Wincor Nixdorf expects world economic growth to continue in 2007, in particular in Asia and Eastern Europe. In Germany, the economic environment is likely to improve only slowly, and growth potential for the company will come along with international market expansion. Potential risks to the world economy are likely to include a further rise in raw material prices and continuing dollar weakness. Both could have a negative effect on global economic activity and subsequently on our business. In addition, we perceive risk to our customers and ourselves from potential natural disasters and terrorist attacks.
