For example, we are using forward-looking statements when we discuss the findings of the study, the evidence they provide and their potential implications, such as the superiority of placenta-derived cells over those sourced from fat tissue and bone marrow and the potential power of placental cells to address complex diseases without harming the patient, and when we discuss our plans to advance into clinical studies of PLX-PAD cells in treating preeclampsia. These forward-looking statements and their implications are based on the current expectations of the management of Pluristem only, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
