In addition to its equity interest, the Registrant has appeared as a creditor of Lani in the bankruptcy proceedings and intends to pursue its rights as a creditor. The Registrant has not yet evaluated the impact of the bankruptcy on the Registrant’s financial statements and any charges that may result from the bankruptcy.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These include statements about The Registrant’s expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “believe,” “projects,” “could,” “would,” “intend” and similar expressions. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The forward-looking statements reflect The Registrant’s current view about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The Registrant may not actually achieve the expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: risks related to bankruptcy and other proceedings, and the impact of such proceedings and any related events; along with other risks and potential factors that could affect the Registrant's business and financial results identified in the Registrant's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
