The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Registrant’s reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such information might not be indicative of the Registrant’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Registrant’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. The information set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
