Forward
Looking Statement
Certain
matters discussed in this presentation are
forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the
“safe harbor” from liability established by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-
looking statements can generally be identified as such
because the context of the statement will include words
such as the Company “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects”
or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that
describe the Company’s future plans, objectives,
estimates or goals are also forward-looking statements
that are subject to the risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the statements.
