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.
