Forward Looking Statements
Echo's Symphony tCGM System has not yet been approved for sale. Theregulatory approval process for the Symphony tCGM System involves, among otherthings, successfully completing clinical trials and obtaining a premarketapproval, or PMA, from the FDA and corresponding foreign regulatoryauthorities. The PMA process requires Echo to prove the safety and efficacy ofthe Symphony tCGM System to the FDA's satisfaction. This process can beexpensive and uncertain, and there is no guarantee that Echo will be able tosubmit a PMA for the Symphony tCGM System or that such system will be approvedby the FDA in any specific timeframe, or at all. In addition, clinical testingof Echo's products and eventual commercialization of its products are subjectto all of the risks and uncertainties set forth in its periodic reports filedwith the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.(C) 2002 - 2008 Echo Therapeutics, Inc.
