Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Reports

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Reports, which were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Reports are limited in scope, cover a limited time period and have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Reports were not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules, and are subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. The Monthly Operating Reports also contain information for periods shorter and otherwise different from those contained in the Company’s reports required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Reports are complete. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Reports should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

As previously reported in a Form 12b-25 filed on May 9, 2023, the Company will not file a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 or any periodic reports for subsequent periods. Instead, the Company will file Current Reports on Form 8-K containing (i) disclosure of all material events in the Chapter 11 Case and any other information required by the instructions to Form 8-K and (ii) as exhibits, the operating reports and any other documents that include unaudited financial information filed by the Company with the Bankruptcy Court.

Forward-Looking Statements

Various statements in this Form 8-K or documents referred to herein, including those that express a belief, expectation, target or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, and/or the Monthly Operating Reports are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and/or the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as applicable. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this filing that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes, targets or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and other factors, which include the following: risks and uncertainties relating to the Chapter 11 Case, including but not limited to, the effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case in general, the duration of the Chapter 11 Case, risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Case, risks related to the trading of the Company’s securities on the OTC Pink Market, the risk that the Chapter 11 Case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, as well as other risk factors. The Company therefore cautions readers against relying on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
