Cautionary Note About
Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation includes "forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, which involve uncertainties and risks. Forward-
looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues, future
results and performance, expectations, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other matters, business trends and other
information that is not historical, including statements regarding estimates of our future financial results. When used in this
presentation, words such as “estimates,”
“expects,”
“anticipates,”
“projects,”
“plans,”
“intends,”
“believes,”
“forecasts”
and
variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, estimates of our future financial
results, are based upon our expectations at the time we make them
and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a
reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and estimates will be
achieved, and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from our expectations, beliefs and estimates. The Company has
experienced fluctuating revenues, operating income and cash flow
in prior periods and expects that this will occur from time to time
in the future. Other factors that could cause such differences include declines in demand for, or changes in, the mix of services and
products that we offer, the mix of the geographic locations where our clients are located or where services are performed, adverse
financial, real estate or other market and general economic conditions, which could impact each of our segments differently, the
pace and timing of the consummation and integration of past and future acquisitions, the Company's ability to realize cost savings
and efficiencies, competitive and general economic conditions, retention of staff and clients and other risks described under the
heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, our Current Report on Form  8-K dated May 21, 2013
and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks set forth under “Risks Related
to Our Operating Segments”
and “Risks Related to Our Operations”. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking
statements to conform such statements to actual results or events and do not intend to do so.
