Forward Looking Statements
The Site may contain forward-looking statements about Helius’s financial and operating performance, business plans and products that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

The information presented on the Site is believed to be current as of the date of its original publication. The forward-looking statements on the Site are neither promises nor guarantees, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Helius’s control and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Helius assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.
