If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.  There may be additional risks that neither Amprius or Kensington presently know or that Amprius and Kensington currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.  In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Amprius' and Kensington's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release.  Amprius and Kensington anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Amprius' and Kensington's assessments to change.  However, while Amprius and Kensington may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Amprius and Kensington specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.  These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Amprius' or Kensington's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.  Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.  Neither Amprius, Kensington, nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation to update this press release other than as required by law.
