Exhibit 99.1


Certain statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking
statements based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections
and assumptions. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,”
“believes,” “scheduled,” “estimates” and variations of these words and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements,
which include but are not limited to projections of revenues, earnings,  and
cash flow.  These statements are based on information currently available
to the Company and it assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking
statements as circumstances change.  These statements are not
guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and
uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results
and trends may differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking
statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the
level of market demand for its services, the highly competitive market for
the types of services offered by the company, the impact of competitive
factors on profit margins, market conditions that could cause the
Company’s customers to reduce their spending for its services, and the
company’s ability to create, acquire and build new lines of business, to
attract and retain qualified personnel, reduce costs and conserve cash, and
other risks that are described in more detail in the company’s filings with
