Forward-looking Statement Disclaimer

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the term set forth in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These statements are related to the pending
refinancing of the Company’s current lending agreement and reflect our
current views of future events and financial performance and are subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results, performance
or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in
the forward-looking statements. In particular, we have not yet finalized
the terms of the anticipated new credit facility. If we do not
successfully refinance our existing debt and generate sufficient cash
resources to continue funding our operations, our business, financial
condition, and ability to continue as a going concern would be
materially and adversely impacted. In addition, we expect the new credit
facility to contain limitations and covenants that constrain our ability
to borrow additional money and which place restrictions on our business,
which may impair our ability to fully implement elements of our business
strategy. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ from what is anticipated include, but are not limited
to, continued delays in the completion of the audited 2016 financial
statements and certain periodic reports, decreased demand for our
products and services, loss of any of our major customers or termination
of our relationship with key vendors, whether pursuant to the loss of
pending or future bids for either new business or an extension of
existing business or customer or contractor bankruptcy, our inability to
sell assets and make acquisitions, volatility of our stock price,
deterioration or uncertainty of credit markets, and the banking
environment or monetary policy.

Other important factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are
discussed in our filings with the SEC, including the section of our
previously-filed 2015 Annual Report on 10-K titled “Risk Factors.” Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this press
release. Except as may be required by applicable law, we undertake no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and
we caution you not to rely upon them unduly.
