• The company's share price is highly volatile.
• The company may be unable to access a part or all of the amount available under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, in the absence of any other financing sources, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks

• The actual number of ELOC Shares that will be sold under the ELOC Purchase Agreement to the Investor, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales is not possible to predict.
• Investors who buy ELOC Shares from the Investor at different times will likely pay different prices.
• The sale of a substantial amount of ELOC Shares and Shares in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Shares.
• Outstanding warrants and future sales of our Securities may further dilute the Common Shares and adversely impact the price of our Common Shares.
• The market for our Common Shares may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.
• Since we do not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future, investors may be forced to sell their stock in order to obtain a return on their investment.
• Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive from the sale of the ELOC Shares made pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a significant return.
• If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our Common Shares and Prior Warrants.
• If our Common Shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult to sell our Common Shares.
• Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.
• We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our Common Shares as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares.
• We are governed by the corporate laws of British Columbia, Canada which in some cases have a different effect on shareholders than the corporate laws of the United States.
• U.S. holders of the Company's shares may suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company.
• The unfavorable outcome of any future litigation, arbitration or administrative action could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
• If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
• We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.
• We are an emerging growth company, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our common shares less attractive to investors.
• We incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company in the United States, and our management is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
• If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis could be impaired.

Future Outlook

The company intends to use any proceeds from the facility for working capital and general corporate purposes and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
