 conditions and natural disasters.

Our business model is to partner with or
acquire other companies.

We aim to find energy businesses whose products, managers,
technology, or other factors that we like and then acquire or invest in those businesses. While we are open to investing in a diverse
portfolio of entities across the energy sector, there is no certainty that we will find suitable partners or that we will be able to engage
in transactions on advantageous terms with the partners we identify. There is also no certainty that we will be able to consummate future
transactions on favorable terms, or any new transaction at all. To date, several of our acquisitions/investments have not turned out well
for us.

We may have to work harder to introduce
rigor in our transactions.

Many of the people and entities with whom we engage
may not be used to operating in business transactions in a public environment. Therefore, in order to discharge our fiduciary and disclosure
obligations, we may have to work harder to maintain good business practices. Entities and persons operating in private industry may be
unaccustomed to entering into lengthy written agreements or keeping financial records according to GAAP. Additionally, entities and persons
with whom we had engaged may not have paid particular attention to the obligations including their obligations associated with employee
retention tax credit and economic injury disaster loan programs with which they have agreed in written contracts. We have experienced
or may experience differences in this manner with several different entities with whom we do business, including several entities that
failed to comply with common law contractual obligations, which led us into litigation and other legal remedies.
