Real considers these assumptions to be reasonable in the circumstances. However, forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information.

The preliminary results set forth above are based on an initial review of Real's operating and financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and are subject to change. Final reported results could differ from these preliminary results following the completion of year-end accounting procedures, final adjustments and other developments arising between now and the time that Real's financial results are finalized, and such changes could be material. Real's independent auditor, Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co. (A Firm in the Deloitte Global Network), has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial results and other data, and accordingly does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
