    Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants Stock to decline.

    Sales of large blocks of our Common Stock could depress the price of our Common Stock. The existence of these shares and shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, warrants and options create a circumstance commonly referred to as an "overhang" which can act as a depressant to the price of our Common Stock. The existence of an overhang, whether sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing shareholders and investors seek to convert or exercise such securities or sell a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our Common Stock and Warrants. In addition, the shares of our Common Stock sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock, may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock Warrants and sellers remain willing to sell our Common

    Shares eligible for future sale may have an adverse effects effect on our share price.

    Sales of substantial amounts of shares or the perception that such sales could occur may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our shares. We may issue additional shares in subsequent public offerings or private placements to make new investments or for other purposes. We are not required to offer any such shares to existing shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, it may not be possible for existing shareholders to participate in such future share issuances, which may dilute the existing shareholders' interests in us.

    Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock and Warrants could incur substantial losses.

    Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. On April 1, 2024, the reported closing price of our Common Stock was $0.26, while on April 2, 2024 the reported closing sales price was $.43. For comparison purposes during the last 52 weeks prior to April 2, 2024 our stock price had a low closing price of $.02 and a high closing price of $1.51. The decrease in stock price is believed to be related to the closing of our clinics in 2022, as well as a general reduction in market liquidity for smaller companies and their stocks. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The stock market in general and the market for telehealth companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. For example, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has caused broad stock market and industry fluctuations. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and Warrants and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our stockholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate holdings. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Common Stock. The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the following: - sale of our Common Stock by our stockholders, executives, and directors;   - volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our securities;   - our ability to obtain financings to implement our business plans;   - the timing and success of introductions of new clinics;   - our ability to attract new customers;   - changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of securities and sales of large blocks of securities by our stockholders;   - our cash position;   - announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;   - our inability to enter new markets or develop new products;   - reputational issues;   - our inability to successfully manage our business or achieve profitability;   - announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;   - changes in general economic, political and market conditions in any of the regions in which we conduct our business;   - changes in industry conditions or perceptions;   - analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;   - departures and additions of key personnel;   - disputes and litigation related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;   - changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics;   - market conditions or trends in our industry; and These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. Since the stock price of our Common Stock has fluctuated in the past, has been recently volatile and may be volatile in the future, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current prices or that future sales of our Common Stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors. Additionally, securities of certain companies have recently experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due to short sellers of shares of Common Stock, known as a "short squeeze." These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks have abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we won't be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.

    Settlements with various leaseholders and vendors have created obligations that may hinder our ability to finance future operations

    As a result of obligations to leaseholders and construction-related vendors we now have settlement agreements and consent judgements in the total amount of approximately $3.4 million. These obligations bear interest at various rates according to the local law in addition to the face amounts owed. The existence of these obligations may inhibit our ability to attain further financing.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

    The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.

    Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. On October 2, 2025, the reported closing price of our Common Stock was $0.38, while on March 30, 2026, the reported closing sales price was $0.08. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and Warrants and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our stockholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate holdings. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Common Stock. The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the ones discussed in this section titled "Risk Factors".

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our Common Stock has often been thinly traded, so investors may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if investors need to sell shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.

    To date, there have been many days on which limited trading of our Common Stock took place. We cannot predict the extent to which investors' interests will lead to an active trading market for our Common Stock or whether the market price of our Common Stock will be volatile. If an active trading market does not develop, investors may have difficulty selling our Common Stock. We are likely to be too small to attract the interest of many brokerage firms and analysts. We cannot give investors any assurance that an active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained. The market price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses, announcements of new products or services by us, significant sales of our Common Stock, including "short" sales, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, and news reports relating to trends in our markets or general economic conditions.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Because we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders and have other anti-takeover defenses, it may be more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.

    In general, our Board may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more additional series of preferred stock that may have such voting powers, full, enhanced or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board, which may include enhanced dividend rights, rights of redemption, sinking funds to pay dividends, liquidation, and other rights that would be different than, and preferential to, the rights of the Common Stockholders, although our ability to designate and issue preferred stock is currently restricted by covenants in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Amortizing Convertible Preferred Stock. Without these restrictions, our Board could issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and give effective control of our business to our management. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our Common Stock. This could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their Common Stock. This could also cause the market price of our Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Redemption of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock may lead to severe dilution of our existing shares.

    The Series A Preferred Shares are subject to redemption by the Company, either in the form of cash or Common Stock, beginning January 1, 2025, at a rate of 1/36 of the total outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, over the following three years. The Common Stock redemption shall be at a 10% discount to the average of the five lowest closing prices over a 30-trading day period. The last closing price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2025, in the OTC Market was $0.17. The total value of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is $13,333,500 as of December 31, 2025, based on a face value of $25 per share. If the Company redeems all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a rate of $0.15 per share prior to their mandatory conversion into Common Stock (which occurs at a rate of $4.00 per share), the Company will have issued an aggregate of 88,890,000 shares of Common Stock at the end of the three-year period, which could cause a dilution of over 90% to our existing shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our executive officers, directors and certain key stockholders own and control a significant number of voting securities and so long as they do, they are able to control the outcome of stockholder voting.

    Our executive officer, directors as well as certain other key shareholders are the owners in excess of approximately 53% of the voting shares of the Company as of December 31, 2025, as a result of their ownership of our Series X Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series X Preferred Stock"), and Common Stock. The Series X Preferred stock votes with our outstanding shares of Common Stock at the rate of 400 votes for each share owned, one (1) vote for each common holder. As such, our board can determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. Our management's control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without its support and may prevent a change in our control. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our Common Stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our Common Stock.

    Shares eligible for future sale may have an adverse effect on our share price.

    Sales of substantial amounts of shares or the perception that such sales could occur may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our shares. We may issue additional shares in subsequent public offerings or private placements to make new investments or for other purposes. We are not required to offer any such shares to existing shareholders on a pre-emptive basis. Therefore, it may not be possible for existing shareholders to participate in such future share issuances, which may dilute the existing shareholders' interests in us.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    Our Common Stock is considered a "penny stock," and is subject to SEC rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. These requirements may reduce the liquidity of our Common Stock and make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

    Our Common Stock trades on the OTC marketplace at a price below $5.00 per share and therefore constitutes a "penny stock" under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. As a result, sales of our Common Stock by a broker-dealer are subject to the penny stock rules under Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9, which require broker-dealers to provide potential investors with a standardized risk disclosure document, make a special suitability determination, and obtain the purchaser's written consent before completing a transaction. These rules may limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock, reduce the level of trading activity in our securities, impair the liquidity of our Common Stock, and make it more difficult for investors to resell shares or obtain accurate price quotations. Because of these and other regulatory requirements, you may find it difficult to sell your shares of our Common Stock. Even if an investor is able to find a buyer, they may receive a lower price for their shares.

    Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.

    Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, the write-off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

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. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
