Forward Looking Statements
No statement in the materials on the Micro-Site shall be deemed to be a forecast projection or estimate of the future financial performance of Rich Pro or Asa, unless otherwise stated. Documents accessible on the Micro-Site may contain forward looking statements relating to the Acquisition such as "anticipate", "believe", "can", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "opportunity", "will" and "would". The nature of these statements means that they are based on assumptions and assessments and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward looking statements because certain factors, risks and uncertainties may be beyond the knowledge and/or control of Rich Pro or Asa, such as market conditions and the performance of competitors. Rich Pro disclaims any obligation in respect of forward looking statements, and only intends to update these forward looking statements if required by applicable law.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement in this Micro-Site is intended to constitute a profit forecast for any period and no statement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share will necessarily be greater or lesser than those for the relevant preceding financial periods for Rich Pro or Asa as appropriate.

All subsequent oral or written forward looking statements attributable to Rich Pro or Asa, or any of their respective members, directors, officers, advisers or employees or any person acting on their behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above.
