The registrant may conduct its business in a manner different from that set forth in the assumptions, as changing circumstances may require. Actual results of operations are likely to vary from the projections and the variations may be material and adverse. The projections should not be regarded as a representation or prediction that the registrant will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular results. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no assurance can be given as to whether or when the registrant will receive regulatory approval for any of the registrant’s product candidates.
