A summary of the other material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is set out in Section 6.11.

3.8 Impact of the Offer on your shareholding and possible dilutive effect

If Eligible Shareholders take up all of their entitlements under the Offer, which will include any new Shareholders that acquired Shares as part of the Placements, Eligible Shareholders will hold the same percentage interest in the Company as they did immediately prior to completion of the Offer. However, to the extent that any Shareholder fails to take up their full Entitlement to New Shares under the Offer, and Ineligible Shareholders are unable to participate in the Offer, that Shareholder’s percentage holding in the Company will be diluted.

Please refer to Section 3.9 for detail of the effect of the Offer on voting power in the Company.

3.9 Effect of Offer on Voting Power in the Company

As the acquisition of Shares under the Offer does not satisfy the requirements of exception 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, no person (including the Underwriter or any subunderwriter) will be entitled to acquire Shares pursuant to the Offer if to do so would result in their, or another person's, Voting Power in the Company increasing from 20% or below to more than 20%, or from a starting point above 20% to below 90%, unless an exception to the restrictions contained in section 606 of the Corporations Act applies.

Accordingly, as there are currently no exceptions to the restrictions contained in section 606 of the Corporations Act and in light of the size of the Offer, the Offer is not expected to have any material effect or consequence on the control of the Company.

Please note, however, that the Placements will have an impact on the control of the Company. Detail of the control implications are set out below.

The following table set out the possible effects of the Offer on the Existing Shareholders and Underwriter's or any sub-underwriters' Voting Power in the Company on completion of the Offer, under three potential scenarios (depending on the level of Acceptances received pursuant to the Offer).

The below table assumes that no Shareholder takes up any New Shares as part of the underwriting arrangement with the Underwriter.

Whether the Underwriter are required to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and, therefore, any consequential increase in their Voting Power in the Company on the close of the Offer, is dependent on the size of the Shortfall (if any), the number of New Shares subscribed for by any sub-underwriters and whether the Underwriter or any sub-underwriters increase their Voting Power in the Company between the date of this Offer Booklet and Completion of the Offer.

3.10 Directors' intentions and participation

The Directors who hold Shares intend to participate in the Offer for all of their respective Entitlements. No Director or proposed Director will participate in any Shortfall.

3.11 Entitlements and acceptance

Details of how to apply under the Offer are set out in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet.

The Entitlement of Eligible Shareholders to participate in the Offer will be determined on the Record Date. Your Entitlement is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying the Offer Booklet that will be posted to Eligible Shareholders.

3.12 No rights trading

The right to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on the ASX and you may not dispose of your rights to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement to New Shares by the Closing Date, your Entitlement will lapse.

3.13 Risks

There are various risks associated with investing in the Company, as with any stock market investment, and, specifically, because of the nature of the Company's mining business and the present stage of development of the Company's operations. Potential investors should consider whether the securities are a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances and the risk factors set out in Section 5 of this Offer Booklet. Many of those risk factors are outside the control of the Company.

3.14 Issue and dispatch

New Shares issued pursuant to this Offer Booklet will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the indicative timetable set out in Section 1 of this Offer Booklet of this Offer Booklet.

Pending the issue of New Shares or the payment of refunds pursuant to this Offer Booklet, all Application Monies will be held in trust for the relevant applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company will, however, be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each applicant of New Shares waives the right to claim interest by completing and returning the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or making payment by BPAY.

The expected dates for the issue of New Shares offered by this Offer Booklet and dispatch of holding statements is expected to occur on the dates specified in the indicative timetable set out in Section 1 of this Offer Booklet. It is the responsibility of applicants for New Shares to

Legal/68092474_11

Page 11

determine the allocation prior to trading in the New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.

3.15 Taxation matters

It should not be inferred or implied that the Company, Directors or its officers, purport to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Booklet. The Company, its advisers and its Directors and officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Eligible Shareholders. Eligible Shareholders should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with the tax consequences of subscribing for any New Shares under this Offer Booklet.

3.16 Continuous disclosure

The Company is a 'disclosing entity' under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports.

The Company is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the ASX Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's Shares. That information is available to the public from ASX.

This Offer Booklet is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include information that would be included in a disclosure document or which investors ought to have regard to in deciding whether to subscribe for New Shares. All announcements made by the Company are available from its website galilee-energy.com.au or the ASX at www.asx.com.au (ASX Code: SEI).

3.17 Ineligible Shareholders

The restrictions upon eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer arise because the Company has determined, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the relatively small number of Shareholders in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located, the relatively small number and value of New Shares to which those Shareholders would otherwise be entitled to subscribe for and the potential costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located.

In limited circumstances the Company may elect to treat as Eligible Shareholders certain Shareholders who would otherwise be Ineligible Shareholders, provided the Company is satisfied that it is not precluded from lawfully issuing New Shares to such Shareholders either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the Board in its sole discretion regards as acceptable and not unduly onerous. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability in respect of such determination.

3.18

4.4 Payment by BPAY®

For Eligible Shareholders wishing to pay by BPAY® (only available to Eligible Shareholders who hold an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY®):

  • (a) You should make your payment in respect of your Application Monies via BPAY® for the number of New Shares you wish to subscribe for (being the Issue Price of $0.018 multiplied by the number of New Shares you are applying for).

  • (b) Please follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the Biller Code and your unique Reference Number).

  • (c) Your BPAY® payment must be received by no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on the Closing Date. Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may impose earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by this time.

  • (d) For payment by BPAY® you do not need to submit your Entitlement and Acceptance Form but, by making a payment through BPAY®, you will be taken to have made the declarations set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

  • (e) Please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Eligible Shareholders must not forward cash by mail. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

If you have more than one holding of Shares you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for your Entitlements to which that Reference Number applies.

If the amount of your cheque, bank draft, money order or BPAY® payment for Application Monies is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for, you will be taken to have applied for such lower whole number of New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for. Alternatively, your Application will be rejected (at the discretion of the Company).

The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full (to a maximum of your Entitlement).

Legal/68092474_11

Page 16

Any Application Money received by the Company in excess of your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded by cheque to your registered address as noted on the Company's share register as soon as practicable after the close of the Offer. It is not practical to refund any amount of less than $5.00 to Shareholders and any refunds owing for less than this amount will be retained by the Company. No interest will be paid to Applicants on any Application Money received or refunded.

If you take no action or your fail to take any action prior to the Closing Date, your Entitlement under the Offer will lapse.

4.5 Entitlement to New Shares not taken up

If you decide not to take up all or any part of your Entitlement to New Shares, do not take any further action and your Entitlement will lapse. In this instance, the New Shares to which you would have been entitled to subscribe for will be issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. You will receive no payment for your lapsed Entitlements. You cannot sell or transfer your Entitlements to another person. Your holding of Shares will, however, be diluted because the issue of New Shares will increase the total number of Shares on issue.

4.6 Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or a payment made through BPAY®, constitutes a binding and irrevocable offer to apply for New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Booklet and, once lodged or paid, cannot be withdrawn.

Your application will be considered to be for as many New Shares as your payment will cover. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors' (or their delegates') decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.

By completing and returning your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies or making payment by BPAY®, you will also be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and warranted on your own behalf and on behalf of each person on whose account you are acting that:

The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares.

The Company is not able to advise on foreign laws.

4.9 Withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer

Subject to applicable law, the Company reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time before the issue of New Shares, in which case the Company will refund any Application Monies already received in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest being payable to Applicants.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any Application Monies paid by you to the Company will not entitle you to receive any interest and that any interest earned in respect of Application Monies will belong to the Company.

There are numerous risk factors involved with the Company's existing business, the Joint Venture and participation in the Offer. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which securities will trade.

The following is a summary of some of the more material matters to be considered. However, this summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Offer Booklet in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.

5.2 Joint Venture risks

(a) Joint Venture risk

The Joint Venture is subject to underlying contracts. With the exception of the Joint Venture, the Company is not currently a party to joint venture or joint operating agreements for any of its tenements in which it holds an interest. The Joint Venture carries risks that the Company might be voted into programs and budgets which are not in line with the objectives and strategy of the Company or that the Company does not have the cash resources to fund. The Company may be required to contribute to increases in capital expenditure requirements and/or operating costs where the requirements of the project change or in circumstances where any or all of the joint venture parties are unable to fund their pro rata contributions to expenditure.

(b) Analysis of Acquisition

The Company undertook financial, business and other analysis on MCQ in order to determine its attractiveness to the Company and make a decision to pursue the Acquisition. It is possible that such analysis, and the best estimate assumptions made by the Company, drew conclusions and forecasts that were inaccurate or which may not be realised in due course.

To the extent that the actual results (whether historical results or future results) achieved by MCQ are weaker than anticipated or were weaker than as indicated by the Company's analysis, or any difficulties arise in integrating the operations of MCQ with those of the Company, there is a risk that the Company's financial and operating performance may differ (including in a materially adverse way) from its expected financial and operating performance. Different results could arise as a result of any number of circumstances, including increases in competition in the markets in which MCQ operates, which could result in price reductions, under-utilisation of equipment and personnel, reduced operating margins or loss of market share.

(c) Reliance on information provided

If any of the data or information provided to and relied upon by the Company in its due diligence process proves to be incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of the Company may be materially different from its expected financial position and performance.

Shareholders should note that there is no assurance that the due diligence conducted in respect of MCQ was conclusive and that all material issues and risk in respect of the Acquisition have been identified and avoided or managed appropriately. Therefore, there is a risk that unforeseen issues and risks may arise, which may also have a material impact on the Company (for example, the Company may later discover liabilities or defects which were not identified through due diligence or for which there is no protection for the Company). This could adversely affect the

Legal/68092474_11

Page 20

operations, financial performance or position of the Company. Further, the information reviewed by the Company includes forward looking information which is inherently unreliable and based on assumptions that may not be achieved or satisfied in the future.

(d) Historical liability in respect of MCQ

As the acquisition of MCQ was structured as a share sale, the Company may become directly or indirectly liable for any liabilities that MCQ has incurred in the past as a result of prior acts or omissions, including liabilities which were not identified during the Company's due diligence or which are greater than expected, and for which the various forms of protections negotiated by the Company in its agreement to acquire MCQ (in the form of representations and warranties and indemnities) turn out to be inadequate in the circumstances. Such liabilities may adversely affect the financial performance or position of the Company.

5.3 Industry and Company specific risks

(a) Production risk

Development of tungsten is a high-risk endeavour, the success of which depends on the development of a mineral resource and reserve. There can be no assurance that the Company’s development activities will result in the upgrade of the Company’s mineral resource and reserve. Even if that occurs, there are a number of factors that influence the successful development of tungsten deposits into economically viable mining operations. Therefore, there can be no guarantee that the reserve can be economically exploited.

(b) Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations and assumptions. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available.

(c) Ore Treatment risk

Whilst the Company has carried out analysis of the likely rate of metals production from the processing of the tungsten ore, the rate of recovery of metal and the final quality of the metal produced, can vary depending on the efficiency of the ore treatment facilities. Many factors that are outside of the control of the Company, can vary the productivity of an ore treatment plant. The cost of upgrading the ore treatment plant to increase productivity may be sub-economic.

(d)

Industry specific risks

Tungsten quality is known to vary. As such, there is a risk that any tungsten identified by the Company may not be of sufficient quality to develop commercial mining operations, which could have an adverse impact on the Company. Actual tungsten qualities produced during the life of the mine may vary from those expected currently. Substantial changes to or on-going conditions in tungsten markets, tungsten prices and other macroeconomic factors including foreign exchange rates could have an adverse impact on the commercial viability of exploiting tungsten resources. At completion of construction of any projects the market price of the tungsten could be less than the cost of production. The Company may be forced to defer or suspend some or all of its planned mining activities.

(e) Transportation risks

Legal/68092474_11

Page 21

The Company is required to rely on transport (including ships and planes) from third parties for the transit of its product, equipment and supplies. Any deterioration in the availability of third party transportation providers, or significant increases in the costs or affordability of transportation providers may result in delays, additional costs and may therefore adversely affect the Company's operations.

(f)

Tenement risk

The Company's appraisal activities are dependent upon the grant and maintenance of appropriate licences, permits, resource consents, access arrangements and regulatory authorities (authorisations), which may not be granted or may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations at the discretion of government or regulatory authorities. Although the authorisations may be renewed following expiry or granted (as the case may be), there can be no assurances the authorisations will be continued, renewed or granted, or as to the terms of such renewals or grants.

(g) Construction and operational cost risks

The capital expenditure required to develop the Company’s tungsten project may differ from the current expectations of the Company. In addition, actual operational costs may differ from current estimates. Increases in capital or operating expenditure will adversely affect the profitability of the projects.

  • (i) Operational risks : The Company’s tungsten project is exposed to material operating risks including potential risk of sub-standard tungsten quality specifications, mining and processing technical difficulties encountered in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure and industrial and environmental accidents.

  • (ii) Labour risks : There is a risk that the Company’s tungsten project is unable to attract the skilled labour force necessary.

  • (i) Infrastructure risk : There is no guarantee that suitable and affordable road, rail and port capacity would be available to commercially export tungsten.

(h)

Base metal markets risk

The Company's possible future revenues are expected to be derived from domestic and/or export base metals sales. The profitability of the Company's base metals business will be determined by the future market for domestic and export base metals. Numerous factors outside the control of the Company impact on base metal prices. The prices required to achieve adequate returns on the Company's base metals business will vary depending on cost of production, economies of scale and product supply rates. Any substantial decline in the price of base metals is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

(i) Access to infrastructure risk

Infrastructure is a key path to market for a base metals producer and any limitation of infrastructure exposes a producer to potential cost and capacity constraints. Discoveries in remote locations may be difficult and expensive to commercialise due to infrastructure and transport costs. The sharing with other industry participants of transport and operating infrastructure is common in the base metals sector. Any delay or failure to access properly maintained operating infrastructure or shared facilities may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(j) Environmental risk

The Company's operations and projects are subject to state and federal laws and regulation regarding the environment. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality and provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to remediate current and former facilities and

Legal/68092474_11

Page 22

locations where operations are or were conducted. Significant liability could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs, or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of property acquired by the Company, or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. The Company proposes to minimise these risks by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and where possible, by carrying appropriate insurance coverage.

(k) Native title risk

Formal agreements with traditional and tribal land owners are required in many areas. Despite the Company committing to work closely with traditional owners and entering into agreements to formalise the Company's ongoing commitment to manage cultural heritage matters in its areas of operations, conflicts are possible and denial of access to the land is possible, if items of cultural heritage significance are identified. Permit applications and existing permits may be affected by native title claims or procedures. This could preclude or delay granting of mining permits and considerable expenses could be incurred negotiating and resolving issues.

(l) Legislation and regulatory risk

The Company's activities in the base metals industry are subject to legislation, regulation and approvals. The introduction of new legislation, amendments to existing legislation, the application of developments in existing common law or policies or the interpretation of those laws or policies, particularly in relation to, land access arrangements, environmental approvals, the effect of greenhouse gases legislation, royalties and production licensing may adversely affect the Company's future operations and financial performance. The Company will, from time to time, require various government regulatory approvals for its transactions and operations and must comply with those approvals, applicable laws, regulations and policies. In particular, the Company may require licences and approvals in relation to mining activities, environmental matters and the manufacture and supply of base metals. There is a risk that the Company or a joint venture that it is a party to may not obtain, or there may be a delay in obtaining, the necessary licences and approvals. This may affect the timing and scope of transactions and work that can be undertaken. Further, a failure to comply with a licence, approval or applicable law may affect the timing and scope of work that can be done. The loss of granted tenements or failure to obtain relevant approvals in relation to them may have a material adverse effect on the Company process. By way of example, in the context of the current political environment, the introduction of legislation that further restricts or inhibits base metals production, changes to strategic cropping, native title, land access or overlapping tenement arrangements or the introduction of legislation that restricts or inhibits production would likely operate to the Company's detriment.

(m) Competition risk

As a result of high levels of demand in the base metals industries, a shortage of supply of material, labour and services could impact adversely on production activities.

(n) Insurance risk

Insurance of all risks associated with base metals production is not always available and, where available, the cost can be high. The Company will have in place insurance considered appropriate for the Company's needs; however, there is no guarantee that such insurance will be sufficient in all circumstances.

(o)

Litigation risk

The Company may be exposed to potential legal and other claims or disputes in the future which could negatively impact the Company's financial performance through damages payments and harm to reputation.

(p) Occupational health and safety risk

Legal/68092474_11

Page 23

Base metals production may expose the Company's staff to potentially dangerous working environments. If any of the Company's employees suffered injury or death, compensation payments or fines may be payable and such circumstances could result in the loss of a licence or permit required to carry on the business.

(q) Financing risk

The Company, in order to meet future ongoing work programs, will likely require additional capital (via asset sales, farm-ins, equity, etc). There can be no assurance that sufficient capital funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to raise necessary capital, there may be a reduction in planned capital expenditure which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to expand its business and/or maintain operations at current levels; this could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operations. Any additional capital requirements may dilute existing Shareholdings.

(r) Reliance on key personnel risk

The Company is reliant on its senior management and key personnel. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to retain or hire all necessary personnel. The Company's progress in pursuing its appraisal programs within the timeframes and currently envisaged cost structure could be influenced by the loss of existing key personnel or a failure to secure and retain additional key personnel as the Company's appraisal programs progress. The result of such loss would depend on the quality and timing of the employee's replacement. Although the Company's key personnel have a considerable amount of experience and have previously been successful in their pursuits of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral projects, there is no guarantee or assurance that they will be successful in their objectives.

5.4 General investment risks

(a) Economic risk

Factors such as economic outlook, inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, demand, global geo-political events and hostilities and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs, base metal prices and share market conditions. The Company's future possible profitability and the market price of the Company Shares can be affected by these factors which are beyond the control of its Directors.

(b) Investing in shares

Once the New Shares are quoted on the ASX, their price may rise or fall and they may trade at prices below or above the Issue Price. There also can be no assurance that the New Shares will be traded actively. In common with other listed entities, the Company's Shares can be affected by factors that are unrelated to the operating performance or underlying value of the Company, such as domestic and international economic conditions. These fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the Company's Shares, including the New Shares once issued.

(c) General economic conditions :

The Company's operation and financial performance is affected by general economic business conditions including inflation levels, interest rates, exchange rates, government fiscal and monetary policies, and changing healthcare policy and medical reimbursement in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A sustained decline in general economic condition, such as an increase in interest rates, could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operation and financial standing.

(d) Accounting standards

Legal/68092474_11

Page 24

Australian accounting standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and are therefore outside the Directors' and the Company's control. Changes to accounting standards issued by the AASB could materially adversely affect the way in which the Company's financial performance is perceived by the market.

(e) Taxation risks

Changes to tax law in Australia or other jurisdictions in which the Company and its Shareholders operate may affect the Company and its Shareholders. Personal tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual investor and the Company has no responsibility for taxation or taxation penalties incurred by its Shareholders.

(f) Equity market conditions

Securities listed on the stock market can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally (particularly Australian, US and Chinese economic conditions), investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.

(g) Business factors

The continuing economic viability of the Company will be dependent on managing risk factors normally found in conducting a business, including management of contractual risks, litigation due to breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise), strikes, lockouts, loss of services of key management or operational personnel or change in tax and accounting laws. There can be no assurance that parties with whom the Company has entered into commercial arrangements will adhere to the terms of the contracts and arrangements. There is the potential of material failure by or insolvency of any contractor used by the Company in any of its activities. Such being the case, this could cause disruption to the operations of the Company. The Company is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or other managerial failure by any of its contractors or other service providers used by the Company. All of the mentioned business factors could have a material adverse effect on the results of the operations or the financial condition of the Company.
