By their nature, forward-looking statements are based on current expectations regarding future events that involve a number of assumptions, known and unknown risks, and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or achievements of Sonoro, or the industry, may vary materially from what is expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual performance to be materially different from those we project.
