Item 5. Other Events.
On May 7, 2003 TVI Corporation issued the press release attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.
Matters discussed in the attached press release contain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These statements may be identified by the use of
forward-looking words or phrases such as "should", "expect", "might result", and
similar wording. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance, as actual results
could differ materially from the Company's current expectations. Such risks and
uncertainties include achieving order and sales levels to fulfill the Company's
revenue expectations; the Company's ability to respond to changes in the
counter-terrorism, military, public safety, and first responder communities;
adverse changes in governmental regulations; expected costs or charges, certain
of which may be outside the control of the Company; the time and costs involved
in the marketing and promotion for the Company's products; general economic and
business conditions; and competitive factors in the Company's markets and
industry generally. Numerous other factors could cause or contribute to such
differences, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Company's
Annual Report to Stockholders, 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and other SEC filings. Readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which speak only as to the date of the press release. The Company does not
undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
the press release.
