The forward - looking statements herein relate to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "projects", "estimates", "envisages", "assumes", "intends", "s trategy", "goals", "objectives" or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "can", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be ta ken , occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) and include, without limitation, statements with respect to projected financia l t argets that the company is looking to achieve. All forward - looking statements are based on current beliefs as well as various assumptions made by, and information currently av ailable to the company's management team.
