 "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "plan", "project", or similar expressions are
 intended to identify "forward-looking statements". Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
 statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include issues related to the ability to:

 agreements; issues related to rapidly changing technology and evolving standards in the industries in which the Company and its
 subsidiaries operate; the Company’s ability to compete effectively and adjust to rapidly changing market dynamics; the unpredictable
 nature of consumer preferences; and other factors set forth in the Company's most recently filed annual report and/or registration

 undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences,
