FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-K report contains “forward-looking statements”. Those statements appear in a number of places in this Form 10-K report and include, without limitation, statements regarding the intent, belief and current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers, with respect to: Company’s future business and financial prospects and ability to sustain operations; the development and commercialization of new products; the Company’s policies regarding investments, dispositions, financings, conflicts of interest and other matters; and trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Forward looking statements include words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “hope,” “project,” “may,” “should,” “could,” or similar words or variants thereof. Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and involves several risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those results implied in the forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, some factors being beyond the Company’s control or ability to foresee. Among the factors that could cause plans, actions and results to differ materially from current expectations are, without limitation: disruption from natural or human causes, including severe weather, accidents, fires, earthquakes, terrorist acts and epidemic or pandemic diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The accompanying information contained in this Form 10-K report, including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and “Risk Factors” identifies other important factors that could cause such differences. With respect to any forward-looking statement that includes a statement of its underlying assumptions or bases, the Company cautions that, while it believes such assumptions or bases to be reasonable and has formed them in good faith, assumed facts or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be significant or “material” depending on the circumstances. When, in any forward-looking statement, the Company, or its management, expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, that expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the stated expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. Further, the Company is a “penny stock” company with no primary market makers and limited trading activity. Such a status makes highly risky any investment in the Company securities. See “Risk Factors” below. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K report are made as of the date hereof, and, unless required by law or regulation, we do not assume any obligation to update, amend or clarify them to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
You should read this Form 10-K report and the documents that we may reference in this Form 10-K report and have filed with the SEC, with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.
