These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections at the time the Company makes the statements and readers should not place undue reliance on them. In some cases, readers can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terms such as “may,” “will,” “should, “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and the Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this filing, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake to update any of these statements in light of new information or future events.
