Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements

 

THIS CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K INCLUDES FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.  THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED UPON THE COMPANY’S PRESENT INTENT, BELIEFS, EXPECTATIONS, AND INFORMATION, BUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR.  ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS.  FOR EXAMPLE:

 

·                  THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE COMPANY’S LENDERS HAVE NOW WAIVED, UNTIL JUNE 30, 2014, AND JULY 31, 2014, RESPECTIVELY, THE COMPANY’S REQUIREMENTS UNDER ITS CREDIT FACILITY TO FURNISH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND AS OF AND FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2014.  AN IMPLICATION OF THIS STATEMENT IS THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE ITS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013, WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR THE SEC, ON OR BEFORE JUNE 30, 2014, THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE ITS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2014, WITH THE SEC ON OR BEFORE JULY 31, 2014, AND THE COMPANY WILL REGAIN COMPLIANCE WITH NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING STANDARDS ON OR BEFORE JULY 31, 2014, OR THAT EXTENDED OR ADDITIONAL WAIVERS WILL BE OBTAINED IF NECESSARY.  HOWEVER, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO FILE THE FORM 10-K OR THE FORM 10-Q OR OTHERWISE COMPLETE AND DELIVER ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BY THOSE DATES OR THAT EXTENDED OR ADDITIONAL WAIVERS WILL BE OBTAINED.  THESE OUTCOMES COULD OCCUR FOR REASONS WHICH MAY BE UNKNOWN TO THE COMPANY AT THIS TIME AND MAY BE BEYOND THE COMPANY’S CONTROL.  ALSO, FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND DELIVER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR FILE THE FORM 10-K OR THE FORM 10-Q WITHIN DIFFERENT SPECIFIED PERIODS COULD GIVE RISE TO DEFAULTS UNDER THE COMPANY’S INDENTURE GOVERNING ITS 8.25% SENIOR NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
