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. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by words including "anticipates,"
"intends," "estimates," "expects," "believes," "projects," "plans,"
"assumes," "seeks," and similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements including, without limitation, those relating to
Registrants' future business prospects, revenues, proceeds,
liquidity, working capital, 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; developments in the
legislative, regulatory and competitive environment; market risks;
potential future acquisitions; 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; electric
and natural gas industry restructuring and cost recovery; 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.
