  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Because the company is a "smaller reporting company," we may take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to us, resulting in holders of our securities receiving less company information than they would receive from a public company that is not a smaller reporting company.

    We are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company's results of operations and financial prospectus in comparison with other public companies.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Because we are a small company with a limited operating history, holders of common stock may find it difficult to sell their stock in the public markets.

    The number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at any given time may be relatively small. This situation is attributable to a number of factors. One factor is that we are a small company that is still relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume. Another factor is that, even if the Company came to the attention of these persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would likely be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours. Furthermore, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities, including our common stock. As a consequence, there may be periods when trading activity in our common stock is minimal or even non-existent, as compared to trading activity in the securities of a seasoned issuer with a large and steady volume of trading activity. We cannot give you any assurance that an active public trading market for our common stock or other securities will develop or be sustained, or that, if developed, the trading levels will be sustained.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our common stock is quoted through the otc markets, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

    The Company's common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, which is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The trading volume may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, follow a policy of not investing in OTC Markets stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Markets stocks because they are considered speculative and volatile. The trading volume of the Company's common stock has been and may continue to be limited and sporadic. As a result, the quoted price for the Company's common stock on the OTC Markets may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value. Additionally, the securities of small capitalization companies may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more established companies. The market for small capitalization companies is generally volatile, with wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our articles of incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

    Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our Company and shareholders. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resulting costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and shareholders.

  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 5
    There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls, we may be subject to sanctions by the sec.

    We are exposed to potential risks from legislation requiring companies to evaluate internal controls under Section 404a of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a smaller reporting company and emerging growth company, we will not be required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting until our second annual report, and we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are an emerging growth company or a smaller reporting company. We have not yet evaluated whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations. If we are not able to meet the requirements of Section 404a in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 6
    We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock.

    We may finance our operations and develop strategic relationships by issuing equity or debt securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our stock to decline.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 7
    Our officer and directors has limited experience managing a public company.

    Our officer and director has limited experience managing a public company. Consequently, we may not be able to raise any funds or run our public company successfully. Our executive officer and director's lack of experience of managing a public company could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Future sales of shares of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.

    The market price of our common stock could decline significantly as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock. In addition, if our significant shareholders sell a large number of shares, or if we issue a large number of shares, the market price of our stock could decline. Any issuance of additional common stock by us in the future, or warrants or options to purchase our common stock, if exercised, would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Such issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium to the then-current trading price of our common stock. Moreover, the perception in the public market that shareholders might sell shares of our stock or that we could make a significant issuance of additional common stock in the future could depress the market for our shares. These sales, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock or make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. We have issued shares of common stock, options and convertible notes which are convertible into shares of our common stock in connection with our private placements and certain employment, director and consultant agreements. In addition, we issued shares of our common stock and convertible notes which are convertible into shares of our common stock, in financing transactions and pursuant to employment agreements that are deemed to be "restricted securities," as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. From time to time, certain of our shareholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their restricted shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations. The resale pursuant to Rule 144 of shares acquired from us in private transactions could cause our stock price to decline significantly.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

    The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including: - market conditions or trends in the regenerative medicine sector; ;- actions by competitors;- actual or anticipated growth rates relative to our competitors;- the public's response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;- economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance;- any future guidance we may provide to the public, any changes in such guidance or any difference between our guidance and actual results;- changes in financial estimates or recommendations by any securities analysts who follow our common stock;- speculation by the press or investment community regarding our business;- litigation;- changes in key personnel; and - future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant shareholders. In addition, the stock markets, including the over-the-counter markets where we are quoted, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These broad market fluctuations may materially affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results. Furthermore, the market for our common stock historically has been limited and we cannot guarantee that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, these factors may make it more difficult or impossible for you to sell our common stock for a positive return on your investment. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.

    The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our articles of incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

    Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our Company and shareholders. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resulting costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our series aa holders possess significant voting power with respect to our voting stock, which will limit your influence on corporate matters.

    There are currently 50,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock held by David Christensen, the Company's CEO. As a result of the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock to Benito Novas, a change of control has occurred. The amended certificate of designation for the Series AA Preferred Stock provides that all of the holders of the Series AA Preferred Stock together, voting separately as a class, shall have an aggregate vote equal to sixty-seven (67%) percent of the total vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders. The amended certificate of designation for the Series AA Preferred Stock further provides that a unanimous consent of the holders of Series AA Preferred Stock is necessary for, among other things, a change in control of the Company, requiring the votes of both Messrs. Christensen and Novas. The holder of the Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock shall have an aggregate vote equal to sixty-seven (67%) percent of the total vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders that each stockholder of the Corporation's Common Stock is entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (and written actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action and consideration. As a result, our insiders have the ability to significantly influence our management and affairs through the election and removal of our Board and all other matters requiring stockholder approval, including any future merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated voting power could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change-of-control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. Furthermore, this concentrated control will limit the practical effect of your influence over our business and affairs, through any stockholder vote or otherwise. Any of these effects could depress the price of our common stock.

    We are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act.

To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company's results of operations and financial prospects in comparison with other public companies.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Our articles of incorporation grants our board the power to issue additional shares of common and preferred shares and to designate other classes of preferred shares, all without stockholder approval.

    As of December 31, 2025, our authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 11,000,000 shares are authorized as preferred stock, both with a par value of $0.001 per share. Our Board, without any action by our stockholders, may designate and issue shares of preferred stock in such series as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights, provided it is consistent with Nevada law. The rights of holders of our preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of holders of our shares of common stock. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to shares of our common stock. Furthermore, any issuances of additional stock (common or preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of then-current holders of our capital stock and may dilute our book value per share.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    Future issuance of our common stock, preferred stock, options and warrants could dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

    We may issue additional shares of our common stock, preferred stock, options and warrants in the future. The issuance of a substantial amount of common stock, options and warrants could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current stockholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock or preferred stock in the public market, or the exercise of a substantial number of warrants and options either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by the target company in an acquisition which received such common stock as consideration or by investors who acquired such common stock in a private placement could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Potential equity raises for 2026 expansions could amplify dilution.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    We have a significant number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of certain outstanding convertible securities, and the issuance of such shares upon exercise or conversion will have a significant dilutive impact on our stockholders. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the issuance of additional shares will dilute all other stockholders.

    As of December 31, 2025, there were 133,125,861 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants at weighted average exercise price of $0.068, 129,347 shares from the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and 39,244,937 shares from the conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, permits the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As such, we have the ability to issue substantial amounts of Common Stock in the future, which would dilute the percentage ownership held by stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    You may experience dilution of your ownership interest due to the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

    We are in a capital intensive business and we do not have sufficient funds to finance the growth of or to support our projected capital expenditures. As a result, we will require additional funds from future equity or debt financings, including tax equity financing transactions or sales of preferred shares or convertible debt, to complete the development of new projects and pay the general and administrative costs of our business. We may in the future issue our previously authorized and unissued securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of holders of our common stock. We are currently authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 11,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both with par value of $0.001 per share. The potential issuance of such additional shares of common stock or preferred stock or convertible debt may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. We may also issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in future public offerings or private placements for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes. The future issuance of a substantial number of common shares into the public market, or the perception that such issuance could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares. A decline in the price of our common shares could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our common shares or securities convertible into common shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    "penny stock" rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult.

    If the market price for our common stock is below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock may be subject to the "penny stock" rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules would require that any broker-dealer that would recommend our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations would require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

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.
