Our call today is planned for about one hour.
To start, let me provide our safe harbor statement. Comments made on this call may contain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements are based upon current information and managements expectations regarding the company, speak only as of the date of which they are made and are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in such forward looking statements.
Such differences could be caused by a number of factors including risks described from time to time and H&R Block’s Press Releases and Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
