SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Our disclosure and analysis in this press release contain some
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current
expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these
statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect,"
"project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of
similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating
or financial performance. In particular, these include statements
relating to future actions, future performance of our products,
expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results.
Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on
reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about
our business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual
results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Some
of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our
expectations or beliefs include, without limitation: the adverse effect
from a decline in the securities markets; a decline in the performance
of our products; a general downturn in the economy; changes in
government policy or regulation; changes in our ability to attract or
retain key employees; and unforeseen costs and other effects related to
legal proceedings or investigations of governmental and self-regulatory
organizations. We also direct your attention to any more specific
discussions of risk contained in our Form 10-K and other public filings.
We are providing these statements as permitted by the Private Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. We do not undertake to update publicly any
forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely
to achieve our expectations or if we receive any additional information
relating to the subject matters of our forward-looking statements.
