FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 
This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant  from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the "Filings") contain or may contain forward looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant's  management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant's management.  When used in the filings the words "anticipate", "believe",  "estimate", "expect", "future", "intend",  "plan" or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to Registrant or Registrant's management identify forward looking statements.  Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to Registrant's industry, Registrant's operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by Registrant.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

 
Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
