All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward - looking statements. These forward - looking statements may also include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of our proposed products and any potential future financial results and are based on the Company's current expectations, projections and forecasts about future events and trends that the Company believes may affect its business, financial condition, operating results and growth prospects. We often identify forward - looking statements by accompanying them with words such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "potential," "plan," "goal," "foresee," "likely," "target," "may," "should," "could," or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. The results expected by some or all of these forward - looking statements may not occur. Factors that may affect the potential events described in forward - looking statements and our ability to achieve these results include our ability to select, negotiate and close any acquisition targets, the sufficiency of our cash resources and future stock price, our ability to enhance our existing products, develop new products and create new services for our customers and future customers, competition we face and the possibility that competitors develop and market more effective and/or less expensive alternatives to our products, our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory clearance for our products, private and government spending trends and initiatives which may among other things be adversely impacted by economic challenges such as a possible U.S. or global recession and potential adverse developments in government spending on our products and related technologies, the possibility that projections and forecasts on which we rely are not accurate or too optimistic and the risk factors contained in our final Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 25, 2024. These forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation was prepared and we disclaim any obligation to update these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other risks, contingencies, and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control.
