- 4 -

  • substantial fluctuation of losses from quarter to quarter and year to year due to numerous external risk factors, and anticipation that we will continue to incur significant losses in the future;
  • uncertainty as to the Company's ability to raise additional funding to support operations;

Drug development involves long lead times, is very expensive and involves many variables of uncertainty. Anticipated timelines regarding drug development are based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company. Every subject treated in future studies can change those assumptions either positively (to indicate a faster timeline to new drug applications and other approvals) or negatively (to indicate a slower timeline to new drug applications and other approvals). This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements regarding anticipated or possible drug development timelines. Such statements are informed by, among other things, regulatory guidelines for developing a drug with safety and tolerability studies, proof of concept studies, and pivotal studies for new drug application submission and approval, and assumes the success of implementation and results of such studies on timelines indicated as possible by such guidelines, other industry examples, and the Company's development efforts to date.

Please also refer to the Company's filing statement dated April 23, 2021 (the "Filing Statement"), which may be viewed under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com,for additional risks that could affect future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained herein.
