The forward-looking statements in this release involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Logitech’s actual results to differ materially from that anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: the demand of our customers and our consumers for our products and our ability to accurately forecast it; the effect of pricing, product, marketing and other initiatives by our competitors, and our reaction to them, on our sales, gross margins and profitability; if consumer reaction to and demand for the Google TV platform and our products for it are less positive than we expect, or if Google fails to support or continue the Google TV platform; the sales mix among our lower- and higher-margin products and our geographic sales mix; if our product introductions and marketing activities do not result in the sales and profitability growth we expect, or when we expect it; if we fail to take advantage of trends in the consumer electronics and personal computers industries, including the growth of mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets, or if significant consumer demand for peripherals to use with tablets and other mobile devices does not develop; if there is a deterioration of business and economic conditions or significant fluctuations in currency exchange rates; competition in the video conferencing and communications industry, including from companies with significantly greater resources, sales and marketing organizations, installed base and name recognition; as well as those additional factors set forth in Logitech's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, available at www.sec.gov.
