Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Report
The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue
reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which
was 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
Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared
solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of
the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed
by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, is in a format prescribed by applicable
bankruptcy laws or rules, and is subject to future adjustment and
reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an
investor or potential investor in the Company's securities, the Monthly
Operating Report is complete. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report
should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
As reported in a Form 12b-25 filed by the Company on May 28, 2020, the Company
is not filing an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February
29, 2020, or any other reports on Forms 10-Q or 10-K for subsequent periods.
Instead, the Company intends to file Current Reports on Form 8-K containing the
Company's monthly operating reports that are filed by the Company with the
Bankruptcy Court.
