Even if we are able to acquire businesses on favorable
terms, managing growth through acquisitions is a difficult process that includes integration and training of personnel, combining facility
and operating procedures, and additional matters related to the integration of acquired businesses within our existing organization. Unanticipated
issues related to integration may result in additional expense and disruption to our operations, and may require a disproportionate amount
of our management’s attention, any of which could negatively impact our ability to achieve anticipated benefits, such as revenue
and cost synergies. Growth of our business through acquisitions generally increases our operating complexity and the level of responsibility
for both existing and new management personnel. Managing and sustaining our growth and expansion may require substantial enhancements
to our operational and financial systems and controls, as well as additional administrative, operational and financial resources. We may
be required to invest in additional support personnel, facilities and systems to address the increased complexities associated with business
or segment expansion. These investments could result in higher overall operating costs and lower operating profits for the business as
a whole. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in integrating acquired businesses or managing our expanding operations.

In addition, although we conduct due diligence
investigations prior to each acquisition, there can be no assurance that we will discover or adequately protect against all material liabilities
of an acquired business for which we may be responsible as a successor owner or operator. The failure to identify suitable acquisitions,
successfully integrate these acquired businesses, successfully manage our expanding operations, or to discover liabilities associated
with such businesses in the diligence process, could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

In order to finance such acquisitions, we may
need to obtain additional funds either through public or private financings, including bank and other secured and unsecured borrowings
and/or the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that such financings would be available to us on reasonable
terms. Any future issuances of equity securities or debt securities with equity features may be dilutive to our stockholders.

If our information technology systems suffer
interruptions or failures, including as a result of cyberattacks, our business operations could be disrupted and our reputation could
suffer.

We rely on information technology systems to process
transactions, communicate with customers, manage our business and process and maintain information. The measures we have in place to monitor
and protect our information technology systems might not provide sufficient protection from catastrophic events, power surges, viruses,
malicious software (including ransomware), attempts to
