Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data and/or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them.

FREIT expressly disclaims any responsibility to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
