anticipate our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 will differ significantly from the prior year, primarily
due to our acquisitions of Silver Fuels Delhi, LLC and White Claw Colorado City, LLC on August 1, 2022. As a result of these acquisitions,
we expect significant changes in our assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses, other income (expense), and net loss for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year. Additionally, our financial results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2023 will also differ significantly from the prior year, primarily due to: (i) our unrealized gains on marketable securities,
(ii) changes in our general and administrative expenses, (iii) changes in net loss attributed to noncontrolling interests, (iv) interest
expense. The exact amounts and the impact those amounts have on our financial statements will not be known until our financial statements
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are completed</FONT>.</P></TD></TR>
