PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements included in this document constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Portions of this document and other materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain statements that are forward-looking, such as statements relating to the anticipated liquidation of Vie Financial Group, Inc. and the expectation that Vie Financial Group, Inc. will have funds remaining to distribute to its stockholders. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others:

 

  our ability to settle our remaining obligations with creditors;

 

  the timing and related expenses of completing the Plan of Liquidation;

 

  the determination of the amount of funds that the Company must hold back for liabilities in anticipation of the liquidation and wind-up of its business in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation;

 

  other risk factors referred to in this Form 10-Q under the heading “Additional Factors That May Affect Future Results”.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or other forms of or the negative of those terms or other comparable terms.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements. We do not have a duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this filing.
