Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "likely" and "intend" and statements that an event or result "may", "will", "should", "could" or "might" occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In the press release, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding, the Company's performance, business objectives and milestones and the anticipated timing thereof; the appointment of Robert Hall as an officer of the Company and Frank Kordy as corporate secretary; and the intended use of proceeds from the Private Placement.
In making the forward-looking statements in this press release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation: the Company obtaining requisite regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other conditions to the consummation of objectives listed herein; the Company's ability to comply with all applicable regulations and laws, including environmental, health and safety laws; the Company's ability to meet the listing requirements of the CSE and OTCQB; the Company's ability to manufacture and sell its Beanfields products; the Company having sufficient working capital for future operating activities; the ability of the Company to achieve its business objectives and milestones and the anticipated timing of execution; the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; the Company's ability to achieve profitability in the 2023 fiscal year; the Company's ability to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for the business objectives outlined herein; the Company's ability to satisfy the terms and payment of finder's fee; and the Company's ability to obtain additional financing for continued operations on terms acceptable to the Company.
The above lists of forward-looking statements and assumptions are not exhaustive. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors and risks. These include: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; delays or the inability of the Company to obtain necessary permits, consents or authorizations required; changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting the Company's operations; currency fluctuations; environmental issues and liabilities; the Company's inability to continue to meet the listing requirements of the CSE and OTCQB; the inability of the Company to obtain additional financing for continued operations on terms acceptable to the Company; the lack of control over the Company's investees; risks relating to investing in the Common Shares; volatility in the market price of the Company's Common Shares; dilution of shareholders' holdings; negative operating cash flow; the negative effects of interest rate and exchange rate changes; the potential impact of health crises and market instability due to the COVID-19 pandemic; risks relating to the Company's reliance on key employees; limitations in the liquidity of the Common Shares; litigation risks; the Company's inability to expand into new business areas and geographic markets; management of growth; the risk of defaulting on existing debt; the Company's inability to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for the business objectives outlined herein; the participation by an insider in the First Tranche; the Company's inability to pay the finder's fee; and the Company's inability to continue as a going concern.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
