FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements
of historical fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to analyses and other information, which are
based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements also relate to our future prospects,
developments and business strategies. We claim the protection of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking
statements in this report.
These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions. However,
these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected
in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve those plans, intentions or
expectations. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those
that we expected.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under
the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or
persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors”
included elsewhere in this report as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public
communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we
cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in
the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-
looking statements included in this report are made only as of
the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
