Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements



This Form 12b-25 contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: 'expect,' 'anticipate,' estimate,' 'preliminary' and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Company's expectations relating to the filing of its Form 10-Q and the results of the ongoing review. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they represent the Company's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated events and trends affecting its business and industry based on information available as of the time such statements are made. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which may be outside of the Company's control. The Company's actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a material delay in the Company's financial reporting, including the possibility that the Company will not be able to file its Form 10-Q within the five-day extension permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the possibility that the ongoing review may identify errors or control deficiencies in the Company's accounting practices. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this filing, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
