FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations, speak only as of the date hereof, are subject to change and include statements about, among other things: the status, progress and results of our clinical programs; our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for or successfully commercialize any of our product candidates; our business plans, strategies and objectives, including plans to pursue collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements or transactions; our expectations regarding our liquidity and performance, including our expense levels, sources of capital and ability to maintain our operations; the competitive landscape of our industry; and general market, economic and political conditions.
Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as those statements containing the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “might,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar expressions. You should not rely on our forward-looking statements as they are not a guarantee of future performance. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate because the matters they describe are subject to assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are discussed in this report in the Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in this report. Risks and uncertainties include, among others:
| ● | our ability to obtain funding for our operations; |
| ● | our estimates regarding our expenses, revenues, anticipated capital requirements and our needs for additional financing; |
| ● | the timing of the commencement, progress and receipt of data from any of our preclinical and clinical trials; |
| ● | the expected results of any preclinical or clinical trial and the impact on the likelihood or timing of any regulatory approval; |
| ● | the therapeutic benefits, effectiveness and safety of our product candidates; |
| ● | the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals; |
| ● | changes in our strategy or development plans; |
| ● | the volatility of our common share price; |
| ● | the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of any future products; |
| ● | the effect of competition; |
| ● | our ability to protect our intellectual property as well as comply with the terms of license agreements with third parties; |
| ● | our ability to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq; |
| ● | our ability to identify, develop and commercialize additional products or product candidates; |
| ● | reliance on key personnel; and |
| ● | general changes in economic or business conditions. |
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. You should review the factors and risks and other information we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC.
