Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Musoshi’s web pages, blog posts, stories, news, updates, posts, press releases, presentations, audio and video files of events (whether live or recorded) and other documents, photographs and videos on our website and in our social media postings contain, among other things, forward-looking statements that reflect management's current expectations, intentions, assumptions, plans and beliefs with respect to future events or plans. The words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," “could,” "estimate," "expect," “going forward,” "intend," "may," "plan," "project," “seek,” "should," “will,” “would,” and similar expressions, identify forward-looking statements (though the absence of such words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking). Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and may change over time. These forward-looking statements reflect management’s views at the time such statements were made and are not guarantees of any outcome or result or any future performance, prospects or developments. Musoshi and its management do not intend to (and Musoshi expressly disclaims any obligation to) update or otherwise revise such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are strongly cautioned that reliance on any forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and any or all of our forward-looking statements may ultimately be inaccurate or incorrect. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date such statements are made. All forward-looking statements on our website and in our social media postings are qualified by reference to this cautionary statement section.
