CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, any projections of revenue, gross profit, earnings or loss, tax provisions, cash flows or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies or objectives of management for future operations; any statements regarding current or future macroeconomic or industry-specific trends or events and the impact of those trends and events on us or our financial performance; any statements regarding pending investigations, legal claims or tax disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, performance, prospects, opportunities, achievements or industry results, as well as those of the markets we serve or intend to serve, to differ materially from those expressed in, or suggested by, these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions regarding our present and future business strategies and the environment in which we operate.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this annual report on Form 10-K should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Important factors that could cause those differences include, but are not limited to:
| ● | our future financial performance, including our expectations regarding our net revenue, operating expenses, and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability; |
| ● | our business plan and our ability to effectively manage our overall operations and growth, particularly in respect of our partner companies; |
| ● | our ability to anticipate trends, growth rates, and challenges in our securities brokerage and related businesses as broker dealer regulation evolves; |
| ● | our ability to evaluate potential partner companies and assess their potential growth and the challenges of their business; |
| ● | our ability to evaluate the product and service development of the partner companies, product and service acceptance of the partner companies, and the inherent uncertainty of their product and service development and commercialization; |
| ● | how our partner companies are able to be financed and our ability to provide shareholder value to our holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares; |
| ● | our ability to realize upon the value created by our partner companies by the distribution or sale of the securities we own of them; |
| ● | regulatory, legislative and judicial developments that impact our businesses and those of the partner companies and our ability to stay in compliance with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business and those of the partner companies; |
| ● | the ability of our partner companies to protect their respective intellectual property; |
| ● | our relationships with our clients and service providers; |
| ● | our ability to identify, complete and integrate potential strategic acquisitions of complementary companies, products, services, or technologies and our ability to successfully integrate such companies or assets into our overall structure; |
| ● | general economic conditions and trends and their impact on businesses of the group companies; |
| ● | increased expenses associated with being a public company; |
| ● | our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; |
| ● | our ability to raise equity and debt capital to fund our operations and growth strategy, including possible developmental businesses and acquisitions; and |
| ● | future revenue being lower than expected. |
These above factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with the other cautionary statements in this annual report.
