Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 contain
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements that express the Company's intentions, beliefs,
expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements related to the
Company's future activities, or future events or conditions. These statements
are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the
Company's business based, in part, on assumptions made by its management. These
statements are not guarantees of future performances and involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted
in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those
risks that may be included in documents that the Company files from time to
time with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on
which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 8-K,
except as required by law.
