Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Reporting Limitations
- Non-GAAP Basis: The referenced Monthly Operating Report is not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

- Audit Status: The data was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants.
- Comparability: The report covers a limited time period and format prescribed by bankruptcy laws, making it potentially non-comparable to standard periodic filings.

Risks and Contingencies:
- The information is subject to future revision, adjustment, and reconciliation.
