Statements concerning current conditions may also be forward-looking if they imply a continuation of current conditions. Examples of forward&#173;looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the additional steps that we intend to take to mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals finance or benefit armed groups.</p>

Its objective is to help companies respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral sourcing practices. The OECD Guidance also is intended to cultivate transparent mineral supply chains and sustainable corporate engagement in the mineral sector with a view to enabling countries to benefit from their natural mineral resources and preventing the extraction and trade of minerals from becoming a source of conflict, human rights abuses and insecurity. While not legally binding, the adoption of the OECD Guidance at the ministerial level by the OECD reflects the common position and political commitment of OECD members and non&#173;members adhering to the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises.</p>
