FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This presentation and certain statements may constitute forward- looking statements. Terms such as “expect”, “believe”, “continue”, “going forward”, “expand”, and “grow”, as well as similar comments, are forward-looking in nature. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, references to future capital investment, financial guidance of any kind, business strategies and measures to implement strategies, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of the business and operations, plans and references to the future success or the risk profile of the company. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with the expectations and predictions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including availability and cost of capital, general business and economic conditions, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the company. Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materiallyfrom those as described herein. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by management willbe realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the company.
