Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains statements which include the timing of closing the second private placement and the anticipated use of proceeds from the first and second private placement.  The forward-looking statements are based on certain expectations and assumptions made by the Company. Although the Company believes that those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. In addition to other risks, the closing of the second private placement could be delayed based on delays in the receipt of subscriptions and the logistics of closing. The intended use of the net proceeds of the two private placements by the Company might change if the Company determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company to use the proceeds for some other purpose.  The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof.  The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities laws.
