Risk Factors Dashboard
Once a year, publicly traded companies issue a comprehensive report of their business, called a 10-K. A component mandated in the 10-K is the ‘Risk Factors’ section, where companies disclose any major potential risks that they may face. This dashboard highlights all major changes and additions in new 10K reports, allowing investors to quickly identify new potential risks and opportunities.

The following risk factors and other information included in this Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occurs, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our plan of operation is to obtain debt or equity financing to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to develop our operations and related opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that any of our operations can successfully be developed to their full potential that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after such a transaction has been completed. Any current transaction contemplated by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our current stockholders.
There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that may be developing alternatives that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

You should be aware that there are various risks associated with our business, including the risks discussed below. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this annual report, in evaluating our business and us.
There can be no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed or that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after our business plan has been implemented.
Risks Related to Our Company
We have a retained deficit and anticipate future losses. As of September 30, 2025, we had a retained deficit of approximately $1,250,000. Future losses are likely to occur until we have opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders as we have no sources of income to meet our operating expenses. As a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, we will continue to incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements. As a result, we may not have sufficient funds to grow our operations. As a result of these, among other factors, we received from our registered independent public accountants in their report for the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025, an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our company has a limited operating history and an evolving business model which raises doubt about our ability to achieve profitability or obtain financing. Our company only has a couple of years of operating history. Our company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operations and we have a limited history of performance, revenue, earnings, and success. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability or obtain future financing. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that may be developing alternatives that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

Investors should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this annual report, in evaluating our business and us. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this annual report, in evaluating our business and us. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this annual report, in evaluating our business and us.
There can be no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed or that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after our business plan has been implemented.
The speculative nature of our business plan may result in the loss of investor’s investment. Our operations are in the start-up or stage only and are unproven. We may not be successful in implementing our business plan to become profitable. There may be less demand for our services than we anticipate. There is no assurance that our business will succeed, and investors may lose their entire investment.
The business plan and operations of the Company have been delayed in the past as we were confronted by further delays in implementing our plan. One of the delays were the result of the death of Dr. Bryon Blagburn in April 2024, who was a leading pioneer in breath analysis in animals and was engaged by our company to direct our heartworm testing protocols. We were able to replace Dr. Blagburn with Dr. Lindsay Starkey and Dr. Elyssa Campbell, a parasitologist. Further, in the future, we may be delayed in implementing our business plan for a number of reasons, including lack of capital, issues with testing our products and our inability to hire and train additional personnel. As such, it is possible that we may not meet all, or any, of the goals we have outlined in our business plan. In the event that we cannot develop the means to progress our business plan, it is possible that we may eventually cease all Company activity.
General economic factors may negatively impact the market for our veterinary products. The willingness of pet owners and the agricultural industry to spend money on our products may be dependent upon general economic conditions; and any material downturn may reduce the likelihood of such parties incurring costs toward what some consumers may consider a discretionary expense item.
13
A wide range of economic and logistical factors may negatively impact our operating results. Our operating results will be affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially affect revenues and profitability, including the timing and cancellation of customer orders and projects, competitive pressures on pricing, availability of personnel, and market acceptance of our services. As a result, we may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly and annual basis which could materially affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
If we fail to advertise effectively and efficiently, the growth of our business may be compromised. The future growth and profitability of our business will be dependent in part on the effectiveness and efficiency of our advertising and promotional expenditures, including our ability to (i) create greater awareness of our services and their value proposition, (ii) determine the appropriate creative message and media mix for future advertising expenditures, and (iii) effectively manage advertising and promotional costs in order to maintain acceptable operating margins. There can be no assurance that we will experience benefits from advertising and promotional expenditures in the future. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability or obtain future financing. In addition, no assurance can be given that our planned advertising and promotional expenditures will result in increased revenues, will generate levels of service and name awareness or that we will be able to manage such advertising and promotional expenditures on a cost-effective basis.
We have a limited operating history with losses, and we expect the losses to continue, which raises concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have generated minimal revenues since our inception and will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses with minimal revenues until we are able to successfully develop our business. Our business plan will require us to incur further expenses. We may not be able to ever become profitable. We have no sources of income at this time and no existing cash balances to meet our ongoing operating expenses. In the short term, unless we are able to raise additional debt and/or equity we shall be unable to meet our ongoing operating expenses. On a longer-term basis, we intend to raise the debt and/or equity to meet our ongoing operating expenses and merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed. These circumstances raise concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the start-up stage. Our management has been able, thus far, to finance the operations through equity financing and cash on hand. There is no assurance that our company will be able to continue to finance our company on this basis.
Without additional financing to develop our business plan, our business may fail. Because we have generated only minimal revenue from our business and cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate meaningful revenue from our business, we will need to raise additional funds to conduct and grow our business. We do not currently have sufficient financial resources to completely fund the development of our business plan. We anticipate that we will need to raise further financing. We can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing security-holders.
If we are unable to recruit or retain qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and stock price. Our success depends in large part on the continued services of our sole executive officer and third-party scientific and other relationships. We currently do not have key person insurance on these individuals. The loss of these people, especially without advance notice, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and our stock price. It is also very important that we be able to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense, and there are a limited number of people with the requisite knowledge and experience. Under these conditions, we could be unable to recruit, train, and retain employees. If we cannot attract and retain qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock price.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed. As we proceed with our business plan, we expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to add staff to market our services, manage operations, handle sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. We will be required to hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

It is possible that the Coronavirus (“Covid-19”) pandemic could cause long-lasting stock market volatility and weakness, as well as long-lasting recessionary effects on the United States and/or global economies. Should the negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses thereto result in continuing long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to expand our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company will not be able to sustain itself during any such long-term economic weakness. The COVID-19 pandemic has, to date, had minimal impact on our operations.
Our internal control over financial reporting may be ineffective. We do not have the internal infrastructure necessary, and are not required, to complete an attestation about our financial controls that would be required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There can be no assurances that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of our financial controls. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time when it becomes necessary to perform the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements.
If our techniques for managing risk are ineffective, we may be exposed to unanticipated losses. In order to manage the significant risks inherent in our business, we must maintain effective policies, procedures and systems that enable us to identify, monitor and control our exposure to market, operational, legal and reputational risks. Our risk management methods may prove to be ineffective due to their design or implementation or as a result of the lack of adequate, accurate or timely information. If our risk management efforts are ineffective, we could suffer losses or face litigation, particularly from our clients, and sanctions or fines from regulators. Our techniques for managing risks may not fully mitigate the risk exposure in all economic or market environments, or against all types of risk, including risks that we might fail to identify or anticipate. Any failures in our risk management techniques and strategies to accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit our ability to manage risks or to seek positive, risk-adjusted returns. In addition, any risk management failures could cause losses to be significantly greater than historical measures predict. Our more qualitative approach to managing those risks could prove insufficient, exposing us to unanticipated losses in our net asset value and therefore a reduction in our revenues.
We cannot assure that we will have the resources to repay all of our liabilities in the future. We have liabilities and may in the future have other liabilities to affiliated or unaffiliated lenders. These liabilities represent fixed costs, which are required to be paid regardless of the level of business or profitability experienced by us. We cannot assure that we will not incur debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our indebtedness or that we will not default on our debt, jeopardizing our business viability. Furthermore, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct our business. We may utilize purchase order financing from third party lenders when we are supplying or distributing consumer goods, which increases our costs and the risks that we may incur a default, which would harm its business reputation and financial condition. We cannot assure that we will be able to pay all of our liabilities, or that we will not experience a default on our indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay all of our liabilities, or that we will not experience a default on our indebtedness.
There is no assurance that Breath analysis in general will achieve results better than existing tests, including heartworm. Through all the testing and research to date, ample sizes to date, even with promising results, are not large enough to definitively say the VOCs that matter for a certain test (breath, environment, etc.) are wholly present or not.) are wholly present on all samples tested or not. Breath analysis in general may not achieve widespread adoption for any of its potential applications, including ours.
There is no assurance that Heartworm Breath Analysis will achieve or exceed current industry standards. As referred to in “Competition”, we are conducting further tests that may achieve better results than the current industry standards in the coming year due to advancements in tools available.
Reliance on Defiant Technologies Inc. License Agreement: Our ability to develop and commercialize future breath and air markers is heavily dependent on the License Agreement with Defiant Technologies Inc. for the use of its VOCAM Plus technology. We rely on patents, know-how, and proprietary technology licensed from Defiant Technologies to generate critical data unique to the VOCAM Plus system. This data is not transferable to alternative technologies from other vendors, and transitioning to new technology would require significant rework of data collection processes, potentially delaying or halting development. If the License Agreement with Defiant Technologies is terminated, not renewed, or if we are unable to secure continued access to the VOCAM Plus technology on commercially reasonable terms, we may be unable to sustain our development efforts. Furthermore, disputes may arise with Defiant Technologies regarding intellectual property subject to the License Agreement, including, but not limited to:
15
If such disputes prevent or impair our ability to maintain the License Agreement on acceptable terms, or if Defiant Technologies restricts our access to the VOCAM Plus technology, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize our breath and air marker products. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Related to Expired Patents on Licensed Technology: Our development and commercialization of breath and air marker products depend significantly on the License Agreement with Defiant Technologies Inc. for the VOCAM Plus technology, which includes certain patents, know-how, and proprietary technology. Some of the patents underlying this licensed technology have expired or may expire during the term of the License Agreement. Expired patents no longer provide exclusive rights to the technology, potentially allowing competitors to develop similar or identical technologies without infringing on patent protections. This could result in increased competition, reduced market share, and downward pressure on pricing for our products. Additionally, while we rely on Defiant Technologies’ know-how and proprietary technology to maintain a competitive advantage, there can be no assurance that these non-patented assets will sufficiently differentiate our products or prevent competitors from replicating key aspects of the VOCAM Plus technology. If we are unable to leverage the remaining patented technology, know-how, or proprietary advancements effectively, or if competitors develop comparable technologies, our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our breath and air marker products could be materially impaired, adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our stock will in all likelihood continue to be thinly traded and as a result investors may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if i investors need to liquidate their shares.
The shares of our common stock are currently thinly traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares of common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares of common stock until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares of common stock is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price.
We cannot give any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our shares of Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we cannot give investors any assurance that they will be able to sell their shares of common stock at or near ask prices or at all if investors need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares of common stock of our Company. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares of common stock at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares of common stock of our Company.
Risks Related to Securities Compliance and Regulation
As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us. Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

The regulation of Penny Stocks such as ours by the SEC and FINRA may have an effect on the tradability of our securities. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which investors can sell shares. Secondary trading in our common stock may not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of the common stock in any particular state, the common stock cannot be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock cannot be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted.
Rule 144 sales in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock price. All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. We are registering all of our outstanding shares so officers, directors and affiliates will be able to sell their shares if this Registration Statement becomes effective. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for one year may, under certain conditions, sell every three months in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of two years. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
17
There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements. Our company is not required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and, therefore, there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such independent evaluations.
We have conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations for the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and published in 2013, and subsequent guidance prepared by COSO specifically for smaller public companies. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not sufficient as of September 30, 2025 for the reasons discussed below:
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025:
| ● | The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked personnel with accounting expertise to meet our financial reporting requirements. |
| ● | Material Weakness – Inadequate segregation of duties. |
The management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses will remain until such time that the Company has the resources to increase the number of personnel committed to the performance of its financial duties that such weaknesses can be specifically addressed. This will include, but not limited to, the following:
| ● | Hiring of additional personnel to adequately segregate financial reporting duties. |
| ● | The retention of outside consultants to review our controls and procedures. |
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
As a non-listed company, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for independent board members. As a non-listed company we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer with a listing on a national stock exchange would be. Accordingly, we are not required to have (a) a board of directors of which a majority consists of independent directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (b) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (c) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/ corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (d) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (e) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.
18
Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our company’s competitors or our company itself. In addition, the over-the-counter stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations in general. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock. Our shares of common stock are traded on the OTCQX Markets. It is likely that our common stock will be subject to price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices quoted by market makers. Due to the low volume of shares traded on any trading day, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our common stock. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. If high spreads between the bid and ask prices of our common stock exist at the time of a purchase, the stock would have to appreciate substantially on a relative percentage basis for an investor to recoup their investment. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common stock will be sustained. If an active market does not continue, holders of our common stock may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their shares at all.
Risks Related to Purchasers of our Shares
We may seek additional capital that may result in stockholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our stockholders to experience dilution.
Investors may never realize any economic benefit from a purchase of our Shares. Because the market for our common stock is volatile, there is no assurance that investors will ever realize any economic benefit from their purchase of Shares.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and consequently investors’ ability to achieve a return on their investment depend on an appreciation in the price of our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends. The success of an investment in shares of our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.
Loss of control by our present management and stockholders may occur upon the issuance of additional shares. We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash, assets, or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of our voting power and equity. We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash, assets, or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of our voting power and equity. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control us, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of us by our current shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
19
We may issue shares of our preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact investor’s rights as holders of our common stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. Our preferred Stock does not have any dividend, conversion, liquidation, or other rights or preferences, including redemption or sinking fund provisions. Our preferred Stock does not have any dividend, conversion, liquidation, or other rights or preferences, including redemption or sinking fund provisions. However, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. However, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, investor’s rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of investor’s ownership interests in us. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in investor’s interest as holders of common stock.
The market price for our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are common. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common stock will be sustained. The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:
There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that may be developing alternatives that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have.
