  FOREWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
  
  Some of the information in this report on Form 8-K or the documents
  incorporated by reference in this report on form 8-K may contain
  forward-looking statements.  You can identify these statements by words
  or phrases such as "will likely result," "may," "are expected to,"
  "will continue to," "is anticipated," "estimate," "projected," "intends
  to" or other similar words.  These forward-looking statements regarding
  our business and prospects are based upon numerous assumptions about
  future conditions, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate.  Actual
  events and results may materially differ from anticipated results
  described in those statements.  Forward-looking statements involve
  risks and uncertainties described under "Risk Factors" as well as other
  portions of the Form 8-K, which could cause our actual results to
  differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
  anticipated.  When considering forward-looking statements, you should
  keep those risk factors in mind as well as the other cautionary
  statements in this report on Form 8-K.  You should not place undue
  reliance on any forward-looking statements.
