    If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

    On March 27, 2024, we received a written notice (the "Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement"). Our stockholders' equity was $607,000 as of December 31, 2023 and, as a result, we did not satisfy Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). We submitted a plan to Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Staff ("Staff") advising of actions we have taken or will take to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On August 26, 2024, the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") determined that we were not in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Rule") because we reported stockholders' equity of less than $2.5 million as of June 30, 2024. The notice from the Staff further stated that unless we timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), our securities would be subject to delisting. As of September 30, 2024, we had a stockholders equity deficit of approximately $1.02 million which is not in compliance with the Equity Rule. On October 15, 2024, we met with the Panel regarding our potential delisting from Nasdaq as a result of our violation of the Equity Rule.  On October 22, 2024, we received the Panel's decision which granted us until December 24, 2024 to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and all applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq. If we are unable to regain compliance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market by December 24, 2024, our securities may be delisted from Nasdaq. If, for any reason, Nasdaq were to delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another reputable national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could materially adversely affect our stockholders: -  the liquidity and marketability of our common stock;-  the market price of our common stock;-  our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;-  the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our common stock;-  the number of market makers in our common stock;-  the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and -  the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock. In addition, if we cease to be eligible to trade on Nasdaq, we may have to pursue trading on a less recognized or accepted market, such as the over the counter markets, our stock may be traded as a "penny stock," which would make transactions in our stock more difficult and cumbersome, and we may be unable to access capital on favorable terms or at all, as companies trading on alternative markets may be viewed as less attractive investments with higher associated risks, such that existing or prospective institutional investors may be less interested in, or prohibited from, investing in our common stock. This may also cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    If we automatically convert the convertible preferred stock, there is a substantial risk of fluctuation in the price of our common stock from the date we elect to automatically convert to the conversion date.

    We may automatically convert the convertible preferred stock into common stock if the closing price of our common stock exceeds $213,192,000 per share. There is a risk of fluctuation in the price of our common stock between the time when we may first elect to automatically convert the preferred and the automatic conversion date.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    If we exchange the convertible preferred stock for debentures, the exchange will be taxable, but we will not provide any cash to pay any tax liability that any convertible preferred stockholder may incur.

    An exchange of convertible preferred stock for debentures, as well as any dividend make-whole or interest make-whole payments paid in our common stock, will be taxable events for United States federal income tax purposes, which may result in tax liability for the holder of convertible preferred stock without any corresponding receipt of cash by the holder. In addition, the debentures may be treated as having original issue discount, a portion of which would generally be required to be included in the holder's gross income even though the cash to which such income is attributable would not be received until maturity or redemption of the debenture. We will not distribute any cash to the holders of the securities to pay these potential tax liabilities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The future sale of our common and convertible preferred stock and future issuances of our common stock upon conversion of our preferred stock could negatively affect our stock price and cause dilution to existing holders of our common stock.

    If our common or preferred stockholders sell substantial amounts of our stock in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our common and preferred stock could fall. If additional holders of convertible preferred stock elect to convert their shares to shares of common stock at renegotiated prices, such conversion as well as the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock, could cause dilution to existing holders of our common stock, thereby also negatively affecting the price of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our common and preferred stock may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which could lead to costly securities-related litigation, including securities class action litigation or securities-related investigations, which could make an investment in us less appealing.

    You should consider an investment in our common stock and preferred stock to be risky, and you should invest in our common stock and preferred stock only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of your investment. Some factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, in addition to the other risks mentioned in this "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, are: - new regulatory pronouncements and changes in regulatory guidelines;         - general and industry-specific economic conditions;         - additions to or departures of our key personnel;         - sale of our common stock or preferred stock by our stockholders, executives and directors;         - volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our shares;         - analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;         - announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;         - announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;         - disputes and litigations related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;         - changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;         - variations in our quarterly results;         - announcements about our collaborators or licensors;         - changes in accounting principles or in applicable laws, rules, regulations; and         - other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control. The stock markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for publicly traded securities. This volatility has often been unrelated to the performance of particular companies. In the past, companies that experience volatility in the market price of their securities have often faced securities class action and derivative litigation, and as a public company, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    If persons engage in short sales of our common stock, including sales of shares to be issued upon exercise of our outstanding warrants, the price of our common stock may decline.

    Selling short is a technique used by a stockholder to take advantage of an anticipated decline in the price of a security. In addition, holders of options and warrants will sometimes sell short knowing they can, in effect, cover through the exercise of an option or warrant, thus locking in a profit. A significant number of short sales or a large volume of other sales within a relatively short period of time can create downward pressure on the market price of a security. Further sales of common stock issued upon exercise of our outstanding warrants could cause even greater declines in the price of our common stock due to the number of additional shares available in the market upon such exercise, which could encourage short sales that could further undermine the value of our common stock. You could, therefore, experience a decline in the value of your investment as a result of short sales of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    The number of shares of common stock which are registered, including the shares to be issued upon exercise of our outstanding warrants, is significant in relation to our currently outstanding common stock and could cause downward pressure on the market price for our common stock.

    The number of shares of common stock registered for resale, including those shares which are to be issued upon exercise of our outstanding warrants, is significant in relation to the number of shares of common stock currently outstanding. If the security holder determines to sell a substantial number of shares into the market at any given time, there may not be sufficient demand in the market to purchase the shares without a decline in the market price for our common stock. Moreover, continuous sales into the market of a number of shares in excess of the typical trading volume for our common stock, or even the availability of such a large number of shares, could depress the trading market for our common stock over an extended period of time.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and certain provisions of Delaware law may delay or prevent a change in our management and make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us.

    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in our Board of Directors and management teams. Some of these provisions: - authorize the issuance of preferred stock that can be created and issued by the Board of Directors without prior stockholder approval, commonly referred to as "blank check" preferred stock, with rights senior to those of our common stock;         - provide for the Board of Directors to be divided into three classes; and         - require that stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called stockholder meeting and prohibit stockholder action by written consent. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits the ability of large stockholders to complete a business combination with, or acquisition of, us. These provisions may prevent a business combination or acquisition that would be attractive to stockholders and could limit the price that investors would be willing to pay in the future for our stock. These provisions also make it more difficult for our stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors. Because our Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt to replace our current management team. Additionally, these provisions may prevent an acquisition that would be attractive to stockholders and could limit the price that investors would be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    The market price of the Company's common stock is expected to be volatile, and the market price of its common stock may drop.

    The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. Market prices for securities of early-stage pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other life sciences companies have historically been particularly volatile. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of the Company's common stock to fluctuate include: - reports on the progress of the Company's sales of the fire safety products and services and their growth or the lack thereof;   - failure to maintain its existing customers;   - failure by the Company to prosecute, maintain, or enforce its intellectual property rights;   - changes in laws or regulations applicable to its products and services;   - any inability to obtain adequate supply of its products and services or the inability to do so at acceptable prices;   - adverse regulatory authority decisions;   - introduction of new products, services, or technologies by its competitors;   - failure to meet or exceed financial and development projections that the Company may provide to the public;   - failure to meet or exceed the financial and development projections of the investment community;   - the perception of the Company's products and services among the fire safety industry and green energy industry by the public, legislatures, regulators and the investment community;   - announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic collaborations, joint ventures, or capital commitments by the Company or its competitors;   - disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including intellectual property, litigation matters, and its ability to obtain protection for its technologies;   - additions or departures of key personnel;   - significant lawsuits, including patent or stockholder litigation;   - if securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about its business, or if they issue adverse or misleading opinions regarding its business and stock;   - changes in the market valuations of similar companies;   - general market or macroeconomic conditions;   - sales of common stock by the Company or its stockholders in the future;   - trading volume of our common stock;   - the introduction of technological innovations or new therapies that compete with potential products of the Company; and   - period-to-period fluctuations in the Company's financial results. Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of the Company's common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm the Company's profitability and reputation. Additionally, a decrease in the stock price of the Company may cause the Company's common stock to no longer satisfy the continued listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company is not able to maintain the requirements for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, it could be delisted, which could have a materially adverse effect on its ability to raise additional funds as well as the price and liquidity of its common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    In the event of an acquisition of our common stock, we cannot assure our common stockholders that we will be able to negotiate terms that would provide for a price equivalent to, or more favorable than, the price at which our shares of common stock may be trading at such time.

    We may not effect a consolidation or merger with another entity without the vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of our preferred stock (in addition to the approval of our common stockholders), unless the preferred stock that remains outstanding and its rights, privileges and preferences are unaffected or are converted into or exchanged for preferred stock of the surviving entity having rights, preferences and limitations substantially similar, but no less favorable, to our convertible preferred stock. In addition, in the event a third party seeks to acquire our company or acquire control of our company by way of a merger, but the terms of such offer do not provide for our preferred stock to remain outstanding or be converted into or exchanged for preferred stock of the surviving entity having rights, preferences and limitations substantially similar, but no less favorable, to our preferred stock, the terms of the Certificate of Designations of our preferred stock provide for an adjustment to the conversion ratio of our preferred stock such that, depending on the terms of any such transaction, preferred stockholders may be entitled, by their terms, to receive up to $10.00 per share in common stock, causing our common stockholders not to receive as favorable a price as the price at which such shares may be trading at the time of any such transaction. As of December 31, 2025, there were 135,273 shares of our 6% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. If the transaction were one in which proceeds were received by us for distribution to stockholders, and the terms of the Certificate of Designations governing the preferred stock were strictly complied with, approximately $1.7 million would be paid to the preferred holders before any distribution to the common stockholders, although the form of transaction could affect how the holders of preferred stock are treated. In such an event, although such a transaction would be subject to the approval of our holders of common stock, we cannot assure our common stockholders that we will be able to negotiate terms that would provide for a price equivalent to, or more favorable than, the price at which our shares of common stock may be trading at such time. Thus, the terms of our preferred stock might hamper a third party's acquisition of our company.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and provisions of Delaware law may make an acquisition more difficult and could result in the entrenchment of management.

    We are incorporated in Delaware. Anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may make a change in control or efforts to remove management more difficult. Also, under Delaware law, our Board of Directors may adopt additional anti-takeover measures. We have the authority to issue up to 5 million shares of preferred stock and to determine the terms of those shares of stock without any further action by our stockholders. If the Board of Directors exercises this power to issue preferred stock, it could be more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock and vote the stock they acquire to remove management or directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws also provides staggered terms for the members of our Board of Directors. Under Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our directors may be removed by stockholders only for cause and only by vote of the holders of a majority of voting shares then outstanding. These provisions may prevent stockholders from replacing the entire board in a single proxy contest, making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us without the consent of our Board of Directors. These provisions could also delay the removal of management by the Board of Directors with or without cause. In addition, our directors may only be removed for cause and amended and restated bylaws limit the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders. As at December 31, 2025, we had 135,273 shares of 6% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock and 264 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock until the holder has held the stock for three years unless, among other possibilities, the Board of Directors approves a transaction. Our Board of Directors could use this provision to prevent changes in management. The existence of the foregoing provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

    The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us. If analysts do not publish research reports or one or more of these analysts who were publishing research cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    An active trading market for our common stock has not developed and it may have a volatile public trading price, thus, purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.

    An active public market for our common stock has not developed. Our stock can trade in small volumes, which may make the price of our stock highly volatile. The last reported price of our stock may not represent the price at which you would be able to buy or sell the stock. The market prices for securities of companies comparable to us have been highly volatile. Often, these stocks have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons that are both related and unrelated to the operating performance of the individual companies. In addition, the stock market as a whole have experienced significant recent volatility. Like our common stock, these stocks have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of the individual companies. If an active market for the Company's common stock does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for stockholders to sell their shares at an attractive price or at all.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13
    If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

    Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"). We must satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders' equity of?$2.5 million and a minimum bid price for our common stock of?$1.00 per share, or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. In order to maintain our listing, we must also maintain continued business operations so that we are not characterized as a "public shell company." A delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. On February 25, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it has regained compliance with the equity requirement in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Rule"), as required by the Nasdaq Hearing Panel's decision dated October 22, 2024. As previously reported by the Company on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 24, 2024, on October 15, 2024, the Company met with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel regarding its potential delisting from Nasdaq as a result of its non-compliance with the Equity Rule. On October 22, 2024, the Company received the Nasdaq Hearings Panel decision which granted the Company until December 24, 2024 to regain compliance with the Equity Rule. Following the Company's regaining compliance with the Equity Rule pursuant to the February 25, 2025, the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from February 25, 2025 pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). On May 7, 2025, the "Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the "May Certificate of Amendment") to implement a one-for-sixteen reverse stock split. The effective date of the Certificate of Amendment is May 12, 2025 (the "May 12 Effective Date"). The Company's common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on the May 12 Effective Date. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation primarily to meet the share bid price requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment at a special meeting of its stockholders held on February 6, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, on the Effective Date, every sixteen shares of common stock then issued and outstanding automatically were combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares were outstanding following the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares that would have resulted from the reverse stock split were (a) rounded up to the nearest whole number for any shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive one-half or more of a fractional split-adjusted share, and (b) rounded down to the nearest whole number for any shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive less than one-half of a fractional split-adjusted share. On July 2, 2025, the Company) filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation ("July Certificate of Amendment") to implement a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split. The effective date of the Certificate of Amendment is July 7, 2025 (the "July 7 Effective Date"). The Company's common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on the July 7 Effective Date. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment to the Company's July Certificate of Incorporation primarily to meet the share bid price requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment by majority written consent on May 12, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, on the Effective Date, every fifteen shares of common stock then issued and outstanding automatically were combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares were outstanding following the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares that would have resulted from the reverse stock split were (a) rounded up to the nearest whole number for any shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive one-half or more of a fractional split-adjusted share, and (b) rounded down to the nearest whole number for any shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive less than one-half of a fractional split-adjusted share. Notwithstanding our compliance with the Equity Rule, we cannot be sure that our share price will continue to comply with the requirements for continued listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market in the future, or that we will continue to comply with the other continued listing requirements. If our shares of common stock lose their status on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we believe that our shares of common stock would likely be eligible to be quoted on the inter-dealer electronic quotation and trading system operated by Pink OTC Markets Inc., commonly referred to as the Pink Sheets and now known as the OTCQB market. Our shares of common stock may also be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, an electronic quotation service maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. These markets are generally not considered to be as efficient as, and not as broad as, the Nasdaq Capital Market. Selling our shares of common stock on these markets could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, and transactions could be delayed. In addition, in the event our shares of common stock are delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, further limiting the liquidity of our common stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14
    There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

    As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were $3.5 million compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2024. Based on our current operating plan, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are issued. To meet our long-term financing requirements, we may raise funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic alliances. Raising additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities may cause our stockholders to experience substantial dilution in their ownership interests and new investors may have rights superior to the rights of our other stockholders. To the extent equity valuations, including the trading price of our common stock, are depressed as a result of economic disruptions or other uncertainties, for example due to rising inflationary pressures, ongoing military conflicts or other factors, the potential magnitude of this dilution will increase. Raising additional funds through debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that restrict our business activities and options.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 15
    Raising capital in the future could cause dilution to our existing shareholders and may restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights.

    In the future, we may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financing and collaborations and strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration or strategic alliance arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our future revenue streams or product candidates on terms that are not favorable to us.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector.
