CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
From time to time we make statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies,
future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. These
statements are ―forward-looking statements‖ within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. You can generally
identify our forward-looking statements by the words ―anticipate,‖ ―believe,‖ ―continue,‖ ―could,‖ ―estimate,‖
―expect,‖ ―forecast,‖ ―goal,‖ ―intend,‖ ―may,‖ ―objective,‖ ―plan,‖ ―potential,‖ ―predict,‖ ―projection,‖ ―should,‖
―will‖ or other similar words.
We have based our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on
information available to our management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that assumptions,
beliefs, expectations, intentions and projections about future events may and often do vary materially from actual
results. Therefore, we cannot assure you that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed or implied
by our forward-looking statements.
Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-
looking statements are described under ―Risk Factors‖ in Item 1A of this report.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only
as of the date of the particular statement.
