All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation regarding our strategy, future operations, projections, conclusions, forecasts, fiscal year 2015 guidance and other statements are “forward-looking statements“. While these forward-looking statements represent our best current judgment, actual results could differ materially from the conclusions, forecasts or projections contained in the forward-looking information. Certain material factors or assumptions were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection in the forward-looking information contained herein. Such factors include our ability to satisfy conditions to the final tranche of our ongoing preferred share financing transaction on the proposed terms and timeframe; the possibility that the transaction does not close when expected, or at all; the ability to realize the expected reduction of debt and interest expense from the transaction in the amounts or in the timeframe expected; competition in the markets we serve, our ability to secure and retain long-term support contracts, our ability to maintain standards of acceptable safety performance, political, economical, and regulatory uncertainty, problems with our non-wholly owned entities, including potential conflicts with the other owners of such entities, exposure to credit risks, ability to continue funding our working capital requirements, risks inherent in the operation of helicopters, unanticipated costs or cost increases associated with our business operations, exchange rate fluctuations, trade industry exposure, inflation, inability to obtain or maintain government issued licenses or related approvals, inability to obtain or maintain necessary aircraft or insurance, loss of key personnel, work stoppages due to labor disputes, and future material acquisitions or dispositions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. The Company disclaims any intentions or obligations to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We make certain statements in this presentation that include references to “non-GAAP financial measures,” as defined by SEC regulations.
