CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides a
"safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Certain statements contained in
the exhibit to this Report, and in any other written or oral statements made by
or on behalf of the Registrant, such as statements concerning the continuation
of high levels of power generation and low interest rates, the possible
development of business strategies and realization of value from resulting
business opportunities, the ability of Microgy's licensed technology to reduce
air and water contaminants from waste streams and improve the profitability of
farmers, the increasing support of numerous state and federal initiatives and
EPC's position to realize value from these emerging segments of the agriculture
and power generation industries, the validity and vitality of pursuing EPC's new
business before defining and shaping its larger business strategy, the benefits
of quickly financing and constructing a meaningful number of digestor/generator
facilities in key markets, and other statements regarding matters that are not
historical facts, are forward looking statements as such term is defined in the
Act. Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results
may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
include, but are not limited to, uncertainties involving development stage
companies, financing requirements and uncertainties, difficulties involved in
executing on a business plan, risks relating to managing and integrating
acquired businesses, the inability to predict the course or outcome of any
contract or other negotiations, uncertainties relating to government and
regulatory policies and approvals, volatile and unpredictable developments
(including plant outages and repair requirements), the difficulty of estimating
repair and maintenance costs and timeframes, the uncertainties involved in
estimating insurance and implied warranty recoveries, if any, the uncertainties
relating to general economic conditions and cyclical industry conditions, the
amount and rate of growth in expenses, the legal environment, and the
competitive environment in which the Registrant operates. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of their dates. The Registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
