 Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various
requirements on U.S. reporting public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls
and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance
initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities
more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more expensive for us to obtain director
and officer liability insurance, which in turn could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified senior management
personnel or members for our board of directors. In addition, these rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations,
and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies.
This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure
and governance practices. Pursuant to Section 404 of SOX (“Section 404”), we will be required to furnish a report by our
senior management on our internal control over financial reporting.

While
we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting
issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To prepare for eventual compliance with Section 404, once we no longer qualify
as an emerging growth company, we will be engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting,
which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside
consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue
steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement
a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that
we will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed timeframe or at all, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective
as required by Section 404.

We
are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make
our common stock less attractive to investors.

We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“the JOBS Act”). For
