Employees
As of March 31, 2005, we employed approximately 6,100 people, of whom over 3,400 were outside the United
States. We believe that our ability to attract and retain qualiÑed employees is a critical factor in the successful
development of our products and that our future success will depend, in large measure, on our ability to
continue to attract and retain qualiÑed employees. To date, we have been successful in recruiting and retaining
suÇcient numbers of qualiÑed personnel to conduct our business successfully. We believe that our relation-
ships with our employees are strong. Less than four percent of our employees, each of whom is employed by
one of our Swedish subsidiaries, are represented by a union, guild or other collective bargaining organization.
