Item 1A.
Risk Factors
In addition to the information
set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in
Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Except as set forth below, there have been no
material changes to our risk factors from those included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Our recently announced
growth strategy includes seeking acquisitions of other companies or assets in our industry sector. We may not be successful in identifying,
making and integrating business or asset acquisitions, if any, in the future.
As announced in April
2023, we anticipate that a component of our growth strategy may be to make strategically focused acquisitions of businesses or assets.
Pursuit of this strategy may be restricted by the on-going volatility and uncertainty within the capital markets which may significantly
limit the availability of funds for such acquisitions. Our ability to use shares of our common stock in an acquisition transaction may
be adversely affected by the volatility in the price of our common stock and by the potential requirement of shareholder approval
under applicable Nasdaq listing rules.
In addition to restricted
funding availability, the success of our recently announced strategy will depend on our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates
and to negotiate acceptable financial and other terms. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so. The success of an acquisition
also depends on our ability to perform adequate due diligence before the acquisition and on our ability to integrate the acquisition after
it is completed. While we intend to commit significant resources to ensure that we conduct comprehensive due diligence, there can
be no assurance that all potential risks and liabilities will be identified in connection with an acquisition. Similarly, while we expect
to commit substantial resources, including management time and effort, to integrating acquired businesses into ours, there is no assurance
that we will be successful in integrating these businesses. If we fail in performing adequate due diligence or in successfully integrating
acquired businesses, our future operations would be negatively impacted.
