We
may not be able to hire and retain qualified personnel to support our growth and if we are unable to retain or hire qualified personnel
in the future, our ability to improve our products and implement our business objectives could be adversely affected.

We
must attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of technically competent employees. Competition for senior management and senior
personnel in the industry is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services
of our senior executives or senior personnel or attract and retain high-quality senior executives or senior personnel in the future.
This failure could materially and adversely affect our future growth and financial condition.

We
are dependent on certain key personnel and loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Our
success is, to a certain extent, attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and research and development expertise of key personnel.
We are dependent upon the services of Gary Seaton for our continued growth and operation because of his experience in the industry
and his personal and business contacts. Although we have no reason to believe that Gary Seaton will discontinue his services with
us, the interruption or loss of his services would adversely affect our ability to effectively run our business and pursue our business
strategy as well as our results of operations. Besides, our success depends on the continuous devotion of our directors and senior management,
and they are well experienced and have a deep understanding as to our business and operation. The loss of these officers could have a
material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We
may be subject to claims, litigation or regulatory actions filed or pending by or against us, and any obligation to pay a judgment or
damages could materially harm our business or financial condition.

From
time to time, we may be engaged in litigation and incur significant costs relating to these matters. There are inherent uncertainties
of any future litigation, and the ultimate cost and outcome of future litigation cannot be predicted. We currently carry director and
officer liability insurance and other insurance policies that provide protection against various liabilities relating to claims against
us and our executive officers and directors. Any expenses and liabilities relating to future lawsuits will materially harm our financial
condition. In addition, we might not be able to obtain the sufficient insurance coverage due to cost or other reasons. It could make
it more difficult for us to retain and attract officers
