 This Presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to our business, operations and financial conditions, including but not limited to current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, results of clinical trials and other future conditions. Words such as, but not limited to, "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "potential", "predict", "project", "should", "will", "would" or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements reflect management's beliefs and views with respect to future events and are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date of this Presentation and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the impact of all factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company qualifies all of the forward-looking statements in this Presentation by these cautionary statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Statements contained herein are made as of the date of this Presentation unless stated otherwise, and neither this Presentation, nor any sale of securities, shall under any circumstances create an implication that the information contained herein is correct as of any time after such date or that the information will be updated or revisited to reflect information that subsequently becomes available or changes occurring after that date hereof.  Certain information contained in this Presentation relates to or is based on statistical and other industry and market data obtained from independent industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by independent third parties as well as the Company's own estimates. The market data used in this Presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such data. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. The Company's estimates of the total addressable market of the patient population with the potential to benefit from treatment with any products and product candidates the Company may develop, our ability to commercialize our products and product candidates, or the effect of delays in commercializing include several key assumptions based on its industry knowledge, industry publications and third-party research, which may be based on a small sample size and may fail to accurately reflect the addressable patient population. While the Company believes that its internal assumptions are reasonable, no independent source has verified such assumptions.  This Presentation contains trademarks, trade names, or service marks belonging to other entities. The Company does not intend the use or display of other parties' trade names, trademarks or service marks to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of, or by these other parties.  NASDAQ: FEMY  2  Forward Looking Statements
