Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, contains forward-looking
statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically are
identified by use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,”

statements are expressed differently. Forward-looking statements represent
our
management’s judgment regarding future events. Although the Company believes
that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove
to be correct. All statements other than statements of historical fact included
in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements. The Company
cannot guarantee the accuracy of the forward-looking statements, and you should
be aware that the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors,
including the statements under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the
Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
