Forward-
looking statements are those involving future events and future results that are based on current expectations,
estimates, forecasts, and projects as well as the current beliefs and assumptions of our management.  Words
such as “outlook”, “believes”, expects”, “appears”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “intend”, “target”, “projects”, “estimates”,
“plans”, “forecast”, “is likely to”, “anticipates”, or the negative thereof or comparable terminology, are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements.  Any statement that is not a historical fact, including estimates,
projections, future trends and the outcome of events that have not yet occurred, is a forward-looking statement. 
Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict.  Therefore actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited
to,
those
discussed
under
the
section
entitled
“Risk
Factors”
in
our
reports
filed
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission.  Many of such factors relate to events and circumstances that are beyond our control.  You should
not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
they
are
made.
The
Company
undertakes
no
obligation
