Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains, and answers given to questions that may be asked today may constitute, forward-looking
statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control. All
statements regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues or losses, projected costs,
prospects, plans and objectives, other than statements of historical fact included in the presentation, are forward-
looking statements. When used in this presentation or in answers given to questions asked today, the words “may,”
“will,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements
contain these identifying words. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. While we believe
that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement that we make, we caution you that these
statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and projections of future events or
conditions, about which we cannot be certain. For a more complete discussion regarding these and other factors which
could affect the Company's financial performance, refer to the Company's various filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and subsequently filed
Forms 10-Q, in particular information under the headings "Special Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements"
and “Risk Factors.” These cautionary statements qualify all of the forward-looking statements. In addition, market and
industry statistics contained in this presentation are based on information available to us that we believe is accurate.
This information is generally based on publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or
economic analysis.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Except as required by law, we assume
no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly or to update the factors that could cause actual
