Statements in the exhibits to this Form 8-K about the future outlook related to Seitel involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Seitel's actual results to differ materially from expected results. While Seitel believes its forecasting assumptions are reasonable, there are factors that are hard to predict and influenced by economic and other conditions that are beyond Seitel's control. Among the other important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are detailed in Seitel's previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
