      forward-looking statements include statements relating to the Company's
      existing programs and development of new business opportunities, as well
      as any other statements which are not solely historical. The Company's
      plans and objectives are based on assumptions involving judgments with
      respect to future economic, regulatory, competitive and market conditions
      and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to
      predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the
      Company. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
      statements will prove to be accurate. The Company's documents filed with
      the SEC, including the Company's recent Registration Statement on Form
      S-3, identify important factors that may cause the actual results to
      differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.

      Company notes that statements in this release which look forward in time
      involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or
      achievements to materially differ from those indicated by the
      forward-looking statements. These

                                       3
forward-looking statements include statements relating to the Company's
      existing programs and development of new business opportunities, as well
      as any other statements which are not solely historical. The Company's
      plans and objectives are based on assumptions involving judgments with
      respect to future economic, regulatory, competitive and market conditions
      and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to
      predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the
      Company. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
      statements will prove to be accurate. The Company's documents filed with
      the SEC, including the Company's recent Registration Statement on Form
      S-3, identify important factors that may cause the actual results to
      differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.

      TVG was an S corporation for Federal income tax purposes.
