 laws of the jurisdictions in which our employees work, and it may be difficult for us to restrict
our competitors from benefiting from the expertise that our former employees or consultants developed while working for us. For example,
Israeli courts have required employers seeking to enforce non-compete undertakings of a former employee to demonstrate that the competitive
activities of the former employee will harm one of a limited number of material interests of the employer that have been recognized by
the courts, such as the secrecy of a company’s confidential commercial information or the protection of its intellectual property.
If we cannot demonstrate that such interests will be harmed, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise
of our former employees or consultants and our ability to remain competitive may be diminished.

Risks
Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements

We
maintain some of our cash balances at financial institutions that may exceed federally insured limits.

A
small portion of our cash is held in accounts at U. S. banking institutions that we believe are of high quality. Cash held in non-interest-bearing
and interest-bearing operating accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. If such banking
institutions were to fail, we could lose all or a portion of those amounts held in excess of such insurance limitations.

Risks
Related to Our Intellectual Property

If
we are unable to obtain and maintain effective patent rights for our products, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets.
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets or know-how, such proprietary information may be used by others
to compete against us.

Our
reverse access technology is patent protected in several jurisdictions: United States, Europe (including Austria, Switzerland, Germany,
Spain, France, United Kingdom and Italy), Israel, China and Hong-Kong.

There
is no guarantee that pending or future patent applications will result in patent grants. Failure to file patent applications or obtain
patent grants may allow other entities to manufacture our products and compete with them.

Further,
there is no assurance that all potentially relevant prior art relating to our patent applications has been found, which can invalidate
a patent or prevent a patent from being issued from a pending patent application. Even if patents are successfully issued, and even if
such patents cover our products, third parties may challenge their validity, enforceability, or scope, which may result in such patents
being narrowed, found unenforceable or invalidated. Furthermore, even if they are unchallenged
