The actual future results of Urigen could differ significantly from those statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include risks and uncertainties such as the inability to finance the company's operations or expansion, inability to hire and retain qualified personnel, changes in the general economic climate, including rising interest rate and unanticipated events such as terrorist activities. As with any new pharmaceutical product, there are significant risks in development, regulatory approval and commercialization of Urigen’s products. There are no guarantees that future clinical studies will confirm the preliminary results discussed in this document or that URG101, URG201 or URG301or any other Urigen product will receive regulatory approval for any medical condition. Further, even if Urigen were to receive regulatory approval for a product, there can be no assurance that such a product would prove to be commercially successful. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company, or any other person, that such forward-looking statements will be achieved. We undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
