 Forward-looking statements contain risks
This document contains forward-looking statements that
reflect management's current views with respect to future
events. The words “anticipate”, “assume”, “believe”,
“estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “project”,
“should”, and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties. If any of these or other risks and uncertainties
occur, or if the assumptions underlying any of these
statements prove incorrect, then actual results may be
materially different from those expressed or implied by such
statements. We do not intend or assume any obligation to
update any forward-looking statement, which speaks only as
of the date on which it is made.
