New factors emerge from time to time, and it is
not possible for management to predict all of those factors or to
assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Company's
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking information. The forward-looking
information in this release is based on information currently
available and what management believes are reasonable assumptions.
Forward-looking information speaks only to such assumptions as of
the date of this release. In addition, this release may contain

sources, the accuracy of which has not been verified by the
Company. The purpose of forward-looking information is to provide
