These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements, written, oral or otherwise made, represent the Company’s expectation or belief concerning future events. All forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. By nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by the forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and currently available data and are neither predictions nor guarantees of future events or performance. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events, circumstances, or aspirations to differ from those in forward-looking statements are described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” included in our final prospectus filed on July 25, 2014, or other applicable documents that are filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We do not undertake to update any forward- looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that we may make in any subsequent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K, or other applicable document that is filed or furnished with the SEC. The unaudited estimates and statements included herein are the opinion of management and represent estimates and expectations based on the most current information available. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for our fourth quarter are finalized. This preliminary financial data has been prepared by and is the responsibility of management. Our independent registered public accounting firm, McGladrey LLP, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial data. Accordingly, McGladrey LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. As a result of the foregoing considerations and limitations, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this projected financial information.
