−Removed: While we were profitable for the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020, we realized a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $6.2 million and $6.3 million,
+Added: We were profitable for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively.
−Removed: Our accumulated retained earnings were $20.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and we had accumulated deficits of
−Removed: $25.0 million and $18.7 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
−Removed: We realized net income for the first
−Removed: time for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
−Removed: We were able to achieve net income because we were able to develop and market our
−Removed: LogixSmart COVID-19 test, but we do not have any way to predict how long our market for that test will continue.
−Removed: Potential investors
−Removed: should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new enterprise, many of which are beyond our control, including
−Removed: substantial risks and expenses in the course of developing new diagnostic tests, establishing or entering new markets, organizing
−Removed: operations and marketing procedures.
−Removed: The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of these risks, expenses, complications
−Removed: and delays, and the competitive environment in which we operate.
−Removed: There is, therefore, nothing at this time upon which to base
−Removed: an assumption that our business plan will continue to prove successful, and we may not be able to generate significant revenue,

−Removed: We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by

−Removed: In addition, as a result of the start-up nature of our business, we can
−Removed: be expected to continue to sustain substantial operating expenses and may not be able to continue generating sufficient revenues
−Removed: to cover expenditures.
−Removed: Any investment in our company is therefore highly speculative and could result in the loss of any investment.
−Removed: near-term success has been dependent on the market for our COVID-19 test and future success is dependent on continued demand for
−Removed: the COVID-19 test and upon our ability to develop and market other commercially accepted diagnostic tests.
−Removed: future success will depend, in part, on the continued market for our LogixSmart COVID-19 test and upon our ability to develop
−Removed: and sell sufficient quantities of other diagnostics tests.
−Removed: Attracting new customers and distribution networks requires substantial
−Removed: time and expense.
−Removed: Any failure to continue sales of our tests in sufficient quantities to maintain profitability would adversely
−Removed: affect our operating results.
−Removed: Many factors could affect the market acceptance and commercial success of any of our diagnostic
−Removed: tests, including:
−Removed: ability to develop additional infectious disease diagnostic tests for which there is a commercial market.
−Removed: ability to convince our potential customers of the advantages and economic value of our tests over competing technologies
−Removed: and diagnostic tests;
−Removed: breadth of our test menu relative to competitors;
−Removed: to policies, procedures or currently accepted best practices in clinical diagnostic testing;
−Removed: extent and success of our marketing and sales efforts;
−Removed: ability to manufacture in quantity our commercial diagnostic tests and meet demand in a timely fashion.
