operating and financing strategies and capital expenditure plans, the direction of future operations and the factors or trends
affecting financial condition, liquidity or results of operations are examples of forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect
the current views of management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. There is no guarantee that the expected
events, trends or results will actually occur. The statements are based on many assumptions and factors, including general economic
and market conditions, industry conditions, and operating factors. Any changes in such assumptions or factors could cause actual
