forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S.

1934.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current beliefs,
expectations and intentions as to facts, actions and events that will or may
occur in the future.  Such statements generally are identified by
forward-looking words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148;

forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
some of which are beyond our control.  In addition, these forward-looking
statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not
a guarantee of future performance.  Actual results may differ materially from
information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number
of factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  You should also keep in mind that
any forward-looking statement made by us in this report or elsewhere speaks
only as at the date on which we made it.  New risks and uncertainties come up
from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how
they may affect us.  We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise
the statements in this report after the date hereof.  In light of these risks
and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that actual results may differ
materially from any forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere.</p>
