CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) contains “forward-looking statements,” which we intend to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements contained in this Annual Report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, market growth, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “project,” “target,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we reasonably believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.
These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Annual Report and are subject to several known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether because of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:
| ● | Our ability to develop and sell our products. |
| ● | Our ability to source, retain, and expand our technical and business staff to meet the demands of our expanding and diversifying business. |
| ● | Assumptions relating to the size of the market for our products. |
| ● | Unanticipated regulations of our products that add barriers to our business and have a negative effect on our operations. |
| ● | Our estimates of expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and our needs for, or ability to obtain, additional financing. |
| ● | Our status of an early-stage company with a business model and marketing strategy that continues to evolve. |
| ● | Our ability to avoid a significant disruption in our information technology system, including security breaches, or our ability to implement new system and software successfully. |
| ● | Our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products. |
| ● | The other risks identified in this Annual Report including, without limitation, those under Part I, Item 1. “Business,” Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as such factors may be updated from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. |
Neither the foregoing nor the following “Summary of Material Risks” represents an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth below under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this Annual Report. Prior to investing in our common stock, you should read this Annual Report and the documents we have filed as exhibits to this Annual Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect.
The Company will continue to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by us, or on our behalf. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL RISKS
Investing in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. These risks are discussed more fully in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. We urge you to read Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 in full. Our significant risks may be summarized as follows:
Risks Related to Our Industry and Business
| ● | Our software is complex and may have a lengthy implementation process, and any failure of our software to satisfy our customers or perform as desired could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. |
| ● | If we are not able to grow, maintain, and enhance our brand and reputation, along with the impact of inaccurate and damaging media coverage, our relationships with our customers, partners, and employees may be harmed, and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. |
| ● | We face intense competition in our markets, and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position. |
| ● | We develop and use AI in our business, and challenges with properly developing and managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely affect our results of operations. |
Risks Related to Intellectual Property, Information Technology, Data Privacy, and Security
| ● | If our systems, our customers’ environments, or third-party systems we rely on are breached or if unauthorized access to sensitive data occurs, it could harm public perception of our software, result in business losses, and expose us to liability. |
| ● | We may in the future be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies. |
Risks Related to Regulation and Compliance
| ● | Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection and security, biometrics, artificial intelligence, technology protection, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or otherwise harm our business. |
| ● | We may face legal, regulatory, and administrative inquiries and proceedings, and unfavorable outcomes in litigation or other matters could negatively impact our business, financial conditions, and results of operations. |
| ● | Changes in accounting principles or their application to us could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects, which could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects. |
ii
Risks Related to Our Relationships and Business with the Public Sector
| ● | A significant portion of our business depends on sales to the public/government sector, and our failure to receive and maintain government contracts or changes in the contracting or fiscal policies of the public sector could have a material adverse effect on our business. |
| ● | Government contracts differ materially from standard commercial contracts, involve competitive bidding and may be subject to cancellation or delay without penalty. |
| ● | If we fail to establish and maintain important relationships with government agencies and prime contractors, our ability to successfully maintain and develop new business may be adversely affected. |
| ● | Our business could be adversely affected if our employees cannot obtain and maintain required personnel security clearances, or we cannot establish and maintain the required facility security clearance. |
| ● | Most of our customer contracts may be terminated by the customer at any time for convenience and may contain other provisions permitting the customer to discontinue contract performance, and if terminated contracts are not replaced, our results of operations may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated. |
| ● | The U.S. government may procure non-commercial developmental services rather than commercial products, which could materially impact our future U.S. government business and revenue. |
General Risk Associated with Our Company
| ● | Compliance with the laws and regulations affecting public companies could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. |
| ● | Failure to establish and maintain effective internal control in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price. |
| ● | We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors. |
Risks Related to Our Securities
| ● | The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment. |
| ● | Certain companies with public floats comparable to our public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. We may experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our common stock. |
| ● | Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our common stock. |
| ● | Our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders have substantial control over our company, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control. |
| ● | We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate to pay for the foreseeable future. |
