**Disclosure: This information does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to buy any securities of KULR. As moderator of this board, it's my duty to disclose to you that my family has invested in KULR and I'm personally acting as a consultant for KULR and have been compensated in shares for that role. I'm not a licensed financial professional. I have performed extensive research on the Company and believe KULR has real potential to displace conventional thermal management or "cooling" solutions for the electronics and battery industries. This is my opinion and you should always perform your own complete due diligence before making any investment decision. There is obviously risk of loss when buying or selling securities and generally even greater risk associated with buying or selling micro-cap stocks. Some real challenges faced by micro-cap companies include raising capital, increasing liquidity, attracting institutional investors, gaining analyst coverage, and general mistrust of the micro-cap market. Micro-cap companies also tend to lack in resources and often struggle to commercialize their products or services in a meaningful way.
