Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Site may contain statements, estimates or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined under applicable securities laws.

In particular, this Site’s forward-looking information concerning: EquityLine’s use of proceeds, payment and of dividends, stability and rate of return on investment, the nature of EquityLine’s mortgage investments, By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and various future events will not occur.
