PART I.

Item 1.  Business.¹

COMPANY PROFILE

IMC Global Inc. (Company or IMC), a publicly traded Delaware corporation incorporated in 1987, is one of the world's leading producers and distributors of crop nutrients to the domestic and international agricultural communities and one of the foremost manufacturers and distributors of animal feed ingredients to the worldwide industry. The Company mines, processes and distributes potash in the United States and Canada and is the majority joint venture partner in IMC Phosphates Company (IMC Phosphates), a leading producer, marketer and distributor of phosphate crop nutrients and animal feed ingredients. The Company's current operational structure consists of two continuing business units corresponding to its major product lines as follows: IMC PhosFeed (PhosFeed), which represents the phosphates and feed ingredients businesses, and IMC Potash (Potash). As a result of the sale of IMC Salt (Salt), a solar evaporation facility located in Ogden, Utah (Ogden) and Penrice Soda Products Pty. Ltd. (Penrice), an Australian unit of IMC Chemicals, during 2001, and the planned divestiture of the remaining portions of IMC Chemicals (Chemicals), the financial information for these businesses is reflected as discontinued operations. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information with respect to the status of these divestitures, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company considers itself one of the most efficient North American producers of concentrated phosphates, potash and animal feed ingredients. IMC's business strategy focuses on maintaining and enhancing its leading positions through continuous process improvements, an ongoing focus on customer service, a leveraging of its efficient distribution and transportation networks, as well as growth of its core businesses globally.

The three major nutrients required for plant growth are nitrogen, phosphorus, mined as phosphate rock, and potassium, mined as potash. Nitrogen is an essential element for most organic compounds in plants. Phosphorus plays a key role in the photosynthesis process. Potassium is an important regulator of plants' physiological functions. These elements occur naturally in the soil but need to be replaced as crops remove them from the soil. Currently, no viable substitutes exist to replace the role of phosphate, potash and nitrogen in the development and maintenance of high-yield crops.

 ______________________________________________
¹All statements, other than statements of historical fact contained within this Form 10-K constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: general business and economic conditions and governmental policies affecting the agricultural industry in localities where the Company or its customers operate; weather conditions; the impact of competitive products; pressure on prices realized by the Company for its products; constraints on supplies of raw materials used in manufacturing certain of the Company's products; capacity constraints limiting the production of certain products; difficulties or delays in the development, production, testing and marketing of products; difficulties or delays in receiving required governmental and regulatory approvals; market acceptance issues, including the failure of products to generate anticipated sales levels; the effects of and change in trade, monetary, environmental and fiscal policies, laws and regulations; foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; the costs and effects of legal proceedings, including environmental and administrative proceedings involving the Company; success in implementing the Company's various initiatives; the uncertain effects upon the global and domestic economies and financial markets of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. on September 11, 2001 and their aftermaths; and other risk factors reported from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports.

The crop nutrients industry is a global market, in which supply and demand are dictated by worldwide factors. Demand is driven largely by economic and political conditions, demographics and limits on arable land. Population growth increases demand for grain, as do increases in disposable income and associated improvements in diet. Improved diets include greater consumption of meat and poultry, which together account for approximately 70 percent of the annual consumption of grain. Combined with limits on arable land, an increasing demand for grain drives demand for higher crop yields through greater application of crop nutrients. Supply of crop nutrients is generally driven by higher global commodity prices, weather conditions and local government policies.

Given the commodity nature of the crop nutrients business, industry players compete largely on the basis of low cost and, to a lesser extent, differentiated customer service. Low cost is principally a function of the quality of the ore; the state of a company's mining and processing technology; the ability to strategically source raw material inputs and the breadth and cost of transportation infrastructure.

IMC and Phosphate Resource Partners Limited Partnership (PLP), have a 56.5 percent and 43.5 percent, respectively, direct economic interest in IMC Phosphates over the term of the joint venture. IMC owns 51.6 percent of the outstanding PLP limited partnership units. As a result, the Company's total interest in IMC Phosphates is approximately 78.9 percent.

For additional information on the Company's business structure, see Notes 1 and 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

BUSINESS UNIT INFORMATION

The amounts and relative proportions of net sales and operating earnings contributed by the business units of the Company have varied from year to year and may continue to do so in the future as a result of changing business, economic, competitive and weather conditions as well as technological developments.

The following business unit discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

PhosFeed

Net sales for PhosFeed were $1,245.9 million, $1,320.5 million and $1,591.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. PhosFeed is a leading United States miner of phosphate rock, one of the primary raw materials used in the production of concentrated phosphates, with 18 million tons of annual capacity. PhosFeed is also a leading United States producer of concentrated phosphates with an annual capacity of approximately four million tons of phosphoric acid (P₂O₅)². PhosFeed's concentrated phosphate products are marketed worldwide to crop nutrient manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Additionally, PhosFeed is one of the world's three largest producers and marketers of phosphate and potash-based animal feed ingredients with a total annual capacity approaching one million tons.

______________________________________________
² P₂O₅ is an industry term indicating a product's phosphate content measured chemically in units of phosphorous pentoxide.

PhosFeed's facilities, which produce concentrated phosphates and animal feed phosphates, are located in central Florida and Louisiana. Its annual capacity represents approximately 30 percent of total United States concentrated phosphate production capacity and approximately nine percent of world capacity. The Florida concentrated phosphate facilities consist of two plants: New Wales and South Pierce. The New Wales complex is the largest concentrated phosphate plant in the world with an estimated annual capacity of two million tons of phosphoric acid (P₂O₅ equivalent). New Wales primarily produces three forms of concentrated phosphates and four forms of animal feed phosphates. Diammonium phosphate (DAP), monoammonium phosphate and merchant grade phosphoric acid are the fertilizer derivatives, while Biofos^®, Dynafos^®, Monofos^® and Multifos^® are the animal feed derivatives. The South Pierce plant produces phosphoric acid and granular triple superphosphate. Additionally, PhosFeed sources potassium raw materials from the Company's respective production facilities and markets Dyna-K^®and Dynamate^® as potassium-based feed ingredients.

The Louisiana concentrated phosphate facilities consist of three plants: Uncle Sam, Faustina and Taft. The Uncle Sam plant produces phosphoric acid, which is then shipped to the Faustina and Taft plants where it is used to produce DAP and granular monoammonium phosphate (GMAP). The Faustina plant manufactures phosphoric acid, DAP, GMAP and ammonia. The Taft facility manufactures DAP and GMAP. Concentrated phosphate operations are managed to balance PhosFeed's output with customer needs. In response to then-current reduced market demand, PhosFeed suspended production at its Taft facility in July 1999 and suspended phosphoric acid production at its Faustina facility in November 1999. From January 2001 until August 2001, PhosFeed temporarily shut down its Uncle Sam phosphoric acid production and its Faustina DAP and GMAP production. The Taft facility and phosphoric acid production facilities at Faustina remain temporarily idled.

Summarized below are descriptions of the principal raw materials used in the production of concentrated phosphates: phosphate rock, sulphur and ammonia.

Phosphate Rock

All of PhosFeed's phosphate mines and related mining operations are located in central Florida. PhosFeed extracts phosphate ore through surface mining after removal of a ten to fifty foot layer of sandy overburden and then processes the ore at its beneficiation plants where the ore goes through washing, screening, sizing and flotation processes designed to separate the phosphate rock from sands, clays and other foreign materials. PhosFeed currently maintains four operational mines.

PhosFeed's rock production volume was approximately 14 million tons, 17 million tons and 16 million tons for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In order to manage its inventories, PhosFeed temporarily idled its mining operations in 2001 during the months of July and December. Production in 2002 is expected to be higher than the average annual production of the prior two years. Although PhosFeed sells phosphate rock to other crop nutrient and animal feed ingredient manufacturers, it primarily uses phosphate rock internally in the production of concentrated phosphates. Tons used internally totaled approximately 11 million, 12 million and 13 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing 82 percent, 69 percent and 82 percent, respectively, of total tons produced. Rock shipments to customers totaled approximately five million tons for each of the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

PhosFeed estimates its proven reserves to be 465 million tons of phosphate rock as of December 31, 2001. PhosFeed owns approximately 62 percent of these reserves and controls the remainder through long-term lease, royalty or purchase option agreements. Reserve grades range from 58 percent to 78 percent bone phosphate of lime (BPL), with an average grade of 65 percent BPL. The phosphate rock mined by PhosFeed in the last three years averaged 65 percent BPL, which management believes is typical for phosphate rock mined in Florida during this period. PhosFeed estimates its reserves based upon exploration core drilling as well as technical and economic analyses to determine that reserves so classified can be economically mined at market prices estimated to prevail during the next five years.

______________________________________________
³ BPL is the standard industry term used to grade the quality of phosphate rock.

PhosFeed also owns or controls phosphate rock resources in the southern extension of the central Florida phosphate district (Resources). Resources are mineralized deposits that may become economically recoverable. However, additional geostatistical analyses, including further exploration, permitting and mining feasibility studies, are required before such deposits may be classified as reserves. Based upon its preliminary analyses of these Resources, PhosFeed believes that these mineralized deposits differ in physical and chemical characteristics from those historically mined by PhosFeed but are similar to certain of the reserves being mined in current operations. These Resources contain estimated recoverable phosphate rock of approximately 123 million tons. Some of these Resources are located in what may be classified as preservational wetland areas under standards set forth in current county, state and federal environmental protection laws and regulations. Consequently, the Company's ability to mine these Resources may be restricted.

Sulphur

A significant portion of PhosFeed's sulphur requirements is provided by the sulphur subsidiary of McMoRan Exploration Company under a supply agreement with the Company. PhosFeed's remaining sulphur requirements are provided by market contracts. Additionally, the Company, CF Industries, Inc. and Cargill Fertilizer, Inc. have formed a joint venture to construct a facility for remelting sulphur for use at their respective Florida phosphate fertilizer operations. The remelt facility is expected to be operational in 2004.

Ammonia

PhosFeed's ammonia needs are supplied by its Faustina ammonia production facility, when operating, and by world suppliers, primarily under annual and multi-year contracts. Production from the Faustina plant, which has an estimated annual capacity of 560,000 tons of anhydrous ammonia, is used internally to produce certain concentrated phosphates.

Sales and Marketing

Domestically, PhosFeed sells its concentrated phosphates to crop nutrient manufacturers, distributors and retailers. The Company also uses concentrated phosphates internally for the production of animal feed ingredients. Virtually all of PhosFeed's export sales of phosphate crop nutrients are marketed through the Phosphate Chemicals Export Association (PhosChem), a Webb-Pomerene Act organization, which the Company administers on behalf of itself and two other member companies. PhosChem believes that its sales represent approximately 50 percent of total United States exports of concentrated phosphates. The countries that account for the largest amount of PhosChem's sales of concentrated phosphates include China, Australia, India, Japan and Brazil. During 2001, PhosFeed's concentrated phosphates exports to Asia were 30 percent of total shipments by volume, with China representing 16 percent of total shipments. PhosFeed, with a strong brand position in a $1.0 billion feed ingredients global market, also supplies phosphate and potassium-based feed ingredients for poultry and livestock to markets in North America, Latin America and Asia.

The table below shows PhosFeed's shipments of concentrated phosphates in thousands of dry product tons, primarily DAP:

	2001		2000		1999
	Tons	%	Tons	%	Tons	%
Domestic
Customers	2,689	45	2,784	45	2,552	38

Export	3,313	55	3,346	55	4,055	61
Total shipments	6,002	100	6,130	100	6,699	100

As of December 31, 2001, PhosFeed had contractual commitments for 2002 from non-affiliated customers for the shipment of approximately four million tons of concentrated phosphates and approximately five million tons of phosphate rock. PhosFeed also had contractual commitments from non-affiliated customers for the shipment of phosphate feed and feed grade potassium products amounting to approximately 500,000 tons in 2002. Captive sales ceased beginning in April 1999 as a result of the sale of the IMC AgriBusiness business unit (AgriBusiness). Since that time, sales to the purchaser of AgriBusiness have been reflected as sales to customers.

Competition

PhosFeed operates in a highly competitive global market. Among the competitors in the global phosphate crop nutrient market are domestic and foreign companies, as well as foreign government-supported producers. Phosphate crop nutrient producers compete primarily based on price and, to a lesser extent, product quality and innovation. Major integrated producers of feed phosphates and feed grade potassium are located in the United States and Europe. Many smaller producers are located in emerging markets around the world. Many of these smaller producers are not manufacturers of phosphoric acid and are required to purchase this raw material on the open market. Competition in this global market is also driven by price, quality and service.

Potash

Net sales for the Potash business unit were $811.2 million, $871.0 million and $830.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Potash mines, processes and distributes potash in the United States and Canada. The term "potash" applies generally to the common salts of potassium. Potash's products are marketed worldwide to crop nutrient manufacturers, distributors and retailers and are also used in the manufacture of mixed crop nutrients and, to a lesser extent, animal feed ingredients (see PhosFeed). Potash also sells potash to customers for industrial use. Potash operates four potash mines in Canada as well as two potash mines in the United States. In addition, Potash's products are used for icemelter and water softener regenerant. With a total capacity in excess of ten million tons of product per year, management believes that Potash is one of the leading private-enterprise potash producers in the world. In 2001, these operations accounted for approximately 15 percent of world capacity on a K₂O⁴ basis.

_____________________________________________

4 Since the amount of potassium in the common salts of potassium varies, the industry has established a common standard of measurement of defining a product's potassium content, or grade, in terms of equivalent percentages of potassium oxide (K₂O). A K₂O equivalent of 60 percent, 50 percent and 22 percent is the customary minimum standard for muriate of potash, sulphate of potash and double sulphate of potash magnesia products, respectively.

Canadian Operations

Potash's four mines in Canada produce muriate of potash exclusively and are located in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Two potash mines are interconnected at Esterhazy, one is located at Belle Plaine and one is located at Colonsay. The combined annual capacity of these four mines is approximately eight million tons. Esterhazy and Colonsay utilize shaft mining while Belle Plaine utilizes solution mining technology. Traditional potash shaft mining takes place underground at depths of over 3,000 feet where continuous mining machines cut out the ore face and load it on to conveyor belts. The ore is then crushed, moved to storage bins and then hoisted to refineries above ground. In contrast, Potash's solution mining process involves heated water, which is pumped through a "cluster" to dissolve the potash in the ore bed. A cluster consists of a series of boreholes drilled into the potash ore by a portable, all-weather, electric drilling rig. A separate distribution center at each cluster controls the brine flow. The solution containing dissolved potash and salt is pumped to a refinery where sodium chloride, a co-product of this process, is separated from the potash through the use of evaporation and crystallization techniques. Concurrently, solution is pumped into a 130 acre cooling pond where additional crystallization occurs and the resulting product is recovered via a floating dredge. Refined potash is dewatered, dried and sized. The Canadian operations produce 26 different potash products, including industrial grades, many through proprietary processes.

Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PCS) controls several potash-producing mineral rights properties located in the vicinity of Potash's Esterhazy mines. Under a long-term contract with PCS, the Company mines and refines these reserves for a fee plus a pro rata share of production costs. The specified quantities of potash to be produced for PCS may, at the option of PCS, amount to an annual maximum of approximately one million tons and a minimum of approximately five hundred thousandtons per year. The current contract extends through June 30, 2006 and is renewable at the option of PCS for four additional five-year periods.

Potash controls the rights to mine 322,283 acres of potash-bearing land in Saskatchewan. This land, of which 77,245 acres have already been mined or abandoned, contains over 4.6 billion tons of potash mineralization (calculated after estimated extraction losses) at an average grade of approximately 21 percent K₂O. The Company believes that this ore is sufficient to support current operations for more than a century and will yield more than 1.4 billion tons of finished product with a K₂O content of approximately 61 percent.

Potash's mineral rights in Saskatchewan consist of 123,806 acres owned in fee, 175,319 acres leased from the province of Saskatchewan and 23,158 acres leased from other parties. All leases are renewable by the Company for successive terms of 21 years. Royalties, established by regulation of the province of Saskatchewan, amounted to approximately $8 million in 2001 and $9 million in both 2000 and 1999.

The Belle Plaine and Colonsay facilities, including owned and leased mineral rights, respectively, are subject to the mortgage granted under the Company's $500.0 million senior secured credit facility. For further information, see Capital Resources and Liquidity in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Since December 1985, the Company has experienced an inflow of water into one of its two interconnected potash mines at Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. As a result, the Company has incurred expenditures, certain of which, due to their nature, have been capitalized while others have been charged to expense, to control the inflow. Since the initial discovery of the inflow, the Company has been able to meet all sales obligations from production at the mines. The Company has considered alternatives to the operational methods employed at Esterhazy. However, the procedures utilized to control the water inflow have proven successful to date, and the Company currently intends to continue conventional shaft mining. Despite the relative success of these measures, there can be no assurance that the amounts required for remedial efforts will not increase in future years or that the water inflow, risk to employees or remediation costs will not increase to a level which would cause the Company to change its mining process or abandon the mines. The current operating approach and related risks are reviewed on a routine basis by management and the board of directors.

Potash's underground mine operations are presently insured against business interruption and risk from catastrophic perils, including collapse, floods and other property damage with the exception of flood coverage at Esterhazy. Due to the ongoing water inflow problem at Esterhazy, underground operations at this facility are currently not insurable for water incursion problems. Like other potash producers' shaft mines, the Colonsay mine is also subject to the risks of inflow of water as a result of its shaft mining operations.

United States Operations

Potash has two United States potash facilities: the Carlsbad shaft mine located in Carlsbad, New Mexico and the Hersey solution mine located in Hersey, Michigan.

The Carlsbad mine has an annual production capacity of nearly two million tons of finished product. The reserves are of two types: (1) sylvinite, a mixture of potassium chloride and sodium chloride, the same as the ore mined in Saskatchewan, and (2) langbeinite, a double sulfate of potassium and magnesium.

Continuous underground mining methods are utilized for the ore extracted. In the mining sections, drum type mining machines are used to cut the sylvinite and langbeinite ores from the face. Mining heights are as low as four and one-half feet. Ore from the continuous sections is loaded onto conveyors, transported to storage areas, and then hoisted to the surface for further processing at the refinery.

Three types of potash are produced at the Carlsbad refinery: muriate of potash, which is the primary source of potassium for the crop nutrient industry; double sulfate of potash magnesia, marketed under the brand name K-Magâ , containing significant amounts of sulphur, potassium and magnesium, with low levels of chloride; and sulfate of potash, supplying a high concentration of potassium with low levels of chloride.

At the Carlsbad facility, Potash mines and refines potash from 56,196 acres of reserves that are controlled by long-term leases. These reserves contain an estimated total of 169 million tons of potash mineralization (calculated after estimated extraction losses) in three mining beds evaluated at thickness ranging from four and one-half feet to in excess of 11 feet. At average refinery rates, these ore reserves are estimated to be sufficient to yield 11.3 million tons of concentrate from sylvinite with an average grade of approximately 60 percent K₂O and 31.3 million tons of langbeinite concentrate with an average grade of approximately 22 percent K₂O. At projected rates of production, management estimates that Potash's reserves of sylvinite and langbeinite are sufficient to support operations for more than 19 years and 24 years, respectively.

Potash made mine modifications and constructed a new state-of-the-art, world class langbeinite refinery at Carlsbad at a cost of approximately $77 million, which began production during 1999. The production capacity at the Carlsbad facility was increased by 35 percent as a result of constructing the new K-Mag processing plant.

At Hersey, Michigan, Potash operates a solution mining facility with annual potash production capacity of approximately 160,000 tons, and annual salt capacity of approximately 275,000 tons. At Hersey, Potash's mineral rights consist of 1,093 acres owned in fee and 11,630 acres controlled under long-term leases. These lands contain an estimated 300 million tons of potash mineralization contained in two beds ranging in thickness from 14 to 30 feet. Management estimates that these reserves are sufficient to yield 62 million tons of concentrate from sylvinite with an average grade of 60 percent K₂O. At current rates of production, management estimates that these reserves are sufficient to support operations for more than 300 years. The Hersey facility, including owned and leased mineral rights, is subject to the mortgage granted under the Company's $500.0 million senior secured credit facility. For further information, see Capital Resources and Liquidity in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is in incorporated herein by reference.

Royalties for the United States operations amounted to $4.0 million in 2001 and 1999 and $5.0 million in 2000.

Natural Gas

Natural gas is a significant raw material used in the potash solution mining process. The purchase, transportation, and storage of natural gas amounts to approximately 15 percent of Potash production costs. The two solution mines account for approximately 66 percent of Potash's total natural gas requirements. The Potash business unit purchases a portion of its requirements through fixed price physical contracts and uses forward contracts to fix the price of an additional portion of future purchases. The remainder of its requirements is purchased either on the domestic spot market or under short-term contracts.

Sales and Marketing

Potash's North American potash sales are made through Potash's sales force. North American agricultural sales are primarily to independent accounts, co-operatives and large regional fertilizer buyers while non-agricultural sales are primarily to large industrial accounts and the animal feed industry. Additionally, potash is sold as an ingredient in icemelter and as a water softener regenerant.

Potash is sold throughout the world, with Potash's largest amount of sales outside of North America made to China, Japan, Malaysia, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America. Potash's exports from Canada, except to the United States, are made through Canpotex Limited (Canpotex), an export association of Saskatchewan potash producers. In general, Canpotex sales are allocated among the producer members based on production capacity. The Company currently supplies approximately 35 percent of Canpotex's requirements. Potash exports from Carlsbad are sold through the Company's sales force. In 2001, 84 percent of the potash produced by Potash was sold as crop nutrients, while 16 percent was sold for non-agricultural uses.

The table below shows Potash's shipments of potash in thousands of tons:

	2001		2000		1999
	Tons	%	Tons	%	Tons	%
Domestic
Customers	5,050	65	5,318	64	4,753	61
Captive, to other business units	217	3	203	2	415	5
	5,267	68	5,521	66	5,168	66
Export	2,466	32	2,864	34	2,676	34
Total shipments	7,733	100	8,385	100	7,844	100

As of December 31, 2001, Potash had contractual commitments for 2002 from non-affiliated customers for the shipment of potash amounting to approximately three million tons. Captive sales decreased in 1999 as a result of the sale of AgriBusiness in April 1999. However, since April 1999, sales to the purchaser of AgriBusiness have been reflected as sales to customers.

Competition

Potash is a commodity available from many sources and consequently, the market is highly competitive. In addition to the Potash business unit, there are four North American producers: two in the United States and two in Canada. Through its participation in Canpotex, the Potash business unit competes outside of North America with various independent potash producers and consortia as well as other export organizations, including state-owned organizations. Potash's principal methods of competition, with respect to the sale of potash include: pricing; offering consistent, high-quality products and superior service; as well as developing new industrial and consumer uses for potash.

FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND

The Company's results of operations historically have reflected the effects of several external factors, which are beyond the Company's control and have in the past produced significant downward and upward swings in operating results. Revenues are highly dependent upon conditions in the North American agriculture industry and can be affected by crop failure, changes in agricultural production practices, government policies and weather. Furthermore, the Company's crop nutrients business is seasonal to the extent North American farmers and agricultural enterprises purchase more crop nutrient products during the spring and fall.

The Company's foreign operations and investments, and any future international expansion by the Company, are subject to numerous risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and controls; expropriation and other economic, political and regulatory policies of local governments; and laws and policies affecting foreign trade and investment. Due to economic and political factors, customer needs can change dramatically from year to year.
