    ●

In
particular, there has been significant recent political instability in Peru and Chile, where our contract manufacturers are located.
There can be no assurance that political instability in those countries will not materially and adversely affect our contract manufacturers
and, in turn, our ability to source our products.

If
we expand into other target markets, we cannot assure you that our expansion plans will be realized, or if realized, be successful. We
expect each market to have particular regulatory and funding hurdles to overcome, and future developments in these markets, including
the uncertainty relating to governmental policies and regulations, could harm our business. If we expend significant time and resources
on expansion plans that fail or are delayed, our reputation, business and financial condition may be adversely affected.

In
addition, we could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as amended, and similar worldwide anti-bribery
laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials or other third parties for
the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, our internal control
policies and procedures may not protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. Violations of these laws,
or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition.

Our
results may be negatively affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
