ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. Our market risks are similar to those disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, and our other filings with the SEC, all of which are incorporated by reference herein.
Subsequent to filing our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are additional and/or updated risks factors below that you should carefully consider as well as the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended September 30, 2024 and the risk factors contained in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any registration statements that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect to update these Risk Factors from time to time in the periodic and current reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the date of this Form 8-K.
Exhaustion of our authorized shares of Common Stock.
As of June 30, 2025, we had exhausted all of our authorized shares of Common Stock and are unable to issue any additional shares of Common Stock. The exhaustion of authorized shares presents significant risks, including but not limited to, affecting our ability to raise capital, meet contractual obligations under outstanding preferred stock and convertible debt agreements, maintain stock liquidity, avoid dilution concerns, comply with regulatory requirements, and execute strategic initiatives.
Until we are able to hold a meeting of stockholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles”), and increase our authorized common shares, we may be unable to raise additional capital through equity and debt offerings, thereby limiting our capacity to finance operations, new projects, acquisitions, expansion initiatives, or meet our current obligations under our outstanding preferred stock and convertible debt agreements.
The exercise and conversion prices of securities subject to price adjustments, including certain warrants, outstanding convertible notes payable and our preferred stock may require further adjustment.
If in the future we sell our common stock at a price below $0.335 per share, the conversion price of (i) the outstanding shares of Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) promissory notes convertible into shares of our common stock; and (iii) warrants to purchase shares of common stock would adjust below $0.335 per share. The Company has the option to repay Lind in cash or common stock. Should we make our monthly payments in common stock, there may be a price adjustment.
We owe Clayton A. Struve, a significant stockholder, $1,071,000 under convertible promissory or OID notes under convertible promissory or OID notes. Mr. Struve also holds shares of Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The potential repricing adjustments that these convertible securities are entitled to may not be permitted without increasing our authorized common stock.
Ronald P. Erickson and J3E2A2Z, an entity affiliated controlled by Ronald P. Erickson holds shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock. The potential repricing adjustments that these convertible securities are entitled to may not be permitted without increasing our authorized common stock.
We were previously in default ofour convertible note with Lind Global Fund II, LP.
We were previously in default of that certain senior convertible note issued to Lind Global Fund II, LP as the result of having exhausted our authorized common stock and we may be subject to further default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the notes will become immediately due and payable and the Company must pay Lind an amount equal to 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of each note, in addition to any other remedies under the note or the other transaction documents. Events of default include, among others, the Company’s failure to make any note payment when due, a default in any indebtedness or adverse judgements in excess of $250,000, our failure to instruct its transfer agent to issue unlegended certificates, the Company’s shares of common stock no longer being public traded or listed on a national securities exchange, any stop order or trading suspension restricting the trading in our common stock, and our market capitalization is below $15 million for consecutive 10 days.
There is substantial doubt relating to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have recurring net losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $151 million as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $173,000. We have concluded that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the June 30, 2025 financial statements. Now that we have exhausted our authorized shares of common stock, we will be unable to continue to seek to raise additional working capital through public equity, private equity or convertible debt financings. If we fail to raise additional working capital, or do so on commercially unfavorable terms, it would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Summary of Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
| · | We might not be able to continue as a going concern. We believe that we have enough available cash and flexibility with its operating expenses to operate with the Promissory Note until the expected closing of the private placement discussed in Note 1. |
| · | We are still in the early stages of commercialization, refining our technology. Our success depends on our ability to conclude development and market devices that are recognized as accurate, safe, and cost-effective as other options currently available in the market and cleared by FDA. |
| · | We are subject to extensive regulation by FDA, which could restrict the sales and marketing of our products and could cause us to incur significant costs. |
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and Public Warrants
| · | The market price of our common stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment. |
| · | We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common stock or achieve the listing of the Public Warrants on the NYSE American. |
| · | We have exhausted all authorized common stock. Until we hold a meeting of Stockholders we have no authorized stock to issue which may result in default under certain outstanding convertible securities. |
| · | We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future. |
| · | Future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new common stock or the trading of outstanding common stock, could cause the market price of our securities to decline and would result in the dilution of your holdings. |
| · | Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock. |
| · | We may be unable to achieve FDA clearance of our KnowU™ product and a change in control of our company may not occur prior to the expiration of the Public Warrants, in which case the Public Warrants will not become exercisable for shares of our common stock. |
