The disclosure in this Current Report, including the Exhibits attached hereto, of any information (financial or otherwise) does not constitute an admission that such information is material.

Forward Looking Information

Statements regarding the Company’s operational and financial success, business model, expectations about future events, competitive environment, and strategic alternatives, including financing alternatives, are forward-looking statements and are not historical facts. Instead, they are estimates or projections involving numerous risks or uncertainties, including but not limited to, consumer demand and acceptance of services offered by the Company, the Company’s ability to maintain or reduce cost and bad debt levels, and actions by competitors, regulatory matters and general economic conditions. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings, including but not limited to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009, or as supplemented in the Company’s subsequently filed periodic reports. The Company disclaims any obligation or duty to update or correct any of its forward-looking statements. All of our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made or, if a date is specified, as of such date. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any changes in events, conditions, circumstances or information on which the forward-looking statement is based. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing and the other risk factors referenced above.
