All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this release that address activities, events or developments that InterOil expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur are forward-looking statements. These statements, which include statements as to planning for or the timing of the proposed LNG project and future exploration, are based on our current beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to us. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur. Actual results could differ, and the difference may be material and adverse to the company and its shareholders. Such statements are subject to several assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company's control, which may cause our actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements.
