There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained in this presentation.  Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward-looking statements. These risk factors include general
economic and industry conditions and consumer confidence; uncertainties arising from global events; the effects of changes in
