The matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this Summary
Annual Report may contain “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other
than statements of historical facts included in this report are
forward-looking statements made in good faith by the Company
and are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability
established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. When used in this report or in any of the Company’s other
documents or oral presentations, the words “anticipate,” “expect,”
“estimate,” “plans,” “believes,” “objective,” “forecast,” “goal” or similar
words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the statements relating to the Company’s
earnings per share projections, operations, markets, services, rates,
recovery of costs, availability of gas supply and other factors. A
discussion of these risks and uncertainties may be found in the
Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2001.
Although the Company believes these forward-looking statements
to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will approxi-
mate actual experience or that the expectations derived from them
will be realized. The Company undertakes no obligation to update
or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
