Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Please carefully
consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item I A. of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition
or future results. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in such filings,
or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we
currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In that case,
the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our business
may be subject to risks arising from pandemic, epidemic, or an outbreak of diseases, such as the recent outbreak of the COVID-19
illness.
The recent outbreak
of the novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “public
health emergency of international concern,” has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. A
public health pandemic, including COVID-19, poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners
may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be
requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19
could have on our business, the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by the governments of countries affected could
disrupt the supply chain and adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. The COVID-19 outbreak
and mitigation measures may also have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our
business and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our results will depend on future developments
that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus
and the actions to contain its impact.
