Forward Looking Statements 2 The information presented herein may contain projections, predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements will use words like “may,” “may not,” “believes,” “do not believe,” “expects,” “do not expect,” “anticipate,” “does not anticipate,” and other similar expressions. Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that these expectations will be realized. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in these forward looking statements include: (1) our ability to meet our raw material requirements through our annual menhaden harvest, which is subject to fluctuations due to natural conditions over which we have no control, such as varying fish population, fish oil yields, adverse weather conditions, oil spill impacts and disease; (2) the impact of laws and regulations that may be enacted that may restrict our operations or the sale of products; (3) the impact of worldwide supply and demand relationships on prices for our products; (4) our expectations regarding demand and pricing for our products proving to be incorrect; (5) fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly operating results due to the seasonality of our business and our deferral of inventory sales based on worldwide prices for competing products, (6) the impact of the uncertain economic conditions, both in the United States and globally; (7) the effect of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on our business, operations and fish catch, both short-term and long-term; (8) the business, operations, potential or prospects for our new Cyvex subsidiary, the dietary supplement market or the human health and wellness segment generally; and (9) the amount, if any, of future reimbursements from the Deepwater Horizon defendants or the GCCF for damages caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. |
