The passage of time can render information contained in, or linked to, this Site stale. The Company is not responsible for any misimpressions which may result from the reading of dated material. Viewers should consider the dates of issuance of all items and information contained in, or linked to, this Site.

United Stated Securities Laws
The Site may be considered to contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipate,“ “estimate,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify such forward-looking statements. Those forward-looking statements are management's present expectations of future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, future events or otherwise. The Company operates in highly competitive, consumer driven and rapidly changing business that is dependent on government regulation and economic, political and social conditions in the countries in which it operates, customer demand for its products and services, and technological developments. The Company's actual results could differ materially from management's expectations because of changes in such factors. In addition, the Company's overall strategy, including its financial strategy, its growth in operations, the maintenance of its financial ratios and the like could be adversely affected by failure to meet earnings expectations, significant acquisitions or other transactions, consequences of the euro conversion and changes in the Company's plans, strategies and intentions.
