  • This presentation may contain and the Company may make verbal statements containing "forward-looking statements" with respect to certain of the Company's plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition, performance, strategic initiatives, objectives and results. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "aim", "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "seek", "may", "could", "outlook" or other words of similar meaning. By their nature, all forward- looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances which are beyond the control of the Company, including amongst other things, economic business conditions, market-related risks such as fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates, the effect of competition, the effect of tax and other legislation in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the effect of volatility in the equity, capital and credit markets on the Company's profitability and ability to access capital and credit, the effect of operational risks and the loss of key personnel.
  • As a result, the actual future financial condition, performance and results of the Company may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made herein by or on behalf of the Company speak only as of the date they are made. Whilst the directors believe all such statements to have been fairly made on reasonable assumptions, there can be no guarantee that any of them are accurate or that all relevant considerations have been included in the directors' assumptions. Accordingly, no reliance whatsoever should be placed upon the accuracy of such statements, all of which are for illustrative purposes only, are based solely upon historic financial and other trends and information, including third party estimates and sources, and may be subject to further verification.
  • Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publish any updates or revisions to any forward- looking statements contained in this presentation to reflect any changes in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. No statement in this presentation is intended to be a profit forecast, and no statement in this presentation should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of the Company for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of the Company.
