ADVISORY: This press release contains forward looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains forward looking statements concerning the private placement. Although Paris and MAPAN believe that the expectations reflected in these forward looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because neither Paris nor MAPAN can give assurances that they will prove to be correct.
