Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and federal securities laws. For example, the Company is using forward-looking statements when it discusses the expected release of topline data from its Phase IV clinical trial. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, the possibility that the Company will not be able to successfully operate its joint venture with Cannabics Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; the Company’s needs for additional financing; the Company’s dependence on a single compound, LO2A and on the continuation of its license to commercialize LO2A; the Company’s inability to expand its rights under its license of LO2A; the initiation, timing, progress and results of the Company’s trials and product candidate development efforts; the Company’s ability to advance LO2A into clinical trials or to successfully complete its preclinical studies or clinical trials; the Company’s receipt of regulatory approvals for LO2A, and the timing of other regulatory filings and approvals; the clinical development, commercialization and market acceptance of LO2A; the Company’s ability to establish and maintain corporate collaborations; the implementation of its business model and strategic plans for its business and product candidates; the scope of protection the Company is able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering LO2A and its ability to operate its business without infringing the intellectual property rights of others; estimates of the Company’s expenses, future revenues, and capital requirements; competitive companies, technologies and its industry; and statements as to the impact of the political and security situation in Israel on the Company’s business. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
