At present, the Company's internal systems, the ability of the Company's suppliers to address the "Year 2000 Issue", and the impact of the "Year 2000 Issue" on the programs which operate the Company's products have been identified as the primary areas of risk to the Company from the "Year 2000 Issue". << Now I am worried....
