Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON STOCK, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market for Common Stock
Our common stock has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the stock symbol “IRMD” since July 16, 2014. Prior to that date, there was no public market for our common stock.
The stock market in general has experienced significant stock price fluctuations in the past few years. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Therefore, many companies have experienced dramatic volatility in the market prices of their common stock. We believe that a number of factors, both within and outside our control, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. Factors such as the following (and others) could have a significant adverse impact on the market price of our common stock:
● Our financial position and results of operations;
● Our ability, if needed, to obtain additional financing and, if available, the terms and conditions of the financing;
● Concern as to, or other evidence of, the reliability and efficiency of our proposed products or our competitors’ products;
● Announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
● Federal, state, and international governmental regulatory actions and the impact of such requirements on our business;
● The development of litigation against us;
● Period-to-period fluctuations in our operating results;
● Changes in estimates of our performance by any securities analysts;
● The issuance of new equity securities pursuant to a future offering or acquisition;
● Poorly executed acquisitions or acquisitions whose projected potential is not realized;
● Changes in interest rates;
● Competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
● Sales of large blocks of our stock;
● Investor perceptions of our company; and
● General economic and other national and international conditions.
Stockholders
As of February 28, 2023, we had 3 stockholders of record. This number is significantly less than and does not include “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares are held by banks, brokers, financial institutions and other nominees.

The decision on whether to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be made by our board of directors, at its discretion, and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors that the board of directors considers significant.
