Safe Harbor Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Certain statements set forth in or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, without limitation, the Companys outlook for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 (Fiscal 2004), other statements in this report other than historical facts relating to the financial conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. In addition, words such as believes, anticipates, expects, intends, estimates, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Such statements are based on managements currently available operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon detailed assumptions about many important factors such as market demand, market conditions and competitive activities. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, readers are cautioned that there are inherent difficulties in predicting the impact of certain factors, especially those affecting the acceptance of the Companys newly developed schools and businesses and performance of recently acquired businesses, which could cause actual results to differ materially from predicted results. Readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements reflect managements analysis only as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update these statements. Actual future results, events and trends may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements depending on a variety of factors set forth throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
