Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements about Polaris that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Polaris cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive.
