from time to time by Generex representatives concerning the same

These statements can be identified by introductory words such as
"expects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "will," "estimates,"
"forecasts," "projects" or words of similar meaning, and by the
fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. Forward-looking statements frequently are used in discussing
