Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. The
Company's ability to fund operations and make planned capital expenditures and
debt service obligations depends on future operating performance and cash flows,
which are subject to prevailing economic conditions, financial markets, business
and other factors. We have recorded a net loss of

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
? the cost and timing of our regulatory activities, especially the process to
obtain regulatory approval for our intellectual properties in the U.S. and in
foreign countries
? the costs of R&D activities we undertake to further develop our technology
? the costs of constructing our grow houses, including any impact of
complications, delays, and other unknown events
? the costs of commercialization activities, including sales, marketing and
production
? the level of working capital required to support our growth
? our need for additional personnel, information technology or other operating
infrastructure to support our growth and operations as a public company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company is at the stage of development of its first facility and other IP. As such it is likely that additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to develop and commercialize its technology. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
For the next twelve months from issuance of these financial statements, the Company will seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity financings or other arrangements to fund operations; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise needed capital under acceptable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing shareholders and newly issued shares may contain senior rights and preferences compared to currently outstanding common shares. Issued debt securities may contain covenants and limit the Company's ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing, future operations would need to be scaled back or discontinued. Due to the uncertainty in the Company's ability to raise capital, management believes that there is substantial doubt in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
