Removed paragraphs (24)
Previous report
We have a history of losses and may not sustain profitability. Operating losses could continue, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
We have a history of losses and may not sustain profitability. Since our inception, we have incurred recurring operating losses, generated negative cash flows from operations, and financed our operations principally through equity raises and borrowings. Future profitability is difficult to predict with certainty, and failure to maintain profitability could materially and adversely affect our overall value and ability to obtain additional financing and capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient future cash flows from operations due to various potential factors, including but not limited to inflation, recession or decreased demand for our products. If our revenues decrease from current levels, we may be unable to further reduce costs, or such cost reductions may limit our ability to pursue and implement strategic initiatives and grow revenues in the future. We may require additional debt or equity financing in the future, and such financing may not be available when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our ability to reduce operating expenses or raise capital from external sources, if at all, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Those factors, coupled with our current cash balance and current debt obligations, continue to raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
We may need to raise additional capital in the future in order to support our operations and strategic plans, which may not be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all.
Previous report
We may need to raise additional capital in the future to support our operations and strategic plans. We have a history of losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, and we may continue to incur operating losses. Our current liquidity position, recurring operating losses, and negative cash flows from operations since inception raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report are issued.
Previous report
Our ability to raise capital as we have done in recent years may not always be successful, and we may need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations in order to remain as a going concern. Though we obtained equity financing through our public offering in October 2025, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through future equity offerings, the ownership interest of common stockholders will be diluted, which dilution may be significant. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any or sufficient additional funding or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us. Failure to secure additional funding may require us to modify, delay or abandon some of our planned future development, or to otherwise enact further operating cost reductions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and ability to achieve our intended business objectives.
Previous report
Substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may materially and adversely affect the price per share of our common stock, and it may be more difficult for us to obtain financing. If potential investors decline to participate in any future financings due to such concerns, our ability to increase our cash position may be limited. The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause others to choose not to deal with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual obligations.
Previous report
We have prepared our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible inability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the filing of this Report. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you could lose all or part of your investment.
Previous report
In addition, we have in the past and may in the future maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.
Previous report
We may still need additional funding to fund our operations, but additional funds may not be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all. We may seek funds through borrowings or additional rounds of financing, including private or public equity or debt offerings, or by other means. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
Previous report
•the timing, receipt and amount of sales from our current and future products and services;
Previous report
•the cost and timing of manufacturing, either ourselves or through third party manufacturers, our products and services;
Previous report
•the cost and timing of expanding our sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
Previous report
•the terms and timing of any other partnership, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;
Previous report
•the costs and timing of securing regulatory approvals or certifications;
Previous report
•any product liability or other lawsuits related to our current or future products and services;
Previous report
•costs associated with any adverse market conditions or other macroeconomic factors;
Previous report
•the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies.
Previous report
If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We also could be required to seek funds through arrangements with partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights or jointly own some aspects of our technologies, products or services that we would otherwise pursue on our own.
Previous report
Changes in tax laws may impact our future financial position and results of operations.
Previous report
The rules and regulations related to income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances in the United States are subject to change and can be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us, any of which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. For example, OBBBA introduced a broad range of changes to the U.S. federal income tax regime, including the extension of key provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions, including reinstating the option to claim 100% accelerated depreciation deductions on qualified property, with retroactive application beginning January 20, 2025, and immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, with retroactive application beginning January 1, 2025, among others. We continue to evaluate the impact of the legislation on our business and our tax liability as additional guidance becomes available.
Previous report
Further, any changes in regulations or policies related to taxation and importation, including as a result of increased tariffs, could adversely impact the global economy and our operating results. In addition, as we expand our business internationally, the application and implementation of existing, new or future international laws regarding indirect taxes (such as a Value Added Tax) could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that future U.S. or international tax regulatory changes have a negative impact on us, including as a result of related uncertainty, these changes could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial position and may require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize increases in our tax liability.
Previous report
The commerce we conduct in the international marketplace makes us subject to tariffs, trade restrictions and other taxes when the raw materials or components we purchase, and the products we ship, cross international borders. In particular, the U.S. has imposed increased tariffs on certain countries, focusing on those with which it has the largest trade deficits. Other countries have responded, and may continue to respond, by announcing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. The tariffs have disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, the global markets and escalate tensions between the U.S. and other countries.
Previous report
We source products primarily from Thailand and Vietnam. Increases in tariffs, trade restrictions, or taxes on our products could have an adverse impact on our operations. Our camera products are currently produced in Vietnam. As of the date of this Report on Form 10-Q, imports from Vietnam are subject to a 20% tariff, with a higher 40% tariff in place for products deemed to have been“transshipped” from another country. Our Dream Sock, BabySat and Dream Duo products, primarily sourced from Thailand, are also subject a 19% tariff. To the extent these tariffs increase our costs of goods sold, it could materially adversely impact our profitability, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent we alter our pricing as a result of such tariffs, it could reduce demand for our products or make our products less competitive than those of our competitors whose inputs are not subject to these tariffs, thereby decreasing our revenues and adversely impacting our results of operations. Products we sell into certain foreign markets could also become subject to similar retaliatory tariffs, making the products we sell less competitive compared to similar products not subjected to such import tariffs. The broader macroeconomic impact of these tariffs could also pressure our business. Tariffs can contribute to inflation by increasing the cost of imported goods, which can erode consumer purchasing power and lead to less overall spending. In such an environment, demand for our products could decrease as consumers may prioritize other goods and services. Furthermore, any resulting shifts in U.S. monetary policy to combat inflation, such as interest rate hikes, could further constrain consumer spending.
Previous report
Changes in U.S. trade policies, tariffs, taxes, export restrictions, or other trade barriers, have and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, the U.S. government has initiated, and may continue to initiate, investigations under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, including investigations into imports of medical devices, which could lead to the imposition of substantially higher tariffs. Tariffs announced in 2025 have adversely impacted our cost of goods sold and gross margins, and any subsequent changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs or restrictions on raw materials or components, may further limit our ability to produce products, increase our manufacturing costs, decrease our profit margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or inhibit our ability to sell products or purchase necessary raw materials or components, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
