Dott, President This report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not represent historical facts, but rather statements about management's beliefs, plans and objectives about the future, as well as its assumptions and judgments concerning such beliefs, plans and objectives. These statements are evidenced by terms such as "anticipate", "estimate", "should", "expect", "believe", "intend", and similar expressions.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; and other circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated will be realized, or if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences on the Company's business or operations.
