Important Notice:
This statement contains certain forward-looking statements concerning future
events. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts
and may be identified by words such as "anticipate", "believe", "continue",
"estimate", "expect", "intends", "may", "should", "will" and similar
expressions. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon
various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions.
Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made,
these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors which are difficult or
impossible to predict and are beyond its control. Actual events may differ
significantly from any anticipated development due to a number of factors,
including without limitation, changes in investment levels and need for the
Company's services, changes in the general economic, political and market
conditions in the markets in which the Company operates, the Company's ability
to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, changes in the Company's
ability to engage in commercially acceptable acquisitions and strategic
investments, and changes in laws and regulation and the potential impact of
legal proceedings and actions. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and
other important factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that we
will determine not to, or be unable to, issue any equity securities, and could
cause actual events to differ materially from the expectations expressed or
implied in this release by such forward-looking statements.
