    Our majority shareholders, executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 57.8% 52.6% of the outstanding voting power of the Company. As a result, they will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval.

    As of April 30, 2024, our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own shares representing approximately 11.2% of our common stock. Our majority shareholders control approximately 41.4% of the outstanding voting power of the Company. Beneficial ownership includes shares over which an individual or entity has investment or voting power and includes shares that could be issued upon the exercise of options and warrants within 60 days after the date of determination. On matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. If our executive officers and directors choose to act together, they would have significant influence over all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these individuals, if they chose to act together, would have significant influence on the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of the Company on terms that other stockholders may desire.

    We are a holding company and our only material assets are its cash in hand, accounts receivables, and equity interests in its operating subsidiaries and our other investments. operating subsidiaries. As a result, our principal source of revenue and cash flow is distributions from our subsidiaries.

    As a holding company, our assets are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and equity interests in our subsidiaries. Our principal source of revenue comes from our subsidiary company operations. Thus, our ability to manage our operations and finance future acquisitions, is dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make upstream cash distributions to us. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities, and although they may be wholly owned or controlled by us, they have no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in the form of loans, dividends, distributions or otherwise. The ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to us will remain subject to, among other things, availability of sufficient funds and applicable state laws and regulatory restrictions. Claims of creditors of our subsidiaries generally will have priority as to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims and claims of our creditors and stockholders. The inability of our subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to us could limit our ability to grow, pursue business opportunities or make acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We became subject to the reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission in July 2022. Until such time as we satisfy the requirements under Rule 144(i), there may not be liquidity in our common stock.

    We became subject to any reporting obligations with the SEC in July 2022, and we were previously a "shell company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after we (a) are no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current "Form 10 information" (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, Rule 144 is not currently available to us.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

    The trading market for our common stock may be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have, and may never obtain, research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock may be negatively affected. In the event that we receive securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Because our common stock may be deemed a low-priced "penny" stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high-risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

    Historically, the trading price of our common stock during 2022 and 2023 has been between a high of $1.60 and a low of $0.51 per share, and since January 1, 2024 to May 16, 2024 a low of $.08 per share, and deemed a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, and subject to the penny stock rules of the Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-100. Those rules require broker–dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to: - deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;         - disclose certain price information about the stock;         - disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;- send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and         - in some circumstances, approve the purchaser's account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    The conversion of outstanding convertible notes into shares of common stock could materially dilute our current stockholders.

    As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $4.4 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding, convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $1.00 per share. As part of the Forbearance Agreement entered into on March 8, 2024, the exercise price was amended to allow the Amended Notes to be convertible into shares of Common Stock or, upon prior written notice, such number of shares of a to-be-issued class of preferred stock of the Company on the earliest of: (a) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended Notes), (b) consummation of a Qualified Subsequent Financing, and (c) on or after the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information; (iv) the conversion price in the Amended Notes shall now be equal to the lower of (a) $0.0625 or (b) the price of the securities issued in a Qualified Subsequent Financing completed within the one (1) year anniversary of the Current Issue Date, subject to adjustment; and (v) upon consummation of a Qualified Subsequent Financing, the outstanding principal amount of the Amended Notes plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other payment due thereunder, shall automatically, without any further action required by the Purchasers, be converted into shares of a class of the Company's, yet-to-be-issued senior convertible preferred stock, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, at the conversion price then in effect. The conversion price of these notes may be less than the market price of our common stock at the time of conversion, and may be subject to future adjustment due to certain events, including our issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion rate then in effect. If the entire principal amount of all the outstanding convertible notes is converted into shares of common stock, we would be required to issue an aggregate of no less than approximately 70.4 million shares of common stock equivalents. If we issue all of these shares, the ownership of our current stockholders will be diluted.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Our outstanding warrants and preferred stock may affect the market price and liquidity of the common stock.

    As of December 31, 2022, we had warrants for the purchase of up to an additional 1,705,000 shares of common stock. All of these warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. As part of the Forbearance Agreement entered into on March 8, 2024, the exercise price was amended to $.01 per share. We also have outstanding 1,102 shares of our series A preferred stock, which is convertible into 1,377 shares of common stock, as well as 8,105,724 shares of our series B preferred stock, which is convertible into 405,286 shares of common stock. As described more fully below, holders of our notes and warrants may elect to receive a substantial number of shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes and/or exercise of the warrants. The amount of common stock reserved for issuance may have an adverse impact on our ability to raise capital and may affect the price and liquidity of our common stock in the public market. In addition, the issuance of these shares of common stock will have a dilutive effect on current stockholders' ownership.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    If the holders of our Notes elect to convert the principal and interest due under the Notes, our stockholders will experience substantial dilution in their investment.

    The total remaining principal amount we owe to the holders of our Notes is approximately $4.4 million. If the holders of these Notes were to elect to convert all of the principal amount (and assuming no interest has accrued on the principal amount) into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price of $.0625, we would be required to issue approximately 70.4 million shares. These conversions would result in significant dilution to the investments of our existing stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    There may be an adverse effect on the value and liquidity of our common stock due to the disparate voting rights of our common stock, our series A preferred stock and our series B preferred stock.

    We currently have three classes of stock outstanding, common stock, series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock. Holders of our common stock, series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock are entitled to one vote per share and all such holders will vote together as a single class except as otherwise required by applicable law. Each share of Series A preferred stock is convertible into 1.25 shares of common stock and votes on an as converted basis. Each share of series B preferred stock shall be convertible into 1/20 of a share of common stock. In addition, if we issue additional shares of common stock and/ or preferred stock in the future, there will be further dilution to investors or potential future purchasers of our common stock. See "Description of Capital Stock" for a description of our common stock, series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock and the rights associated with them.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Our majority shareholders, executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 52.6% of the outstanding voting power of the Company. As a result, they will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval.

    As of April 30, 2024, our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own shares representing approximately 11.2% of our common stock. Our majority shareholders control approximately 41.4% of the outstanding voting power of the Company. Beneficial ownership includes shares over which an individual or entity has investment or voting power and includes shares that could be issued upon the exercise of options and warrants within 60 days after the date of determination. On matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. If our executive officers and directors choose to act together, they would have significant influence over all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these individuals, if they chose to act together, would have significant influence on the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of the Company on terms that other stockholders may desire.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 related to accounting controls and procedures in the future, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult.

    Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to disclosure controls and procedures in the future, or, if we discover material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. If material weaknesses or significant deficiencies are discovered or if we otherwise fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal control, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    Our directors may encounter conflicts of interest involving us and other entities with which they may be affiliated, including matters that involve corporate opportunities.

    Some of our directors are, and any future directors may be, affiliated with other entities that may be complementary, competitive, or potentially competitive to the Company. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities that are engaged in business or other activities similar to our business. Additionally, all of our officers and directors, in the course of their other business activities, may become aware of investments, business opportunities, or information which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as to other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, directors and officers may encounter perceived or actual conflicts of interest involving us and other entities with which they are or become affiliated, including matters that involve corporate opportunities. In addition, as our growth strategy includes considering potential acquisitions, it is possible an entity affiliated with one of our directors could be an acquisition target or a competitive acquiror. Further, to the extent we engage in transactions with any director-affiliated entity, it could create actual, or the perception of, additional conflicts of interest, including with respect to our ability to negotiate terms equivalent to those that could be obtained in an arms'-length negotiation with an unaffiliated third party. For instance, Mr. Wiener, our President, owned Vitality Rx prior to its acquisition by the Company. The commercial terms of the acquisition agreement that we entered into with Vitality Rx were not negotiated on behalf of the Company by persons consisting solely of disinterested directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have no basis for believing that the terms of such agreement is not in the best interests of our stockholders. Nonetheless, no assurance can be given that any stockholder will not claim in a lawsuit that such terms in fact are not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, that the directors and officers of the Company breached their fiduciary duties in connection with such agreements and that any disclosures by us to our stockholders regarding this Agreement and the relationship between the parties did not satisfy applicable requirements. In any such instance, we and our directors and officers may also be named as defendants and we would have to defend ourselves and our directors and officers. Further, any such litigation would be time-consuming and would divert focus and resources from the development of our products and our business.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    There is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.

    The independent auditors' report accompanying our December 31, 2023 and 2022 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses of $11,103,503 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $30,133,916 as of December 31, 2023. The Company anticipates further losses in the development of its business. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of debt or equity is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, or its attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

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.
