Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Statements in this filing (including the Exhibits hereto) regarding the proposed
transaction between Clearwater Compliance LLC, Clearwater Compliance Acquisition
Company I, and the Company (the "Merger"), and any other statements about future
expectations, plans, and prospects for the Company, including statements
containing the words "believes," "will," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and
similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ
materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result
of various important factors, including the risk that the proposed Merger may
not be completed in a timely manner, or at all, which may adversely affect the
Company's business and the price of its common stock; the failure to satisfy all
of the closing conditions of the proposed Merger, including the approval of the
Merger Agreement by the Company's stockholders; the occurrence of any event,
change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the
Merger Agreement; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed
Merger on the Company's business, operating results, and relationships with
customers, suppliers, competitors and others; risks that the proposed Merger may
disrupt the Company's current plans and business operations; potential
difficulties retaining employees as a result of the proposed Merger; risks
related to the diverting of management's attention from the Company's ongoing
business operations; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted
against the Company related to the Merger Agreement or the proposed Merger;
risks relating to product development and commercialization, limited demand for
the Company's products and services, limited number of customers, risks
associated with competition, uncertainties associated with regulatory agency
approvals, competitive pricing pressures, downturns in the economy,
acquisition-related risks; and other factors discussed in the Company's most
recent quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the
forward-looking statements included in this filing represent the Company's views
as of the date of this document. While the Company anticipates that subsequent
events and developments will cause the Company's views to change, the Company
specifically disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
representing the Company's views as of any later date.
