systems for emergency services such as law enforcement agencies, fire
departments and ambulance service organizations. The group's systems assist critical services delivery organizations to improve call response times and to disseminate important information to response
personnel.

Distribution of Products

Complementing our own international distribution organization, we have a network of value added resellers ("VARs") and distributors delivering our solutions to
other geographical markets, including in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. We select these VARs and distributors for their expertise in meeting the needs of local customers
in specific vertical markets.

Competitive Conditions



Our principal competitors for new EAS license sales, as well as for the replacement of Geac's installed systems in the EAS market, are Microsoft, Oracle Corp.,
Hyperion, Cognos, Outlooksoft, Cartesis, Lawson Software, PeopleSoft, Inc., SAP AG, SSA and Intentia. These large, well capitalized firms have, in many cases, significantly more resources at
their disposal than us, and therefore can invest more in research and development and sales and marketing, can provide a broader range of professional services to meet customer needs and can sustain
price reductions for longer periods than we are able to do. Because competitors can easily penetrate the software market, large, multinational enterprise resource planning vendors have begun targeting
mid-sized businesses as their traditional market of large, multinational businesses becomes increasingly mature. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, or in the
future may establish, co-operative relationships among themselves or with third parties. We expect that the software industry will continue to consolidate. It is possible that new
competitors or alliances among competitors will emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.

10

---



In
the market for maintenance and support of EAS products, Geac competes with third party service providers who support other software vendors' products. Geac also faces internal
competition from the in-house Information Technology departments of Geac's customers, particularly in industries that are under intense pressure to contain costs, such as the automotive
parts manufacturing industry. These customers may choose not to purchase Geac's maintenance services but rather to support Geac's EAS products themselves.



Competition in the markets served by the ISA group is generally fragmented, and each of Geac's industry-specific product groups faces competition from numerous
sources, ranging from large, publicly traded companies that market a broad range of software products to small, privately held software vendors whose businesses are focused on serving a particular
vertical market. As the market for mid-range enterprise application systems becomes increasingly saturated, providers of general purpose integrated enterprise application systems products
are re-packaging their products and targeting specific vertical markets. Our larger ISA competitors often have significantly greater resources than us, potentially enabling them to invest
more in research and development, and sales and marketing, and can sustain price reductions for longer periods than us.

Geac
also expects increased competition in its ISA segment to come from providers of lower-priced shrink-wrapped software, many of which are large, well-capitalized software
companies. Several of these providers are increasingly tailoring their offerings to specific vertical markets, such as the construction industry, as part of an effort to compete with vendors of more
expensive integrated applications designed specifically for these industries.

We historically have maintained and developed products through a consultative process with existing and potential customers which includes an analysis of such
customers' return on investment. We expect that continued dialogue will result in incremental enhancements to existing products and the development of new products. The Corporation intends to support
product development through a combination of internal development, strategic partnerships with other software providers, offshore outsourcing arrangements with third-parties and acquisitions of
suitable businesses and product lines.

Consistent
with the growth of our business through acquisitions, the Corporation's product development strategy historically has been decentralized, with separate product development
centres devoted to each product, in some cases in more than one geographical region. We intend increasingly to organize our product development efforts around integrating product lines rather than
operating multiple independent regional development centres. At April 30, 2004, we had 495 product development personnel and approximately 15 development centers located in the metropolitan
areas of Ann Arbor, Atlanta, Nashua, Emeryville, Southborough, Markham, Vancouver, Paris, Studley, Tampa, Houston, Brussels, Vejle, Villingen, Adelaide and Sydney.

Product
development expenses are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for deferral and amortization. For the years
ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, product development costs were $58.8 million and $51.9 million, respectively.

Intellectual Property

We have relied, and expect to continue to rely, on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, and contractual
provisions to establish, to maintain and to protect our proprietary rights. Despite the Corporation's efforts to protect its proprietary rights in its intellectual property and that of other companies
it may acquire, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its products or to obtain information it regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized

use
of our technology, if required, may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Our means of protecting our technology may be inadequate.

Third
parties may apply for patent protection for processes that are the same as or similar to our processes or for products that use the same or similar processes as our products.
Despite Geac's efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its products or services or to obtain and to use information that Geac regards as
proprietary. Third parties may also independently develop similar or superior technology without violating our proprietary rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect
proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of Canada and the United States.

We
believe that trademark protection is an important factor in establishing product recognition. Geac's inability to protect its trademarks from infringement could result in injury to
any goodwill, which may be developed in its trademarks. Moreover, we may be unable to use one or more of our trademarks because of successful third-party claims.

Human Resources

As of April 30, 2004, the Corporation employed approximately 2,300 people world-wide16% were in sales and marketing, 27% in
services, 23% in support, 22% in research and development and 12% in corporate services. None of Geac's employees is represented by a labour union (other than by statutory unions or workers'
committees required by law in some European countries). Geac has not experienced any work stoppages and considers its relations with employees to be good. We operate in a rapidly evolving, advanced
information technology market in which highly skilled professionals are a scarce resource. Attracting and retaining a highly skilled work force is an increasing challenge for all high technology
companies, including Geac.

Foreign Operations

We are subject to risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, increases in duty rates, difficulties in obtaining
export licenses, difficulties in the enforcement of intellectual property rights, labour law issues and political uncertainties. During FY 2004, Geac derived approximately 2.9% of its total revenue
from sales to customers inside Canada, and approximately 47.9% of its total revenue from sales to customers in the U.S. Our most significant international operations are in the United States, the
United Kingdom and France, which are the only countries in which our revenues constituted more than ten percent of our total world-wide revenues during FY 2004.

We
have historically reported our results in Canadian dollars. To the extent that we made sales denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars, gains and losses on the conversion
of such sales to Canadian dollars contributed to fluctuations in our business and operating results as reported in Canadian dollars. Beginning with the first quarter of FY 2004, we began reporting our
results in U.S. dollars. To the extent that we make sales denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, gains and losses on the conversion of such sales to U.S. dollars may, in the future,
contribute to fluctuations in our business and operating results as reported in U.S. dollars.

Other
risks we face in conducting business internationally include the following: longer payment cycles, difficulties in managing international operations, including constraints
associated with local laws regarding employment, problems in collecting accounts receivable, complex international tax compliance requirements, and the adverse effects of tariffs, duties, price
controls or other restrictions that impair trade.
