company performance and financial results. The words "anticipates", "believes",
"estimates", "expects", "plans" 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
