ENDV Endonovo Therapeutics Inc (PK)

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this prospectus carefully before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.

RISK FACTORS

An investment our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The risk factors described below summarize some of the material risks inherent in an investment in us. These risk factors are not presented in any particular order of significance. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors inherent in and affecting our business and the Offering before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this Prospectus and to the risk factors in our SEC filings.

Risks Relating to our Financial Condition

We are a company with a limited operating history and have not generated significant revenues to date. We may never generate significant revenues. Our predecessor company, Hanover Asset Management, Inc. was incorporated in November 2008 in California. For the purpose of reincorporating in Delaware, we merged with a newly incorporated successor company, now called Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc., in July 2011. We have incurred losses since our inception. As of December 31, 2019, we had a total accumulated deficit of $(52,934,786 ) and as of March 31, 2020 we had a total accumulated deficit of $(48,596,368). While we have begun to realize revenues from the sale of SofPulse® devices, it is impossible for us meaningfully project the revenue levels that might be achieved or whether and when we might become profitable. In order to increase the market of our devices and to capitalize on the potential of our intellectual property, we must conduct clinical trials, obtain FDA approvals and seek recognition of our therapies within the healthcare industry including third party payors. We must also attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could lead to an inability to meet our financial obligations and therefore result in bankruptcy and the loss of your entire investment in our common shares.

Our internal controls are not effective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We currently have a limited executive management group managing the financial controls of the Company.

We have a Chief Executive Officer, Alan Collier, who is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with our internal control procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon the reporting may make an uninformed investment decision.

Risks Relating to our Business and our Industry

We may encounter numerous difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of operations.

We have a limited operating history upon which an investor can evaluate our current business and future prospects. Any potential investor must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. Historically, there has been a high failure rate among early-stage companies. Our future performance will depend upon a number of factors, including our ability to:

We cannot assure investors that we will successfully address any of these factors, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

The loss of the services of our key management and personnel or the failure to attract additional key personnel could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

A loss of one or more of our current officers or key employees could severely and negatively impact our operations. We have no present intention of obtaining key-man life insurance on any of our executive officers or management. Additionally, competition for highly skilled technical, managerial and other personnel is intense. As our business develops, we might not be able to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate the highly skilled managers and employees we need to be successful. If we fail to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel, our business will suffer and might fail.  

Our limited operating history could delay our growth and result in the loss of your investment.

We were incorporated in 2011. However, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their growth stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, dependence on the growth of use of technology and services, complete product development, clinical trials and obtain industry acceptance while responding to competitive developments and attracting, retaining, and motivating qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could lead to an inability to meet our financial obligations and therefore result in bankruptcy and the loss of your entire investment in our common shares. In November 2017 we acquired substantial intellectual property related to our electroceutial business from Rio Grande Neurosciences, Inc.. However, we will be required to allocate our limited resources effectively to complete required FDA trials and obtain market acceptance for our products.

Our ability to implement and manage growth strategy is uncertain.

We plan on expanding the market segments in which we acquire approval of medical indications. Implementation of our growth strategy may impose significant strain on our management, operating systems and financial resources. Failure by the Company to manage its growth, or unexpected difficulties encountered during expansion into different markets, could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Our ability to continue to operate our business depends upon a number of factors, including (i) generating sufficient funds for operations, (ii) our executive management team and our financial and accounting controls, and (iii) staffing, training and retaining skilled on-site management personnel. Certain of these factors are beyond our control and may be affected by the economy or actions taken by competing companies. Further, there can be no assurance that our market analysis and proprietary business data will continue to support our current marketing plans.

We may not be able to retain our key personnel or attract additional personnel, which could affect our ability to complete necessary clinical trials and obtain approvals so that we can generate revenue sufficient to continue as a going concern diminishing your return on investment.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the services and on the performance of our Management. Endonovo Therapeutics is, and will be, heavily dependent on the skill, acumen and services of our key executives. Our performance also depends on our ability to attract, hire, retain and motivate our officers and key employees. The loss of the services of our executives could result in lost revenue depending on the length of time and effort required to find qualified replacements. We have not entered into long-term employment agreements with all of our key personnel and currently have no “Key Employee” life insurance policies.

Our future success may also depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel.

Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. If we are unable to attract, retain, and train the necessary technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel, our expectations of increasing our clientele could be hindered, and the profitability of Endonovo Therapeutics reduced.   

As the Company intends to be conducting international business transactions, it will be exposed to local business risks in different countries, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

The Company intends to promote and sell its products internationally by virtue of the global access to its products line and it expects to have customers located in several countries. The Company’s international operations will be subject to risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries, including, but not necessarily limited to:

The Company may not be successful in developing and implementing policies and strategies to address the foregoing factors in a timely and effective manner in the locations where it will do business. Consequently, the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on its base operations and upon its financial condition and results of operations.

Since our products may be available over the Internet in foreign countries and the Company may have customers residing in foreign countries, foreign jurisdictions may require it to qualify to do business in their country. It will be required to comply with certain laws and regulations of each country in which it conducts business, including laws and regulations currently in place or which may be enacted related to Internet services available to the residents of each country from online sites located elsewhere.

The Company’s operations in developing markets could expose it to political, economic and regulatory risks that are greater than those it may face in established markets. Further, its international operations may require it to comply with additional United States and international regulations.

For example, it may be required to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or “FCPA,” which prohibits companies or their agents and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official or agent thereof for the purposes of influencing any act or decision of these individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or corporate entity or obtain any unfair advantage. The Company may operate in some nations that have experienced significant levels of governmental corruption. Its employees, agents and contractors, including companies to which it outsources business operations, may take actions in violation of its policies and legal requirements. Such violations, even if prohibited by its policies and procedures, could have an adverse effect on its business and reputation. Any failure by the Company to ensure that its employees and agents comply with the FCPA and applicable laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial civil and criminal penalties or restrictions on its ability to conduct business in certain foreign jurisdictions, and its results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be subject to litigation that will be costly to defend or pursue and uncertain in its outcome.

Our business relies in large part on granted patents which we own. However, the grant of a patent does not ensure that litigation will not arise where the validity of the patent is challenged or that the patent will not be found by a court to infringe upon patents held by others. Furthermore, any litigation relating to our patent rights is likely to be expensive and may require a significant amount of management’s time and attention, at the expense of other aspects of our business. The outcome of litigation is always uncertain, and in some cases could include judgments against us that require us to pay damages, enjoin us from certain activities, or otherwise affect our legal or contractual rights, which could have a significant adverse effect on our business and financial condition.  

We may not be able to obtain third-party reimbursement or favorable product pricing, which would reduce our ability to operate profitably.

Our ability to successfully commercialize certain of our proposed products may depend to a significant degree on reimbursement of the costs of such products and related services at acceptable levels from government authorities and other organizations. We cannot assure you that reimbursement in the United States or foreign countries will be available for any products we may develop or, if available, will not be decreased in the future, or that reimbursement amounts will not reduce the demand for, or the price of, our products with a consequent harm to our business. We cannot predict what additional regulation or legislation may be enacted in the future or what effect such regulation or legislation may have on our business. If additional regulations are overly onerous or expensive makes our business more expensive or burdensome than originally anticipated, we may be forced to significantly downsize our business plans or completely abandon our business model.

We have not adopted various corporate governance measures, and as a result stockholders may have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets. Because our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to adopt these corporate governance measures and have not done so voluntarily in order to avoid incurring the additional costs associated with such measures. Furthermore, the absence of the governance measures referred to above with respect to our Company may leave our stockholders with more limited protection in connection with interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Certain provisions of Delaware law applicable to Endonovo could also delay a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest or make one more difficult.

As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless certain specific requirements are met as set forth in Section 203. These provisions, alone or together, could have the effect of deterring or delaying changes in incumbent management, proxy contests or changes in control.

Risks Relating to Our Reliance on Third Parties

Because our Business Involves Medical Technology, Our Business Tends to be Capital Intensive.

We are likely to require additional capital to maintain operations or expand our business. We have not made any arrangements to obtain any additional financing. Any additional financing may only be available on terms unfavorable to us and disadvantageous to our shareholders.

The Protection from our Future Patents is Uncertain.

We will rely on patents and trade secrets for the protection of our intellectual property. The issuance of a patent by the Patent Office does not ensure that the patent will be upheld if it is challenged in litigation or that the patent will not be found to infringe upon patents validly issued to others. We could be exposed to substantial litigation expense defending their intellectual property as well as liability to others.   

Our Products may Become Technologically Obsolete.

The medical products market is characterized by extensive research and development activities. New developments are expected to continue at a rapid pace and there can be no assurance that new discoveries will not render our products, processes and devices uneconomical or obsolete. The likelihood of success for our products must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of new medical processes, devices and products and their level of acceptance by the medical community.

We may Encounter Liabilities Involving Customers and Third Parties.

The sale of medical devices can result in claims for injury if a product causes harm or fails to perform as promised. Although we have not been subject to any such claim, no assurance can be given that such claims will not be made in the future or that we can obtain any insurance coverage. If we were subject to an uncovered claim, our assets could be greatly reduced.

Government Regulations May Result in Costs and Delays.

The development, testing, production and marketing of our future products are subject to regulation by the FDA as devices under 1976 Medical Device Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, our products may be subject to regulation by similar agencies in other states and foreign countries. While we believe that we have complied with all applicable laws and regulations, continued compliance with such laws or regulations, including any new laws or regulations, might impose additional costs on us which could adversely affect its financial performance and results of operations.

We depend on our collaborators to help us develop and test our devices, and our ability to develop and commercialize our devices may be impaired or delayed if collaborations are unsuccessful.

Our strategy for the development, testing and commercialization of our devices may require that we enter into collaborations with consultants, corporate partners, licensors, licensees and others. We are dependent upon the subsequent success of these other parties in performing their respective responsibilities and the continued cooperation of our partners. Our collaborators may not cooperate with us or perform their obligations under our agreements with them. We cannot control the amount and timing of our collaborators’ resources that will be devoted to our research and development activities related to our collaborative agreements with them. Our collaborators may choose to pursue existing or alternative technologies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with us.

Under agreements with collaborators, we may rely significantly on such collaborators to, among other things, design prototypes for and value our intellectual property, and market for us any commercial products that result from our collaborations.

The development and commercialization of our proprietary square wave form device will be delayed if collaborators fail to conduct these activities in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, our collaborators could terminate their agreements with us and we may not receive any development or milestone payments. If we do not achieve milestones set forth in the agreements, or if our collaborators breach or terminate their collaborative agreements with us, our business may be materially harmed.

For initial or additional pre-clinical and clinical trials (“Clinical Trials”) required for our proprietary square wave form device by the FDA or with respect to Clinical Trials relating to the development of our core technology for other applications, we depend on clinical investigators and clinical sites and other third parties to manage the trials and to perform related data collection and analysis, and, as a result, we may face costs and delays that are outside of our control.

With respect to any additional clinical studies for our products which are required by the FDA or with respect to Clinical Trials relating to the development of our core technology for other applications, we rely on clinical investigators and clinical sites, some of which are private practices, and some of which are research university- or government-affiliated, to enroll patients in our Clinical Trials. We may rely on: pathologists and pathology laboratories; a contract research organization to assist in monitoring, collection of data, and ensuring FDA Good Clinical Practices (“GCP”) are observed at our sites; a consultant biostatistician; and other third parties to manage the trial and to perform related data collection and analysis.

However, we may not be able to control the amount and timing of resources that clinical sites and other third parties may devote to our Clinical Trials. If these clinical investigators and clinical sites fail to enroll a sufficient number of patients in our Clinical Trials, or if the clinical sites fail to comply adequately with the clinical protocols, we will be unable to complete these trials, which could prevent us from obtaining regulatory approvals for our products or other products developed from our core technology. Our agreements with clinical investigators and clinical sites for clinical testing place substantial responsibilities on these parties and, if these parties fail to perform as expected, our trials could be delayed or terminated.

If these clinical investigators, clinical sites or other third parties do not carry out their contractual duties or obligations or fail to meet expected deadlines, or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain are compromised due to their failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or for other reasons, our Clinical Trials may be extended, delayed or terminated, and we may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for, or successfully commercialize, our products or other products developed from our core technology.

In addition to the foregoing, any initial or additional clinical studies for any of our products which are required by the FDA and any Clinical Trials relating to the development of our core technology for other applications may be delayed or halted for numerous other reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

If our products are approved for reimbursement, we anticipate experiencing significant pressures on pricing.

We may not develop a substantial amount of commercialized products.

We are a development stage company and currently have one commercialized product, the SofPulse. We believe that the patents that we have acquired will allow us to develop additional devices and prove usefulness for other applications. However, while we believe we will achieve the desired clinical results, commercialization of each of our products remains subject to certain significant risks. Our efforts may not lead to commercially successful products for a number of reasons, including:

If we are unable to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our products, we will be unable to generate revenue outside of our present approved device, the SofPulse®.

Non-FDA Government Regulation May Affect our Results.

The advertising of our devices will be subject to both FDA and Federal Trade Commission regulations. In addition, the sale and marketing of our devices will be subject to a complex system of federal and state laws and regulations intended to deter, detect, and respond to fraud and abuse in the healthcare system. These laws and regulations restrict and may prohibit pricing, discounting, commissions and other commercial practices that may be typical outside of the healthcare business. In particular, anti-kickback and self-referral laws and regulations will limit our flexibility in crafting promotional programs and other financial arrangements in connection with the sale of our products and related services, especially with respect to physicians seeking reimbursement through Medicare or Medicaid. These federal laws include, by way of example, the following:

Sanctions for violating these federal laws include criminal and civil penalties that range from punitive sanctions, damage assessments, money penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments, or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, or both. These laws also impose an affirmative duty on those receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding to ensure that they do not employ or contract with persons excluded from the Medicare and other government programs.

Many states have adopted or are considering legislative proposals similar to the federal fraud and abuse laws, some of which extend beyond the Medicare and Medicaid programs to prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration for the referral of patients and physician self-referrals regardless of whether the service was reimbursed by Medicare or Medicaid. Many states have also adopted or are considering legislative proposals to increase patient protections, such as limiting the use and disclosure of patient-specific health information. These state laws typically impose criminal and civil penalties similar to the federal laws.  

In the ordinary course of their business, medical device manufacturers and suppliers have been and are subject regularly to inquiries, investigations and audits by federal and state agencies that oversee these laws and regulations. Recent federal and state legislation has greatly increased funding for investigations and enforcement actions, which have increased dramatically over the past several years. This trend is expected to continue. Private enforcement of healthcare fraud also has increased, due in large part to amendments to the Civil False Claims Act in 1986 that were designed to encourage private persons to sue on behalf of the government. These whistleblower suits by private persons, known as qui tam relaters, may be filed by almost anyone, including physicians and their employees and patients, our employees, and even competitors. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), in addition to its privacy provisions, created a series of new healthcare-related crimes.

Our Clinical Trials could be delayed by factors over which we have little control.

The start or conduct of a clinical trial can be delayed by a number of factors that may include, but are not limited to, government sequestration that could limit the availability of federal grants or delay in the approval and compliance process of where our clinical trial will be conducted. As a result, the purchase of equipment necessary to prepare and optimize the prototype for the clinical trial could be delayed.

The FDA may require additional Clinical Trials and any adverse results in such Clinical Trials, or difficulties in conducting such Clinical Trials, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

While we are undertaking the Clinical Trials we believe to be compliant with FDA regulations, for new devices. The occurrence of unexpected findings in connection with any initial or subsequent clinical trial required by the FDA may prevent or delay obtaining approval. In addition subsequent clinical studies would require the expenditure of additional company resources and could be a long and expensive process subject to unexpected delays. Any adverse results in such Clinical Trials, or difficulties in conducting such Clinical Trials, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If any additional products are approved by the FDA, they may be approved only for narrow indications.

Even if approved, our devices may not be approved for the indications that are necessary or desirable for successful commercialization.

If we wish to modify any of our devices after receiving FDA approval, including changes in indications or other modifications that could affect safety and effectiveness, additional approvals could be required from the FDA, we may be required to submit extensive pre-clinical and clinical data, depending on the nature of the changes. Any request by the FDA for additional data, or any requirement by the FDA that we conduct additional clinical studies, could delay the commercialization of our devices and require us to make substantial additional research, development and other expenditures. We may not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market our devices in the U.S. or anywhere else. Any delay in, or failure to receive or maintain, approval for our proprietary square wave form device and/or cell-free therapies could prevent us from generating revenue or achieving profitability, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

Management of our Company is within the control of our sole director who is also our CEO. You should not purchase our common stock unless you are willing to entrust management of our Company to these individuals.

All decisions with respect to the management of the Company will be made by our board of directors and our officers, who will beneficially own 16.7 % of our common stock and 25,000 shares super voting of Preferred AA, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Holders of the common stock who purchase in this offering will not obtain majority control of the Company. Therefore, management will retain the power to elect all of the board of directors who shall, in turn, have the power to appoint the officers of the Company and to determine, in accordance with their fiduciary duties and the business judgment rule, the direction, objectives and policies of the Company including, without limitation, the purchase of businesses or assets; the sale of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company; the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation; raising additional capital through financing and/or equity sources; the retention of cash reserves for future product development, expansion of our business and/or acquisitions; the filing of registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission for offerings of our capital stock; and transactions which may cause or prevent a change in control of the Company or its winding up and dissolution. Accordingly, no investor should purchase the common stock we are offering unless such investor is willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Company to such individuals.  

Our reliance on the activities of our non-employee consultants whose activities are not wholly within our control, may lead to delays in development of proposed products or in the development of our business.

We rely extensively upon and have relationships with consultants. These consultants are not our employees and may have commitments to, or consulting or advisory contracts with, other entities that may limit their availability to us. We have limited control over the activities of these consultants and, except as otherwise required by our collaboration and consulting agreements to the extent they exist, can expect only limited amounts of their time to be dedicated to our activities.

Risks Related to Common Stock

The large number of shares eligible for immediate and future sales may depress the price of our stock.

As of the date of this prospectus we have 11,913,929 shares of common stock outstanding. 8,118,619 shares are “free trading” and may serve to overhang the market and depress the price of our common stock.

“Penny Stock” rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult. Limitations upon Broker-Dealers Effecting Transactions in “Penny Stocks”

Trading in our common stock is subject to material limitations as a consequence of regulations which limit the activities of broker-dealers effecting transactions in “penny stocks.” Pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, our common stock is a “penny stock” because it (i) is not listed on any national securities exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market™, (ii) has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, and (iii) its issuer (the Company) has net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for at least three (3) years) or $5,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for less than three (3) years).

Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act imposes limitations upon trading activities on “penny stocks”, which makes selling our common stock more difficult compared to selling securities which are not “penny stocks.” Rule 15a-9 restricts the solicitation of sales of “penny stocks” by broker-dealers unless the broker first (i) obtains from the purchaser information concerning his financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives, (ii) reasonably determines that the purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person is capable of evaluating the risks of investing in “penny stocks”, and (iii) delivers and receives back from the purchaser a manually signed written statement acknowledging the purchaser’s investment experience and financial sophistication.

Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act require broker-dealers who engage in transactions in “penny stocks” first to provide their customers with a series of disclosures and documents, including (i) a standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investing in “penny stocks”, (ii) all compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction, (iii) current quotation prices and other relevant market data, and (iv) monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities.  

There can be no assurance that any broker-dealer which initiates quotations for the Common Stock will continue to do so, and the loss of any such broker-dealer likely would have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described below, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “penny stock,” it will be cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market for our common stock less liquid and negatively affect the price of our stock.

We will be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rules as defined in Rule 3a51-1. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Since our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading is subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers. These require a broker-dealer to:

Consequently, penny stock rules and FINRA rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock. Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.

We Have Paid No Dividends

We never have paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012 and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.  

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30.

Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012 may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Future issuances of common shares may be adversely affected by the EPA.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of issuances and sales by us, including pursuant to the EPA, or sales by our existing shareholders, of common stock, or the perception that these issuances and sales could occur. Sales by our shareholders might also make it more difficult for us to issue and sell common stock at a time and price that we deem appropriate. It is likely that the sale of shares by Calvary will depress the market price of our common stock.

We have the right to issue shares of preferred stock. If we were to issue preferred stock, it is likely to have rights, preferences and privileges that may adversely affect the common stock. Our CEO has, by virtue of his preferred stock ownership, voting control over all matters.

We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with such rights, preferences and privileges as may be determined from time-to-time by our board of directors. We currently have 2,500 shares of Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock outstanding which will have majority voting power for the foreseeable future, all of which is held by our CEO and sole director. Our board of directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix for any series the dividend rights, dissolution or liquidation preferences, redemption prices, conversion rights, voting rights, and other rights, preferences and privileges for the preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock, depending on the rights, preferences and privileges attributable to the preferred stock, could adversely reduce the voting rights and powers of the common stock and the portion of the Company’s assets allocated for distribution to common stock holders in a liquidation event, and could also result in dilution in the book value per share of the common stock we are offering. The preferred stock could also be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method for raising additional capital or discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, to the detriment of the investors in the common stock offered hereby. We cannot assure you that the Company will not, under certain circumstances, issue shares of its preferred stock.

Risks Related to this Offering

We are registering the resale of a maximum of 3,685,516 shares of common stock, all of which may be issued to Calvary under the Equity Line. The resale of such shares by Calvary could depress the market price of our common stock.

We are registering the resale of a maximum of 3,685,516 shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The sale of these shares into the public market by Calvary could depress the market price of our common stock. As of June 19, 2020, there were 11,913,929 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In total, we may issue up to $10,000,000 worth of shares to Calvary pursuant to the Equity Line, meaning that, we will be obligated to file one or more registration statements covering the additional shares beyond the 3,685,516 shares covered by the registration statement. The sale of those additional shares into the public market by Calvary could further depress the market price of our common stock.

Existing Stockholders Could Experience Substantial Dilution Upon the Issuance of Common Stock Pursuant to the Equity Line

Our Equity Line with Calvary contemplates our issuance of up to 3,685,516 shares of our common stock to Calvary, subject to certain restrictions and obligations. If the terms and conditions of the Equity Line are satisfied, and we choose to exercise our put rights to the fullest extent permitted and sell all 3,685,516 shares of our common stock to Calvary, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted by such sales. Unless our stock price increases and we trade at much higher prices, we may not be able or may not choose to access the entirety of the $10,000,000 possibly available under the Equity Line without the filing of subsequent registration statements for additional shares. However, we view the availability of such an extensive resource to be valuable to us at this stage of our growth.  

Calvary Will Pay Less Than the Then-Prevailing Market Price for Our Common Stock Under the Equity Line

The common stock to be issued to Calvary pursuant to the ELPA will be purchased according to formulas set forth therein and generally at a 15% discount to the price of our common stock pursuant to the formulas in the ELPA. Therefore, Calvary has a financial incentive to sell our common stock upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Calvary sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.

We May Not Be Able to Access Sufficient Funds Under the ELPA When Needed

Our ability to put shares to Calvary and obtain funds under the ELPA is limited by the terms and conditions in the ELPA, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to Calvary at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading volume of our common stock, and a limitation on our ability to put shares to Calvary to the extent that it would cause Calvary to beneficial own more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares. In addition, we do not expect the Equity Line to satisfy all of our funding needs, even if we are able and choose to take full advantage of the Equity Line.
