The Company has received an initial investment from a strategic private equity investor in Florida who is interested in the development, marketing and sale of smaller scale vertical growing systems to expand our product line. This investor has already made a definitive commitment to provide additional financing based on achievement of certain milestones surrounding expansion of our intellectual property portfolio and an impact assessment of a specific direct marketing opportunity. Our Company was selected by this investor after significant due diligence based upon which the investor concluded that our Company's technology was superior to competing technology that it considered.
