Forward Looking
Statements The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe
harbor" for forward-looking statements. Any written or oral statements made by
the Company or on behalf of the Company in conjunction with this presentation may
include forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from such statements. This document contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning, among other
things, the Company's prospects, developments and business strategies for its operations, all of
which are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in overall economic conditions,
changes in the cost of raw materials and natural gas used in manufacturing our
products, changes in demand and prices charged for our products, changes in the demand
for, or price of, oil and natural gas, risks of increased competition, technological,

foreign operations and foreign currency exchange rates and controls, weather-related risks
and other risks and uncertainties described in our publicly available filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The words "believe,
"expect, "anticipate, "project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
Participants are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, each of which speaks only as of the date the statement was made. The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except
