Each of these statements is based only on current information, estimates and expectations that are inherently subject to change and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our product development efforts, in particular with respect to the clinical trial results and regulatory approval of TPI 287; the initiation, completion or success of preclinical studies and clinical trials; clinical trial initiation and completion dates, anticipated regulatory filing dates and regulatory approval for our product candidates; completion of our proposed public financing; our intentions to expand our capabilities and hire additional employees; anticipated operating losses, future revenues, research and development expenses, and the need for additional financing; our use of proceeds from this offering; and our financial performance. Any statement in this presentation that is not a statement of historical fact should be considered a forward-looking statement. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “potential” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements.
