Section 8. Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 28, 2014, the Debtors filed its monthly operating report with the Bankruptcy Court for the reporting period of June 19, 2014 through June 30, 2014. Pertinent financial information from the June 2014 monthly operating report is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

The monthly operating report contains unaudited financial information which has not been reviewed by independent accountants, is limited to the Debtors and is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws. The financial information related to the Debtors included in the monthly operating report has been prepared to conform with specific instructions from the U.S. Trustee and is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or SEC regulations applicable to financial statements contained in periodic reports filed with the SEC. Preparation of the Debtor’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP could result in material reconciliations and adjustments to certain financial information presented in the monthly operating reports.

The monthly operating report also contains information for periods that are different from those contained in the reports the Company has filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Such information also may not be indicative of the financial condition or operating results of the Debtors for the periods reflected in the Debtors’ financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, or of future results. The financial information in the monthly operating report is not presented on a consolidated basis and does not present the consolidated results of the Debtors. Accordingly, the financial statements in the monthly operating reports cannot be compared with the consolidated financial condition and results of operations that the Company has reported in its Exchange Act filings.
