     Materials in this press release may contain information that includes or
 is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities
 Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our
 expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements
 by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.
 They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project,"
 "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in
 connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. In
 particular, these include statements relating to future steps we may take,
 prospective products, future performance or results of current and anticipated
 products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal
 proceedings, and financial results.
     Any or all of our forward-looking statements here or in other publications
 may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by
 known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important
 in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking
 statement can be guaranteed. Our actual results may vary materially, and there
 are not guarantees about the performance of our stock.
     Any forward-looking statements represent our expectations or forecasts
 only as of the date they were made and should not be relied upon as
 representing our expectations or forecasts as of any subsequent date. We
 undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements,
 whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if
 our expectations or forecasts change. You are advised, however, to consult any
 further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports filed with the
 SEC. In particular, you should read the discussion in the section entitled
 "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in our most recent
 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as it may be updated in subsequent reports filed
 with the SEC. That discussion covers certain risks, uncertainties and possibly
 inaccurate assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ
 materially from expected and historical results. Other factors besides those
 listed there could also adversely affect our results.
