INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS — Certain of the statements contained in this report and the exhibits attached hereto are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, “could”, “estimates”, “plans”, “would”, “should”, “potential”, “continues”, and similar words or expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances). These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, anticipated financial performance; expected liquidity and capitalization; expected results of strategic initiatives; drivers of revenue growth; management’s plans and objectives for future operations, expenditures and product development and investments in research and development; business prospects; potential of future product releases; anticipated sales performance; industry trends; market conditions; changes in actual or assumed tax liabilities; expectations regarding tax exposure; expected timing of refinancing the Company’s debt; and future acquisitions and dispositions and anticipated benefits from any acquisitions or dispositions.

Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and belief concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company.
