Caution Regarding the Monthly Operating Report and the Monitor’s Report

The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report or the Monitor’s Report, neither of which has been prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. Both the Monthly Operating Report and the Monitor’s Report are limited in scope, cover a limited time period and have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court, in the case of the Monthly Operating Report, and the CCAA Court, in the case of the Monitor’s Report. In each case, the Monthly Operating Report and the Monitor’s Report have not been audited or reviewed by independent accountants nor approved by the audit committee or the board of directors of the Company, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report or the financial information in the Monitor’s Report is complete. Trading in the Company’s securities during the bankruptcy proceedings is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. The Company’s shareholders should not view the trading activity of its common shares on the OTC marketplace or any other market or trading platform as being indicative of the recovery (if any) that the Company’s shareholders may receive in the bankruptcy proceedings. The Monthly Operating Report and the Monitor’s Report also contain information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to applicable securities laws, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to applicable securities laws. Information set forth in the Monthly Operating Report and

 

the Monitor’s Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results nor should such information be viewed as indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements from any other period or that may be expected if the bankruptcy proceedings and related transactions are consummated.
