The press release furnished as an exhibit to this report and conference call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Those forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as disclosed by the Company from time to time in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these risks, the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by the  forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise forward looking statements after the date of this report to conform them to actual results.
