Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 24, 2016, Payment Data Systems, Inc. issued a press release announcing financial results for its fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1. The information furnished therein shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section.
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express the Company’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements related to its future activities or future events or conditions. The words “continue,” “will,” “bring,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “expand,” “should,” “likely,” and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performances and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that it files from time to time with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date as of which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including unanticipated events, after the date as of which such statement was made.
