   News Release of Smart & Final Inc. dated August 19, 2003

 

The statements in this Form 8-K Current Report concerning management’s expectations constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, Smart & Final Inc. (the “Company”) notes that such forward looking statements are based upon internal estimates which are subject to change because they reflect preliminary information and management assumptions, and that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward looking statements. This report includes “forward looking statements” including, without limitation, statements as to the Company’s liquidity and availability of capital resources.
