CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report contains certain “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) which are based upon the Company’s current internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs which are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and many of which, regarding future business decisions, are subject to change. Such forward-looking statements may include information regarding our financial position, business strategy, growth strategies, status of acquisitions, status of licensing and certification in new markets, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives. Particularly, statements regarding our expectations of future results, management’s interpretation of laws, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities or the markets in which we operate, as well as statements relating to expectations regarding industry trends, regulatory developments in new markets, our ability to continually diversify and reduce our exposure to any single market, our growth rates, the achievement of advances in and expansion of our platforms, expectations regarding our revenue and the revenue generation potential of our business, expected acquisition outcomes and synergies, management’s interpretation of regulatory regimes and future developments, our business plans and strategies, and our competitive position in our industry are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, targets, guidance, or other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Such forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Annual Report.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. The Company is unable to guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the outcome of the forward-looking statements.
