Merrill Lynch may make or publish forward-looking statements about
management's expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated
expense savings and financial results, anticipated results of litigation and
regulatory proceedings and other similar matters. A variety of factors, many of
which are beyond our control, affect the operations, performance, business
strategy and results of Merrill Lynch and could cause actual results and
experiences to differ materially from the expectations and objectives expressed
in these statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the factors
described in the company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent
reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q, which are available at the SEC's website,
www.sec.gov. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are
made. Merrill Lynch does not undertake to update such statements to reflect the
impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date these statements
were made.
