This press release contains forward-looking statements. You should not place 
undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous 
uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, 
all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. 
Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or 
assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business 
strategy. These statements often include words such as "may," "will," "should," 
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or similar 
expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in 
light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical 
trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we 
believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these 
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be 
aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of 
operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the 
forward-looking statements. These factors are discussed in the "Risk Factors" 
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations" sections and elsewhere in the Company's  registration statement. 
 
 
You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us herein, or 
elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which we make it. New risks and 
uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict 
these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to update any 
forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal 
securities laws.
