There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in expanding its technology to broader medical applications or conduct clinical trials to validate the efficacy of the Company’s products for new forms of medical treatments. There is no assurance that the ability to produce a commercial sized biomass will result in the Company entering into commercial production of Cannabis. Clinical trials are subject to risks of significant cost overruns and lengthy delays with no assurance they will confirm desired results.

There is no assurance that we will achieve our objective of being a leading supplier of Cannabis. Delays and cost overruns may result in delays achieving our objectives.

Projected sales of Cannabis will require the company to obtain production and / or export licensing which cannot be assured. There is no assurance the company will successfully expand its lineup of nutraceutical products or move into medical prescription products. Successful completion of these objectives will require additional financing, successful marketing initiatives, and certifications which are subject to uncertainty.

There is no assurance that the company will be approved for commercial Cannabis production in Israel or elsewhere. Obtaining such approvals is subject to many risks and uncertainties, in addition to the need for financing, including potential delays, unexpected changes in requirements and unexpected failure to meet requirements.
