Statements included in this current Report and the documents
incorporated by reference which are not historical in nature are
intended to be and are hereby identified as "forward-looking
statements" for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by words including "anticipates,"
"intends," "estimates," "expects," "believes," "projects," "plans,"
"assumes," "seeks," and similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements including, without limitation, those relating to
Registrants' future business prospects, revenues, proceeds, working
capital, liquidity, income, and margins, are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements,
due to several important factors including those identified from
time to time in the forward-looking statements. Those factors
include, but are not limited to: weather; fuel prices; corn and
ethanol prices; plant capacity factors; energy supply and demand;
interest rates; potential future acquisitions; developments in the
legislative, regulatory, and competitive environment; market risks;
electric and natural gas industry restructuring and cost recovery;
the ability to obtain adequate and timely rate relief; changes in
fuel supply or costs including future market prices for energy,
capacity, and ancillary services; the success of strategies to
satisfy electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and propane
requirements; the outcome of pending litigation and certain
environmental matters, particularly the status of inactive hazardous
waste disposal sites and waste site remediation requirements; and
certain presently unknown or unforeseen factors, including, but not
limited to, acts of terrorism. Registrants undertake no obligation
to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Given these
uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on the
forward-looking statements.
