and Trademark Office to protect certain of our key technologies, however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to control all of the rights for all of our intellectual property. We do not know whether any of our future patent applications, if any, will result in the issuance of any patents. Even issued patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Patents may not provide a competitive advantage or afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Competitors or potential competitors may have filed applications for, or may have received patents and may obtain additional and proprietary rights to technologies or processes used by or competitive with ours. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time-consuming and expensive. Competitors may be able to design around our patents or develop products which provide outcomes which are comparable or may even be superior to ours.

Rapid advances in artificial
intelligence, machine learning and automation technologies may further increase competitive pressure and could, over time, enable competitors
or third parties to replicate, approximate or otherwise achieve similar functional outcomes to certain aspects of our technologies without
infringing our patents or proprietary rights. While we believe that our technology stack is differentiated by its control software, hardware
design and system-level engineering, there can be no assurance that advances in AI-driven modeling, simulation or autonomous control systems
will not reduce the technological barriers to entry in our markets or diminish the competitive advantage of our proprietary solutions.

In the event a competitor
infringes upon our intellectual property rights, enforcing those rights may be costly, uncertain, difficult and time consuming. Even if
successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge could be expensive and time
consuming and could divert our management’s attention. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property
rights or to defend our patents rights against a challenge. The failure to obtain patents and/or protect our intellectual property rights
could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we have taken
steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology, including entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual
property assignment agreements with all of our executive officers, employees, consultants and advisors, however, such agreements may not
provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or
other breaches of the agreements. Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same
extent as do the laws of the United States. However, we have not executed confidentiality agreement or non-compete agreements with our
third-party suppliers and there is no restriction on their working with our competitors or selling our component designs to other parties.
In that regard, we deem our complex kinematic algorithms and control software to be our most valuable intellectual property and is done
in-house only with no sub-contractor involved. In that regard, while our complex kinematic algorithms and control software are developed
entirely in-house and are not shared with subcontractors, we primarily rely on a combination of trade secret protection, copyright law
and contractual confidentiality measures to protect these technologies. Trade secret protection depends on our ability to maintain the
secrecy of the underlying information, and may be lost if such information is disclosed, misappropriated or independently developed by
third parties. Copyright protection generally protects the expression of software code, but does not prevent others from developing independent
software, algorithms or systems that perform similar functions or achieve comparable results.

These forms of protection
are subject to inherent limitations and weaknesses, including risks arising from employee turnover, cybersecurity incidents, unauthorized
access, reverse engineering, inadvertent disclosure during product deployment or customer support, and the use of third-party components
or interfaces. In addition, enforcement of trade secret or copyright rights can be costly, uncertain and time-consuming, particularly
in foreign jurisdictions where legal protections and remedies may be more limited. As a result, we may be unable to prevent competitors
from replicating or approximating aspects of our proprietary technologies, which could materially adversely affect our competitive position
and business.

We may become subject
to claims of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of others, which could prohibit us from developing our
products, require us to obtain licenses from third parties or to develop non-infringing alternatives and subject us to substantial monetary
damages.

Third parties could, in the
future, assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us with respect to products we develop. Whether a product infringes a patent
or misappropriates other intellectual property involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain.
Therefore, we cannot be certain that we have not infringed the intellectual property rights of others. Our potential competitors may assert
that some aspect of our product infringes their patents. Because patent applications may take years to issue, there also may be applications
now pending of which we are unaware that may later result in issued patents upon which our products could infringe. There also may be
existing patents or pending patent applications of which we are unaware upon which our products may inadvertently infringe.

Any infringement or misappropriation
claim could cause us to incur significant costs, place significant strain on our financial resources, divert management’s attention
from our business and harm our reputation. If the relevant patents in such claim were upheld as valid and enforceable and we were found
to infringe them, we could be prohibited from selling any product that is found to infringe unless we could obtain licenses to use the
technology covered by the patent or are able to design around the patent. We may be unable to obtain such a license on terms acceptable
to us, if at all, and we may not be able to redesign our products to avoid infringement. A court could also order us to pay compensatory
damages for such infringement, plus prejudgment interest and could, in addition, treble the compensatory damages and award attorney fees.
These damages could be substantial and could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results. A court also could
enter orders that temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoin us and our customers from making, using, or selling products, and could
enter an order mandating that we undertake certain remedial activities. Depending on the nature of the relief ordered by the court, we
could become liable for additional damages to third parties.

Significant changes
or developments in U.S. laws or policies, including changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto,
may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial statements.

Significant changes or developments
in U.S. laws and policies, such as laws and policies surrounding international trade, foreign affairs, manufacturing and development and
investment in the territories and countries where we or our customers operate, can materially adversely affect our business and financial
statements. Tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, may increase the cost of certain raw materials and components used in our products.
If these tariffs remain in place or are expanded, or if new trade restrictions are implemented, our manufacturing costs could increase,
which could materially and adversely affect our margins and financial results.

Furthermore, changes in trade
policy have increased uncertainty in our industry, and any escalation in trade tensions could disrupt our supply chain, delay production
timelines, or require costly modifications to sourcing and logistics strategies. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting
impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the
U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and
cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and
Capital Requirements

We believe our current
cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements for a period of twelve months from the issuance of our
third quarter financial statements. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
