Forward
Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K and other reports filed by Earth Search Sciences,
Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain forward looking statements and
information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available
to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the
Company’s management. When used in the Filings the words
“anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the
negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or
the Company’s management identify forward looking statements. Such
statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events
and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating
to the Company’s industry, operations and results of operations and any
businesses that may be acquired by the Company. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking
statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law,
including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend
to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to
actual results.
