IMPORTANT NOTICE

Pro-forma results

Results contained in this presentation are partly based on unaudited pro-forma financial results that the Company derived from its preliminary and past financial statements for the indicated periods in order to make these periods comparable and show non-recurring costs.

Cautionary note regarding preliminary results and pro-forma financial results

This presentation contains preliminary results and pro-forma results. The preliminary results may change during their final review. While the Company believes that its pro-forma financial results are reflective of its recurrent trends and the on-going status of its business, there can be no assurance that its pro-forma results will accurately reflect these trends and status and therefore, its investors are urged not to rely solely upon the pro-forma results when making their investing decision and the pro-forma results should always be reviewed together with its actual financial results.
