Forward-Looking Statement:
This Press Release includes forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Acts"). In particular, the words "believe,"
"may," "could," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate,"
"project," "propose," "plan," "intend," and similar conditional
words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements and are subject to the safe harbor created by these
Acts. Examples of forward-looking statements include,
statements regarding future growth, revenues and financial results,
expected product developments (including, without limitation,
growth through the Company's multichannel strategy, placement of
more products with retailers throughout the year, revenue from
sales from the branded vending and foodservice manufacturers and,
in other similar relationships, as well as to be developed with
BikeCaffe), future relationships with retailers and distributors,
and intentions to expand into new geographic and product
markets. Such statements are based upon assumptions that in
the future may prove not to have been accurate and are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties. Such statements are
subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond the control of the Company. These risks
and others are included from time to time in documents we file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including but not
limited to, its Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks.
Included in these risks are our going concern and liquidity
risks. Our ability to meet our obligations in the ordinary
course of business is dependent upon our ability to sell our
products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish
profitable operations through increased sales and decreased
expenses, and obtain additional funds when needed. Management
intends to increase sales by increasing our product offerings,
expanding our direct sales force and expanding our distributor
relationships both domestically and internationally. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to increase sales, reduce
expenses, or obtain additional financing, if necessary, at a level
to meet our current obligations. As a result, the opinion we
have received from our independent registered public accounting
firm on January 31, 2012 consolidated
financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that
there is a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a
going concern.
Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material
adverse effects on our future results. Accordingly, you
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that its forward-looking
statements will prove to be correct. Investors are cautioned that
any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ
materially from those projected. The forward-looking
statements in this press release are made as of the date hereof.
The Company takes no obligation to update or correct its own
forward-looking statements, except as required by law or those
prepared by third parties that are not paid by the Company.
