FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our business, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions.  All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, including any statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations, any projections of revenue earnings or other financial items, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, and any statement of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.  Some of these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words in the statements such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “assume,” “continue,” or variations of such words and similar expressions.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict.  We caution you that our performance and results could differ materially from what is expressed, implied, or forecast by our forward-looking statements due to general financial, economic, regulatory and political conditions affecting the energy efficiency industry as well as more specific risks and uncertainties.  Future operating results, our financial condition and the Company’s stock price may be affected by a number of factors.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, (i) our limited operating history under our current business model in a rapidly evolving market and our history of operating losses; (ii) the current economic downturn; (iii) competition; (iv) our ability to obtain surety bonds; (v) our dependence on our senior managers; and (vi) other risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Given these risks and uncertainties, any or all of these forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect.  Therefore, you should not rely on any such forward-looking statements.  Furthermore, we do not intend (and we are not obligated) to update publicly any forward-looking statements.
