Risks Relating to HearUSA Common Stock

HearUSA might fail to maintain a listing for its common stock on the American Stock Exchange, making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of their HearUSA stock.
If penny stock regulations apply to HearUSA common stock, you may not be able to sell or dispose of your shares.
Conversion of outstanding HearUSA convertible instruments and exercise of outstanding HearUSA options and warrants could cause substantial dilution.

Because of the HearUSA rights agreement and the related rights plan for the exchangeable shares, a third party may be discouraged from making a takeover offer which could be beneficial to HearUSA and its stockholders.
Because HearUSA stockholders do not receive dividends, stockholders must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment in HearUSA.
