Safe Harbor (1) The Reform Act defines the term "forward-looking statements" to include: statements of management plans and objectives, statements regarding the future economic performance, and projections of revenues and other financial data, among others. The Reform Act precludes liability for oral or written forward-looking statements if the statement is identified as such and accompanied by "meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those made in the forward-looking statements." In the course of our presentation, we may discuss matters that are deemed to be forward-looking statements, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”)(1). Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from projected results. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements (including any projections) to reflect any changes or events occurring after the date hereof. Additional information about risks of achieving results suggested by any forward-looking statements may be found in Sterling’s 10-K, 10-Q and other SEC filings, included under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” 2
