Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this Web site that are not descriptions of historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Those statements involve substantial risk and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in any forward-looking statements, particularly those risks and uncertainties inherent in the process of discovering, developing and commercializing drugs that are safe and effective for use as human therapeutics. Factors that may cause such a difference include material developments affecting our business and prospects, such as the failure to successfully commercialize any approved product; lack of achievement of expected revenue goals; risks and uncertainties surrounding the presentation of data to the FDA and approval of biologics product applications by the FDA; risks related to our clinical trials; the risk that the results obtained in one clinical trial will not be obtained in a subsequent clinical trial; the risk that the safety or efficacy results of a clinical trial will not support an application for a biologics license; the risk that the FDA will not approve a product for which a biologics license has been applied; the risk that preclinical development efforts will not generate results that warrant further development of a product candidate; progress on the expansion of our commercial facilities, including the expansion of our manufacturing capacity and other necessary infrastructure; success in the hiring of additional personnel to support business growth and expansion; our dependence on the efforts of third parties for certain key components and services; our reliance on intellectual property protection; and the risk we may need to raise additional capital to fund business growth or operations. Further information on the factors and risks that could affect Bioniz's business, financial condition, and results of operations are contained in Bioniz's public disclosure filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov.
