A more complete description of these risks and uncertainties can be found in the filings of the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are made as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
While certain financial projections for Resorts World Catskills included in this presentation were prepared in good faith and based on information available at the time of preparation, no assurance can be made regarding future events occurring after the date they were prepared. The estimates and assumptions underlying the unaudited financial projections involve judgments with respect to, among other things, win per slot/table per day, patronage, complimentaries, utilization of available net operating losses, no change to existing tax laws, inability to use tax benefits, delays or cost overruns in the construction of Resorts World Catskills or the Destination Resort or future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions or projected results will be realized, and actual results will likely differ, and may differ materially, from those reflected in the unaudited financial projections. As a result, the unaudited financial projections cannot necessarily be considered predictive of actual future operating results, and this information should not be relied on as such.
By including in this presentation certain unaudited financial projections regarding Resorts World Catskills, neither the Company nor any of its advisors or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Resorts World Catskills compared to the information contained in the financial projections or to any of the Development Projects. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or otherwise revise the unaudited financial projections contained in this presentation to reflect circumstances existing since their preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error.
