in Ukraine, or strategic competition and tensions between China, the United States, Taiwan or other countries have also contributed to
uncertainty in the geopolitical and regulatory landscape. Such conflicts and tensions could adversely impact macroeconomic conditions,
give rise to regional instability and result in heightened economic tariffs, sanctions and import-export restrictions from the United
States and the international community in a manner that adversely affect us, including to the extent that any such actions cause material
business interruptions or restrict our ability in these regions to conduct business with certain suppliers or vendors. Additionally, such
conflict or sanctions may significantly devalue various global currencies and have a negative impact on economies in geographies in which
we do business.

Similarly, other events such as labor force instability and strikes,
terrorist attacks, pandemic, actual or threatened acts of war or the escalation of current hostilities, or any other military or trade
disruptions impacting our domestic or foreign suppliers of components of our products, may impact our operations by, among other things,
causing supply chain disruptions and increases in commodity prices, which could adversely affect our raw materials or transportation costs.
These events also could cause or act to prolong an economic recession in the United States or abroad. Any future disaster recovery and
business continuity plans we may put in place may prove inadequate in the event of a serious disaster or similar event, and, more generally,
any of these events could cause consumer member confidence and spending to decrease, which could adversely impact our operations.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property 

Our patent applications may not result in issued patents, and
our issued patents may not provide adequate protection, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from

Our patent applications may not result in issued patents, which
may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours. The
registration of patents involves complex legal and factual questions and the breadth of claims allowed is uncertain. As a result, we
cannot be certain that our patent applications will result in patents being issued, or that our patents and any patents that may be
issued to us will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Numerous patents and pending patent applications
owned by others exist in the fields in which we have developed and is and will be developing our technology. Many of these existing
patents and patent applications might have priority over our patent applications and could subject our patent applications to
rejection. Furthermore, patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject
