This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, which relate to future, not past, events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking
statements, which address the Company's expected business and financial performance and financial condition,
among other matters, contain words such as: “believe,” “could,” “opportunities,” “continue,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” or

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as
statements about expected income; earnings; revenues; and growth. Although the Company believes the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements can be found in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Company’s other reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. These or other uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual future
results to be materially different than those expressed in any forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes
no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to
market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations,
and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates
of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a
high degree of uncertainty and risk.
