This press release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Exchange Act of 1934, many of which are beyond our control and all of which are based on our current beliefs and expectations about future events. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “will”, “anticipate”, “estimate” and similar expressions and include, among others, statements regarding our strategy, operations, economic performance, financial condition, future results of operations and capital needs, estimates of additional payments to be made pursuant to certain acquisition agreements and the temporary staffing industry generally. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, because such statements involve uncertainties and risks, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: our ability to achieve and manage growth; risks associated with the acquisition of new businesses; the highly competitive nature of the temporary staffing industry; our ability to attract qualified technical professionals and retain key personnel; economic and business conditions in the UK, continental Europe and the United States; the success of our operating strategies; changes in government regulations; our ability to retain existing customers and to obtain new customers; fluctuations in exchange rates and demand for staffing services; and business risk management. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
