Although the Group believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are not guarantees or predictions of

future performance or statements of fact. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that

could cause the Group’s actual results, performance, operations or achievements or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance,

operations or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: global and local economic conditions; changes in market trends and end-consumer

pricing policies, conflicting taxation claims or changes in tax laws; and other factors referenced to in this report.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialise, or should any underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual financial

condition, cash flows or results of operations could differ materially from that described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Accordingly,

you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance the actual outcomes will not differ materially

from the forward-looking statements in this report.
