FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include the words “believe,” “continue,” “expect,” “target,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “potential,” “project,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could and will cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the Company’s public filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available at the time of such document, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
