unfavorable decision, ruling or finding which would materially adversely
affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular, or
which might result in any material adverse change in the properties,
condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Company.
(e) Subject to the proviso that the Offering Circular is a summary
