Discuss any trends which are likely to impact the Issuer including trends in the Issuer’s market(s) or political/regulatory trends.
|
Global economies are currently experiencing elevated levels of
inflation, including in the Issuer’s primary production markets, which could curtail levels of economic activity. Inflation concerns are in part driven by the increase in the cost of goods as input costs continue to increase due to several external
factors, including but not limited to, general uncertainties caused by the Ukraine war, the global supply chain constrictions and rising energy prices. As such, delivery and distribution costs, utility costs and other necessary supplies at an
economic cost cannot be assured. The impact of inflation and supply shortages on the integral components of the Issuer’s business could reasonably impact the Issuer’s future economic performance and competitiveness, as it may entail a meaningful
increase in costs for various goods and services that the Issuer may not be able to pass onto patients or customers. In addition, the Issuer’s operations could also be affected should interest rates, inflation or unemployment reach levels that
change consumer trends and spending and subsequently impact the sales and profitability of the Issuer.
The war in Ukraine may also have a material adverse effect on
global economic activity and could result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains and the financial and capital markets. These disruptions could cause interruptions in supplies and other services from third parties upon which the
Issuer relies; decrease demand for products; and cause staff shortages, reduced customer traffic and increased government regulation, all of which may materially and negatively impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of
the Issuer, its subsidiaries and Focus Medical.
As of February 2023 and to date, Israel is undergoing political and
social instability relating to the judicial and legislative reforms proposed by the newly elected government, creating certain instability and uncertainty. This instability which has a certain effect on the activity of the financial markets may
cause material impact on the Issuers’ ability to operate in the Israeli market.
The undersigned hereby certifies that:
1. |
The undersigned is a director and/or senior officer of the Issuer and has been duly authorized by a resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer to sign this Certificate
