Risks and Contingencies:
- Uncertainty of Outcome: The Company cannot guarantee a specific outcome or timeline for the sale.
- Forward-Looking Statements: Actual results may differ materially from expectations due to risks outlined in recent 10-K or 10-Q filings, including market forecasts and order timing.
