The company cautions that these statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the uncertainty of research and development success, the company’s status as a research and development stage company with a history of financial losses, the non-exclusive nature of partnerships, the ability to secure government contracts, and delays or difficulties in financing or operating facilities.
