GEOPETRO RESOURCES COMPANY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES

The interim consolidated financial statements of GeoPetro Resources Company ("we," "us," "our," "GeoPetro" or the "Company") are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, the volatility in crude oil and natural gas commodity prices, interest rates, estimates of reserves, drilling risks, geological risks, transportation restrictions, the timing of acquisitions, product demand, market competition, interruption in production and our ability to obtain additional capital. You should read these consolidated interim financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in GeoPetro's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the accounts of GeoPetro and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural gas reserves, which may affect the amount at which oil and natural gas properties are recorded. The computation of share-based compensation expense requires assumptions such as volatility, expected life and the risk-free interest rate. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

2. LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2013, we had a cash balance of $102,230 and a working capital deficit of $7,534,898, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our cash used in operating activities amounted to $909,855. Our results of operations have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $52,082,949 from inception through the nine months ended September 30, 2013. If capital is available, we estimate that our investment needs during the remainder of fiscal year 2013 and 2014 will amount to $6,345,000 related to our natural gas properties within the Madisonville field, our California properties and our Canadian properties.

We hold working interests and overriding royalty interests in undeveloped leases, seismic options, lease options and foreign concessions; and we have participated in seismic surveys and the drilling of test wells on undeveloped properties. We plan further leasehold acquisitions for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 and future periods. Exploratory and developmental drilling is scheduled during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and future periods on our undeveloped properties. We will need additional financing to continue our operations and our planned development activities. If additional financing is not available, we will be compelled to reduce the scope of our business activities. If we are unable to fund our operating cash flow needs and planned capital investments, it may be necessary to farm-out our interest in proposed wells, sell a portion of our interest in prospects, sell a portion of our interest in our producing oil and gas properties, reduce general and administrative expenses, or a combination of all of these factors. Further, we have maturing debt obligations, debt service and lease obligations that will require cash payments.

GeoPetro’s ability to meet its contractual obligations and remit payment under its arrangements with its vendors depends on its ability to generate additional financing. GeoPetro’s management continues to renegotiate the terms of its existing borrowing arrangements and raise additional capital through debt and equity issuances. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

As a result of the Company's liquidity issues, it may be required to sell certain assets, including reserves and/or raise capital with terms that may not be as favorable as might otherwise be available.

In April 2012, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Redwood Energy Production, L.P., elected to temporarily shut-in its natural gas production at the Madisonville Field, Madison County, Texas in light of depressed natural gas prices. The Company is monitoring market conditions and will bring its natural gas production back on stream as market conditions warrant. As of September 30, 2013, the Madisonville Field remains shut-in. For the year ended December 31, 2012, 100% of the Company's revenue was derived from the natural gas production in the Madisonville Field.

On February 28, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with MCW Energy Group Limited, an Ontario corporation (“MCW”), and MCW CA SUB, a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). On April 4, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and the Company will survive the Merger and continue as a subsidiary of MCW. The Merger Agreement has been approved by Boards of Directors of each of the Company, MCW and Merger Sub. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approval. As of September 30, 2013, the parties are continuing to move forward with the Merger.

As of September 30, 2013, Stuart J. Doshi, President and CEO, has advanced to the Company twenty-six loans totaling $827,000. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are payable on demand (Note 5).

3. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per common share is computed in the same manner, but also considers the effect of common stock shares underlying the following:

	As of
	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012
Stock options		1,055,000		3,445,000
Warrants		6,822,165		5,399,265
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B		5,370,027		5,423,000

All of the common shares underlying the stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock, Series B above were excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 respectively because their effects were considered antidilutive.

4. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

There were no material changes to oil and gas properties from those disclosed in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 other than those discussed below.

The Company has proved undeveloped reserves included in the carrying value of its proved properties. The Company is confident capital will be raised to further develop these reserves, however, if such capital is not raised, the Company may be required to impair the Proved property asset in the future.

5. DEBT

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 debt consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
*Current*
Related party notes (a)	$	877,000		$	565,000
Promissory notes (b)		2,845,000			975,000

Promissory notes (b)		150,000			1,665,000
Less discount on promissory notes		(6,854	)		(20,573	)

6. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2013 and 2012 were negligible, primarily due to the Company’s loss position and the deferred tax asset being 100% reserved.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In January 2013, we completed a unit sale through a private placement transaction to certain institutional and individual accredited investors. Units were priced at $0.10 per unit, and each unit consisted of one share of no par value common stock, and a one-half common share purchase warrant. Each one whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.50 for a period of three years. The total aggregate purchase price for the units sold was $132,500, and represented the sale of 1,325,000 common shares and 662,500 warrants (Note 9). We agreed to grant “piggyback” registration rights to the investor with respect to the shares of common stock and common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which the investor acquired in the transaction.

In January 2013, we agreed to rescind a unit subscription agreement. Units were originally priced at $0.25 per unit, and each unit consisted of one share of no par value common stock, and a one-half common share purchase warrant. Each one whole warrant entitled the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.50 for a period of three years. The total aggregate purchase price for the units originally sold was $250,000, and represented the sale of 1,000,000 common shares and 500,000 warrants. The Company is reacquiring the common shares and warrants in exchange for a non-interest bearing unsecured note for $250,000 which matures in July 2014 (Note 5).

In February 2013, we completed a unit sale through a private placement transaction to certain institutional and individual accredited investors. Units were priced at $0.10 per unit, and each unit consisted of one share of no par value common stock, and a one-half common share purchase warrant. Each one whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.50 for a period of three years.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. It contains forward looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward looking statements.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, market prices for natural gas and oil, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes, estimates of proved reserves, geological, geophysical, and engineering risks and uncertainties, potential failure to achieve production from development drilling projects, capital expenditures and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in "Risk Factors", all of which are difficult to predict and which expressly qualify all subsequent oral and written forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward looking events discussed may not occur. We do not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements included in this report after the date of this report, except as required by law.

Overview

We are an oil and gas company in the business of exploring and developing oil and natural gas reserves on a worldwide basis. Since inception, we have conducted leasehold acquisition, exploration and drilling activities on our North American and international prospects. These projects consist of mineral leases and exploration permits that give us the right to explore for, develop and produce oil and natural gas. Most of these properties are in the exploration, appraisal or development drilling phase and have not begun to produce revenue from the sale of oil and natural gas.

Since 2003, substantially all of our revenue has been generated from natural gas sales derived from the Magness #1, the Fannin #1, and the Mitchell #1 wells in the Madisonville Field in East Texas under spot gas purchase contracts at market prices. Natural gas sales from the Madisonville Field are expected to account for all of our revenues for 2013, if any. We expect the majority of our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 and for 2014 will be for the Madisonville Project and will approximate $6.1 million. These capital expenditures will only be incurred if additional financing is available.

Revenue and Operating Trends

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not generate sufficient revenues to cover the plant operating expenses and lease operating expenses in our Madisonville Project. This was due to the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field due to low natural gas prices. The Company is monitoring market conditions and intends to restore its natural gas production when market conditions warrant.

Subject to capital availability, we plan to workover the Mitchell #1 well and to frac and connect via gathering line the Wilson #1 well during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and 2014. Once the above production enhancements are completed, the Company expects the combined Rodessa formation production to increase. The Company hopes to continue to realize both intermediate and long term cost and operating efficiencies generated by consolidating the upstream and midstream portions of Madisonville under common ownership. We will continue to explore other long term cost savings and efficiency measures at the natural gas treatment plant. Future plans are to expand the plant capacity from the current design capacity of 18 MMcf/d to 30 MMcf/d.

Industry Overview for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013

Fluctuations in the price for natural gas are closely associated with customer demand relative to the volumes produced and the level of inventory in underground storage. Increased production from shale gas will continue to impact natural gas pricing for the foreseeable future.

Company Overview for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013

Our net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $658,292 and $2,353,336, respectively. From our inception through mid-2003, we only received nominal revenues from our oil and natural gas activities, while incurring substantial acquisition and exploration costs and overhead expenses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit through September 30, 2013 of $52,082,949. The Company did not generate any revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field as a result of low natural gas prices.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

We had no natural gas revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. This was due to the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field as a result of low natural gas prices.

Plant operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $106,459 as compared to $95,638 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in plant operating expenses of $10,821 or 11% was primarily attributable to an increase in ad valorem taxes. When operations resume at the plant, expenses will increase from current levels.

Lease operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $32,061. Lease operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $24,177. The increase in total lifting cost of $7,884 or 33% was primarily attributable to an increase in ad valorem taxes and other lease operating costs.

General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $346,349 as compared to $443,427 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in G&A of $97,078 or 22% was primarily attributable to a decrease in share-based compensation due to expiring options.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense ("DD&A") for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,699 as compared to $82,051 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The 97% decrease was primarily attributable to reduced depreciation as a result of the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field. During the shut-in of the Madisonville facility, depreciation is suspended.

The loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $487,568 as compared to $1,265,949 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in the comparable loss from operations was primarily attributable to the impairment of oil and gas properties in 2012 and lower G&A costs in 2013.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $89,512 as compared to $77,658 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the increase in related party notes.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

We had no gross natural gas revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Gross natural gas revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $351,082. During this 2012 period, the sales of natural gas from our wells amounted to 161,377 Mcf and our average natural gas price realized was $2.18 per Mcf. The decrease in revenues was due to the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field as a result of low natural gas prices.

Plant operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $266,922 as compared to $967,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in plant operating expenses of $700,265 or 72% was primarily attributable to the suspension of plant operations as a result of the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field. Since the Company planned for an extended shut down, it was able to significantly reduce expenses. When operations resume at the plant, expenses will increase from current levels.

Lease operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $126,333. Lease operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $165,402. Our net average lifting cost for this 2012 period was $1.02 per Mcf. The decrease in total lifting cost of $39,069 or 24% was primarily attributable to the suspension of operations as a result of the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field.

General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $1,456,442 as compared to $1,405,590 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in G&A of $50,852 or 4% was primarily attributable to legal costs associated with the MCW merger.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense ("DD&A") for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $8,641 as compared to $349,029 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The 98% decrease was primarily attributable to reduced depreciation and depletion as a result of the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field. During the shut-in of the Madisonville facility, depreciation is suspended.

The loss from operations was $1,858,338 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $3,156,782 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in the comparable loss from operations was primarily attributable to lower plant operating expenses as a result of the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field and the impairment of oil and gas properties in 2012.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $257,754 as compared to $217,616 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the increase in related party notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had a working capital deficit of $7,534,898 at September 30, 2013 versus $4,200,568 at December 31, 2012. Our working capital deficit increased during nine months ended September 30, 2013 due primarily to the reclassification of debt from long term to current and increases in our trade payables. Due to the continued temporary shut-in of the Madisonville Field, the results of our operations amounted to a loss of $1,858,338 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Our cash balance at September 30, 2013 was $102,230 as compared to $59,432 at December 31, 2012. The change in our cash balance is summarized as follows:

Cash balance at December 31, 2012	$	59,432
Sources of cash:
Cash provided by financing activities		1,092,500
Total sources of cash including cash on hand		1,151,932
Uses of cash:
Cash used in operating activities		(909,855	)
Cash used in investing activities		(139,847	)
Total uses of cash		(1,049,702	)
Cash balance at September 30, 2013	$	102,230

Net cash used in operating activities of $909,855 and $1,665,222 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively are attributable to our net loss adjusted for non-cash charges as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in working capital as discussed above.

We have historically financed our business activities principally through issuances of common shares, preferred shares, promissory notes and common share purchase warrants issued in private placements. These financings are summarized as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012
Proceeds from sale of common shares	$	675,500	$	250,000
Proceeds from promissory notes		105,000		—
Proceeds from related party notes		312,000		475,000
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	1,092,500	$	725,000

The net proceeds of our equity and note financings have been primarily used to satisfy working capital requirements and invest in oil and natural gas properties and the gas treatment plant. These investments totaled $203,122 and $138,863 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to meet our working capital, and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. Additional financing is required to carry out our business plan. See "Outlook for 2013/2014 Capital" for a description of our expected capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 and for 2014. If we are unable to generate revenues necessary to finance our operations over the long-term, we may have to seek additional capital through the sale of our equity or borrowing. We periodically borrow funds through the issuance of short and long term promissory notes to finance our activities.

We hold working interests and overriding royalty interests in undeveloped leases, seismic options, lease options and foreign concessions and we have participated in seismic surveys and the drilling of test wells on undeveloped properties. We plan further leasehold acquisitions for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 and future periods. Exploratory and developmental drilling is scheduled during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and future periods on our undeveloped properties. We will need additional financing to continue our operations and our planned development activities. If additional financing is not available, we will be compelled to reduce the scope of our business activities. If we are unable to fund our operating cash flow needs and planned capital investments, it will be necessary to farm-out our interest in proposed wells, sell a portion of our interest in prospects, sell a portion of our interest in our producing oil and gas properties, sell all or a portion of our gas plant, reduce general and administrative expenses, or a combination of all of these factors. Further, we have maturing debt obligations, debt service and lease obligations that will require cash payments.

As discussed in the "Outlook for 2013/2014 Capital", we are forecasting capital expenditures of $6.3 million during the remainder of 2013 and in 2014. We will need to obtain adequate sources of cash to fund these anticipated capital expenditures, to fund ongoing operations and to follow through with our plans for continued investments in oil and gas properties. Our success, in part, depends on our ability to generate additional financing and/or farmout certain of our projects.

Contractual Obligations

We have assumed various contractual obligations and commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. We have described these obligations and commitments in our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were no material changes to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2012 except items described in "Recent Developments".

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Financial Instruments

We currently have no natural gas price financial instruments or hedges in place. Our natural gas marketing contracts use "spot" market prices. Given the uncertainty of the timing and volumes of our natural gas production this year, we do not currently plan to enter into any long term fixed-price natural gas contracts, swap or hedge positions, or other gas financial instruments in 2013.

Outlook for 2013/2014 Capital

Depending on capital availability, we are forecasting capital spending of up to approximately $6,345,000 during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and 2014, allocated as follows:

	1.	Madisonville Project, Madison County, Texas - Approximately $6,095,000 may be expended in the Madisonville Field area as follows: $650,000 for the Mitchell well workover, $1,445,000 towards the fracture stimulation and hook up costs of the Wilson well and $4,000,000 for the expansion of the gas treatment plant.

	2.	California - Approximately $100,000 to be utilized for land and permitting costs.

	3.	Canada - Approximately $150,000 to be utilized for land and permitting costs.

We may, in our discretion, decide to allocate resources towards other projects in addition to or in lieu of those listed above should other opportunities arise and as circumstances warrant. We currently do not have sufficient working capital to fund all of the capital expenditures listed above. We may, in our discretion, fund the foregoing planned expenditures from operating cash flows, asset sales, potential debt and equity issuances and/or a combination of all four. The Madisonville Project forecasted capital expenditures will play an important part in the Company achieving its 2013 and 2014 cash flow projections. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We expect commodity prices to be volatile, reflecting the current supply and demand fundamentals for North American natural gas and world crude oil. Political and economic events around the world, which are difficult to predict, will continue to influence both oil and gas prices. Significant price changes for oil and gas often lead to changes in the levels of drilling activity which in turn lead to changes in costs to explore, develop and acquire oil and gas reserves. Significant change in costs could affect the returns on our capital expenditures.

Impact of Inflation & Changing Prices

We are highly dependent upon natural gas pricing. A material decrease in current and projected natural gas prices could impair our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms. Likewise, a material decrease in current and projected natural gas prices could also impact our revenues and cash flows. This could impact our ability to fund future activities.

Changing prices have had a significant impact on costs of drilling and completing wells, particularly in the Madisonville Field area where we are currently the most active. These higher costs have impacted and will continue to impact our income from operations in the form of higher depletion expense.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We refer you to the corresponding section in Part II, Item 7 and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for the description of critical accounting policies and estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

There are a number of risks that face participants in the U.S., Canadian and international oil and natural gas industry, including a number of risks that face us in particular. Accordingly, there are risks involved in an ownership of our securities. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a description of the principal risks faced by us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks arising from fluctuating prices of crude oil, natural gas and interest rates as discussed below.

Commodity Risk. Our major commodity price risk exposure is to the prices received for our natural gas production. Realized commodity prices received for our production are the spot prices applicable to natural gas in the East Texas region. Prices received for natural gas are volatile and unpredictable and are beyond our control.

Currency Translation Risk. Because our revenues and expenses are primarily in U.S. dollars, we have little exposure to currency translation risk, and, therefore, we have no plans in the foreseeable future to implement hedges or financial instruments to manage international currency changes.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates on future debt offerings could be higher than current levels, causing our financing costs to increase accordingly. We do not currently utilize hedging contracts to protect against interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Vice President of Finance, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2013. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President of Finance, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to litigation or other legal and administrative proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. Currently, we are not involved in any legal proceedings nor are we party to any pending or threatened claims that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flow or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, referred to as our 2012 Annual Report. An investment in our securities involves various risks. When considering an investment in our company, you should consider carefully all of the risk factors described in our 2012 Annual Report. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us and there may be additional matters that we are unaware of or that we currently consider immaterial.
