Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements which constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward looking statements are based upon the Company’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur for various reasons, including some reasons which are beyond the Company’s control. For example, this Report states that the Company is seeking approval from the ISA and expects that the Common Stock will begin trading on the TASE during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2017.

For these reasons, among others, you should not place undue reliance upon the Company’s forward looking statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Report.
