    There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

    For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $14,143,735 and used cash in operations of $8,451,781. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company's March 31, 2023 audited financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In evaluating the going concern position of the company, management has considered potential funding providers and believes that financing to fund future operations could be provided by equity and/or debt financing. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes governing business combinations and control share acquisitions.

    Applicability of the Nevada business combination statute would discourage parties interested in taking control of our company if they cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors. These provisions could prohibit or delay a merger or other takeover or change in control attempt and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price. The effect of the Nevada control share statute is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company based on our organizational structure.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The interests of Dr D.F.H. Chowdhury, or the controlling shareholders, may not always coincide with the interests of us and our other shareholders, and the controlling shareholders may exert significant control or substantial influence over us and may take actions that are not in, or may conflict with, public shareholders' best interests.

    The controlling shareholders control the exercise of voting rights of over 50% of the shares eligible to vote in any of our annual or special meetings. Therefore, these controlling shareholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters that require us to obtain shareholder approval, including the election of directors to our board and approval of significant corporate transactions that we may consider, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. The controlling shareholders may cause us to take actions that are not in, or may conflict with, the interests of us or the public shareholders. In the case where the interests of the controlling shareholders conflict with those of our other shareholders, or if the controlling shareholders choose to cause us to pursue objectives that would conflict with the interests of our other shareholders, such other shareholders could be left in a disadvantageous position by such actions caused by the controlling shareholders and the price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

    If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an "overhang" and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    If our common stock is deemed a "penny stock," it will make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

    Our common stock will be subject to the "penny stock" rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws. This can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, and thus impairing our ability to grow.

    We are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (including reporting of any Merger that may occur in the future) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would have been if we had remained privately held.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Our stock price may be volatile.

    The stock market, particularly in recent years, has experienced significant volatility with respect to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other diagnostic medical device company stocks. The volatility of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other diagnostic medical device company stocks often does not relate to the operating performance of the companies represented by the stock. Factors that could cause this volatility in the market price of our common stock include: –results from and any delays in our clinical trials;–failure or delays in entering our product into clinical trials;–failure or discontinuation of any of our research programs;–delays in establishing new strategic relationships;–delays in the development or commercialization of our product;–market conditions in the diagnostic medical device sectors and issuance of new or changed securities analysts' reports or recommendations;–actual and anticipated fluctuations in our financial and operating results;–developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;–introduction of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our competitors;–issues in manufacturing our product;–market acceptance of our product;–third-party healthcare reimbursement policies;–regulatory actions affecting us or our industry;–litigation or public concern about the safety of our product; and –additions or departures of key personnel. These and other external factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management.

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.
