Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains "forward-looking statements."
Statements in this news release that are not purely historical are
forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding
beliefs, plans, expectations, or intentions regarding the future.
Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the
following: statements regarding the expected gross proceeds of
approximately $5 million, the intended use of proceeds and the
expected closing date of the offering.
The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking
statements include, among others, that the demand for the Company’s
products will continue to significantly grow; that the past
production capacity of the Company’s co-packing facilities can be
maintained or increased; that there will be increased production
capacity through implementation of new production facilities, new
co-packers and new technology; that there will be an increase in
number of products available for sale to retailers and consumers;
that there will be an expansion in geographical areas by national
retailers carrying the Company’s products; that there will be an
expansion into new national and regional grocery retailers; that
there will be an expansion into new e-commerce, home delivery,
convenience, and healthy food channels; that there will not be
interruptions on production of the Company’s products; that there
will not be a recall of products due to unintended contamination or
other adverse events relating to the Company’s products; and that
the Company will be able to obtain additional capital to meet the
Company’s growing demand and satisfy the capital expenditure
requirements needed to increase production and support sales
activity. Actual results could differ from those projected in any
forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors
include, among others, governmental regulations being implemented
regarding the production and sale of alkaline water or any other
products, including products containing hemp/CBD; additional
competitors selling alkaline water and enhanced water products in
bulk containers reducing the Company’s sales; the fact that the
Company does not own or operate any of its production facilities
and that co-packers may not renew current agreements and/or not
satisfy increased production quotas; the fact that the Company has
a limited number of suppliers of its unique bulk bottles; the
potential for supply-chain interruption due to factors beyond the
Company’s control; the fact that there may be a recall of products
due to unintended contamination; the inherent uncertainties
associated with operating as an early stage company; changes in
customer demand and the fact that consumers may not embrace
enhanced water products as expected or at all; the extent to which
the Company is successful in gaining new long-term relationships
with new retailers and retaining existing relationships with
retailers; the Company’s ability to raise the additional funding
that it will need to continue to pursue its business, planned
capital expansion and sales activity; and competition in the
industry in which the Company operates and market conditions. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news
release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the
forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual
results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking
statements, except as required by applicable law, including the
securities laws of the United States and Canada. Although the
Company believes that any beliefs, plans, expectations, and
intentions contained in this news release are reasonable, there can
be no assurance that any such beliefs, plans, expectations, or
intentions will prove to be accurate. Readers should consult all of
the information set forth herein and should also refer to the risk
factors disclosure outlined in the reports and other documents the
Company files with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov, and on the
SEDAR, available at www.sedar.com.
