Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1955. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Digital
Ally’s, Clover Leaf’s and Kustom Entertainment’s expectations with
respect to the proposed Business Combination between Clover Leaf
and Kustom Entertainment, including statements regarding the
benefits of the Business Combination, the anticipated timing of the
Business Combination, the implied valuation of Kustom
Entertainment, the products offered by Kustom Entertainment and the
markets in which it operates, and Kustom Entertainment’s projected
future results. Words such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,”
“opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,”
“will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions are
intended to indentify such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other
statements about future events that are based on current
expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual
results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of
these factors are outside of Digital Ally’s, Clover Leaf’s and
Kustom Entertainment’s control and are difficult to predict.
Factors that may cause actual future events to differ materially
from the expected results, include, but are not limited to: (i) the
risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely
manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Digital
Ally’s and Clover Leaf’s securities, (ii) the risk that the
Business Combination may not be completed by Clover Leaf’s business
combination deadline, even if extended by its stockholders, (iii)
the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business
combination deadline if sought by Clover Leaf; (iv) the failure to
satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business
Combination, including the adoption of the agreement and plan of
merger (“Merger Agreement”) by the stockholders of Clover Leaf, (v)
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that
could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (vi)
the failure to obtain any applicable regulatory approvals required
to consummate the Business Combination, (vii) the receipt of an
unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative transaction
that could interfere with the Business Combination, (viii) the
effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination
on Kustom Entertainment’s business relationships, performance, and
business generally, (ix) the inability to recognize the anticipated
benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by,
among other things, competition and the ability of the
post-combination company to grow and manage growth profitability
and retain its key employees, (x) costs related to the Business
Combination, (xi) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be
instituted against Kustom Entertainment or Clover Leaf following
the announcement of the proposed Business Combination, (xii) the
ability to maintain the listing of Clover Leaf’s securities on the
Nasdaq prior to the Business Combination, (xiii) the ability to
implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after
the completion of the proposed Business Combination, and identify
and realize additional opportunities, (xiv) the risk of downturns
and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive
industry in which Kustom Entertainment operates, (xv) the risk that
demand for Kustom Entertainment’s services may be decreased due to
a decrease in the number of large-scale sporting events, concerts
and theater shows, (xvi) the risk that any adverse changes in
Kustom Entertainment’s relationships with buyer, sellers and
distribution partners may adversely affect the business, financial
condition and results of operations, (xvii) the risk that changes
in Internet search engine algorithms and dynamics, or search engine
disintermediation, or changes in marketplace rules could have a
negative impact on traffic for Kustom Entertainment’s sites and
ultimately, its business and results of operations, (xviii) the
risk that any decrease in the willingness of artists, teams and
promoters to continue to support the secondary ticket market may
result in decreased demand for Kustom Entertainment’s services,
(xix) the risk that Kustom Entertainment is not able to maintain
and enhance its brand and reputation in its marketplace, adversely
affecting Kustom Entertainment’s business, financial condition and
results of operations, (xx) the risk of the occurrence of
extraordinary events, such as terrorist attacks, disease epidemics
or pandemics, severe weather events and natural disasters, (xxi)
the risk that because Kustom Entertainment’s operations are
seasonal and its results of operations vary from quarter to quarter
and year over year, its financial performance in certain financial
quarters or years may not be indicative of, or comparable to,
Kustom Entertainment’s financial performance in subsequent
financial quarters or years, (xxii) the risk that periods of rapid
growth and expansion could place a significant strain on Kustom
Entertainment’s resources, including its employee base, which could
negatively impact Kustom Entertainment’s operating results, (xxiii)
the risk that Kustom Entertainment may never achieve or sustain
profitability, (xxiv) the risk that Kustom Entertainment may need
to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which
many not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xxv) the risk
that third-parties suppliers and manufacturers are not able to
fully and timely meet their obligations, (xxvi) the risk that
Kustom Entertainment is unable to secure or protect its
intellectual property, (xxvii) the risk that the post-combination
company’s securities will not be approved for listing on Nasdaq or
if approved, maintain the listing and (xxviii) other risks and
uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement
and/or prospectus to be filed relating to the Business Combination.

Entertainment presently do not know or that Digital Ally and Kustom
Entertainment currently believe are immaterial that could also
cause results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
