FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. By their nature, forward-looking statements and forecasts involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the near future. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future. We caution readers that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the terms and conditions of the agreement described herein. In some cases, you may identify forward-looking statements by words such as "may," "should," "plan," "intend," "potential," "continue," "believe," "expect," "predict," "anticipate" and "estimate," the negative of these words or other comparable words. These statements are only predictions. One should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are qualified by their terms and/or important factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from the statements made. The forward-looking statements are based on the Company's beliefs, assumptions and expectations about the Company's future performance and the future performance of the entity being acquired, taking into account information currently available to the Company. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, including those events and factors described in "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the Company's recent Quarterly Reports, filed with the SEC, not all of which are known to the Company. The Company will update this forward-looking information only to the extent required under applicable securities laws. Neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of these forward-looking statements.
