+Added: Our current focus in the renewable energy sector will
+Added: rely heavily on our management teams market knowledge.
+Added: We management does have operating history with respect to this new corporate direction
+Added: we have to identify, acquire and operate a new line of business.
+Added: As a result, we may not be able to achieve sustained financial or operational

+Added: We will seek to make additional acquisitions in the
+Added: future to increase our revenue.
+Added: This growth strategy involves significant risks.
There is significant competition for acquisition targets in our markets.
−Removed: Consequently, we
−Removed: may not be able to identify suitable acquisitions or may have difficulty finding attractive businesses for acquisition at reasonable
−Removed: If we are unable to identify future acquisition opportunities, reach agreement with such third parties or obtain the financing
−Removed: necessary to make such acquisitions, we could lose market share to competitors who are able to make such acquisitions.
−Removed: This loss of market
−Removed: share could negatively impact our business, revenues and future growth.
−Removed: acquisition we make exposes us to risks.
−Removed: acquisition we make carries risks which could result in an adverse effect on our financial condition.
−Removed: These risks include:
−Removed: of our attention from normal daily operations of our vending business to acquiring and assimilating new businesses;
−Removed: use of substantial portions of any cash we have available;
−Removed: to understand the needs and behaviors of users for a newly acquired business or other product;
−Removed: or overlap between existing products and services, on the one hand, and acquired products and services, on the other hand;
−Removed: assimilating operations, technologies, products and policies of acquired businesses;
−Removed: liabilities, including unknown and contingent liabilities, of acquired businesses.
−Removed: we are unable to develop and market new product offerings or fail to predict or respond to emerging trends, our revenue and any profitability
−Removed: future success will depend in part on our ability to modify or enhance our product offerings marketed through our vending kiosks to meet
−Removed: user’s demands.
−Removed: If we are unable to predict preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our product offerings
−Removed: in a timely manner, we may lose revenue.
−Removed: New products may be dependent upon our ability to enter into new relationship with suppliers,
−Removed: which we may not be able to obtain in a timely manner, upon terms acceptable to us, or at all.
−Removed: We spend significant resources developing
−Removed: and enhancing our product offerings.
−Removed: However, new or enhanced
−Removed: product offerings may not be accepted by customers.
−Removed: If we are unable to successfully source and market new product offerings in a timely
−Removed: and cost-effective manner, our revenue and any profitability will suffer.
−Removed: we fail to develop and diversify product offerings, we could lose market share.
−Removed: market for selling products through vending kiosks has a low barrier to entry which creates a high level of competition.
−Removed: To remain competitive,
−Removed: we must continue to find, market, and sell new products through our vending kiosks.
−Removed: The time, expense and effort associated with such
−Removed: development may be greater than anticipated, and any products actually introduced by us may not achieve consumer acceptance.
−Removed: our efforts to meet changing customer needs may require the development or licensing of products at great expense.
−Removed: If we are unable to
−Removed: develop and bring to market additional products, we could lose market share to competitors, which could negatively impact our business,
−Removed: revenues and future growth.
−Removed: increased security risks of online advertising and e-commerce may cause us to incur significant expenses and may negatively impact our
−Removed: credibility and business.
−Removed: significant prerequisite of online commerce, advertising, and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over
−Removed: public networks.
−Removed: Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet, consumer identity theft and user privacy have
−Removed: been significant barriers to growth in consumer use of the Internet, online advertising, and e-commerce.
−Removed: A significant portion of our
−Removed: sales is billed directly to our customers’
−Removed: credit card accounts.
−Removed: We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from
−Removed: third parties to effect secure transmission of confidential information.
−Removed: Encryption technology scrambles information being transmitted
−Removed: through a channel of communication to help ensure that the channel is secure even when the underlying system and network infrastructure
−Removed: may not be secure.
−Removed: Authentication technologies, the simplest example of which is a password, help to ensure that an individual user is
−Removed: who he or she claims to be by “authenticating”
−Removed: or validating the individual’s identity and controlling that individual’s
−Removed: access to resources.
−Removed: Despite our implementation of security measures, however, our computer systems may be potentially susceptible to
−Removed: electronic or physical computer break-ins, viruses and other disruptive harms and security breaches.
−Removed: Advances in computer capabilities,
−Removed: new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may specifically compromise our security measures.
−Removed: Any perceived or
−Removed: actual unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information regarding website visitors, whether through breach of our network
−Removed: by an unauthorized party, employee theft or misuse, or otherwise, could harm our reputation and brands, substantially impair our ability
−Removed: to attract and retain our customers, or subject us to claims or litigation arising from damages suffered by consumers, and thereby harm
−Removed: our business and operating results.
−Removed: If consumers experience identity theft after using any of our services, we may be exposed to liability,
−Removed: adverse publicity and damage to our reputation.
−Removed: To the extent that identity theft gives rise to reluctance to use our websites or a decline
−Removed: in consumer confidence in financial transactions over the Internet, our businesses could be adversely affected.
−Removed: Alleged or actual breaches
−Removed: of the network of one of our business partners or competitors whom consumers associate with us could also harm our reputation and brands.
−Removed: In addition, we could incur significant costs in complying with the multitude of state, federal and foreign laws regarding the unauthorized
−Removed: disclosure of personal information.
−Removed: For example, California law requires companies that maintain data on California residents to inform
−Removed: individuals of any security breaches that result in their personal information being stolen.
−Removed: Because our success depends on the acceptance
−Removed: of online services and e-commerce, we may incur significant costs to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate
−Removed: problems caused by such breaches.
−Removed: Internet fraud has been increasing over the past few years, and fraudulent online transactions, should
−Removed: they continue to increase in prevalence, could also adversely affect the customer experience and therefore our business, operating results
−Removed: and financial condition.
−Removed: depend on key management, product management, technical and marketing personnel for continued success.
−Removed: success and future growth depend, to a significant degree, on the skills and continued services of our management team, including Andrew
−Removed: Boutsikakis, our President and Chief Executive Officer.
−Removed: Our ongoing success also depends on our ability to identify, hire and retain
−Removed: skilled and qualified technical and marketing personnel in a highly competitive employment market.
−Removed: As we develop and acquire new products
−Removed: and services, we will need to hire additional employees.
−Removed: Our inability to attract and retain well-qualified managerial, technical and
−Removed: sales and marketing personnel may have a negative effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
−Removed: may be required to seek additional funding, and such funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
−Removed: may seek additional funding, however due to a number of factors beyond our expectations or control, including a shortfall in revenue,
−Removed: increased expenses, a need for working capital for growth, increased investment in capital equipment or the acquisition of businesses,
−Removed: services or technologies.
−Removed: The required funding may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
−Removed: If we are unable to obtain sufficient
−Removed: funding, our business would be harmed.
−Removed: Even if we were able to find outside funding sources, we might be required to issue securities
−Removed: in a transaction that could be highly dilutive to our investors or we may be required to issue securities with greater rights than the
−Removed: securities we have outstanding today.
−Removed: We may also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of our common stock,
−Removed: including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to us.
−Removed: If we are unable to generate or raise capital that is sufficient to
−Removed: fund our operations, we may be required to curtail operations, reduce our services, defer or cancel expansion or acquisition plans or
−Removed: cease operations in certain jurisdictions or completely.
−Removed: termination, non-renewal or renegotiation on materially adverse terms of our contracts or relationships with one or more of our significant
−Removed: host locations, product suppliers and partners could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: success of our business depends in large part on our ability to maintain contractual relationships with our host locations in profitable
−Removed: Our typical host location agreement ranges from one to three years and automatically renews until we or the host retailer
−Removed: gives notice of termination.
−Removed: Certain contract provisions with our host locations vary, including product and service offerings, the commission
−Removed: fees we are committed to pay each host location, and the ability to cancel the contract upon notice after a certain period of time.
−Removed: strive to provide direct and indirect benefits to our host locations that are superior to, or competitive with, other providers or systems
−Removed: or alternative uses of the floor space that our kiosks occupy.
−Removed: If we are unable to provide our host retailers with adequate benefits,
−Removed: we may be unable to maintain or renew our contractual relationships on acceptable terms, causing our business, financial condition and
−Removed: results of operations to suffer.
−Removed: depend upon third-party manufacturers, suppliers and service providers for our kiosks.
−Removed: depend on outside parties to manufacture our kiosks.
−Removed: We intend to continue to expand our installed base of kiosks.
−Removed: Such expansion may
−Removed: be limited by the manufacturing capacity of our third-party manufacturers and suppliers.
−Removed: Third-party manufacturers may not be able to
−Removed: meet our manufacturing needs in a satisfactory and timely manner.
−Removed: If there is an unanticipated increase in demand for our kiosks or our
−Removed: manufacturing needs are not met in a timely and satisfactory manner, we may be unable to meet demand due to manufacturing limitations
−Removed: which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: addition, we rely on third-party service providers for substantial support and service efforts that we currently do not provide directly.
−Removed: Any failure by us to maintain our existing support and service relationships or to establish new relationships on a timely basis or on
−Removed: acceptable terms could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: in our supply chain and other factors affecting the distribution of our products could adversely impact our business.
−Removed: disruption within our supply chain network could adversely affect our ability to deliver inventory in a timely manner, which could impair
−Removed: our ability to meet customer demand for products and result in lost sales, increased costs or damage to our reputation.
−Removed: Such disruptions
−Removed: may result from damage or destruction to our warehouse facility;
−Removed: weather-related events;
−Removed: natural disasters;
−Removed: third-party strikes, lock-outs,
−Removed: work stoppages or slowdowns;
−Removed: supply or shipping interruptions or costs;
−Removed: or other factors beyond our control.
−Removed: Any such disruption could
−Removed: negatively impact our financial performance or financial condition.
−Removed: We procured all our merchandise of inventory of finished goods ice
−Removed: cream from one vendor during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
−Removed: we cannot execute on our strategy and offer new automated retail products and services.
−Removed: strategy is based upon leveraging our core competencies in the automated retail space and relationships with certain potential distribution
−Removed: points to provide the consumer with convenience and value and to help retailers drive incremental traffic and revenue.
−Removed: To be competitive,
−Removed: we need to develop, or otherwise provide, new product and service offerings that are accepted by the market and establish third-party
−Removed: relationships necessary to develop and commercialize such product and service offerings.
−Removed: We are exploring new businesses to enter, and
−Removed: new products and services to offer, however, the complexities and structures of these new businesses could create conflicting priorities,
−Removed: constrain limited resources, and negatively impact our core businesses.
−Removed: We may use our financial resources and managements’
−Removed: and focus to invest in other companies offering automated retail services, or we may seek to grow businesses organically, or we may seek
−Removed: to offer new products on our current kiosks.
−Removed: We may enter into joint ventures through which we may expand our product offerings.
−Removed: significant relationships with certain professional sports organizations which is an important part of our growth strategy.
−Removed: Our dependence
−Removed: on these relationships is critical to our future business success.
−Removed: Should we have problems or lose these relationships we would be at
−Removed: Any new business opportunity also may have its own unique risks related to operations, finances, intellectual property, technology,
−Removed: legal and regulatory issues, corporate governance or other challenges, for which we may have limited or no prior experience.
−Removed: if we fail to timely establish or maintain relationships with significant retailers and suppliers, we may not be able to provide our
−Removed: consumers with desirable new products and services.
−Removed: Further, in order to develop and commercialize certain new products and services,
−Removed: we will need to create new kiosks or enhance the capabilities of our current kiosks, as well as adapt our related networks and systems
−Removed: through appropriate technological solutions and establish market acceptance of such products or services.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that new
−Removed: products or services that we provide will be successful or profitable.
−Removed: to adequately comply with information security policies or to safeguard against breaches of such policies could adversely affect our
−Removed: operations and could damage our business, reputation, financial position and results of operations.
−Removed: our business expands to provide new products and services, we are increasing the amount of consumer data that we collect, transfer and
−Removed: retain as part of our business.
−Removed: These activities are subject to laws and regulations, as well as industry standards, in the United States
−Removed: and other jurisdictions in which our products and services are available.
−Removed: These requirements, which often differ materially and sometimes
−Removed: conflict among the many jurisdictions in which we operate, are designed to protect the privacy of consumers’
−Removed: personal information
−Removed: and to prevent that information from being inappropriately used or disclosed.
−Removed: We maintain and review technical and operational safeguards
−Removed: designed to protect this information and generally require third party vendors and others with whom we work to do so as well.
−Removed: despite those safeguards, it is possible that hackers, employees acting contrary to our policies, third-party agents or others could
−Removed: improperly access relevant systems or improperly obtain or disclose data about our consumers, or that we may be determined not to be
−Removed: in compliance with applicable legal requirements and industry standards for data security, such as the Payment Card Industry guidelines.
−Removed: A breach or purported breach of relevant security policies that compromises consumer data or determination of non-compliance with applicable
−Removed: legal requirements or industry standards for data security could expose us to regulatory enforcement actions, card association or other
−Removed: monetary fines or sanctions, or contractual liabilities, limit our ability to provide our products and services, subject us to legal
−Removed: action and related costs and damage our business reputation, financial position, and results of operations.
−Removed: arbitration, mediation, regulatory actions, investigations or other legal proceedings could result in material rulings, decisions, settlements,
−Removed: fines, penalties or publicity that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: industry has in the past been, and may in the future continue to be, party to class actions, regulatory actions, investigations, arbitration,
−Removed: mediation and other legal proceedings.
+Added: Consequently, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisitions
+Added: or may have difficulty finding attractive businesses for acquisition at reasonable prices.
+Added: If we are unable to identify future acquisition
+Added: opportunities, reach agreement with such third parties or obtain the financing necessary to make such acquisitions, we could lose market
+Added: share to competitors who are able to make such acquisitions.

The outcome of such proceedings is often difficult to assess or quantify.
−Removed: Plaintiffs, regulatory
−Removed: bodies or other parties may seek very large or indeterminate amounts of money from us or substantial restrictions on our business activities,
−Removed: and the results, including the magnitude, of lawsuits, actions, settlements, decisions and investigations may remain unknown for substantial
−Removed: periods of time.
−Removed: The cost to defend, settle or otherwise finalize lawsuits, regulatory actions, investigations, arbitrations, mediations
−Removed: or other legal proceedings may be significant and such proceedings may divert management’s time.
−Removed: In addition, there may be adverse
−Removed: publicity associated with any such developments that could decrease consumer acceptance of our products and services.
−Removed: As a result, litigation,
−Removed: arbitration, mediation, regulatory actions or investigations involving us may adversely affect our business, financial condition and
−Removed: results of operations.
−Removed: are subject to substantial federal, state, local and foreign laws and government regulation specific to our business.
−Removed: business is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and government regulation, including those relating to copyright law, federal
−Removed: and state laws around CBD, access to kiosks in public places, consumer privacy and protection, data protection and information security,
−Removed: taxes, vehicle safety, weights and measures, payment cards and other payment instruments, food and beverages, sweepstakes, and contests.
−Removed: The application of existing laws and regulations, changes in laws or enactment of new laws and regulations, that apply, or may in the
−Removed: future apply, to our current or future products or services, changes in governmental authorities’
−Removed: interpretation of the application
−Removed: of various government regulations to our business, or the failure or inability to gain and retain required permits and approvals could
−Removed: materially and adversely affect our business.
−Removed: This includes laws surrounding the use of CBD related products.
−Removed: addition, many jurisdictions require us to obtain certain licenses in connection with the operations of our businesses.
−Removed: no assurance that we will be granted all necessary licenses or permits in the future, that current licenses or permits will be renewed
−Removed: or that regulators will not revoke current licenses or permits.
−Removed: Given the unique nature of our business and new products and services
−Removed: we may develop or acquire in the future, the application of various laws and regulations to our business is uncertain.
−Removed: Further, as governmental
−Removed: and regulatory scrutiny and action with regard to many aspects of our business increase, we expect that our costs of complying with the
−Removed: applicable legal requirements may increase, perhaps substantially.
−Removed: to comply with these laws and regulations could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or permits, loss of approved
−Removed: status, termination of contracts, administrative enforcement actions and fines, class action lawsuits, cease and desist orders and civil
−Removed: and criminal liability.
−Removed: The occurrence of one or more of these events, as well as the increased cost of compliance, could materially
−Removed: adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: we cannot manage our growth effectively, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: we begin to scale our business we may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could have a material
−Removed: adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: For example, we may, among other things, over-install
−Removed: kiosks in certain geographic areas leading to non-accretive installations, and we cannot be certain that historical revenue experience
−Removed: for new kiosks will be sustainable in the future.
−Removed: growth may place significant demands on our operational, financial and administrative infrastructure and our management.
−Removed: As our operations
−Removed: grow in size, scope and complexity, we anticipate the need to integrate, as appropriate, and improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure,
−Removed: both those relating to providing attractive and efficient consumer products and services and those relating to our administration and
−Removed: internal systems, processes and controls.
−Removed: This integration and expansion of our administration, processes, systems and infrastructure
−Removed: may require us to commit and will continue to cause us to commit, substantial financial, operational and technical resources to managing
−Removed: our business.
−Removed: our growth will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable management and operational resources.
−Removed: If we fail to achieve
−Removed: the necessary level of efficiency in our organization, including otherwise effectively growing our business lines, our business, operating
−Removed: results and financial condition could be harmed.
−Removed: may not have the ability to pay interest on our Notes, to repurchase the convertible notes upon a fundamental change or to settle conversions
−Removed: of the Notes, as may be required.
−Removed: a fundamental change occurs under the indenture governing our Notes, holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase, for cash, all
−Removed: or a portion of their Notes.
−Removed: In addition, upon satisfaction of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control,
−Removed: such as market price or trading price) and proper conversion of the Notes by a holder, we will be required to make cash payments.
−Removed: on the amount and timing of the payment requirements, we may not have been able to meet all of the obligations relating to Note conversions,
−Removed: which could have had a material adverse effect.
−Removed: if we fail to pay interest on, carry out the fundamental change repurchase obligations relating to, or make payments (including cash)
−Removed: upon conversion of, the Notes, we will be in default under the indenture governing the Notes.
−Removed: A default under the indenture or the fundamental
−Removed: change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness.
−Removed: If the repayment of indebtedness
−Removed: were to be accelerated, including after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not, among other things, have sufficient funds
−Removed: to repay indebtedness or pay interest on, carry out our repurchase obligations relating to, or make cash payments upon conversion of,
−Removed: of our convertible notes into common stock will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
−Removed: satisfaction of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control, such as market price or trading price) and
−Removed: proper conversion of the Notes by a holder, we may be required to deliver shares of our common stock to a converting holder.
−Removed: If additional
−Removed: shares of our common stock are issued due to conversion of some or all of the outstanding Notes, the ownership interests of existing
−Removed: stockholders will be diluted.
−Removed: Further, any sales in the public market of any shares of common stock issued upon conversion or hedging
−Removed: or arbitrage trading activity that develops due to the potential conversion of the Notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices
−Removed: of our common stock.
−Removed: pressures could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: nature and extent of consolidations and bankruptcies, which often occur during or as a result of economic downturns, in markets where
−Removed: we install our kiosks, particularly the supermarket and other retailing industries, could adversely affect our operations, including
−Removed: our competitive position, as the number of installations and potential retail users of our kiosks could be significantly reduced.

+Added: and foreign laws and government regulation, including those relating to copyright law, federal and state laws around rare earths and the
+Added: renewable energy sector, The application of existing laws and regulations, changes in laws or enactment of new laws and regulations, that
+Added: apply, or may in the future apply, to our current or future products or services, changes in governmental authorities’
+Added: interpretation
+Added: of the application of various government regulations to our business, or the failure or inability to gain and retain required permits
+Added: and approvals could materially and adversely affect our business.
+Added: In addition, many jurisdictions require us to
+Added: obtain certain licenses in connection with the operations of our businesses.
+Added: There can be no assurance that we will be granted all necessary
+Added: licenses or permits in the future, that current licenses or permits will be renewed or that regulators will not revoke current licenses
+Added: Given the unique nature of our business and new products and services we may develop or acquire in the future, the application
+Added: of various laws and regulations to our business is uncertain.
+Added: Further, as governmental and regulatory scrutiny and action with regard
+Added: to many aspects of our business increase, we expect that our costs of complying with the applicable legal requirements may increase, perhaps
+Added: substantially.
+Added: Failure to comply with these laws and regulations
+Added: could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or permits, loss of approved status, termination of contracts, administrative
+Added: enforcement actions and fines, class action lawsuits, cease and desist orders and civil and criminal liability.
+Added: The occurrence of one
+Added: or more of these events, as well as the increased cost of compliance, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: If we cannot manage our growth effectively,
+Added: we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: As we begin to scale our business we may make
+Added: errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations-
+Added: This growth may place significant demands on our
+Added: operational, financial and administrative infrastructure and our management.
+Added: As our operations grow in size, scope and complexity, we
+Added: anticipate the need to integrate, as appropriate, and improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure, both those relating to providing
+Added: attractive and efficient consumer products and services and those relating to our administration and internal systems, processes and controls.
+Added: This integration and expansion of our administration, processes, systems and infrastructure may require us to commit and will continue
+Added: to cause us to commit, substantial financial, operational and technical resources to managing our business.
+Added: Managing our growth will require significant expenditures
+Added: and allocation of valuable management and operational resources.
+Added: If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization,
+Added: including otherwise effectively growing our business lines, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.
+Added: We may not have the ability to pay interest
+Added: on our Notes, to repurchase the convertible notes upon a fundamental change or to settle conversions of the Notes, as may be required.
+Added: If a fundamental change occurs under the indenture
+Added: governing our Notes, holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or a portion of their Notes.
+Added: In addition, upon satisfaction
+Added: of certain conversion conditions (including conditions outside of our control, such as market price or trading price) and proper conversion
+Added: of the Notes by a holder, we will be required to make cash payments.
+Added: Depending on the amount and timing of the payment requirements, we
+Added: may not have been able to meet all of the obligations relating to Note conversions, which could have had a material adverse effect.
+Added: Further, if we fail to pay interest on, carry
+Added: out the fundamental change repurchase obligations relating to, or make payments (including cash) upon conversion of, the Notes, we will
+Added: be in default under the indenture governing the Notes.
+Added: A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead
+Added: to a default under agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness.
+Added: If the repayment of indebtedness were to be accelerated,
+Added: including after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not, among other things, have sufficient funds to repay indebtedness or
+Added: pay interest on, carry out our repurchase obligations relating to, or make cash payments upon conversion of, the Notes.
+Added: Conversion of our convertible notes into common
+Added: stock will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
+Added: Upon satisfaction of certain conversion conditions
+Added: (including conditions outside of our control, such as market price or trading price) and proper conversion of the Notes by a holder, we
+Added: may be required to deliver shares of our common stock to a converting holder.
+Added: If additional shares of our common stock are issued due
+Added: to conversion of some or all of the outstanding Notes, the ownership interests of existing stockholders will be diluted.
+Added: sales in the public market of any shares of common stock issued upon conversion or hedging or arbitrage trading activity that develops
+Added: due to the potential conversion of the Notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
+Added: Competitive pressures could seriously harm
+Added: our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: The nature and extent of consolidations and bankruptcies,
+Added: which often occur during or as a result of economic downturns, in markets where we install our kiosks, particularly the supermarket and
+Added: other retailing industries, could adversely affect our operations, including our competitive position, as the number of installations
+Added: and potential retail users of our kiosks could be significantly reduced.
+Added: See the risk factor below entitled, “Events outside of
+Added: our control, including the current economic environment, has negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, consumers’
use of our products and services.”
−Removed: business can be adversely affected by severe weather, natural disasters and other events beyond our control, such as earthquakes, fires,
−Removed: power failures, telecommunication loss and terrorist attacks.
−Removed: catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems could
−Removed: harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and our operating results.
−Removed: While we have taken steps to protect the security of
−Removed: critical business processes and systems and have established certain back-up systems and disaster recovery procedures, any disruptions,
−Removed: whether due to inadequate back-up or disaster recovery planning, failures of information technology systems, interruptions in the communications
−Removed: network, or other factors, could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: addition, our operational and financial performance is a direct reflection of consumer use of and the ability to operate and service
−Removed: our kiosks used in our business.
−Removed: Severe weather, natural disasters and other events beyond our control can, for extended periods of time,
−Removed: significantly reduce consumer use of our products and services as well as interrupt the ability of our employees and third-party providers
−Removed: to operate and service our kiosks.
−Removed: failure to meet consumer expectations with respect to pricing our products and services may adversely affect our business and results
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: for our products and services may be sensitive to pricing changes.
−Removed: We evaluate and update our pricing strategies from time to time and
−Removed: changes we institute may have a significant impact on, among other things, our revenue and net income (loss).
−Removed: may be unable to attract new host locations, broaden current host relationships, and penetrate new markets and distribution channels.
−Removed: order to increase our kiosk installations, we need to attract new host locations, broaden relationships with current host locations,
−Removed: and develop operational efficiencies that make it feasible for us to penetrate low density markets and new distribution channels.
−Removed: may be unable to attract host locations or drive down costs relating to the manufacture, installation or servicing of our kiosks to levels
−Removed: that would enable us to operate profitably in lower density markets or penetrate new distribution channels.
−Removed: If we are unable to do so,
−Removed: our future financial performance could be adversely affected.
−Removed: of increased fees to host locations or other third-party service providers could negatively affect our business results.
−Removed: face ongoing pricing pressure from our host locations to increase the commission fees we pay to them on our products and services or
−Removed: to make other financial concessions to win or retain their business.
−Removed: If we are unable to respond effectively to ongoing pricing-related
−Removed: pressures, we may fail to win or retain certain accounts.
−Removed: Our fee arrangements are based on our evaluation of unique factors with each
−Removed: host retailer, such as total revenue, long-term, non-cancelable contracts, installation of our kiosks in high-traffic, geographic locations
−Removed: and new product and service commitments.
−Removed: Together with other factors, an increase in service fees paid, or other financial concessions
−Removed: made, to our host retailers could significantly increase our direct operating expenses in future periods and harm our business.
−Removed: outside of our control, including the current economic environment, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect,
−Removed: consumers’
−Removed: use of our products and services.
−Removed: consumers’
−Removed: use of many of our products and services is dependent on discretionary spending, which is affected by, among other things,
−Removed: economic and political conditions, consumer confidence, interest and tax rates, and financial and housing markets.
−Removed: With economic uncertainty
−Removed: still affecting potential consumers, we may be impacted by more conservative purchasing tendencies with fewer non-essential products
−Removed: and services purchased during the coming periods if the current economic environment continues.
−Removed: In addition, because our business relies
−Removed: in part on consumers initially visiting host locations to purchase products and services that are not necessarily our products and services,
−Removed: if consumers are visiting host retailers less frequently and being more careful with their money when they do, these tendencies may also
−Removed: negatively impact our business.
−Removed: Further, our ability to obtain additional funding in the future, if and as needed, through equity issuances
−Removed: or loans, or otherwise meet our current obligations to third parties, could be adversely affected if the economic environment continues
−Removed: to be difficult.
−Removed: In addition, the ability of third parties to honor their obligations to us could be negatively impacted, as host retailers,
−Removed: suppliers and other parties deal with the difficult economic environment.
−Removed: Finally, there may be consequences that will ultimately result
−Removed: from the current economic conditions that are not yet known, and any one or more of these unknown consequences (as well as those currently
−Removed: being experienced) could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and liquidity, as well
−Removed: as our business generally.
−Removed: future operating results may fluctuate.
−Removed: future operating results will depend significantly on our ability to continue to drive new and repeat use of our kiosks, our ability
−Removed: to develop and commercialize new products and services, and our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and other third-party
−Removed: relationships into our operations.
−Removed: Our operating results could fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate based upon many factors, including:
−Removed: in revenue generated by kiosk businesses and our wholesale distributors;
−Removed: in operating expenses, such as transaction fees and commissions we pay to our host locations;
−Removed: ability to establish or maintain effective relationships with significant partners, host locations and suppliers on acceptable terms;
−Removed: amount of service fees that we pay to our host locations;
−Removed: transaction fees we charge consumers to use our services;
−Removed: commercial success of our host locations, which could be affected by such factors as general economic conditions, severe weather
−Removed: successful use and integration of assets and businesses acquired or invested in;
−Removed: level of product or price competition;
−Removed: timing and cost of, and our ability to develop and successfully commercialize, new or enhanced products and services;
−Removed: of, and acquisitions or announcements by, competitors;
−Removed: impact from any impairment of inventory, goodwill, fixed assets or intangibles related to our acquisitions and divestitures.
