SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND MARKET DATA
This annual report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-
looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of
operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by
the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely” and
other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future
operating or financial performance or other events.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating
budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions
are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it is impossible for
us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed in Item 1ARisk Factors,
Item 7Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and
elsewhere in this annual report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf,
are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, as well as other cautionary statements.
You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this annual report in the context of these risks and
uncertainties.
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 annual 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.
