management’s attention may be diverted from other aspects of our business, 

•we may face unexpected problems entering geographic and product markets in which we have limited or no direct prior experience, 

•we may lose key employees of acquired or existing businesses, 

•we may incur liabilities and claims arising out of acquired businesses, 

•we may be unable to obtain financing, and 

•we may incur indebtedness or issue additional capital stock, which could be dilutive to holders of our common stock. 

There can be no assurance that attractive acquisition opportunities will be available to us, that we will be able to obtain financing for or otherwise consummate any acquisitions or that any acquisitions which are consummated will prove to be successful. There can be no assurance that we can successfully execute all aspects of our business strategy.

Our success depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. 

Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon the protection of our proprietary technology, and that of any licensors. Legal fees and other expenses necessary to obtain and maintain appropriate patent protection could be material. Currently, no material aspect of our business is protected by registered patents, copyrights or trademarks. Insufficient funding may inhibit our ability to obtain and maintain such protection. Additionally, if we must resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, and could involve a high degree of risk to our proprietary rights if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, such proceedings.

We may also rely on trademarks, trade secrets and contract law to protect certain of our proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that any trademarks will be approved, that such contract will not be breached, or that if breached, we will have adequate remedies. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of our trade secrets will not become known or independently discovered by third parties.

Our future growth may be inhibited by the failure to implement new technologies.

Our future growth is partially tied to our ability to improve our knowledge and implementation of mobile, AI, machine learning, and other advanced technologies in a retail environment, which is a rapidly changing market. The inability to successfully implement commercially technologies in response to market conditions in a manner that is responsive to our customers’ requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our common stock is governed under The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990. 

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection
