All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "goals", "intend", "may", "objectives", "outlook", "plan", "probably", "project", "risks", "seek", "should", "target", "will" and similar terms and phrases.
There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of HIT and the HIT Group and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Microsite.
