Warren Elliott Forward Looking Statements In order to help you to better understand the business of the Company – where we have been and where we want to go – my remarks today (and those of other Company officers who will speak or respond to questions) will include forward looking statements relating to anticipated financial performance, future operating results, business prospects, new products, and similar matters. These statements represent our best judgment, based upon present circumstances and the information now available to us, of what we think may occur in the future – and, of course, it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those we envision today. For a more complete discussion on the subject of forward looking statements, including a list of some of the risk factors that might adversely affect operating results, I refer you to the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” which appears in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
