Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item
1A. Risk Factors
As
a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this item in this Form 10-Q. However, as of the date
of this Quarterly Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously
disclosed under “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). The following should be carefully
considered, together with other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Form 10-K, and our other filings with the SEC
before making investment decisions regarding our Common Stock.
The
results of our research and development efforts are uncertain and there can be no assurance they will enhance the commercial success
of our products.
We
believe that we will need to incur additional research and development expenditures to improve the capabilities of our BF-RhodoLED ®
lamps to better fulfill the needs of dermatologists and may also incur research and development expenditures to develop new products.
The products we are developing and may develop in the future may not be technologically successful. At this time, we have limited internal
research and development personnel, which makes us dependent on consulting relationships.
In
addition, the length of our product development cycle may be greater than we originally expected, and we may experience delays in product
development. If our resulting products are not technologically successful, they may not achieve market acceptance or compete effectively
with our competitors’ products and services.
There
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
In
connection with our assessment of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, the Company’s management
has determined that our growth plans, upcoming inventory purchases and a final settlement payment to DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. substantial
doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date the unaudited condensed financial
statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” were issued. The future viability of the Company is dependent on its
ability to continue to execute its growth plan and raise additional capital or find alternative methods of financing to fund its operations.
There can be no guarantee that the actions presently being taken by the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or finding
alternative methods of financing. If the Company is not successful in these endeavors, it would likely have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
For
additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties that affect our business, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our
Form 10-K.
