In formulating the forward-looking statements contained herein,
management has assumed that business and economic conditions

to commercialize its drug candidates, that such approvals will be
received on a timely basis, and that Delivra will be able to find
suitable partners for development and commercialization of its

ability of the Company to maintain existing product sales with
current customers at existing product pricing and expenses;
uncertainties associated with obtaining regulatory approval to
perform clinical trials and market products; the need to establish
additional corporate collaborations, distribution or licensing
arrangements; the ability of the Company to generate sales and
profits; the Company's ability to raise additional capital if and
when necessary; intellectual property disputes; increased
