Awaysis Capital (AWCA) Risk Analysis

The market price of our Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations due to factors such as: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations;     - the success or failure of our operating strategies and our perceived prospects; realization of any of the risks described in this section; failure to be covered by securities analysts or failure to meet the expectations of securities analysts;     - a decline in the stock prices of peer companies; and     - a discount in the trading multiple of our Common Stock relative to that of common stock of certain of our peer companies due to perceived risks associated with our smaller size. As a result, shares of our Common Stock may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid to acquire them. Furthermore, declines in the price of our Common Stock may adversely affect our ability to conduct future offerings or to recruit and retain key employees, including our managing directors and other key professional employees.

In general, shareholders do not have pre-emptive rights to any Common Stock issued by us in the future. Therefore, shareholders may experience dilution of their equity investment if we issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future, including shares issuable under equity incentive plans, or if we issue securities that are convertible into shares of our Common Stock, which we intend to do.

We intend to apply to list our Common Stock on the NYSE American. If our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate the NYSE American listing requirements, our Common Stock may be delisted. If we fail to meet any of the NYSE American's listing standards, our Common Stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our Common Stock from the NYSE American may materially impair our stockholders' ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. The delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The SEC's penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and the salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that before a transaction in a penny stock occurs, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's agreement to the transaction. If applicable in the future, these rules may restrict the ability of brokers-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares, until our Common Stock no longer is considered a penny stock.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Harthorne Capital, Inc., which is owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, along with Mr. Singh and Dr. Trumbach, collectively beneficially owns shares of our Common Stock equal to approximately 85% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, and as a result, control a majority of the voting power of the Company. As a result, we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE American. Under these rules, a listed company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a "controlled company" and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We have elected to rely on certain of these exemptions and as a result, we are not required to have: (i) a Board of Directors consisting of a majority of independent directors, (ii) a compensation committee consisting entirely of independent directors, and (iii) a nominating/corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors. We may also rely on the other exemptions so long as we qualify as a "controlled company." Although permitted, the absence of a majority of independent directors, an independent compensation committee, and an independent nominating committee may adversely impact investor confidence and reduce oversight of management decisions. Investors should carefully consider that our corporate governance structure may provide less protection than that afforded to stockholders of companies with independent boards.

Harthorne Capital, Inc., which is owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, along with Mr. Singh and Dr. Trumbach, collectively beneficially owns shares of our Common Stock equal to approximately 85% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, such individuals will have the ability, acting together, to substantially influence the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. Additionally, such ownership concentration and leadership positions give Mr. Singh and Dr. Trumbach the power to control, or substantial influence over, employment decisions, including compensation arrangements for themselves. Furthermore, this concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other shareholders and be disadvantageous to our shareholders with interests different from those individuals. These individuals also have significant control over our business, policies and affairs as officers and/or directors of our Company. These stockholders may exert influence in delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, even if such change in control would benefit the other stockholders of the Company. Lastly, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the market value of the Company's Common Stock due to investors' perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over the Company. In addition, stock ownership of insiders and management, at high levels of ownership, may induce executive decisions inconsistent with growth-oriented risk-taking.

Provisions in the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent an acquisition or a change in management. These provisions include a classified board of directors; although as of the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Board has not yet approved the designations of any of our directors as a particular class of directors. Although the Company believes this provision could provide for an opportunity to receive higher bids by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with the Company's board of directors, they would apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by the Company's stockholders to replace or remove then current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the board of directors, which is responsible for appointing members of management.

Common stock and similar equity securities generally represent the most junior position in an issuer's capital structure and, as such, generally entitle holders to an interest in the assets of the issuer, if any, remaining after all more senior claims to such assets have been satisfied. Holders of common stock generally are entitled to dividends only if and to the extent declared by the governing body of the issuer out of income or other assets available after making interest, dividend, and any other required payments on more senior securities of the issuer. We anticipate that we will retain our earnings, if any, for future growth and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the short term. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in our Common Stock for that purpose.

We qualify as a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year's second fiscal quarter, or (ii) its annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year's second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.
