If
we are unable to protect our property, our competitive position would be adversely affected.

We
and our partners and subsidiaries intend to rely on contracts and agreements to protect our property rights. If we, or our affiliates
and partners, fail to protect property rights, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would suffer. In the future,
we may be forced to pay significant amounts to defend our rights, and a substantial amount of the attention of our management may be
diverted from our ongoing business, all of which would materially adversely affect our business.

We

to work with companies that develop and enhance products and services offered in the energy and dispute resolution industries. There
can be no assurance that our partners and subsidiaries will be able to develop and execute products and services or enhance initial products
in a timely manner to apply and satisfy customer needs, achieve market acceptance or address changes in our target markets. Failure to
apply and develop products and services and introduce them successfully and in a timely manner could adversely affect our competitive
position, financial condition, and results of operations.

If
we experience rapid growth, we will need to manage such growth well.

may experience substantial growth in the size of our staff and the scope of our operations, resulting in increased responsibilities for
management. To manage this possible growth effectively, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management
information systems, will possibly need to create departments that do not now exist, and hire,
