future events, and include, among others, statements related to the
receipt of Stockholder Approval and the intended use of proceeds
from the private placement. When used in this press release, the
words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,”
“intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar
expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither

they are based only on our current
beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the
future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections,
anticipated events and trends, the economy, activities of

those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among
others, the following: market and other conditions; there is
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue on a going-concern
basis; we might not be eligible for Australian government research
and development tax rebates; if we are not able to successfully
develop, obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval
for, and provide for the commercialization of non-malaria
prevention indications for tafenoquine (ARAKODA® or other
regimen) or Celgosivir in a timely manner, we may not be able to
expand our business operations; we may not be able to successfully
conduct planned clinical trials; and we have no manufacturing
capacity which puts us at risk of lengthy and costly delays of
bringing our products to market. More detailed information
about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the
realization of forward-looking statements is set forth in the
