These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Item 1A.
Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks
emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or
the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-
looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in
the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected
in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and
circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any
other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Form 10-K to conform these statements to actual results or to
changes in our expectations.
