The data included in this report has been extracted from information supplied to us during discussions with project representatives and various other primary and secondary sources. We have utilized sources that are deemed to be reliable but cannot guarantee their accuracy. Moreover, estimates and analyses regarding the project are based on trends and assumptions and, therefore, there will usually be differences between the projected and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. We have enjoyed working on this project and our relationship with the project team.
