Disclosures
About Forward Looking Statements
The
discussions included in this document and its exhibits may contain forward
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act
of 1995, including Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially. For the purposes of these
discussions, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed to be forward looking statements. Such statements are often characterized
by the use of qualifying words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” or other statements concerning opinions or
judgments of the Company and its management about future events. The
accuracy of such forward looking statements could be affected by such factors
as, including but not limited to, the financial success or changing conditions
or strategies of the Company’s customers or vendors, fluctuations in interest
rates, actions of government regulators, the availability of capital and
personnel or general economic conditions.
