Factors that could cause the Company's results (and the Company’s estimates relating to the Recyte™ business) to differ
materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: 1) variation in demand and
acceptance of the Company's products and services, 2) the frequency, magnitude and timing of Recyte™ costs, revenues
and adoption by potential customers, 3) the renewal, expansion, or loss of the Company’s contracts with current
customers for SpecFUEL®1, 4) general business and economic conditions beyond the Company's control, 5) the
consequences of competitive factors in the marketplace including the ability to attract and retain customers, 6) results of

Recyte™ is versatile …
Recyte™ can be made into board material of varying
thickness and dimensions. It can be molded into curves,
arches, spheres, rectangles, or any 3-dimensional
shape. Recyte’s™ rigidity allows it to hold a shape,
meaning it can create interlocking elements for
structural purposes.
Recyte™ can be made for heavy-duty applications
(such as utility poles or railroad ties) or for lighter
applications (such as fiber board, particle board, or
packaging).
