ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), under the heading “Risk Factors”, except as set forth below, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, under “Risk Factors”, and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
Risks Relating to Our Business:
We need additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, which creates substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our historical financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21.5 million. We have limited financial resources, As of September 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $3.5 million and a cash balance of approximately $34,000. We will need to raise additional capital or secure debt funding to support on-going operations. The sources of this capital are expected to be the sale of equity and debt, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues, our financial position, and liquidity. These matters, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is defined as within one year after the date that our condensed financial statements are issued. The financial herein do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The doubt regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, if we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.
Additional financing may not be available to us when needed or, if available, it may not be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the necessary additional financing on a timely or commercially reasonable basis, we will be forced to delay or scale down some or all of our development activities (or perhaps even cease the operation of our business). Our access to additional capital may be negatively affected by future recessions, downturns in the economy or the markets as a whole, or inflation.
We have no commitments for any additional financing and such commitments may not be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, raising future capital, and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated expansion, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our industry and the broader US economy have experienced higher than expected inflationary pressures in 2022 and the first half of 2023, related to continued supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and geopolitical instability. Should these conditions persist our business, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
The first three quarters of 2022 and the first three quarters of 2023 have seen significant increases in the costs of certain materials, products and shipping costs, as a result of availability constraints, supply chain disruption, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employed US labor force, high inflation and other factors. Supply and demand fundamentals have been further aggravated by disruptions in global energy supply caused by multiple geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Service, materials and shipping costs have also increased accordingly with general supply chain and inflation issues seen throughout the United States leading to increased operating costs. Recent supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures may continue to adversely impact our operating costs and may negatively impact our ability to procure and ship products in a timely and cost-effective manner, if at all, which could result in reduced margins and lack of products and, as a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our Receivables Agreement, our cash flows may be adversely affected.
On June 27, 2023, March 14, 2023, June 27, 2022 and September 14, 2022, the Company entered into non-recourse funding agreements with the same third-party funder for the purchase and sale of future receivables (the “Receivables Agreements”), Pursuant to the Receivables Agreements, the third-party agreed to fund the Company on June 27, 2022 $550,000 to purchase $792,000 of future receivables; and fund the Company again on September 14, 2022 $275,000 to purchase $396,000 of future receivables, again on March 14, 2023 $875,000 to purchase $1,224,000 and again on June 27, 2023 $1,250,000 to purchase $1,800,000 of future receivables. Under the Receivables Agreements, the third-party receives a priority interest in the receivables of Trxade Inc. The Company also paid $62,500, $42,500, $27,500, and $15,000 as origination fees in connection with the Receivables Agreements. The Receivables Agreements also allows for the third-party funder to file UCCs securing their interest in the receivables and includes customary events of default,
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Receivables Agreement, we are required to pay the third-party funder 100% of future receivables equal to the entire purchased amount. While the Receivables Agreement is in place, we are prohibited from selling any other receivables. As a result, if an event of default occurs under the Receivables Agreement, 100% of our sales revenue would be required to be paid until such time as the amount owed under the Receivables Agreement is paid in full. If this were to occur, our cash flows would be adversely affected and we may not have sufficient liquidity to pay our debt obligations and expenses, may be forced to raise additional funds which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may be forced to curtail certain of our business activities, any of which may cause the value of our securities to decline in value.
Risks Relating to our Securities:
We are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Our common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MEDS”, in February 2020. On July 29, 2022, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we are not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we reported stockholders’ equity of $1,356,578, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”). Nasdaq gave us until September 12, 2022 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance, and we submitted a compliance plan prior to that deadline.
We submitted the plan to regain compliance in a timely manner, and on October 17, 2022, Nasdaq advised the Company that it has determined to grant the Company an extension to regain compliance with the Rule.
The terms of the extension are as follows: on or before January 25, 2023, the Company must complete certain contemplated transactions which the Company has advised Nasdaq will allow it to re-meet the requirements of the Rule (including the public sale of $1.75 million of common stock (or pre-funded warrants), which transaction was completed on October 7, 2022), and opt for one of the two following alternatives to evidence compliance with the Rule:Alternative 1, completion of a transaction or event that enabled the Company to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, and disclosure of that event, along with certain other information, in a public filing with the SEC, including that as of the date of the report, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and a disclosure stating that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement; orAlternative 2, completion of a transaction or event that enabled the Company to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, and disclosure of that event, along with certain other information, in a public filing with the SEC, including pro forma adjustments and a pro forma balance sheet must evidence compliance with the Rule, and disclosure that the Company believes it has regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and a disclosure stating that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement. Additionally, in either case the Company is required to disclose that if at the time of its next periodic report, the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting.
Regardless of which alternative the Company chooses, if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its next periodic report with the SEC and Nasdaq, the Company may be subject to delisting. In the event the Company does not satisfy these terms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
There is also no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market for any period of time by perpetually satisfying Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. Our failure to continue to meet these requirements may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.
Among the conditions required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq requires us to maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity or $500,000 in net income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years. As discussed above of June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, our stockholders’ equity was below $2.5 million and we did not otherwise meet the net income requirements described above, and as such, we are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continue listing standards. If we fail to timely remedy our compliance with the applicable requirements, our stock may be delisted.
Additional requirements we must meet to continue our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market include the requirement that we maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share.
Even if we demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq, we will have to continue to meet other objective and subjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market could make trading our common stock more difficult for investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. Without a Nasdaq Capital Market listing, stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult, and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pink market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In the event our common stock is delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.
