Cautionary Statement for Purposes of "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This written Presentation and the oral information provided in connection
therewith contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning, among other things, the
Company's prospects, developments and business strategies for its operations,
all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are identified by their use of such terms and phrases as "intend,"
"intends," "intended," ""goal," "estimate," "estimates," "expect," "expects,"
"expected," "project," "projects," "projected," "projections," "plans,"
"anticipate," "anticipates," "anticipated," "should," "designed to,"
"foreseeable future," "believe," "believes," and "scheduled."
When a forward-looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or
basis underlying the forward-looking statement, the Company cautions that, while
it believes such assumptions or basis to be reasonable and makes them in good
faith, assumed facts or basis almost always vary from actual results, and the
differences between assumed facts or basis and actual results can be material,
depending upon the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking statement, the
Company or its management expresses an expectation or belief as to future
results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to
have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of
expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.
The Company's actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in
the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference
include: (a) the general political, economic and competitive conditions in the
United States and other markets where the Company operates; (b) initiatives to
reduce the federal budget deficit and reductions in defense spending; (c)
reductions in the U.S. Navy contracts awarded to the Company; (d) unanticipated
events or circumstances adversely affecting design and manufacturing processes,
which impair or prevent the Company's efforts to reduce production costs and
cycle time, or its ability to realize, or realize in a timely manner, some or
all of such cost and time savings; (e) changes in capital availability or costs,
such as changes in interest rates, market perceptions of the industry in which
the Company operates, or security ratings; (f) employee workforce factors,
including issues relating to collective bargaining agreements or work stoppages;
and (g) authoritative generally accepted accounting principles or policy changes
from such standard-setting bodies as the Financial Accounting Standards Board
and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
