Forward-Looking Statements

     When used throughout this form 8-K, the words “believes”, “anticipates” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the many risks and uncertainties which affect our business and actual results could differ materially from those projected and forecasted. These uncertainties, which include competition within the automobile finance industry, the effect of economic conditions, litigation risks and the availability of capital to finance planned growth, may not be limited to those we have identified and disclosed in this form 8-K. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Other than as may be required by law, we also undertake no obligation to update these forward looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances after the filing of this form 8-K.
