Forward-Looking Statement

Certain statements in the BMG Site are “forward-looking statements” which reflect BMG’s expectations regarding future growth, supply and demand of assets, any appreciation in the value of assets, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. Wherever possible, words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “aim”, “endeavour” and similar expressions have been used to identify these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect BMG’s current beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to BMG. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. A number of factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements including, without limitation, those risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere on the BMG Site. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the BMG Site. These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained on this website are based upon what BMG currently believes to be reasonable assumptions, BMG cannot assure prospective investors that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of inclusion on the BMG Site, and BMG does not intend, and BMG does not assume any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.
