- Due to the low price and volume of our stock, a shareholder may be unable to sell shares, or may lose money on their investment.

- You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
- Management will have broad discretion as to the use of any proceeds received pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants for cash and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
Future Outlook
