Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein.

However, due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results may differ from those provided in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
