Article 6. Risk factors
 
Party A agrees that investment in the Common Stock of the Company involves a high degree of risk and should be regarded as speculative. Party A further represents and agrees that it can afford a loss of its entire investment. In addition to the other information contained in this document, Party A has considered carefully the following factors.
 
a)  
Limited Operating History. The Company has only a limited operating history from which Party A can evaluate its business and prospects for future success. The Company has recognized only very limited revenues to date.
 
b)  
Full Disclosure. Party A acknowledges that it has reviewed the Company’s public disclosure documents filed with the SEC which can be found at www.sec.gov.
 
c)  
Lack of Transferability, Marketability and Liquidity of the Shares. The Common Stock is currently quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, but trading volume is low and liquidity is limit. Consequently, Party A is prepared to remain a shareholder of the Company for long time. The Shares may not be sold in the public market except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
 
d)  
Minimal Capital. The Company currently believes it will need additional capital to sustain its operation. There can be no assurances we will be successful in obtaining this financing. If the amount of funding is not sufficient to obtain profitable business operations and the Company is liquidated, there will very likely not be any assets in the Company for payment to the shareholders.
 
e)  
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company’s development of its concept and business is dependent on its management team and the loss of any one of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
