      Certain statements in the preceding paragraphs are forward-looking, 
      and actual results may differ materially. Statements not based on 
      historic facts involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not 
      limited to the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances

      proceedings that have been or may be instituted against the company 
      related to the merger agreement; the inability to complete the merger

      current plans and operations and any potential difficulties in employee 
      retention as a result of the merger and the impact of the substantial 
      indebtedness to be incurred to finance the consummation of the merger.
