The Registrant is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Form 10-K Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2016 because the Registrant continues to assess the impact of certain tax issues identified in connection with the sale of its Construction Claims Group, the closing of which is currently expected to occur on March 31, 2017, the outcome of which could have a material effect on the Registrant’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.  It is anticipated that the Annual Report on Form 10-K, along with the annual financial statements, will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date of the Registrant’s Form 10-K.

 

Certain statements contained herein may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and it is the Registrant’s intent that any such statements be protected by the safe harbor created thereby.  Except for historical information, the matters set forth herein including, but not limited to, any projections of revenues, earnings or other financial items; any statements concerning the Registrant’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operations; and any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, are forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on the Registrant’s current expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  Although the Registrant believes that the expectations, estimates and assumptions reflected in the Registrant’s forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of the Registrant’s forward-looking statements.  Important factors that could cause the Registrant’s actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the Registrant’s forward-looking statements are set forth in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in the reports the Registrant have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including that unfavorable global economic conditions may adversely impact the Registrant’s business, the Registrant’s backlog may not be fully realized as revenue, the Registrant’s expenses may be higher than anticipated and the closing of the sale of the Registrant’s Construction Claims Group may be delayed or cancelled.  The Registrant does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.
