8th Annual Membership Meeting March 20, 2014


 
 This presentation contains financial information for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 31, 2014 which have not been audited and have been derived from our unaudited books and records only. This means that the financial results for the period have not been independently reviewed by a certified public accountant and there is no assurance from a qualified, independent, third party that the assumptions and other information underlying the financial results is reasonable. Further, this presentation contains forward looking statements that can, in some cases, be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "future," "intend," "could," "estimate," "predict," "hope," "potential," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements are only our predictions and involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including those referenced in our fiscal 2013 Form 10-K, 10-Q and other filings with the SEC which are specifically incorporated by reference herein. Our actual results or actions could and likely will differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements.
