Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, may constitute forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans” or other words or phrases of similar import, and includes statements made concerning the expected cost of the voluntary recall.  Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause results to differ include a higher than expected response to the voluntary recall, a change in the amount of shared costs from the monitor manufacturer, and additional factors found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  These forward-looking statements are based on information as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
