ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks including interest rates on financial instruments and
foreign exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk exists from our outstanding balances on our inventory and working
capital financing agreements, taxable revenue bonds, loan and security agreements and factoring
agreement for the financing of inventory, accounts receivable and certain other receivables and
certain equipment, which amounted to $57.9 million at September 30, 2008. A 100 basis point
movement in interest rates would result in approximately $0.2 million annualized increase or
decrease in interest expense based on the outstanding balance of these agreements at September 30,
2008.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Currently, our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Canadian Dollar
and the Euro. In the future, our foreign currency exchange risk may also include other currencies
applicable to certain of our international operations. We have and may continue, from time to
time, to employ derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign
currency rates. To hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in
foreign operations, we may enter into forward currency exchange contracts.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to

as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the

Accounting Officer. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial
and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and
Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to our internal controls or other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
