This filing contains “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or projected. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the impact of management’s conclusion, in consultation with the Audit Committee, that material weaknesses existed in the Company’s internal control procedures over financial reporting; the evaluation and implementation of remediation efforts designed and implemented to enhance the Company’s control environment; the potential identification of one or more additional material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control of which the Company is not currently aware or that have not yet been detected; the potential identification of one or more material weaknesses in the Company’s consolidated financial statements of which the Company is not currently aware or that have not yet been detected; and those described more fully in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of this date, and the Company undertakes no duty to update such information except as required under applicable law.
