Except for the factual statements made herein, the information contained in this presentation consists of forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words and expressions reflecting optimism, satisfaction or disappointment with current prospects, as well as words such as “believes,” “hopes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “plans,” “anticipates” and variations thereof, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and our actual results could differ materially from those contained in such statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the company’s ability to maintain and increase sales volumes of its products; the ability to continue to aggressively control costs and operating expenses; the ability to achieve the intended cost savings and maintain quality with its manufacturing partners; its ability to generate cash from operations; the ability of our suppliers to provide an adequate supply of components for the company’s products at prices consistent with historical prices; the ability to raise outside capital and to repay the company’s debt as it comes due; the ability to introduce new competitive products and the degree of market acceptance of such new products; the timing and market acceptance of new products introduced by Sphere 3D’s competitors; the company’s ability to maintain strong relationships with branded channel partners; the ability to maintain the listing of Sphere 3D’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market; customers’, suppliers’ and creditors’ perceptions of Sphere 3D’s continued viability; rescheduling or cancellation of customer orders; loss of a major customer; the Company’s ability to enforce its intellectual property rights and protect its intellectual property (including the outcome of its ongoing patent litigation); general competition and price measures in the market place; unexpected shortages of critical components; worldwide information technology spending levels; and general economic conditions.
