On February 3, 2016,
the registrant issued a press release disclosing, among other things, its unaudited preliminary financial results for 2015 and
a comparison thereof to its actual 2014 financial results. On the same date, the registrant (i) filed with the SEC a Form 6-K attaching
as an exhibit the related press release and (ii) an held an investor conference call to discuss the press release and related business
developments. The financial results to be reflected in the 2015 Form 20-F are expected to be generally consistent with the registrant’s
previously announced unaudited, preliminary results. As previously disclosed, the registrant expects a significant decline in 2015
net revenue and gross profits in comparison to 2014 and a continued and significant net loss for 2015. The registrant’s 2015
financial results reflect, among other things, the impact of a prior dispute between two groups of our shareholders as to the management
and direction of our company, a related management change in May 2015 and ongoing efforts to restructure our business, cut costs
and generate cash flow from the sale of non-core assets and investments.
