All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made by the Company or its subsidiaries are predictions and not guarantees of future performance, involve material risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on factors that are difficult to predict and that may be beyond the control of the Company or its subsidiaries. Such factors include, but are not limited to: those described under the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in the Company’s past filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; the risk that the Company and its subsidiaries may not be able to successfully execute any strategic steps, including for reasons outside of the control of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Chapter 11 Trustee; risks and uncertainties relating to the bankruptcy filings by the Company and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to, (i) the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 cases including the Company’s subsidiaries maintaining strategic control as debtors-in-possession, (ii) the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to prosecute, develop and consummate a plan of reorganization, (iii) the effects of the bankruptcy filings on the Company, its subsidiaries and on the interests of various constituents, (iv) Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 cases as well the outcome of all other pending litigation and the outcome of the Bankruptcy case in general, (v) the length of time the Company and its subsidiaries will operate under the Chapter 11 protection, (vi) risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 cases, which may interfere with the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to develop and consummate a plan of reorganization, (vii) the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 proceedings on the liquidity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, (viii) the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 proceedings on regulatory and licensing agencies of our primary operating subsidiary, Life Partners, Inc., and (ix) increased legal costs to execute the reorganization of the Company and its subsidiaries, and other risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks.

Accordingly, the future performance and financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries may differ materially and/or adversely from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements.
