"forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Act of 1995) that inherently involve risk and
uncertainties. Champions Oncology generally uses words such as

"will," "intend," "expect,"
"anticipate," "plan," and similar expressions to
identify forward-looking statements. One should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for
many unforeseen factors. See the Company's Form 10-K for

uncertainties and other factors. Although the Company believes the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to
events as of the date on which the statements are made, and Champions
Oncology's future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements may not meet these expectations. The Company does not intend to
update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this press
release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in the
Company's expectations, except as required by law.
