Management believes that our current cash on hand will not meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months and as such we will need to either raise additional proceeds and/or our officers and/or directors will need to make additional financial commitments to our company, neither of which is guaranteed. We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements, primarily the working capital required to execute on our objectives, including marketing and sales of our product, and to offset legal and accounting fees, through financial commitments from future debt/equity financings, if and when possible.
Management believes that we may generate some sales revenue within the next twelve (12) months, but that these sales revenues will not satisfy our cash requirements during that period. We have no committed source for funds as of this date. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event that funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales, and could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements as a result of these uncertainties.
