Current report

Our prioritizing stem cell therapy products permitted under SB 1768 may not be successful.

Current report

The state of Florida enacted a new “stem cell therapy” law, SB 1768, effective July 1, 2025. The legislation authorizes licensed physicians to administer non-FDA-approved stem cell and other human tissue-derived therapies for orthopedic, wound care, and pain management indications, subject to compliance with cGMP and other regulations related to SB 1768. Zeo expects that SB 1768 will create substantial new demand for its current and future stem cell therapy products and accordingly has elected to prioritize development of these products, either directly or through collaborations, such as its strategic partnership with Cytora and Made Scientific. Moreover, as the stem cell therapies permitted under SB 1768 are not FDA approved, there can be no assurance that the FDA may seek to halt their use. In light of all of the above, Zeo’s efforts with respect to the development, manufacture and marketing of stem cell products and its collaboration with Cytora and Made ScientifiX with respect thereto will be successful and generate significant revenues and profits. In such event, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Current report

A general slowdown in the global economy, including a recession, or in a particular region or industry, an increase in trade tensions with U.S. trading partners, the imposition of tariffs, inflation or a tightening of the credit markets could negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity. Adverse global economic conditions have from time to time caused or exacerbated significant slowdowns in the industries and markets in which we operate, which have adversely affected our business and results of operations. Macroeconomic weakness and uncertainty also make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast revenue, gross margin and expenses, and may make it more difficult to raise or refinance debt.

Current report

Our planned stem cell therapeutic products will be subject to compliance with the regulations related to SB 1768 with regard to sales in the state of Florida, with statutes and regulations which may be adopted in other states with respect to similar stem cell therapeutic products, as well as applicable FDA regulation for other applications.
Removed paragraphs (4)

Previous report

We currently rely on non-exclusive supply arrangements with birth tissue recovery companies for obtaining the raw material used in manufacturing the products we sell.

Previous report

If our current supply arrangements with birth tissue recovery companies or third-party manufacturers or distributors of products from third party manufacturers are disrupted for any reason, we may not be able to provide products to our customers, or if other supply arrangements can be made, the products and terms may not be as favorable, and that will adversely impact our operations and profitability.

Previous report

We depend on a limited number of third-party suppliers for the raw materials and supplies for our RAAM research and development and the manufacturing of our RAAM placental-related products, and the loss of any of these suppliers, or their inability to provide us with an adequate supply of materials, could harm our business.

Previous report

We may not procure volumes sufficient to receive favorable pricing, which could impact our gross margins if we are unable to pass along price differences to our customers. Recent global economic cost inflation trends could unfavorably impact pricing from our suppliers.

Previous wording

The Company incurred net losses of $4,705,000 and $6,987,000 for the years ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company had accumulated deficits of $62,213,000, and $57,508,000 at October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively, accumulated stockholders deficit of $1,653,000 and $1,241,000 at October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively, and had a working capital deficit of $2,123,000, and $1,808,000 at October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. In their report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, our auditors have expressed that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred operating losses since our formation and expect to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures for the next several years and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.

Previous wording

Our current business operations, including our laboratory and processing facility have only been operating since May 2019. Therefore, we have a relatively short operating history upon which an evaluation of our current business plan or performance and prospects can be made. The business and prospects of the Company must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connection with a relatively new established business. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that we will not be able to develop or identify functional and scalable products and services, or that although functional and scalable, our products and services will not be economical to market; that our competitors hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing such products; that our competitors market a superior or equivalent product; that we are not able to upgrade and enhance our technologies and products to accommodate new features and expanded service offerings; or the failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances for our products. To successfully introduce and market our products at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that the Company can successfully address these challenges. If it is unsuccessful, the Company and its business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

Previous wording

Our current birth tissue supply arrangements for manufacturing the products we sell and our third-party supply arrangements for the supply of products we sell provide for the supply and pricing for those products. There can be no assurance that our suppliers will continue to produce the products that we currently purchase under our existing arrangements, that our suppliers will be able to comply with the required FDA regulations for the manufacturing of such products, that our suppliers will continue to develop technology associated with their manufactured products to remain competitive with other companies, or that our suppliers will remain a going concern in the future. If any of our suppliers were to cause a disruption in our ability to obtain products as desired and expected and/or we are not provided advance notice of such potential disruption, we may not be able to timely identify and replace our current suppliers, if at all, and as a result, we may not be able to provide products to our customers, which will have an adverse impact to our operations.

Previous wording

The Company had working capital deficits of $2,123,000 and $1,808,000 at October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s efforts to establish a stabilized source of sufficient revenues to cover operating costs has yet to be achieved and ultimately may prove to be unsuccessful unless additional sources of working capital through operations or debt and/or equity financings are realized. Management anticipates that the Company will remain dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund ongoing operating expenses. The Company does not have significant fixed and/or intangible assets to pledge for the purpose of borrowing additional capital. In addition, the Company relies on short term supply agreements to obtain the supply of raw materials used in manufacturing the products it currently sells and distributes to its customers. The Company’s current market capitalization and common stock liquidity will hinder its ability to raise equity proceeds to implement its business plan and could adversely affect the value of our securities, including the common stock.

Previous wording

Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the effects of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, lingering threat of pandemics, increased inflation and rising interest rates. The general economic and capital market conditions, both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected the Company’s access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, the Company’s future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected. Our vendors may experience financial difficulties or be unable to borrow money to fund their operations, which may adversely impact their ability to purchase our products or to pay for our products on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, adverse economic conditions, such as recent supply chain disruptions and labor shortages and persistent inflation, have affected, and may continue to adversely affect our suppliers’ ability to provide our manufacturers with materials and components, which may negatively impact our business. These economic conditions make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities.

Current wording

Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the effects of the current U.S. policy of imposing tariffs, the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, between Israel and Hamas, and potentially with Iran, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, increased inflation and rising interest rates.

Our products are dependent on the availability of sufficient quantities of tissue from human donors, and any disruption in supply could adversely affect our business.

Current wording

Our products are dependent on the availability of sufficient quantities of stem cell and tissue donors, and any disruption in supply could adversely affect our business.

Previous wording

The success of the human tissue products we sell depends upon, among other factors, the availability of sufficient quantities of tissue from human donors. The availability of donated tissue could be adversely impacted by regulatory changes, public opinion of the donor process as well as our and our suppliers’ reputations in the industry. Any disruption in the supply of donated human tissue could restrict our growth and could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. We cannot be sure that the supply of human tissue will continue to be available at current levels or will be sufficient to meet our future needs.

From time to time, we may implement or may acquire new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business. There are risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed or are evolving. In developing and marketing new lines of business and new products and services, we may invest significant time and resources. External factors, such as regulatory compliance obligations, competitive alternatives, and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

Two of our stockholders, Ian T. Bothwell (“Bothwell”), our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Greyt Ventures LLC (”Greyt”) hold our Series C Preferred Shares, which accord them 51% of the combined voting power of our capital stock, regardless of the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, Bothwell and Greyt have the ability to control the election of our directors and influence the outcome of issues submitted to our stockholders. As a consequence, it will be difficult, if not impossible for the other stockholders to remove our management. The voting control of the Company by Bothwell and Greyt could also deter unsolicited takeovers, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.
