Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Form 10-K, as amended by our 2024 Form 10-K Amendment.
Delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could prevent us from maintaining an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our common stock and may materially and adversely impact our ability to consummate certain strategic transactions.
On April 29, 2025, we received a notice from the Staff of Nasdaq stating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 was below the minimum $2,500,000 required for continued listing under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Equity Requirement”). The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days, or until June 13, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Equity Requirement. The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice for the Company to regain compliance, or until October 26, 2025. If the Staff does not accept our plan, we will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Hearings Panel. We cannot assure you that Nasdaq will accept our plan to regain compliance. If it does not, and if our common stock were to be delisted from Nasdaq, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and on the trading of our common stock.
The tariffs that have been imposed on products from various countries may have an adverse effect on our business.
A potential negative effect on our business is the “Tariff War”, especially with China, Canada and Mexico. The increased tariffs the U.S. has imposed on products from these countries could have an adverse effect on our supply chain, potentially causing financial difficulty for our direct or indirect customers and reduced demand for our products. A continuation of these tariffs could have adverse changes in international trade policies and relations. Tariffs could increase the cost of our products and the components that go into making them. These increased costs could adversely impact the gross margin that we earn on our products. Tariffs could also make our products more expensive for customers, which could make our products less competitive and reduce consumer demand. Changing our operations in accordance with new or changed trade restrictions can be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations.
We cannot predict how the events described above will evolve. If the events continue for a significant period of time or expand to other countries, and depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A in our 2024 Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology infrastructure; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
