Forward-Looking
Statements
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provide a
“safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage
companies to provide prospective information about their
companies. With the exception of historical information, the
matters discussed in this annual report are forward-looking
statements and may be identified by the use of words such as
“believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,”
“estimate,” “intend” and “potential.” Such statements
reflect our current view with respect to future events and are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. A variety
of factors could cause our actual results to differ materially
from the anticipated results expressed in such forward-looking
statements, including, among other things, general economic
conditions,
acquisitions and development of new businesses, product
availability, sales volumes, profit margins, weather, foreign
currency fluctuation, availability of suitable real estate
locations, and the impact of labor markets and new product
introductions on our overall profitability. Readers should review
our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 16, 2001, which describes
additional important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking
statements made in this annual report.
