Forward-looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements, which provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "plan", "project", "forecast" or "intend" or future or conditional words such as "may", "will", "should", "would" or "could"; however, the absence of such words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements are based upon certain material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection as reflected in the forward-looking statements, including our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of material factors, including, the impact of general economic conditions on future operations and business plans, changes in product development plans and timing, delays in receipt of regulatory approvals for our products, the level of our costs and operating expenses relative to our revenues, our future capital requirements and the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents, investments and other sources of funds, including financing from external sources, to meet these requirements, the outcome of contingencies, such as litigation, and other factors described in the "Risk Factors" section of our most recent annual information form, particularly those under the heading "Dependence on Additional Financing/Need for Additional Financing". You should carefully consider the factors described above and in that "Risk Factors" section in evaluating our forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligations to update publicly any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date such statement was made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we file from time to time with the applicable Canadian securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities.
