A variety of factors, including known and unknown risks, many of which are beyond our control, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information in this news release. Such factors include, without limitation:the inability of the Company to obtain regulatory approvals to complete the transaction with SSC and to fulfill all closing conditions set out in the share purchase agreement with SSC, the Company’s inability to develop successful marketing campaigns for Mikra’s products, the risk that the expected demand for nutraceutical products in general and those of Mikra in particular does not develop as anticipated and risks relating to the Company’s ability to execute its business strategy and the benefits realizable therefrom.
