When a company decides to go public or issue more shares, they release a prospectus.
The Prospectus includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that include, but are not limited to, any statements regarding the future financial position of the Company and its future prospects and generally are identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "aim", "anticipate", "believe", "estimated", "expect", "forecast", "foresee", "intend", "likely", "may", "planned", "potential", "project", "should", "targets", "will" or similar words and phrases.
These forward-looking statements have been based on current expectations and projections about future results which, although the Directors believe them to be reasonable, are not a guarantee of future performance.
Risk factors which may cause the Company's or the Guarantor's actual achievements, performance, or results to differ materially from any future achievements, performance or results expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include, among other things, economic decline.
The Directors and officers of the issuer, whose names are given in the prospectus, accept full responsibility, collectively and individually, for the accuracy of the information given in the Prospectus and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, no facts have been omitted which would make any statement false or misleading, they have made all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts and that this Prospectus contains all information required by law.
While the company's directors have done their due diligence to ensure these statements are as accurate as possible, they remind investors that the future is never certain. Economic downturns and other factors might lead to different outcomes than expected. Therefore, while the prospectus is a valuable tool for understanding a company's direction and potential, it's important to remember that it contains projections, not guarantees.
