CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.
Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guarantees of future performance; actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Many factors will be important in determining the Company’s actual future results. Among the general factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimated results are those listed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
No assurances can be given that the results contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements as a result of events or developments subsequent to the date of this report. The reader is advised, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in filings made with the SEC.
