- Limitations: The financial information is unaudited, limited in scope, and was prepared solely to comply with bankruptcy court requirements, not for investment decision-making.
- Accounting Standards: The data has not been subject to procedures typically applied to financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
- Forward-Looking Reliability: Results of operations in the report are not necessarily indicative of future performance or the full year. The report may be subject to revision, and the Company does not undertake an obligation to update it.
- Legal Status: The information is furnished under Regulation FD and is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor is it incorporated by reference into other filings except by specific reference.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Assess the limitations of the unaudited data provided in the Monthly Operating Report before making investment decisions.
- Monitor for subsequent filings that may update or revise the January 2019 operating data.
