FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant from time to time
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the "Filings") contain
or may contain forward looking statements and information that are based upon
beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant's management as
well as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant's management. When used in
the Filings the words "anticipate, "believe", "estimate", "expect", "future",
"intend", "plan" or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they
relate to Registrant or Registrant's management identify forward looking
statements. Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with respect
to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other
factors relating to Registrant's industry, Registrant's operations and results
of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by Registrant. Should one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those
anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

         Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the
forward looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by
applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant
does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these
statements to actual results.
