Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the Information included in this Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully for the following reasons: such statements discuss our future expectations, such statements contain projections of future earnings or financial condition and such statements state other forward-looking information. Although it is important to communicate our expectations, there may be events in the future that we are not accurately able to predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003 provide examples of such risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect ensuing events or circumstances, or subsequent actual results.
