Forward-looking statements, including future oriented financial information, are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions made by Medwell management in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future events, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward looking statements made by the Company, or on its behalf.
Forward-looking information may relate to management's future outlook and anticipated events or results, and may include statements or information regarding the future plans, intentions, beliefs and prospects of the Company, and can often be identified by forward looking words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "estimate", "envision", "may" and "will" or similar words suggesting future outcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance.
Forward-looking statements, including future oriented financial information, are based on certain factors and assumptions as discussed in greater detail in the Company's annual information form and management's discussion and analysis. In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all forward looking statements, including future-oriented financial information, the inclusion or incorporation by reference of forward looking statements in the Company's public disclosure should not be considered as a representation by the Company or any other person that the Company's objectives or plans will be achieved.

These factors are discussed in detail in the Company's annual information form under the heading "Risk Factors" and management's discussion and analysis under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties", copies of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
