Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release, other than historical information, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include and are not limited to statements regarding: (i) our preliminary revenue estimate for fiscal 2022; (ii) our ability to successfully manufacture and commercialize the G4 in accordance with our timelines, objectives and specifications; (iii) the market opportunities for our product offerings; and (iv) the ability of our product offerings to successfully compete with existing and new products offered by our competitors. Any such forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual future results to differ materially from our management’s current expectations or those implied by our forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include and are not limited to the following: (i) our preliminary revenue estimate for fiscal 2022 is subject to material changes and adjustments as we complete our financial closing procedures and our financial statements are reviewed by our outside auditors; (ii) we have incurred significant losses since inception, we expect to incur significant losses in the future and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to to support our business plans and future operations; (iii) we have very little history manufacturing and commercializing our products or technology; (iv) the life sciences technology market is highly competitive, and if we fail to compete effectively, our business and operating results will suffer; (v) if we are sued for infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating intellectual property rights of third parties, such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could prevent or delay us from developing or commercializing our products; (vi) if our products fail to achieve early customer and scientific acceptance, we may not be able to achieve broader market acceptance for our products, and our revenues and prospects may be harmed; (vii) we expect to be highly dependent upon revenue generated from the sale of the G4 and planned PX, and any delay or failure by us to successfully manufacture and commercialize the G4 and planned PX could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and results of operations; and (viii) the COVID-19 pandemic and recent macroeconomic conditions have adversely impacted, and may continue to materially and adversely impact, our business, operations and product manufacturing and commercialization objectives. These and other risk factors that may affect our future results of operations are identified and described in more detail in our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on November 7, 2022.
