Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements
of historical facts.
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe,"
"anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect" "pending" and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various
assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination
of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that
these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or
accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
