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 reasonably 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 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations –
Certain
Factors Affecting Future Earnings” and “ – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Other Matters –
Other Factors That Could Affect Cash
Requirements” in Item 7 of this report, which discussions are incorporated herein by reference.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-
looking statement speaks only as of the date of the
particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
