including interest rate fluctuations. Other risks and uncertainties that may
materially affect the company are provided in the company's annual reports to
shareholders and the company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and

Please refer to these documents for a more thorough description of these and
other risk factors. The company assumes no obligation to publicly revise or
