Where any such forward-looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or basis underlying such forward-looking statement, Curtiss-Wright Corporation cautions that, while it believes such assumptions or basis to be reasonable and makes them in good faith, assumed facts or basis almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or basis and actual results can be material, depending upon the circumstances. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected have been discussed herein and include the factors set forth below. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include uncertainties of economic, competitive and market decisions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Where, in any forward-looking statement, Curtiss-Wright Corporation, or its management, 2 expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.
