In particular, all Sharon projected financial information included herein is preliminary and subject to risks and uncertainties . Any variation between Sharon’s actual results and the projected financial information included herein may be material . This Presentation also contains non - GAAP financial measures and key metrics relating to the combined company’s projected future performance . A reconciliation of these non - GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward - looking basis is not available because the various reconciling items are difficult to predict and subject to constant change .

Any financial projections in this Presentation are forward - looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Sharon’s and ROTH CH’s control . While all projections are necessarily speculative, Sharon and ROTH CH believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation . The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections . The inclusion of projections in this Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that Sharon and ROTH CH, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events . Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results .
