This report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 furnished herewith, contains forward looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Registrant’s beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions, and future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond the Registrant’s control, and which may cause its actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
