forward-looking words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “planned,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” and

inherently subject to many uncertainties in the Company’s operations and
business environment. These uncertainties include general economic
conditions, in particular, relating to the automotive industry, consumer demand
for the Company’s and its customers’ products, competitive and technological
developments, customer purchasing actions, foreign currency fluctuations, and
costs of operations. Shareholders, potential investors and other
readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the
forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
such
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made
herein are only made as of the date of this press release and the Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements
to
reflect subsequent events or circumstances occurring after the date of this
