From time to time we make written or verbal statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including, but not limited to, statements relating to:

In addition, forward-looking statements may include statements regarding our future plans or objectives or or the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, and other statements that are not recitations of historical fact. Generally, we use words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “likely”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “project”, “estimate” and similar expressions (or negative connotations thereof) to suggest future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking information in this website and related presentations/discussions are presented for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Any such forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us, and are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.  If the factors or assumptions are untrue, it could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the demand for products, anticipated costs and ability to achieve goals.  Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility, competition, and loss of key employees. Although the Company believes its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions and has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, including, without limitation:

• the potential for a deterioration of economic conditions or an extended period of economic uncertainty;
