 volume in the market may be
subject to wide fluctuations. Our stock price could decline regardless of our actual operating performance, and stockholders could lose
a substantial part of their investment as a result of industry or market-based fluctuations. Our stock may trade relatively thinly. If
a more active public market for our stock is not sustained, it may be difficult for stockholders to sell shares of our Common Stock.
Because we do not now pay cash dividends on our Common Stock, stockholders may not be able to receive a return on their shares unless
they are able to sell them. The market price of our Common Stock will likely fluctuate in response to a number of factors, including
but not limited to the following:

●
sales, sales cycle, and market acceptance or rejection of the energy products and services by entities in which we’ve invested;

●
our ability to engage with partners who are successful in their markets;

●
economic conditions within our markets;

●
the timing of announcements by us or our competitors of significant products, contracts or acquisitions or publicity regarding actual
or potential results or performance thereof;

●
domestic and international economic, business, and political conditions;

●
justified or unjustified adverse publicity; and

●
proper or improper third-party short sales or other manipulation of our stock.

We
have a long business and corporate existence.

We
began in Silicon Valley in 1985 as a limited partnership and operated as Mentor Capital, LP until we incorporated in California in 1994.
We were privately owned until September 1996; at which time our Common Stock began trading on the Over The Counter Pink Sheets. Our merger
and acquisition and business development activities have spanned many business sectors, and we went through a bankruptcy reorganization
in 1998. In late 2015, we reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. We have operated in several different industries over
our existence but do not have brand recognition within any one industry.
