These statements are generally identified by words such as "believes," "expects," "predicts," "intends," "projects," "plans," "estimates," "aims," "foresees," "anticipates," "targets," and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements, including but not limited to assumptions, opinions and views of the Company or information from third party sources, contained in this presentation are based on current plans, estimates, assumptions and projections and involve uncertainties and risks.

Results contained in this presentation are partly based on unaudited pro-forma financial results that the Company derived from its preliminary and past financial statements for the indicated periods in order to make these periods comparable and show non-recurring costs.
This presentation contains preliminary results and pro-forma results. The preliminary results may change during their final review. While the Company believes that its pro-forma financial results are reflective of its recurrent trends and the on-going status of its business, there can be no assurance that its pro-forma results will accurately reflect these trends and status and therefore, its investors are urged not to rely solely upon the pro-forma results when making their investing decision and the pro-forma results should always be reviewed together with its actual financial results.
