Legal disclaimer
A report is issued and approved for distribution in the United States by Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc., a member of the FINRA, SIPC, the FINRAAQ Stock Exchange ("NQX") and the Pacific Stock Exchange ("PCX"). A report is intended for distribution in the United States only to Institutional Investors (as such term is defined in FINRA Rule 3110(c)(4)) and is not intended for the use of any person or entity that is not an institutional investor.
A report may be provided, for informational purposes only, to Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. institutional investor clients, and does not constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities discussed therein in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be prohibited. A report and any of the products and information contained therein are not intended for the use of private investors.
The securities mentioned in a report may not be suitable for all types of investors. A report does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or specific needs of any particular client of Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. Recipients should consider a report as only a single factor in making an investment decision and should not rely solely on investment recommendations contained therein, if any, as a substitution for the exercise of independent judgment of the merits and risks of investments. The analyst writing a report is not a person or company with actual, implied or apparent authority to act on behalf of any issuer mentioned in the report. Before making an investment decision with respect to any security recommended in a report, the recipient should consider whether such recommendation is appropriate given the recipient's particular investment needs, objectives and financial circumstances.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made regarding future performance of any security mentioned in a report. The price of securities mentioned in a report and the income they produce may fluctuate and/or be adversely affected by exchange rates, and investors may realize losses on investments in such securities, including the loss of investment principal. Morgan Joseph & Co.

All estimates, opinions and recommendations expressed therein constitute judgments as of the date of the report and are subject to change without notice.
Nothing in a report constitutes legal, accounting or tax advice. Since the levels and bases of taxation can change, any reference in a report to the impact of taxation should not be construed as offering tax advice on the tax consequences of investments. As with any investment having potential tax implications, clients should consult with their own independent tax adviser.
