Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in Exhibit 99.1 will prove to be accurate. The Company's future results are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risks that (1) the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, to continue to fund its operations, (2) the Company's product opportunities may not be successfully developed, proven to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials, may not meet applicable regulatory standards, may not receive the required regulatory approvals, or may not be produced in commercial quantities at reasonable costs or be successfully commercialized and marketed; (3) the Company may default in payments required under certain licensing agreements, thereby potentially forfeiting its rights under those agreements; (4) the Company may not develop or receive sublicenses or other rights related to proprietary technology that are patentable, one or more of the Company's pending patents may not issue, or that any issued patents may not provide the Company with any competitive advantages, or that the patents may be challenged by third parties; (5) the Company may not have the resources available to build or otherwise acquire its own marketing capabilities, or that agreements with other pharmaceutical companies to market the Company's products may not be reached on terms acceptable to the Company; (6) manufacturing and supply agreements entered into by the Company will not be adequate or that the Company will not be able to enter into future manufacturing and supply agreements on acceptable terms; (7) private health insurance and government health program reimbursement price levels may not be sufficient to provide a return to the Company on its investment in new products and technologies; (8) the failure to meet the American Stock Exchange's ("AMEX") listing guidelines may result in the Common Stock of the Company no longer being eligible for listing on the AMEX. Additional factors include the risk factors set forth in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Exhibit 99.1 is dated as of the date hereof and reflects management's views as of those dates.
