Cautionary Note Regarding Monthly Operating Report

Hancock 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 Hancock. 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 applicable in the Chapter 11 Cases. Hancock is not required to publicly update the Monthly Operating Report to reflect more current facts or estimates or the occurrence of future events, including if the facts, estimates and assumptions upon which the Monthly Operating Report is based are erroneous. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent public accountants, does not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in Hancock’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in Hancock’s reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and such information might not be indicative of Hancock’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in Hancock’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
