Silent Period

In order to prevent the leakage of financial information and to ensure fairness, the Company has adopted a "silent period" that commences on the day following the closing date of the fiscal period and ends on the day the related financial statements are released. During this period, we will not make any comments or respond to any questions concerning our business results for the relevant period. However, if we determine during the silent period that the results will differ significantly from our forecast, we will disclose the relevant information in a timely manner. During the silent period we will gladly respond to any questions concerning information that has already been released.
