statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”,
“could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward- looking statements are based on assumptions and
address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Although these statements are based on information currently available to Aurania, Aurania provides no
