on current expectations or beliefs, as well as assumptions about future events.
Generally, the words "will", "may", "should", "continue", "believes",
"expects", "intends", "anticipates" or similar expressions identify forward
looking statements. These forward looking statements involve unknown risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by them. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that
are beyond the companies' abilities to control or estimate precisely, such as
future market conditions and the behaviours of other market participants, and
therefore undue reliance should not be placed on such statements which speak
only as at the date of this announcement. The Company assumes no obligation,
except as required pursuant to applicable law, does not intend to update these
forward looking statements regardless of whether that statement is affected as
