Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements, other than historical facts, regarding: the progress, scope, duration or results of clinical trials and preclinical studies of inarigivir soproxil (“inarigivir”), SB 11285 or any of our other product candidates or programs, such as the size, design, population, conduct, cost, objective or endpoints of any clinical trial, or the timing for initiation or completion of or availability of results from any clinical trial (including our Phase 2 clinical trial of inarigivir in patients with chronic Hepatitis B virus); the potential benefits that may be derived from any of our product candidates; our future operations, financial position, revenues, costs, expenses, uses of cash, capital requirements or our need for additional financing; or our strategies, goals, milestones, prospects, beliefs, intentions, plans, expectations, forecasts or objectives. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “projects,” “future,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “guidance,” and similar expressions sometimes identify forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statement, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to: whether our cash resources will be sufficient to fund our continuing operations for the period anticipated; the components, timing, costs and results of our clinical trials, preclinical studies and other development activities involving our product candidates; whether certain top-line results from our clinical trials materially change as more information becomes available; whether results obtained in preclinical studies and clinical trials will be indicative of results obtained in future clinical trials; whether inarigivir, SB 11285 and any of our other product candidates will advance through the clinical trial process on a timely basis and receive approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration or equivalent foreign regulatory agencies; and whether, if inarigivir, SB 11285 or any of our other product candidates obtain regulatory approval, it will be successfully distributed and marketed. These and other risks and uncertainties that we face are described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 20, 2018, and in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time.  All forward-looking statements speak only as of August 2, 2018 and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any other date.
