Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this presentation may constitute “forward looking” statements which involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements in
the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward looking statements. When used in this presentation, such statements use such words
as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “believe,” “plan” and other similar terminology. The risks and
uncertainties are detailed from time to time in reports filed by the Company with the securities regulatory
authorities, to which viewers of this presentation are referred for additional information concerning the
Company, its prospects and the risks and uncertainties relating to the Company and its prospects. New risk
factors may arise from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of those risk factors or
the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual rests, performance and achievements
of the Company to be materially different from those contained in forward looking statements. Given these
risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements as a prediction
of actual results. There should not be an expectation that forward looking information will, in all
circumstances, be updated, supplemented or revised, whether as a result of new information, changing
circumstances, future events or otherwise.
