A component of our growth strategy
has been the addition of other brands that are complementary to our existing portfolio. Toward this end, during recent years we have launched
new services and acquired new assets. Future growth requires we continue to invest in the newly acquired businesses. The addition of new
products or businesses entails numerous risks with respect to integration and other operating issues, any of which could have a detrimental
effect on our results of operations and/or the value of our equity. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

    ●
    difficulties in assimilating acquired operations or products, including failure to realize synergies;

    ●
    unanticipated costs that could materially adversely affect our results of operations;

    ●
    negative effects on reported results of operations from acquisition-related charges and amortization of acquired intangibles;

    ●
    diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

    ●
    adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers, distributors and retail customers;

    ●
    risks of entering new markets or markets in which we have limited prior experience; and

    ●
    the potential inability to retain and motivate key employees of acquired businesses.

Our ability to grow through the
acquisition of additional brands is also dependent upon identifying acceptable acquisition targets and opportunities, our ability to consummate
prospective transactions on favorable terms, or at all, and the availability of capital to complete the necessary acquisition arrangements.
We intend to finance our brand acquisitions through a combination of our available cash resources, third-party financing and, in appropriate
circumstances, the further issuance of equity and/or debt securities. Acquiring additional brands could have a significant effect on our
financial position and could cause substantial fluctuations in our quarterly and yearly operating results. Also, acquisitions could result
in the recording of significant goodwill and intangible assets on our financial statements, the amortization or impairment of which would
reduce reported earnings in subsequent years.

We face substantial competition
in the spirits industry and have limited financial resources compared to other competitors.

We compete on the basis of product
taste and quality, brand image, price, service and ability to innovate in response to consumer preferences. The global spirits industry
is highly competitive and is dominated by several large, well-funded international companies. Many of our competitors have longer operating
histories and have substantially greater financial, sales, marketing and other resources than we do, as well as larger installed customer
bases, greater name recognition and
