Forward-looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this presentation are
"forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbors
established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such
because of the context of the statement or because the statement
includes words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects,"
"estimates," or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that
describe Hanover's future plans, objectives or goals or future
revenues or other financial measures are also forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated as of the date the statements were made. These
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our inability
to renew our short-term leases of equipment with our customers so as
to fully recoup our cost of the equipment; a prolonged substantial
reduction in oil and natural gas prices, which could cause a decline
in the demand for our compression and oil and natural gas production
and processing equipment; reduced profit margins or the loss of market
share resulting from competition or the introduction of competing
technologies by other companies; changes in economic or political
conditions in the countries in which we do business, including civil
uprisings, riots, terrorism, the taking of property without fair
compensation and legislative changes; changes in currency exchange
rates; the inherent risks associated with our operations, such as
equipment defects, malfunctions and natural disasters; governmental
safety, health, environmental and other regulations, which could
require us to make significant expenditures; our inability to
implement certain business objectives, such as international expansion
(including our ability to timely and cost-effectively execute projects
in new international operating environments), integrating acquired
businesses, generating sufficient cash, accessing capital markets,
refinancing existing or incurring additional indebtedness to fund our
business, and executing our exit and sale strategy with respect to
assets classified on our balance sheet as assets held for sale; risks
associated with any significant failure or malfunction of our
enterprise resource planning system and our inability to comply with
covenants in our debt agreements and the decreased financial
flexibility associated with our substantial debt. A discussion of
these and other factors is included in the Company's periodic reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
