The Results of the Plan

This Strategic Plan is a financial planning model used by Management and Staff and has
become an effective tool in addressing the business concerns of the City of Mansfield. It
has become a guide, indicator and reference point for the Rating Agencies and the
investment community in assessing the credit strength of the City. This Plan is a forward-
looking statement and includes the City’s expectations, hopes, intentions and strategies
regarding the future. These forward-looking statements included herein are necessarily
based on assumptions and estimates inherently subject to various risks and uncertainties,
including the possible invalidity of the underlying assumptions and estimates, possible
changes or developments in social, economic, business, industry, market, legal and
regulatory circumstances and conditions, and actions taken or omitted by third parties,
including customers, suppliers, business partners, competitors and legislative, judicial or
any other governmental authorities or officials. Assumptions related to the foregoing
involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive,
market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible
to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Any such assumptions
could be inaccurate, and there can be no guarantee that the forward-looking statements
included in this Executive Summary will prove to be accurate or binding.
