This Presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of this Act, statements contained herein that look forward in time that include everything other than historical information, involve risks and uncertainties that may affect the company’s actual results. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Annualized Sales, Annualized Revenue, and Projected Fiscal Year 2021 EBITDA. These statements are based on various estimates and assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation, however, no assurance can be given that any such estimates or valuations will ultimately be realized or that realizations will occur within the timeframes on which these estimates are made. Forward-looking information is inherently subjective and uncertain, and is not necessarily indicative of the future performance, nor is it a guaranty that such results will be attained. Forward-looking information is based on the assessment of various valuation and operating parameters, but actual future performance and market conditions are volatile and unpredictable. Live Ventures may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, in its annual report to stockholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and there are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the company, including, but not limited to, plans and objectives of management for future operations or products, the market acceptance or future success of our products, and our future financial performance. The company cautions that these forward-looking statements are further qualified by other factors including, but not limited to, those set forth in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2019 (available at http://www.sec.gov).
