Forward Looking Statements
In this Annual Report, we have shared information and made forward looking statements to enable investors to know our product
portfolio, business logic and direction and thereby comprehend our prospects. Such and other statements - written and oral - that we
may periodically make are based on our
assumptions.Wehave tried wherever possible to identify such statements by using words such
as ‘anticipate’,‘estimate’,‘intend’,‘plan’,‘project’ and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future
performance.Wecannot guarantee that these forward looking statements will be realised although we believe we have been prudent in our assumptions.
The achievement of results is subject to uncertainties, risks and even inaccurate assumptions. If uncertainties or known or unknown risks
materialise or if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results can vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, intended,
planned or
projected.Weundertake no obligation to publicly update any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
