This presentation may contain forward - looking statements within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended . Such forward - looking statements are characterized by future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words . You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward - looking information . Such statements are only predictions and our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward - looking statements . We believe that it is important to communicate future expectations to investors . However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control . Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Risk Factors in our registration statement and other filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the uncertainties associated with our lack of profitability, our continued capital needs, our lack of a long operating history, our growth strategy, the COVID - 19 pandemic and its continued impact on the business, our technology development plans, and the regulatory environment in which we operate . We do not assume any obligation to update forward - looking statements as circumstances change . Certain market data information in this presentation is based on management's estimates . We obtained the industry, market and competitive position data used throughout this presentation from internal estimates and research as well as from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties . We believe our estimates to be accurate as of the date of this presentation . However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which we obtained some of the data for our estimates or because this information cannot always be verified due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, and the nature of the data gathering process . You may access our SEC filings by visiting SEC’s website at http : //www . sec . gov . This presentation does not constitute an offer or invitation for the sale or purchase of securities or to engage in any other transaction with us or our affiliates .
