These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. The estimates relate to reimbursement by government and third party payors for the Company's products and services, the costs associated with government regulation of the health care industry and effects of competition and industry consolidation.

Key factors that have an impact on the Company's ability to attain these estimates include potential reductions in reimbursement rates by government and third party payors, changes in reimbursement policies, the demand for the Company's products and services, the availability of appropriate acquisition candidates and the Company's ability to successfully complete acquisitions, efficient operations of the Company's existing and future operating facilities, regulation and/or regulatory action affecting the Company or its business, economic and competitive conditions and access to borrowed and/or equity capital on favorable terms. In developing its forward-looking statements, the Company has made certain assumptions relating to reimbursement rates and policies, internal growth and acquisitions and the outcome of various legal and regulatory proceedings.
