11. Investors Should Not Unduly Rely on Any Forward-Looking Information

Our Site may contain information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, specifically the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They typically use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other similar words. Any or all of our forward-looking statements here or in other publications may turn out to be wrong.

Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual results may vary materially, and there are no guarantees about the performance of our stock. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should see our SEC filings for more information on these and other factors besides those listed here that could also adversely affect us.

We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in events, circumstances or expectations or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date on which such statement is made. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the effect of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.
