Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 12b-25 includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the statements regarding the Company’s completion of the internal accounting review, the materiality of the errors identified in the Company’s accounting review, expectations regarding a material weakness, and the timing of filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Because such statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement include but are not limited to risks associated with: the Company’s ability to complete the accounting review and the financial closing procedures; the risk that the Company finds additional errors or discovers additional material weaknesses; as well as the risks described in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements after the date hereof, even though the Company’s situation may change in the future. All of the forward-looking statements herein are qualified by these cautionary statements.
