Cautionary Note About
Forward-Looking Statements
This
presentation
includes
"forward-looking
statements”
within
the
meaning
of
Section
27A
of
the
Securities
Act
of
1933,
as
amended,
and
Section
21E
of
the
Securities
Exchange
Act
of
1934,
as
amended,
which
involve
uncertainties
and
risks.
Forward-looking
statements
include
statements
concerning
our
plans,
objectives,
goals,
strategies,
future
events,
future
revenues,
future
results
and
performance,
expectations,
plans
or
intentions
relating
to
acquisitions
and
other
matters,
business
trends
and
other
information
that
is
not
historical,
including
statements
regarding
estimates
of
our
future
financial
results.
When
used
in
this
presentation,
words
such
as
“estimates,”
“expects,”
“anticipates,”
“projects,”
“plans,”
“intends,”
“believes,”
“forecasts”
and
variations
of
such
words
or
similar
expressions
are
intended
to
identify
forward-looking
statements.
All
forward-looking
statements,
including,
without
limitation,
estimates
of
our
future
financial
results,
are
based
upon
our
expectations
at
the
time
we
make
them
and
various
assumptions.
Our
expectations,
beliefs
and
projections
are
expressed
in
good
faith,
and
we
believe
there
is
a
reasonable
basis
for
them.
However,
there
can
be
no
assurance
that
management’s
expectations,
beliefs
and
estimates
will
be
achieved,
and
the
Company’s
actual
results
may
differ
from
our
expectations,
beliefs
and
estimates.
The
Company
has
experienced
fluctuating
revenues,
operating
income
and
cash
flow
in
prior
periods
and
expects
that
this
will
occur
from
time
to
time
in
the
future.
Other
factors
that
could
cause
such
differences
include
declines
in
demand
for,
or
changes
in,
the
mix
of
services
and
products
that
we
offer,
the
mix
of
the
geographic
locations
where
our
clients
are
located
or
where
services
are
performed,
adverse
financial,
real
estate
or
other
market
and
general
economic
conditions,
which
could
impact
each
of
our
segments
differently,
the
pace
and
timing
of
the
consummation
and
integration
of
past
and
future
acquisitions,
the
Company's
ability
to
realize
cost
savings
and
efficiencies,
competitive
and
general
economic
conditions,
retention
of
staff
and
clients
and
other
risks
described
under
the
heading
“Item
1A.
Risk
Factors”
in
the
Company’s
most
recent
Form
10-K
and
in
the
Company's
other

and
Exchange
Commission,
including
the
risks
set
forth
under
“Risks
Related
to
Our
Business
Segments”
and
“Risks
Related
to
Our
Operations”.
We
are
under
no
duty
to
update
any
of
the
forward-looking
statements
to
conform
such
statements
to
actual
