ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below because they could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Also, you should be aware that the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not yet know of, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations and financial results. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

In assessing these risks you should also refer to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference to this Annual Report including our financial statements and the related notes.

RISKS RELATED TO BUSINESS

Our operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuations in them may cause volatility in the price of our shares.

Given the nature of the markets in which we compete, our revenues and profitability are difficult to predict for many reasons, including the following:

Engineering and production capacities that do not match demand for our products could result in lost sales or in a reduction in its gross margins. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand. We determine capacities based on our forecasts of demand for our products. Actual demand for our products depends on many factors, which make it difficult to forecast. We have experienced differences between our actual and our forecasted demand in the past and expect differences to arise in the future. The following problems could occur as a result of these differences:

If we do not timely introduce successful products, our business and operating results could suffer.

The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, short product life cycles and frequent new product introductions. As a result, we must continually introduce new products and technologies and enhance existing products in order to remain competitive. The success of our new products depends on several factors, including our ability to: (i) anticipate technology and market trends; (ii) timely develop innovative new products and enhancements; (iii) distinguish our products from those of our competitors; (iv) manufacture and deliver high-quality products; and (v) price our products competitively.

Our failure to manage growth could harm us.

We will rapidly and significantly expand the number and types of products we sell and we will endeavor to further expand our product portfolio. This expansion places a significant strain on our management, operations and engineering resources. Specifically, the areas that are strained most by our growth include the following:

To manage the growth of our operations, we will need to continue to improve our transaction processing, operational and financial systems, and procedures and controls to effectively manage the increased complexity. If we are unable to scale and improve them, the consequences could include delays in shipment of product, degradation in levels of customer support, lost sales and increased inventory. These difficulties could harm or limit our ability to expand.

If we do not compete effectively, demand for our products could decline and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our industry is intensely competitive. It is characterized by a trend of declining average selling prices in the market, and continual performance enhancements and new features, as well as rapid adoption of technological and product advancements by competitors in its market. Also, aggressive industry pricing practices and downward pressure on margins have resulted in increased price competition from both our primary competitors as well as from less established ones. If we do not continue to distinguish our products through distinctive, technologically advanced features, design and services, as well as continue to build and strengthen our brand recognition, our business could be harmed. If we do not otherwise compete effectively, demand for our products will decline, our gross margins could decrease, we would lose market share, and our revenues could decline.

We previously had significant economic and commercial reliance and dependence on Adient/Johnson Controls Inc. (“JCI”) as a major customer and while, as of the date of this Annual Report, management has determined that we may not be economically dependent on Adient/JCI, during fiscal year 2018 sales to and receivables owing from Adient/ JCI constituted a substantial portion of our revenue

In previous years, including fiscal year 2018, we have had significant economic and commercial reliance and dependence on Adient/ Johnson Controls Inc. (“JCI”). JCI was one our major customers after the recession of 2009 through 2010 during which some of our previous customers filed for bankruptcy or acquired by larger companies. Previously, management determined that we were not economically dependent upon Adient/JCI. During fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, D&R Technology received purchase orders from JCI in the amount of $390,848. and $2,469,471, respectively. During fiscal year 2018, approximately 22% of our sales and .02% of our receivables were attributable to Adient/JCI. And, during fiscal year 2017, approximately 41.78% sales and 85% of our receivables were attributable to Adient/ JCI. Therefore, as of the date of this Annual Report, management has determined that while we may not be economically dependent upon Adient/JCI, during fiscal year 2018, sales to and receivables owing from Adient/JCI constituted a smaller portion of our revenue. Although we recognized substantial revenue realized from sales to JCI during 2017, management remains of the belief that the decline in orders received from Adient/JCI in previous years did not adversely affect our revenues and operating results and, therefore, did not believe we were subject to significant financial risk in the event of the financial distress of Adient/JCI. This could change, however, during subsequent fiscal years.   

We depend on OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and contract manufacturers who may not have adequate capacity to fulfill our needs or may not meet our quality and delivery objectives.

Original component manufacturers and contractors produce key portions of our product lines. Our reliance on them involves significant risks, including reduced control over quality and logistics management, the potential lack of adequate capacity and discontinuance of the contractors’ assembly processes. Financial instability of our manufacturers or contractors could result in us having to find new suppliers, which could increase our costs and delay our product deliveries. These manufacturers and contractors may also choose to discontinue building our products for a variety of reasons. Consequently, we may experience delays in the timeliness, quality and adequacy in product deliveries, any of which could harm our business and operating results.

We purchase key components and products from single or limited sources, and our business and operating results could be harmed if supply were delayed or constrained or if there were shortages of required components.

Lead times for materials and components ordered by us or our contract manufacturers can vary significantly and depend on factors, such as the specific supplier, contract terms and demand for a component at a given time. We do not have any established contractual relations with our suppliers for key components. From time to time, we have experienced supply shortages and fluctuations in component prices. While we are trying to manage our component levels through the purchase of buffer stock, there is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain the inventory levels sufficient to meet our product demand. Currently, the shortages have not significantly impacted our product cost. In addition, we may be at risk for these components if our customers reject or cancel orders unexpectedly or with inadequate notice.

Shortages or interruptions in the supply of components or subcontracted products, or our inability to procure these components or products from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner could delay shipment of our products or increase our production costs, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

We purchase some products and some key components used in our products from single or limited sources. In particular, a significant portion of our controls systems is single-sourced and the Controls Unit in our products is provided by a single supplier. If the supply of these products or key components were to be delayed or constrained, we may be unable to find a new supplier on acceptable terms or at all or its new and existing product shipment could be delayed. Any of this could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

If we do not successfully coordinate the worldwide manufacturing and distribution of our product key components, we could lose sales.

Our business requires us to coordinate the manufacture and distribution of our product components over much of the world. We increasingly rely on third parties to manufacture our components and transport our products. On a worldwide basis, we will continue to evaluate and consider changes in both our international and domestic suppliers. If we do not successfully coordinate these changes and the timely manufacture and distribution of our components, we may have insufficient supply of products to meet customer demand and could lose sales, or we may experience a build-up in inventory.

The recent developments in the trade agreement between involving the United States, Mexico and Canada could have an adverse effect on our ability to export products out of Mexico and Canada into other countries, including the United States.

The United States- Mexico and Canada entered into a signed but unratified trade agreement called “The United States    -Mexico- Canada Agreement (“USMCA”) that will govern trade in North America. USMACA will have a big impact on many parts of the US economy. Compared to the previous NAFTA trade agreement, USMCA will increase environmental and labor regulations and will create incentives for more US production of cars and trucks and imposes a quota for Canadian and Mexico automotive production. Although management has determined that there have been no current immediate effects on our operations with respect to USMAC, management cannot predict future potentially adverse developments in the political climate involving the United States, Mexico and Canada and thus these may have an adverse and material impact on our operations and financial growth.

Our introduction of new product lines may consume significant resources and not result in significant future revenues.

We will continue to expand our product offerings with new product lines, such as Weld-Bend Systems and other products that are outside of our traditional areas of expertise. To accomplish this, we have committed resources to develop, sell and market these new products. With limited experience in these product lines and because these products may be based on technologies that are new to us, it may be difficult for us to accurately anticipate and forecast revenues, manufacturing costs, customer support costs and product returns. In addition, because the technologies may be new to us, we may have a greater risk of unknowingly infringing on proprietary technology. Our ongoing investments in the development and marketing of new lines of products could produce higher costs without a proportional increase in revenues.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary rights. Unauthorized use of our technology may result in the development of products that compete with our products.

Our future success depends in part on our proprietary technology, technical know-how and other intellectual property. We rely on intellectual property laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, such as nondisclosure terms, to protect our intellectual property. Others may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products, or design around our intellectual property rights. In addition, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our product or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are also increasing our reliance on technologies that we acquire from others. We rely on third parties for the automated control portion of the system. We purchase the computers’ logic component from Rockwell Automation and pay an annual fee to enable us to get updates/upgrades and technical support to the logic portion of the system. We may find it necessary or desirable in the future to obtain licenses or other rights relating to one or more of our products or to current or future technologies. These licenses or other rights may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Moreover, the use of intellectual property licensed from third parties may limit our ability to protect the proprietary rights in our products.

We may encounter difficulties with future acquisitions, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We have acquired and may continue to acquire companies that have products, personnel and technologies that complement our strategic direction and roadmap. Our acquisitions involve risks and uncertainties including: (i) difficulties in integrating the acquired company and its operations; (ii) diversion of management’s attention from the normal operations of business; (iii) potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired company; (iv) insufficient future revenues and profitability of the acquired company that could negatively impact our consolidated results; and (v) exposure to potential product quality issues, which could result in unanticipated contingent liabilities of the acquired company. Any of these and other factors could prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits of the acquisition and could adversely affect our business and operating results. Acquisitions are inherently risky and no assurance can be given.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SECURITIES

Because we have yet to comply with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters .

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as the rules enacted by the SEC and the national stock exchanges as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity and efficiency of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities which are listed on those exchanges. Because we have not presently complied with many of the corporate governance provisions, our stockholders have limited protections. Certain of these corporate governance provisions are as follows: (i) establishment of an audit committee charter and appointment of members to the audit committee; (ii) adoption of an ethics code; (iii) conduct analysis of our internal and financial control procedures; and (iv) establishment of a compensation committee. Management intends to address these issues within our organizational structure during fiscal year 2019 to ensure the best effective corporate governance and financial management. However, management has adopted certain corporate governance practices as follows: (i) adherence to a clear ethical basis within all business operations; (ii) alignment of business goals with such ethical basis; (iii) strategic management which incorporates shareholder value; (iv) identifying corporate organizational structure to effect good corporate governance; and (v) creating reporting systems to provide transparency and accountability.

Until we comply with the corporate governance measures adopted by the national securities exchanges after the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley Act, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions which may not be favorable to the shareholders, conflicts of interest and similar matters, and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds in the future if we determine it is necessary to raise additional capital. We intend to comply with all applicable corporate governance measures relating to director independence as soon as practicable.

D&R Technology failed to comply with Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 regarding registration of its shares of common stock issued to the shareholders of D Mecatronics in connection with the spin-off of D&R Technology.

In accordance with the five conditions listed in Section 4.A of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4 (September 16, 1977), the shares of stock issued by D&R Technology to the shareholders of D Mecatronics in connection with the spin-off of D&R Technology were required to be registered. On approximately November 10, 2011, D Mecatronics spun-off D&R Technology. D&R Technology subsequently issued shares of its restricted common stock to the shareholders of D Mecatronics on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their respective equity holdings in D Mecatronics. The equity percentages regarding the issuance of shares by D&R Technology were 48% to Berardino Paolucci, 24% to Drasko Karanovic and 28% to various shareholders (which shares are currently being held by D Mecatronics on behalf of these shareholders). The transfer agent for D Mecatronics at the time of the spin-off was Global Sentry Equity Transfer Inc. (“Global Sentry”). At the time of the spin-off, management of D Mecatronics had attempted on several occasions to contact Global Sentry with regards to its shareholder list and records. However, any and all attempts were to no avail. To date, D Mecatronics has not been able to obtain any of its records, including a shareholders list, from Global Sentry. Management has no knowledge or information as to the whereabouts of Global Sentry or its management nor of the location of its records and shareholders list. This has impeded the issuance of the shares of D&R Technology to the appropriate 28% minority shareholders of D Mecatronics and thus the reason why D Mecatronics is holding the shares in trust for the benefit of its shareholders. The majority shareholders of D Mecatronics and of D&R Technology were Messrs. Berardino Paolucci and Drakso Karanovic. The other minority shareholders represented only approximately 28% of the total shares issued and, thus, our management made a decision to proceed with the Share Exchange Agreement since it would be in the best interests of both our shareholders, then known as Ecoland International Inc., and the shareholders of D&R Technology. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued an aggregate of pre-reverse split 59,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock to the D&R Shareholders (which consisted of Messrs. Paolucci and Karanovic and D Mecatronics (which is holding the shares for the benefit of the remaining shareholders of D&R Technology) in exchange for 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of D&R Technology, thus making D&R Technology our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act imposes liability on persons who offer or sell securities in violation of the Securities Act’s registration requirements. Section 12(a)(1) allows purchasers to sue sellers for offering or selling a non-exempt security without registering it. D&R Technology, our wholly-owned subsidiary, could face civil liability from a shareholder for offering its shares of common stock to the shareholders of D Mecatronics without registering those shares in a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933. Moreover, Section 12(a)(1) further provides that as long as the shareholder can prove a direct link between the shareholder and D&R Technology, and the suit is within the statute of limitations, the shareholder may obtain rescission, interest or damages if the shareholder sells his securities for less than he purchased them.

Our management is currently attempting to solve the issue regarding the transfer agency records relating to D Mecatronics so that it can proceed with the issuances of our shares to the shareholders of D&R Technology in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement. The shares are currently being held by D Mecatronics in trust for the benefit of those shareholders.

New rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or maintain listing of our common stock .

We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board of directors committees required to provide for our effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal executive officers. The perceived personal risk associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.

Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or maintain the listing of our common stock on any stock exchange (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.

Our common stock price is subject to significant volatility, which could result in substantial losses for investors.

Prices for our shares are determined in the marketplace and may accordingly be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:

Additionally, the stock market often experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stock is traded. These market fluctuations could adversely affect our share trading price. The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Investors may be unable to sell their shares of common stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses.

Future sales of shares of our common stock by our shareholders could cause our stock price to decline.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the effectiveness of a registration statement, or upon the expiration of any holding period under Rule 144, such sales could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for the Corporation to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time or price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. The shares of common stock issued in the Share Exchange Agreement will be freely tradable upon the earlier of (i) effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such shares; or (ii) the date on which such shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the sale of such shares could have a negative impact on the price of its common stock.

We may issue additional shares of our capital stock or debt securities to raise capital or complete acquisitions, which could dilute the equity interest of our stockholders.

As of the date of this Annual Report, there are approximately 445,703,359    authorized and unissued shares of our common stock which have not been reserved and are available for future issuance. We did not issue any shares of our common stock during fiscal year 2018.

Although we have no present commitments to issue our equity securities, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock to complete a business combination or to raise capital. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock:

We have the authority and ability to issue preferred shares of stock and to designate the respective rights and preferences.

When designated by the Board of Directors, the rights of the preferred stock could negatively affect holders of common stock and make it more difficult to effect a change of control . As of the date of this Annual Report, the Board of Directors has designated 100 shares Series A preferred stock and 49,999,900 shares Series B preferred stock. The Board of Directors is authorized by our articles of incorporation to create and issue preferred stock. Certain of the rights of holders of preferred stock will take precedence over the rights of holders of common stock and may be entitled to a preference upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The shares could be convertible voluntarily at the election of the holder. See “Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchasers of Equity Securities – Description of Securities.”

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have issued 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Since all of our shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding, we will need to amend our Articles of Incorporation to create further blank check preferred shares. We will need to obtain shareholder approval to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of preferred stock. If and when our Articles of Incorporation are amended and as future tranches of capital are received by us, additional preferred stock may be issued which such terms and preferences as are determined in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. The rights of future preferred stockholders could delay, defer or prevent a change of control, even if the holders of common stock are in favor of that change of control, as well as enjoy preferential treatment on matters like distributions, liquidation preferences and voting.

Our officers and directors and insiders own approximately 92.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and 100% of the shares of Series B preferred stock, and will be able to influence control of us or decisions made by our management. As of the date of this Annual Report, our officers, directors and insiders own approximately 92.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and 100% of the shares of our Series B preferred stock and will be able to influence control of us or decision making by our management. Moreover, in the event future issuances of common stock are authorized by the Board of Directors pursuant to any future contractual relations, the officers, directors and insiders’ control of us will increase. This may result in majority control of the voting power for all business decisions. See “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”.

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business and reputation.

As a public reporting company, we are in a continuing process of developing, establishing, and maintaining internal controls and procedures that will allow our management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the internal controls over financial reporting if and when required to do so under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management will be required to report on internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404. If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of internal controls, we would not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating. Moreover, our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, that must be performed may reveal other material weaknesses or that the material weaknesses described above have not been fully remediated. If we do not remediate the material weaknesses described above, or if other material weaknesses are identified or we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, our reported financial results could be materially misstated or could subsequently require restatement, we could receive an adverse opinion regarding our internal controls over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm and we could be subject to investigations or sanctions by regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources, and the market price of our stock could decline.

The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The penny stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:

Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following:

In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

Due to the requirements of penny stock rules, many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks. As a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, that could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. Moreover, if our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits.

Nevada law provides that our officers and directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Our Bylaws permit us broad indemnification powers to all persons against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

Broker-Dealer requirements may affect trading and liquidity.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be “penny stocks.” Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

We have not paid, and do not intend to pay, cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Dividend payments in the future may also be limited by other loan agreements or covenants contained in other securities which we may issue. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.
