Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend all
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the fact
that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and
by the use of forward-looking words such as "expect,"
"expectation," "believe," "anticipate," "may," "could," "intend,"
"belief," "plan," "estimate," "target," "predict," "project,"
"likely," "will," "continue," "should," "forecast," "outlook" or
similar terminology. These statements are based on current
estimates and assumptions made by us in light of our experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected
future developments, as well as other factors that we believe are
appropriate and reasonable under the circumstances, but there can
be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to
be correct. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks
and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our
actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated
by those statements. We cannot assure you that any of our
expectations, estimates or assumptions will be achieved. The
forward-looking statements included in this press release are only
made as of the date of this press release, and we disclaim any
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to
reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by
law. Numerous factors could cause our actual results or events to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements should
be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.
You should consult our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including the information set forth under
the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and
