Current report

We have a history of negative cash flows and will require additional financing to execute our business strategy.

Current report

We have incurred recurring losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations. We incurred net loss of $16.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we remain in a development and investment stage with respect to our digital asset and software initiatives and have not generated material revenue from these initiatives. Our ability to continue developing and deploying our software platforms depends on our ability to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to secure sufficient capital when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate development activities, reduce operating expenses, or otherwise materially modify our business plans. Any equity financing may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders, and debt or convertible debt financing may impose restrictive covenants that could adversely affect our operations.

Current report

We are in an early-stage development phase under our current business model.

Current report

Following the divestiture of our prior diagnostics business , we transitioned to a digital asset–focused software strategy. Our RWA + EAI initiatives remain in development phases and have not generated material revenue. We have limited operating history under our current business model, and investors have limited historical information upon which to evaluate our prospects. Our future success depends on our ability to successfully develop, deploy, and commercialize new software platforms in competitive and evolving markets.

Current report

Our ability to grow depends on several factors, including successful product development, user adoption, access to capital, technological performance, regulatory developments, and market conditions affecting digital assets. If we are unable to successfully execute our development plans, attract users, or compete effectively, our growth prospects may be limited. Additionally, evolving regulatory frameworks, economic conditions, or declines in digital asset market activity may constrain our ability to expand operations or generate revenue.

Current report

Our customer-facing platforms may not achieve user adoption or generate revenue.

Current report

The success of BesTrade and our planned RWA + EAI initiatives depends on our ability to attract and retain users. User adoption may be adversely affected by competition, market volatility, technological limitations, regulatory changes, or security concerns. If we are unable to achieve sufficient user engagement, our ability to generate subscription-based or other revenue from these platforms may be materially impaired.

Current report

Our software development efforts may be delayed, exceed budget, or fail to perform as intended.

Current report

The development of BesTrade and RWA + EAI involves technical complexity, integration challenges, and evolving product requirements. Development timelines may be extended due to technical obstacles, changes in regulatory requirements, resource constraints, or unforeseen operational issues. Internally developed systems may contain errors, defects, or vulnerabilities that could result in operational disruption, reputational harm, or financial loss.

Current report

Our AI Blockchain platform is internally developed and may not function as intended.

Current report

AI Blockchain is used internally to support digital asset portfolio monitoring, analytics, and operational oversight. As an internally developed and evolving system, it may contain errors, design limitations, or cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Failures or deficiencies in internal systems could impair decision-making, result in inaccurate reporting, or expose us to financial or operational risk.

Current report

We are exposed to significant digital asset price volatility.

Current report

We maintain digital assets as part of our treasury and investment activities, including our internally managed C10 portfolio. Digital asset markets have historically experienced significant price volatility. Market fluctuations may materially impact the fair value of our holdings and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Digital asset prices may be influenced by factors beyond our control, including regulatory developments, macroeconomic conditions, market sentiment, technological changes, and security events.

Current report

The regulatory environment surrounding digital assets, tokenization, and AI-enabled financial tools is evolving and uncertain.

Current report

Digital asset markets and tokenization initiatives are subject to evolving regulatory frameworks in the United States and internationally. Regulatory authorities may impose new or additional requirements relating to securities laws, commodities laws, anti-money laundering compliance, custody requirements, or other regulatory regimes. Changes in applicable regulations or regulatory interpretations could limit our ability to operate our platforms as currently contemplated, increase compliance costs, or require modification of our business model.

Current report

Our platforms could be subject to regulatory classification that imposes additional obligations.

Current report

BesTrade is designed to provide analytics and informational tools and does not operate as a broker, exchange, custodian, or trading venue. However, regulatory authorities may interpret aspects of our activities differently. If regulators were to determine that our activities require registration, licensing, or compliance with additional regulatory requirements, we could incur substantial costs, face operational limitations, or be required to modify or discontinue certain activities.

Current report

We depend on third-party service providers for technology infrastructure and digital asset custody.

Current report

We rely on third-party providers for hosting infrastructure, data services, and, where applicable, digital asset custody and related services. The failure, disruption, or insolvency of these providers, or cybersecurity incidents affecting them, could adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and reputation.

Current report

Our operations depend on the secure and reliable performance of our technology systems and infrastructure. Cybersecurity incidents, including unauthorized access, malware attacks, system disruptions, or data breaches, could result in operational interruptions, loss of digital assets, regulatory scrutiny, litigation, or reputational harm. As our platforms develop and potentially expand user engagement, our exposure to cybersecurity risk may increase.

Current report

Our “C10” Treasury strategy subjects our financial condition to extreme market volatility.

Current report

We hold a concentrated basket of digital assets. Because our Common Stock may trade as a high-beta proxy for these assets, our stock price may fluctuate significantly based on global crypto market swings, completely independent of our AI infrastructure.

Current report

Concentration of Control and Sole Custody of Digital Assets May Expose the Company to Significant Financial and Operational Risks

Current report

We have in the past, and may in the future, enter into partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, or strategic alliances with third parties. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining strategic relationships with these third parties or if these third parties fail to deliver certain services, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Current report

We have in the past, and may in the future, enter partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, or strategic alliances with third parties in connection with the development, operation, and enhancement of our platform and products and the provision of our services. Identifying strategic relationships with third parties and negotiating and documenting relationships with them may be time-consuming and complex and may distract management. Moreover, we may be delayed, or not be successful, in achieving the objectives that we anticipate as a result of such strategic relationships. For example, we rely on our strategic relationship with Faraday Future to fuel our decentralized AI models and on-chain strategies. If Faraday Future experiences financial distress, supply chain disruptions, or shifts its strategic priorities away from our partnership, we may lose access to the critical data required for our EAIRWA ecosystem. In evaluating counterparties in connection with partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures or strategic alliances, we consider a wide range of economic, legal and regulatory criteria depending on the nature of such relationship, including the counterparties’ reputation, operating results and financial condition, operational ability to satisfy our and our customers’ needs in a timely manner, efficiency and reliability of systems, certifications costs to us or to our customers, and licensure and compliance status. Despite this evaluation, third parties may still not meet our or our customers’ needs, which may adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to customers, and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. Counterparties to any strategic relationship may have economic or business interests or goals that are, or that may become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may subject us to additional risks to the extent any such third party becomes the subject of negative publicity, faces its own litigation or regulatory challenges, or faces other adverse circumstances. Conflicts may arise with our strategic partners, such as the interpretation of significant terms under any agreement, which may result in litigation or arbitration which would increase our expenses and divert the attention of our management. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining strategic relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Current report

The future development and growth of crypto is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to predict and evaluate. If crypto does not grow as we expect, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Current report

Crypto assets built on blockchain technology were only introduced in 2008 and remain in the early stages of development. In addition, different crypto assets are designed for different purposes. The further growth and development of any crypto assets and their underlying networks and other cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the creation, transfer, and usage of crypto assets represent a new and evolving paradigm that is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.

Current report

The crypto industry is highly innovative, rapidly evolving, and characterized by healthy competition, experimentation, changing customer needs, frequent introductions of new products and services, and subject to uncertain and evolving industry and regulatory requirements. We expect competition to intensify in the future as existing and new competitors introduce new products or enhance existing products. We face significant competition from a variety of companies around the world, in particular those located outside the United States, who at times are and may in the future be subject to significantly less stringent regulatory and compliance requirements in their local jurisdictions. Their business models rely on being unregulated or only regulated in a small number of lower compliance jurisdictions, whilst also offering their products in highly regulated jurisdictions, including the United States, without necessarily complying with the relevant regulatory requirements in such jurisdictions. Given the uneven enforcement by United States and foreign regulators, many of these competitors have been able to operate from offshore while offering large numbers of products and services to consumers, including in the United States, without complying with the relevant licensing and other requirements in these jurisdictions, and historically without penalty. We also have expended significant managerial, operational, and compliance costs to comply with laws and regulations applicable to us in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and expect to continue to incur significant costs to comply with these requirements, which these unregulated or less regulated competitors have not had to incur. As regulations and compliance requirements in the United States become clearer, we may face increased competition from companies based in the United States. Our current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources. If we are unable to compete successfully, or if competing successfully requires us to take costly actions in response to the actions of our competitors, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Current report

If we cannot keep pace with rapid industry changes to provide new and innovative products and services, the use of our products and services, and consequently our net revenue, could decline, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial

Current report

Our industry has been characterized by many rapid, significant, and disruptive products and services in recent years. We expect new services and technologies to continue to emerge and evolve, which may be superior to, or render obsolete, the products and services that we currently provide. For example, decentralized networks and other disruptive technologies such as generative AI may fundamentally alter the use of our products or services in unpredictable ways. We cannot predict the effects of new services and technologies on our business. However, our ability to grow our customer base and net revenue will depend heavily on our ability to innovate and create successful new products and services, both independently and in conjunction with third-party developers. In particular, developing and incorporating new products and services into our business may require substantial expenditures, take considerable time, and ultimately may not be successful. Any new products or services could fail to attract customers, generate revenue, or perform or integrate well with third-party applications and platforms. In addition, our ability to adapt and compete with new products and services may be inhibited by regulatory requirements and general uncertainty in the law or other factors. Moreover, we must continue to enhance our technical infrastructure and other technology offerings to remain competitive and maintain a platform that has the required functionality, performance, capacity, security, and speed to attract and retain customers. As a result, we expect to incur significant costs and expenses to develop and upgrade our technical infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of the industry. Our success will depend on our ability to develop, scale, and incorporate new offerings and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry practices. If we are unable to do so in a timely or cost-effective manner, our ability to successfully compete, to retain existing customers, and to attract new customers may be impacted and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Current report

A particular crypto asset, product or service’s status as a “security” in any relevant jurisdiction is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and if we are unable to properly characterize a crypto asset or product offering, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Current report

Whether or not an asset, product, or service is a security or constitutes a securities offering under federal securities laws is ultimately determined by a federal court. The legal test for determining whether any given crypto asset, product, or service is an investment contract security was set forth in the 1946 Supreme Court caseSEC v. W.J. Howey Co.and whether any given crypto asset, product, or service is a note in the 1990 Supreme Court caseReves v. Ernst & Young. The legal tests for determining whether any given crypto asset, product, or service is a security requires a highly complex, fact-driven analysis. Accordingly, whether any given crypto asset, product or service would be ultimately deemed by a federal court to be a security is uncertain and difficult to predict notwithstanding the conclusions of the SEC or any conclusions we may draw based on our risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular crypto asset, product or service could be deemed a “security” or “securities offering” under applicable laws.

Current report

The theft, loss, or destruction of private keys required to access any crypto assets held in custody for our own account. If we are unable to access our private keys or if we experience a hack or other data loss relating to our ability to access any crypto assets, it could cause regulatory scrutiny, reputational harm, and other losses.

Current report

Crypto assets are generally controllable only by the possessor of the unique private key relating to the digital wallet in which the crypto assets are held. While blockchain protocols typically require public addresses to be published when used in a transaction, private keys must be secured and kept private in order to prevent a third party from accessing the crypto assets held in such a wallet. To the extent that any of the private keys relating to our wallets containing crypto assets held for our own account is lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised or unavailable, and no backup of the private key is accessible, we will be unable to access the crypto assets held in the related wallet. Further, we cannot provide assurance that our wallets will not be hacked or compromised. Crypto assets and blockchain technologies have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, hacking, or other malicious activities.

Current report

We began to transition our operations in 2025 and since then our business model has continued to evolve. Our limited operating history and the volatile nature of our business make it difficult to evaluate our current business and our future prospects. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties as described in this section. If we do not manage these risks successfully, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Current report

Key business metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement and change as our business evolves, and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected by real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics or any changes in metrics we disclose.

Current report

We regularly review our key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, and make strategic decisions. These key business metrics are calculated using internal company data and have not been validated by an independent third-party. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement at the time of reporting, there are inherent challenges in such measurements. If we fail to maintain an effective analytics platform, our key business metrics calculations may be inaccurate, and we may not be able to identify those inaccuracies. Additionally, we may in the future calculate certain key business metrics using third-party data. While we believe the third-party data we have used in the past or may use in the future is reliable, we have not independently verified and may not in the future independently verify the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in such sources and there can be no assurance that such data is free of error. Any inaccuracy in the third-party data we use could cause us to overstate or understate our key business metrics. We generally will not update previously disclosed key business metrics for any such inaccuracies or adjustments that are immaterial. We may change our key business metrics from time to time, which may be perceived negatively. Given the rapid evolution of the crypto markets and our revenue sources, we regularly evaluate whether our key business metrics remain meaningful indicators of the performance of our business. Further if investors or the media perceive any changes to our key business metrics disclosures negatively, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Current report

The crypto asset market has been characterized by significant volatility and unexpected price movements, and has experienced significant declines in the past.

Current report

Our performance is subject to general economic conditions, and their impact on the crypto asset markets and our customers. The United States and other key international economies have experienced cyclical downturns from time to time in which economic activity declined resulting in lower consumption rates, restricted credit, reduced profitability, weaknesses in financial markets, bankruptcies, and overall uncertainty with respect to the economy. Adverse general economic conditions have impacted in the past, and may impact in the future, the cryptoeconomy, although the extent of such impacts remains uncertain and dependent on a variety of factors, including market adoption of crypto assets, global trends in the cryptoeconomy, central bank monetary policies, instability in the global banking system, volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets, and other events beyond our control. Geopolitical developments, such as trade wars and foreign exchange limitations can also increase the severity and levels of unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial and crypto asset markets. To the extent general economic conditions and crypto assets markets materially deteriorate or decline for a prolonged period, our ability to generate revenue and to attract and retain customers could suffer and our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Moreover, even if general economic conditions were to improve following any such deterioration, there is no guarantee that the cryptoeconomy would similarly improve.

Removed paragraphs (58)

Previous report

Various factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Previous report

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception, including a net loss of $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has an accumulated deficit of $123.1 million as of December 31, 2024. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and to secure additional sources of equity and/or debt financing. Despite the Company’s intent to fund operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, there is no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Previous report

Our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit report regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern risk may materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity or may adversely affect the terms upon which such capital may be available. The inability to obtain sufficient financing on acceptable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and business prospects.

Previous report

The Company is actively pursuing strategies to mitigate these risks. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will prove successful or that the Company will achieve its intended financial stability. The failure to successfully address these going concern risks may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Investors should consider the substantial risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business before investing in the Company’s securities.

Previous report

Any failure to develop or maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting or difficulties encountered in implementing or improving our internal controls over financial reporting could harm our operating results and prevent us from meeting our reporting obligations.

Previous report

Effective internal controls, particularly those related to financial reporting, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly. In addition, investors relying upon this misinformation could make an uninformed investment decision, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities or to stockholder class action securities litigation.

Previous report

In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 audit”), our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of accounting department resources and/or policies and procedures to ensure recording and disclosure of items in compliance with U.S. GAAP. This material weakness resulted in adjustments to our prepaid expense accounts and recording short term notes receivable net of current expected credit losses in connection with the 2024 audit. In response to the material weakness, we took a number of remediation steps to enhance our internal controls, including implementing additional procedures and utilizing external consulting resources with experience and expertise in U.S. GAAP and public company accounting and reporting requirements to assist management with its accounting and reporting of complex and/or non-recurring transactions and related disclosures.

Previous report

In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 audit”), our management determined that the material weakness identified in connection with the 2024 audit had not been fully remediated and resulted in adjustments to the accounting treatment related toour prepaid expense accounts and recording short term notes receivable net of current expected credit losses during the 2024 audit, which resulted in the late filing of the 2024 Annual Report.

Previous report

During the year ended December 31, 2024 audit, we identified the lack of sufficient number of personnel within the accounting function to adequately segregate duties, the Company did not have a designed and implemented effective Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”) related to access controls to financial accounting system, and the Company did not have formalized documentation of its processes and controls that could be evaluated for proper design and implementation.

Previous report

We intend to continue to take steps to enhance our internal controls, including implementing additional internal procedures and utilizing well-established external consulting resources with experience and expertise in U.S. GAAP and public company accounting and reporting requirements.

Previous report

If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses and achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls, our business could be adversely affected.

Previous report

Continued uncertain economic conditions, including inflation and the risk of a global recession could impair our ability to forecast and may harm our business, operating results, including our revenue growth and profitability, financial condition and cash flows.

Previous report

While U.S. inflation rates have come down substantially from their 2022 highs, the U.S. economy is still experiencing higher than target inflation rates, and high levels of inflation persist in many countries around the world. Historically, we have not experienced significant inflation risk in our business. The global economy suffers from slowing growth and elevated interest rates, and many economists are still unsure whether a global recession may begin in the near future. If the global economy slows, our business would likely be adversely affected.

Previous report

There are growing risks related to the security, confidentiality and integrity of personal and corporate information stored and transmitted electronically due to increasingly diverse and sophisticated threats to networks, systems and data security. Potential attacks span a spectrum from attacks by criminal hackers, hacktivists, and nation state or state-sponsored actors, to employee malfeasance and human or technological error.

Previous report

Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems, and those of third parties on which we rely (including our vendors, contractors and other third-party partners who process information on our behalf or have access to our systems), are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing attacks and other forms of social engineering, denial-of-service attacks, third party or employee theft or misuse and other negligent actions, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, cyberattacks or cyber-intrusions over the internet, security incidents, disruptions, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyberattacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our product development programs. To the extent that any disruption or security breach was to result in a loss of or damage to our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur material legal claims (including class claims) and liability, substantial remediation costs, regulatory enforcement, liability under data protection laws, additional reporting requirements and damage to our reputation, and the further development of our product lines could be delayed.

Previous report

Our ability to achieve our expansion objectives and to manage our growth effectively depends upon a variety of factors, including our ability to attract and retain skilled employees, to successfully position and market our product candidates when available, to protect our existing intellectual property, to capitalize on the potential opportunities we are pursuing with third parties and to acquire sufficient funding whether internally or externally. To accommodate growth and compete effectively, we will need cash to fund our operations, including continuing our research and development efforts on our product candidates, develop additional procedures and controls and increase, train, motivate and manage our workforce. There is no assurance that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our potential future operations.

Previous report

We will need additional financing in order to grow our business.

Previous report

From time to time, in order to expand operations to meet customer demand, we will need to incur additional capital expenditures. These capital expenditures are intended to be funded from third party sources, including the incurring of debt and/or the sale of additional equity securities. In addition to requiring additional financing to fund capital expenditures, we may require additional financing to fund working capital, research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative expenditures and operating losses. The incurrence of debt creates additional financial leverage and therefore an increase in the financial risk of our operations. The sale of additional equity securities will be dilutive to the interests of current equity holders. In addition, there can be no assurance that such additional financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to us or that it will be available on acceptable commercial terms. Any inability to secure such additional financing on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Previous report

Geopolitical conditions, including direct or indirect acts of war or terrorism, could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

Previous report

Our operations could be disrupted by geopolitical conditions, political and social instability, acts of war, terrorist activity or other similar events. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of current global conflicts, although such consequences can include rising geopolitical tensions, rising regional instability, geopolitical shifts, cyberattacks or the disruption of energy exports for the parties involved, neighboring parties, or supporting parties of these conflicts or their resulting sanctions. Such consequences could materially adversely affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies and the global economy. These situations remain uncertain, and while it is difficult to predict the impact of any of the foregoing, these conflicts and actions taken in response to these conflicts could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, reduce our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous report

We are subject to litigation, which could result in significant expenses and negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous report

On January 29, 2025, Lifesci Capital LC (“Lifesci”) filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging breach of contract and seeking damages in the amount of $503,483. We believe that no amount is owed to Lifesci under the agreement at issue and are vigorously defending against the claims. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and costly, and we cannot guarantee the outcome. An adverse result in this or other legal matters could materially impact our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous report

Risks related to regulatory approval

Previous report

Even if our development efforts are successful, we may not obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates in the United States or other jurisdictions, which would prevent us from commercializing our product candidates. Even if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, any such approval may be subject to limitations, including with respect to the approved indications or patient populations, which could impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates.

Previous report

We are not permitted to market or promote or sell any of our product candidates before we receive regulatory approval from the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, and we may never receive such regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. Securing marketing approval requires the submission of extensive preclinical and clinical data and supporting information to regulatory authorities for each therapeutic indication to establish the product candidate’s safety and efficacy for that indication. Securing marketing approval also requires the submission of information about the product manufacturing process to, and inspection or remote regulatory assessment of manufacturing facilities and clinical trial sites by, the regulatory authorities. If we do not receive approval from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities for any of our product candidates, we will not be able to commercialize such product candidates in the United States or in other jurisdictions. If significant delays in obtaining approval for and commercializing our product candidates occur in any jurisdiction, our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and prospects will be materially harmed. Even if our product candidates are approved, they may:

Previous report

The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable. If we are not able to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, required regulatory approvals, we will not be able to commercialize our product candidates as expected, and our ability to generate revenue may be materially impaired.

Previous report

The time required to obtain approval by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities is unpredictable but typically takes many years following the commencement of clinical trials and depends upon numerous factors, including the substantial discretion of the regulatory authorities. In addition, approval policies, regulations, or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate’s clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions and there may be varying interpretations of data obtained from preclinical studies or clinical trials, any of which may cause delays or limitations in the approval or a decision not to approve an application. These regulatory requirements may require us to amend our clinical trial protocols, conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials that may require regulatory or IRB approval, or otherwise cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. Any delay in obtaining or failure to obtain required approvals could materially adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from the particular product candidate, which may materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and prospects.

Previous report

If we experience delays in obtaining approval, if we fail to obtain approval of a product candidate or if the label for a product candidate does not include the labeling claims necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of that product candidate, the commercial prospects for such product candidate may be harmed and our ability to generate revenues from that product candidate may be materially impaired.

Previous report

As product candidates are developed through preclinical studies to later stage clinical trials towards approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods, facilities, equipment and formulation, are altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and results. Any of these changes could cause our product candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials conducted with the altered materials. Such changes may also require additional testing, or notification to, or approval by the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority. This could delay completion of clinical trials, require the conduct of bridging clinical trials or studies, require the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of our product candidates and/or jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenue.

Previous report

Regulatory approval by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities is limited to those specific indications and conditions for which approval has been granted, and we may be subject to substantial fines, penalties, injunctions, or other enforcement actions, including criminal actions, if we are determined to be promoting the use of our products for unapproved or “off label” uses, resulting in damage to our reputation and business.

Previous report

We must comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotion for any product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval. Promotional communications with respect to therapeutics are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions and continuing review by the FDA, Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General, state attorneys general, members of Congress, and the public. When the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities issue regulatory approval for a product candidate, the regulatory approval is limited to those specific uses and indications for which a product is approved. If we are not able to obtain FDA approval for desired uses or indications for our product candidates, we may not market or promote them for those indications and uses, referred to as off label uses, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and prospects may be materially harmed. We also must sufficiently substantiate any claims that we make for our products, including claims comparing our products to other companies’ products, and must abide by the FDA’s strict requirements regarding the content of promotion and advertising.

Previous report

While physicians may choose to prescribe products for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and for uses that differ from those tested in clinical trials and approved by the regulatory authorities, we are prohibited from marketing and promoting the products for indications and uses that are not specifically approved by the FDA. These off label uses are common across medical specialties and may constitute an appropriate treatment for some patients in varied circumstances. Regulatory authorities in the United States generally do not restrict or regulate the behavior of physicians in their choice of treatment within the practice of medicine. Regulatory authorities do, however, restrict communications by biopharmaceutical companies concerning off label use.

Previous report

If we are found to have impermissibly promoted any of our product candidates, we may become subject to significant liability and government fines. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations regarding product promotion, particularly those prohibiting the promotion of off label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted a product may be subject to significant sanctions. The federal government has levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion and has enjoined several companies from engaging in off label promotion. The FDA has also requested that companies enter into consent decrees or permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct is changed or curtailed.

Previous report

In the United States, engaging in the impermissible promotion of our products, following approval, for off label uses can also subject us to false claims and other litigation under federal and state statutes. These include fraud and abuse and consumer protection laws, which can lead to civil penalties, and criminal fines and agreements with governmental authorities that materially restrict the manner in which we promote or distribute therapeutic products and conduct our business. These restrictions could include corporate integrity agreements and non- or deferred prosecution agreements and could lead to exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, and suspension and debarment from government contracts and refusal of orders under existing government contracts. These False Claims Act lawsuits against manufacturers of drugs and biologics have increased significantly in volume and breadth. In addition, False Claims Act lawsuits may expose manufacturers to follow-on claims by private payers based on fraudulent marketing practices. This growth in litigation has increased the risk that a biopharmaceutical company will have to defend a false claims action, pay civil penalties, criminal fines or restitution, agree to comply with burdensome reporting and compliance obligations, and be excluded from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal and state healthcare programs. If we do not lawfully promote our approved products, if any, we may become subject to such litigation and, if we do not successfully defend against such actions, those actions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and prospects.

Previous report

Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval will be subject to extensive and ongoing requirements of and review by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities, including requirements related to the manufacturing processes, post approval clinical data, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, shortage reporting, risk management plans, supply chain security, storage, recordkeeping, export, import, advertising, marketing, and promotional activities for such product. These requirements further include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information, including manufacturing deviations and reports, registration and listing requirements, the payment of annual fees, continued compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, requirements relating to manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and good clinical practices, or GCPs, for any clinical trials that we conduct post approval.

Previous report

The FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities will continue to closely monitor the safety profile of any product even after approval. If the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities become aware of new safety information after approval of any of our product candidates, they may withdraw approval, issue public safety alerts, require labeling changes or establishment of a REMS or similar strategy, impose significant restrictions on a product’s indicated uses or marketing, or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post approval studies or post-market surveillance. Any such restrictions could limit sales of the product.

Previous report

We and any of our suppliers or collaborators, including our contract manufacturers, could be subject to periodic unannounced inspections or remote regulatory assessments by the FDA to monitor and ensure compliance with cGMPs and other FDA regulatory requirements. Application holders must further notify the FDA, and depending on the nature of the change, obtain FDA preapproval for product and manufacturing changes.

Previous report

In addition, later discovery of previously unknown adverse events or that the product is less effective than previously thought or other problems with our products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements both before and after approval, may yield various negative results, including:

Previous report

Any of these events could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the particular product candidate, if approved, or could substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing such product, which in turn could delay or prevent us from generating significant revenues from its marketing and sale. Any of these events could further have other material and adverse effects on our operations and business and could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and prospects.

Previous report

Should any of the above actions take place, we could be prevented from or significantly delayed in achieving profitability. Further, the cost of compliance with post approval regulations may have a negative effect on our operations and business and could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price and prospects.
