2 2 This presentation contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current expectation regarding future events. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual events could differ materially from those projected herein and depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, changing market conditions, successful and timely completion of clinical studies, uncertainties related to the regulatory approval process, establishment of corporate alliances and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings. Such statements are also based on various assumptions, including the successful and timely completion of clinical studies on Ambrilia’s products demonstrating efficacy and safety for human use, their successful commercialization within the forecasted timelines and the attainment of the forecasted milestone payments and other revenues. While Ambrilia anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause Ambrilia’s views to change, Ambrilia specifically disclaims any obligation to update these forward ‑ looking statements, unless obligated to do so by applicable securities laws.
