The Company makes a number of other estimates and judgments in the ordinary course of business related to product returns, doubtful accounts, warranty obligations, lease terminations and asset retirement obligations, post retirement benefits, and contingencies and litigation. Establishing reserves for these matters requires management’s estimate and judgment with regard to risk and ultimate liability or realization. As a result, these estimates are based on management’s current understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances and may also be developed in conjunction with outside advisors, as appropriate. Because of uncertainties related to the ultimate outcome of these issues or the possibilities of changes in the underlying facts and circumstances, additional charges related to these issues could be required in the future. 

## INFLATION 

The prices of raw materials, consisting primarily of steel, vinyl, aluminum, glass and ABS resin, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile. The Company experienced modest increases in its labor costs in 2003 and 2002 related to inflation.
