This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws that relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “can,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Examples of these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:

• our ability to protect our intellectual property portfolio and rights;  
• our ability to identify and develop new potential products;  
• the attributes of any products we may develop; and

These statements are only predictions. Risks and uncertainties and the occurrence of other events could cause actual results to differ materially from these predictions. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this report are set forth in this report, including the factors described in the section entitled “Item 1A – Risk Factors.”

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements.  Other than as required by applicable law, we disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments.
