, partners or celebrities which could distract from our core business plans, create new risks for our company or otherwise dilute our efforts at growing the value of our company or our brands.

To grow our sales, increase revenue, open new channels of distribution or increase the presence of our company or a brand, we may enter in several arrangements or agreements, including but not limited to partnerships, co-branding arrangements, licensing agreements, co-location, joint branding or other collaborative arrangements, with other brands, producers, partners or celebrities. Examples of some of these arrangements could include:

| ● | Co-branded                                                                                                                                
 or jointly branded products — There is a risk that the co-branding does not work or does not make sense to the consumer,                  
 which would depress sales and could result in a loss of the effort, time and money spent on developing such products. There is also       
 a risk the other brand owner with whom we partnered on the effort may not be able to fulfill its agreements, thereby resulting in         
 lower sales, revenue and profitability compared to expectations heading into such arrangements. There is a risk the other brand owner     
 cannot pay its bills, becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, is foreclosed upon or otherwise must cease operations, in which case       
 we could have a co-branded product without a corresponding co-branding partner. In such a case, it may also be that we lose the right     
 to continue using the co-branded designs, recipes or trademarks because of a change in operation. There is also a risk that the entity    
 with whom we have co-branded, or one of its employees, managers, executives, directors, or prominent shareholders, does or says something 
 to cause harm to the co-branded product and our brand by association.                                                                     |
| ● | Licensing                                                                                                                                 
 Agreements — There is a risk that if we license to others one or more of our brands, trademarks or patents, the licensee                  
 might not pay us the licensing fees or royalties due to us for a variety of reasons. The licensee might attempt to modify or use          
 such licensed items in an inappropriate way inconsistent with our company, the brand, or the terms of the license. There is a risk        
 the licensee, or one of its employees, managers, executives, directors, or prominent shareholders, does or says something to cause        
 harm to the licensed product and our brand by association.                                                                                |

| ● | Co-location                                                                                                                                
 — We may decide to co-locate or co-brand retail spaces with other distillers or
