can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the Company&#146;s expectations. Factors
which could cause materially different results include, among others, the risk that the final
conclusion of the Audit Committee&#146;s investigation could result in a determination that the effect
of the issues under review are materially greater or lesser than the Company currently believes to
be the case; the risk that the investigation could take longer than expected because of
unanticipated issues; the Company&#146;s ability to become current in its filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission; additional issues that may arise in connection with the Audit Committee&#146;s
ongoing investigation or the audit by the Company&#146;s independent public accounting firm; and other
risks and uncertainties discussed more fully in the Company&#146;s SEC filings, including those
discussed under Item&nbsp;1A. &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the Company&#146;s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July
31, 2006, and in the &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations&#148; section of the Company&#146;s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April&nbsp;30, 2007, which are on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and may be accessed at http://www.sec.gov. The
Company disclaims any obligation to update or correct any forward-looking statements made herein
due to the occurrence of events after the issuance of this report, except as required under federal
securities laws.
