CHICAGO, March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United American Healthcare Corporation (OTC: UAHC), an emerging technology holding company,
today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary American Sustainable Rubber Company, LLC (“ASR”), an indoor agriculture technology company
focused on creating a domestic solution for natural rubber production, has been assigned grant funding from The Ohio State
University SEEDS: Research Enhancement Competitive Grants Program at The Ohio Agricultural Research and Development
Center, to further its research on the genetic modification of the Taraxacum Kok-saghyz (TK) dandelion plant as a viable
alternative source of natural rubber to Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree).
The grant was originally awarded to Dr. Katrina Cornish, who was recently announced as scientific advisor to ASR, and ASR
President, Timothy J. Madden, after submission of their collaborative proposal entitled “Improving Natural Rubber Yield in TK
Dandelion: Demonstration of a novel, rapid crop improvement technology in rubber dandelion”. As part of the grant, ASR has
provided matching funds to Dr. Cornish and The Ohio State University.
“This is the first step in what we believe will be a long and prosperous relationship with The Ohio State University and its
College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences,” said Timothy J. Madden, President of American Sustainable Rubber. “Dr.
Cornish and our team have been working on this research for several years and we intend to use this funding to add a graduate
student to our research and development team. This additional team member will help assist in Dr. Cornish’s genetic modification
research to demonstrate gene editing pathways that increase the transient efficiency of the TK dandelion plant to consistently
deliver higher natural rubber yields.”

Some of the specific risks and uncertainties involved in the company’s business plan include, but are not limited to, the
following: (i) the possibility that the company will not achieve its objective of becoming a leading provider of natural rubber
through the further development of the TK dandelion for such purposes; (ii) the commercialization of alternative technological
advancements that could render the company’s solutions less valuable in the marketplace; (iii) the failure of the company to
successfully develop and commercialize the technology that it licenses; (iv) the inability of the company to obtain the financing
it needs to carry out its business plans; (v) the inability of the company and its partners to modify the TK dandelion to a point
where it contains enough natural rubber to make a commercially viable product; (vi) a market shift away from natural rubber to
synthetic rubber or other substitutes; (vii) the development by competitors of alternative ways to produce natural rubber that
render the dandelion approach comparatively ineffective; (viii) challenges based on intellectual property claims could be brought
against the company or its licensor; and (ix) other market factors, including without limitation, macroeconomic, regulatory, tax
policy, cyber security, currency, climate change, international trade and geopolitical risks.
