See Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Statements included in this current Report and the documents
incorporated by reference which are not historical in nature
are intended to be and are hereby identified as
"forward-looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor
provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements
may be identified by words including "anticipates,"
"believes," "projects," "intends," "estimates," "expects,"
"plans," "assumes," "seeks," and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements including, without limitation,
those relating to Registrants' future business prospects,
revenues, proceeds, working capital, liquidity, income, and
margins, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking statements, due to several
important factors including those identified from time to time
in the forward-looking statements. Those factors include, but
are not limited to: weather; energy supply and demand; fuel
prices; interest rates; potential future acquisitions;
developments in the legislative, regulatory and competitive
environment; market risks; electric and natural gas industry
restructuring and cost recovery; the ability to obtain
adequate and timely rate relief; changes in fuel supply or
costs including future market prices for energy capacity and
ancillary services; the success of strategies to satisfy
electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and propane requirements;
the outcome of pending litigation and certain environmental
matters, particularly the status of inactive hazardous waste
disposal sites and waste site remediation requirements; and
certain presently unknown or unforeseen factors, including,
but not limited to, acts of terrorism. Registrants undertake
no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise. Given these uncertainties, undue
reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking
statements.
