Forward
Looking Statements
Information
provided and statements contained in this report that are not purely historical
are forward -looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements only speak as
of
the date of this report and the company assumes no obligation to update the
information included in this report. Such forward-looking statements include
information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations,
including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements often include
words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or
similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of performance or
results and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the
risk of continued delay in the completion of our financial statements and the
consequences thereof, the availability of funds, either through cash on hand
or
the company’s other liquidity sources, to repay any amounts due should any of
the company’s debt become accelerated, and decisions by suppliers and other
vendors to restrict or eliminate customary trade and other credit terms for
the
company’s future orders and other services, which would require the company to
pay cash and which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s
liquidity position and financial condition. Although we believe that these
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are many
factors that could affect our actual financial results or results of operations
and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. For a further description of these factors, see
Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K filed on April 12, 2006. In addition, the
financial information presented in this report is preliminary and unaudited
and
is subject to change based on the completion of our on-going review of
accounting matters, the completion of our fiscal year 2005 and 2006 annual
financial statements and the completion of the restatement of our financial
results for the fiscal years 2002 through 2004 and for the first nine months
of
fiscal 2005. It is likely that the process of restating the prior
year financial statements will require changes to the company’s financial
statements for 2005 and financial information for2005 through 2007 due to
revised application of certain accounting principles and methodologies that
individually or in the aggregate may be material.
