 If we acquire
companies and integrate them into our business, the process of integrating our existing operations with entities that could potentially
have material weaknesses and/or significant deficiencies may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and may require significant financial
resources to remedy any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development
or expansion of our existing business. These potential material weaknesses and deficiencies may be costly for us to remedy and properly
assess internal control effectiveness.

Uncertain global
macro-economic and political conditions could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations
are materially affected by economic and political conditions in the U.S. and internationally, including inflation, deflation, interest
rates, availability of capital, energy and commodity prices, trade laws and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic

We are an “emerging
growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible
for and intends to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that
are not emerging growth companies for as long as it continues to be an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, (a) not
being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarban
