This press release contains certain forward-looking
statements relating to our business, including our plans to develop
electroporation-based drug and gene delivery technologies and DNA
vaccines and our capital resources. Actual events or results may
differ from the expectations set forth herein as a result of a
number of factors, including uncertainties inherent in pre-clinical
studies, clinical trials and product development programs
(including, but not limited to, the fact that pre-clinical and
clinical results referenced in this release may not be indicative
of results achievable in other trials or for other indications,
that the studies or trials may not be successful or achieve the
results desired, that pre-clinical studies and clinical trials may
not commence or be completed in the time periods anticipated, that
results from one study may not necessarily be reflected or
supported by the results of other similar studies and that results
from an animal study may not be indicative of results achievable in
human studies), the availability of funding to support continuing
research and studies in an effort to prove safety and efficacy of
electroporation technology as a delivery mechanism or develop
viable DNA vaccines, the adequacy of our capital resources, the
availability or potential availability of alternative therapies or
treatments for the conditions targeted by the company or its
collaborators, including alternatives that may be more efficacious
or cost-effective than any therapy or treatment that the company
and its collaborators hope to develop, evaluation of potential
opportunities, issues involving product liability, issues involving
patents and whether they or licenses to them will provide the
company with meaningful protection from others using the covered
technologies, whether such proprietary rights are enforceable or
defensible or infringe or allegedly infringe on rights of others or
can withstand claims of invalidity and whether the company can
finance or devote other significant resources that may be necessary
to prosecute, protect or defend them, the level of corporate
expenditures, assessments of the company's technology by potential
corporate or other partners or collaborators, capital market
conditions, the impact of government healthcare proposals and other
