More particularly, and without limitation, this news release
contains forward-looking statements and information concerning
expectations on the viability, effectiveness, safety and any
potential production and additional commercialization related to
the battery fire extinguishing agent which is at an early stage of
development and commercialization (which is very difficult for a
start-up venture like FCL as there are much larger and better
capitalized established companies that can potentially quickly
enter the lithium-ion battery fire-fighting market and create
strong competition against FCL), on receiving patent protection for
this fire-extinguishing agent and related inventions and processes,
the ability of FCL, a start-up venture, to successfully
commercialize its fire-extinguishing agent including ramping-up
production of the agent to meet potential demand, continue raising
capital, upgrading and refurbishing its plant, and sourcing
feedstock for its lines of business. Such forward-looking
