Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements instead of historical facts and may be identified generally by the use of forward-looking terminology and words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “potentially,” “may,” “continue,” “should,” “will” and words of similar meaning. Without limiting the generality of the preceding statement, all statements in this report relating to product demand, inventory levels, production plans and capacity, estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, sources of capital, growth rates and future financial and operating results are forward-looking statements. The Company cautions investors that any such forward-looking statements are only estimates based on current information and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results contained in the forward-looking statements. The Company cannot give assurances that any such statements will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described from time to time in the Company’s public releases and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company also cautions investors that the forward-looking information described herein represents the Company’s outlook only as of this date, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or developments after the date of this report.
