These statements are statements that are not historical facts, and are based on management's current view and estimates of future
economic circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results. The words &quot;anticipates&quot;, &quot;believes&quot;,
&quot;estimates&quot;, &quot;expects&quot;, &quot;plans&quot; and similar expressions, as they relate to the company, are intended
to identify forward-looking statements. Statements regarding the declaration or payment of dividends, the implementation of principal
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
results to differ materially from current expectations.</P>
