In the event that the Corporation generates significant revenues in the future, the Corporation intends to retain its earnings in order to finance further growth. Furthermore, the Corporation has not paid any dividends in the past and does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Risk Disclosures and Fair Values
