interactions; the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in
response to the pandemic on global and regional economies and
economic activity; the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic
subsides; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a
worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic
growth; the effects of steps that the Company could take to reduce
operating costs; the inability of the Company to sustain profitable
sales growth, convert inventory to cash, or reduce its costs to
maintain competitive prices for its products; circumstances or
developments that may make the Company unable to implement or
realize the anticipated benefits, or that may increase the costs,
of its current and planned business initiatives; and those factors
detailed by LightPath Technologies, Inc. in its public filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report
on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Should one or
more of these risks, uncertainties, or facts materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those indicated or anticipated by the
forward-looking statements contained herein. Accordingly, you are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of
future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate
indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or
results will be achieved. Except as required under the federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, we do not have any intention or obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events, or otherwise.</font></div>
