CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements that are included in this Report and the exhibits hereto, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, assumptions, uncertainties, and other factors. Statements made in the future tense, and statements using words such as “may,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “predict,” “aim’” “potential,” “continue,” “opportunity,” “intend,” “goal,” “estimate,” “expect,” “expectations,” “project,” “projections,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believe,” “think,” “confident” “scheduled” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, and which risks and uncertainties have been described in greater detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements, and therefore should be carefully considered. The Company cautions you not to place undo reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report or an earlier date as may be indicated. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as expressly required by law.
