+Added: As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.
+Added: We are a development stage company with little operating history, a
+Added: history of losses and we cannot assure profitability and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our
+Added: ability to continue as a going concern in its report on our audited financial statements.
+Added: We may be unable to continue to operate without
+Added: the threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future.
+Added: Raising additional capital by issuing securities or through debt financings or licensing arrangements
+Added: may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product
+Added: candidate on terms unfavorable to us.
+Added: There are substantial inherent risks in attempting to commercialize newly developed products, and, as
+Added: a result, we may not be able to successfully develop new products.
+Added: We will need to achieve commercial acceptance of our products, if cleared or approved, to generate revenues
+Added: and achieve profitability.
+Added: We currently only have four product candidates, which are still in development, and we have not obtained
+Added: authorization from any regulatory agency to commercially distribute the products in any country and we may never obtain such authorizations.
+Added: We will depend on third parties for the manufacture and distribution of our product candidates and products,
+Added: if cleared or approved, and the loss of our third-party manufacturer and distributor could harm our business.
+Added: We may be forced to litigate to enforce or defend our intellectual

+Added: candidate may expose us to expensive product liability claims, and we may not be able to maintain product liability insurance on reasonable
+Added: terms or at all and may be required to limit commercialization of our product candidates.
+Added: We participate in transactions and make tax calculations for which the ultimate tax determination may
+Added: be uncertain.
+Added: If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately
+Added: report our financial results or prevent financial fraud.
+Added: As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our
+Added: financial reporting.
+Added: If our expenses are greater than anticipated, then we will have fewer funds with which to pursue our plan
+Added: of operations and our financing requirements will be greater than anticipated.
+Added: We are heavily dependent upon the ability and expertise of our management team and a very limited number
+Added: of employees and the loss of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
+Added: Investors could lose confidence in our financial reports, and the value of our common stock may be adversely

+Added: stock on the public markets.
+Added: Any trading in our shares may have a significant effect on our stock prices.
+Added: The sale of shares of our common stock could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
+Added: A limited number of stockholders collectively own a significant portion of our common shares and may act, or prevent corporate
+Added: actions, to the detriment of other stockholders.
+Added: The reverse split of our common stock could decrease our total market capitalization and increase, and may continue to increase,
+Added: the volatility of our stock price.
+Added: The reverse stock split could increase our authorized but unissued shares of common stock, which could negatively
+Added: impact a potential investor.
+Added: Trading of our common stock could be sporadic, and the price of our common stock may be volatile;

−Removed: The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is
−Removed: dependent upon its ability in the future to grow its revenue and achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain
−Removed: the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due.
−Removed: External financing, predominantly

−Removed: however, there can be no certainty
−Removed: that such funds will be available at terms acceptable to the Company.
−Removed: These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties
−Removed: that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: We have not generated
−Removed: any revenue or profit from operations since our inception.
−Removed: We expect that our operating expenses will increase over the next twelve

−Removed: Based on our average monthly expenses and current burn rate, we estimate
−Removed: that our cash on hand will not be able to support our operations through the balance of this calendar year.
−Removed: This amount could increase
−Removed: if we encounter difficulties that we cannot anticipate at this time or if we acquire other businesses.
−Removed: Should this amount not be
−Removed: sufficient to support our continuing operations, we do not expect to be able to raise any additional capital through debt financing
−Removed: from traditional lending sources since we are not currently generating a profit from operations.
−Removed: Therefore, we only expect to raise
−Removed: money through equity financing via the sale of our common stock or equity-linked securities such as convertible debt.
−Removed: We are currently
−Removed: in discussions with a number of institutional investors who could provide the capital required for our ongoing operations.
−Removed: cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to operate our business beyond the period indicated above, we will be

−Removed: If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial

−Removed: The process for estimating the
−Removed: Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow requires the use of estimates and assumptions.
−Removed: These estimates and assumptions
−Removed: may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.
−Removed: In addition, the assumptions
−Removed: used in planning may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Company’s financial condition or results

−Removed: The Company expects
−Removed: to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to its investment in infrastructure and growth and for regulatory compliance,
−Removed: which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

−Removed: Our efforts to grow our
−Removed: business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses.
−Removed: We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications
−Removed: and delays, and other unknown events.
−Removed: If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our Common Shares
−Removed: may significantly decrease.
−Removed: Our success depends
−Removed: on the viability of our business model, which is unproven and may be unfeasible.
−Removed: Our revenue and income
−Removed: potential are unproven, and the business model of Odyssey is new.
−Removed: Our new business model is based on a variety of assumptions based
−Removed: on a growing trend in the health care systems in the United States and many other countries, where we are seeing a movement towards
−Removed: preventative medicine that is directly decreasing general health care costs.
−Removed: The CardioMap®, through its screening and predictive
−Removed: values, is a tool that might be implemented in this preventative approach.
−Removed: Considering heart disease-caused deaths are still the
−Removed: number one cause of death and one of the most important health care costs factors, the CardioMap®
−Removed: device has potential value

−Removed: Once cleared, it could be an ideal device, allowing insurance companies to cut costs through early diagnostic
−Removed: and preventative care.
−Removed: These assumptions may not reflect the business and market conditions we actually face.
−Removed: As a result, our
−Removed: operating results could differ materially from those projected under our business model, and our business model may prove to be
−Removed: unprofitable.
−Removed: The Save a Life choking
−Removed: rescue device is in the early development stage and is un-proven for commercial use.
−Removed: Further development is required, and the final
−Removed: product will require FDA clearance.
−Removed: The drug compound being
−Removed: developed by Prevacus under the joint venture with the Company is in its early stage.
−Removed: The drug will require extensive testing and
−Removed: clinical trials before it is commercialized.
−Removed: There is no guarantee that the drug will be approved for commercial use.

−Removed: Our ability to raise

+Added: For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020, our net loss was $4,348,855 and, as of July 31,
+Added: 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $28,850,728.
+Added: As of July 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $707,062, and current assets of
+Added: $99,619 and a working capital deficit of $657,443.
+Added: These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
+Added: which is dependent on our ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short- and long-term operating requirements.
+Added: We may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result
+Added: in a need for additional cash.
+Added: Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions.
+Added: To stay in business, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities or debt financing.
+Added: the past, we have financed our operations by issuing secured and unsecured convertible debt and equity securities in private placements,
+Added: in some cases with equity incentives for the investor in the form of warrants to purchase our common stock, and we have borrowed from
+Added: related parties.
+Added: We have sought, and will continue to seek, various sources of financing.
+Added: If we raise additional funds through the issuance
+Added: of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders could be reduced, and such securities might
+Added: have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to our common stock.
+Added: Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or
+Added: available at all.
+Added: If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective business
+Added: endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations.
+Added: If we are unable to obtain necessary capital,
+Added: we may have to cease operations.
+Added: There are no additional commitments from anyone to provide us with financing.
+Added: We can provide no assurance
+Added: as to whether our capital raising efforts will be successful or as to when, or if, we will be profitable in the future.
+Added: Even if we achieve
+Added: profitability, we may not be able to sustain such profitability.
+Added: If we are unable to obtain financing or achieve and sustain profitability,
+Added: we may have to suspend operations or sell assets, making us unable to execute our business plan.
+Added: Failure to become and remain profitable
+Added: may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital and continue operations.
+Added: For additional information,
+Added: see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations –
+Added: “Going Concern.”
+Added: Raising additional capital by issuing
+Added: securities or through debt financings or licensing arrangements may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations
+Added: or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidate on terms unfavorable to us.
+Added: To the extent that we raise
+Added: additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of
+Added: such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder.
+Added: Debt financing, if available,
+Added: may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional
+Added: debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
+Added: If we raise additional funds through strategic partnerships with third parties,
+Added: we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or product candidate, future revenue streams, research programs or product
+Added: candidate, or otherwise grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
+Added: If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed,
+Added: we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts for our product candidate
+Added: or our preclinical product candidates, or grant rights to develop and market potential future product candidates that we would otherwise
+Added: prefer to develop and market ourselves.
+Added: Any of these events could adversely affect our ability to achieve our product development and
+Added: commercialization goals and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Risks Related to Our Technology, Development
+Added: and Commercialization of our Product Candidates
+Added: Our success depends on the viability
+Added: of our business model, which is unproven and may be unfeasible.
+Added: Our revenue and income potential
+Added: are unproven, and the business model of Odyssey is new.
+Added: Our new business model is based on a variety of assumptions based on a growing
+Added: trend in the health care systems in the United States and many other countries, where we are seeing a movement towards preventative medicine
+Added: that is directly decreasing general healthcare costs.
+Added: The CardioMap®, through its screening and predictive values, is a tool, if approved
+Added: or cleared, might be implemented in this preventative approach.
+Added: Considering heart disease-caused deaths are still the number one cause
+Added: of death and one of the most important health care costs factors, the CardioMap®
+Added: device has potential value in any medical practice.
+Added: If approved or cleared for marketing, it could be an ideal device, allowing insurance companies to potentially cut costs through early
+Added: diagnostic and preventative care.
+Added: These assumptions may not reflect the business and market conditions we actually face.
+Added: our operating results could differ materially from those projected under our business model, and our business model may prove to be unprofitable.
+Added: There is no guarantee that the device will be approved or cleared for commercial use.
+Added: The Save a Life choking rescue
+Added: device is in the development stage and has not been approved or cleared for commercial use.
+Added: Further development is required, and the final
+Added: product will require FDA approval or clearance.
+Added: There is no guarantee that the device will be approved or cleared for commercial use.
+Added: The product candidate
+Added: PRV-001, for which we own 50% of the intellectual property, will be developed by Prevacus and is in its early stages and
+Added: will require extensive testing and clinical trials before it is commercialized.
+Added: There is no guarantee that PRV-001 will be approved
+Added: for commercial use.
+Added: The product candidate PRV-002
+Added: being developed by us and is in its early stages and will require extensive testing and clinical trials before it is commercialized.
+Added: is no guarantee that PRV-002 will be approved for commercial use.
+Added: If we fail to obtain marketing
+Added: authorization for our product candidates, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
+Added: There are substantial inherent risks
+Added: in attempting to commercialize newly developed products, and, as a result, we may not be able to successfully develop new products.
+Added: We plan to conduct research
+Added: and development of health-related technologies.
+Added: However, commercial feasibility and acceptance of such product candidates are unknown.
+Added: Scientific research and development require significant amounts of capital and takes an extremely long time to reach commercial viability,
+Added: During the research and development process, we may experience technological barriers that we may be unable to overcome.
+Added: of these uncertainties, it is possible that some of our future product candidates will never be successfully developed.
+Added: If we are unable
+Added: to successfully develop new products, we may be unable to generate new revenue sources or build a sustainable or profitable business.
+Added: We will need to achieve commercial
+Added: acceptance of our products, if cleared or approved, to generate revenues and achieve profitability.
+Added: Superior competitive products
+Added: may be introduced, or customer needs may change, which would diminish or extinguish the uses for our products, if cleared or approved.
+Added: We cannot predict when significant commercial market acceptance for our products, if cleared or approved, will develop, if at all, and
+Added: we cannot reliably estimate the projected size of any such potential market.
+Added: If markets fail to accept our products, then we may not be
+Added: able to generate revenues from them.
+Added: Our revenue growth and achievement of profitability will depend substantially on our ability to introduce
+Added: new products that are accepted by customers.
+Added: If we are unable to cost-effectively achieve acceptance of our products by customers, or
+Added: if our products do not achieve wide market acceptance, then our business will be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: We currently only have four product
+Added: candidates, which are still in development, and we have not obtained authorization from any regulatory agency to commercially distribute
+Added: the products in any country and we may never obtain such authorizations.
+Added: We currently have no products
+Added: authorized for commercial distribution in either the United States, Europe or any other country.
+Added: We are developing the devices and pharmaceutical
+Added: drugs which require regulatory clearance or approvals, we cannot begin marketing and selling our product candidates until we obtain applicable
+Added: authorizations from the respective regulatory agency.
+Added: The process of obtaining regulatory authorization is expensive and time-consuming
+Added: and can vary substantially based upon, among other things, the type, complexity and novelty of a product candidate.
+Added: Changes in regulatory
+Added: policy, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product
+Added: application may cause delays in the authorization of a product candidate or rejection of a regulatory application altogether.
+Added: The FDA has substantial discretion
+Added: in the review process and may refuse to accept our application or may decide that our data are insufficient to grant the request and require
+Added: additional pre-clinical, clinical, or other studies.
+Added: In addition, varying interpretations of the data obtained from pre-clinical and
+Added: clinical testing could delay, limit, or prevent marketing authorization from the FDA or other regulatory authorities.
+Added: Any marketing authorization
+Added: from the FDA we ultimately obtain may be limited or subject to restrictions or post-market commitments that render the product candidate
+Added: not commercially viable.
+Added: If our attempts to obtain marketing authorization are unsuccessful, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue
+Added: to sustain and grow our business, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
+Added: We face significant competition in
+Added: an environment of rapid technological change, and our competitors may develop products that are more advanced or more effective than ours
+Added: are which may adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to successfully market our products.
+Added: Our competitors in the industry
+Added: are predominantly large companies with longer operating histories, with significantly easier access to capital and other resources and
+Added: an established product pipeline than us.
+Added: There can be no assurance that we will be able to establish ourselves in our targeted markets,
+Added: or, if established, that we will be able to maintain our market position, if any.
+Added: Our commercial opportunity may be reduced if our competitors
+Added: develop new or improved products that are more convenient, more effective or less expensive than our product candidates are.
+Added: also may obtain FDA or other regulatory marketing authorization for their products more rapidly or earlier than we may obtain marketing
+Added: authorization for ours, which could result in our competitors establishing a strong market position before we are able to enter the market.
+Added: Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties
+Added: We expect to rely on third parties
+Added: for the worldwide marketing and distribution of our product candidates, who may not be successful in selling our products, if cleared
+Added: We currently do not have adequate
+Added: resources to market and distribute any of our products, if cleared or approved, worldwide and expect to engage third-party marketing and
+Added: distribution companies to perform these tasks.
+Added: While we believe that distribution partners will be available, we cannot assure you that
+Added: the distribution partners, if any, will succeed in marketing our products on a global basis.
+Added: We may not be able to maintain satisfactory
+Added: arrangements with our marketing and distribution partners, who may not devote adequate resources to selling our products.
+Added: If this happens,
+Added: we may not be able to successfully market our products, which would decrease or eliminate our ability to generate revenues.
+Added: Our products, if cleared or approved,
+Added: may be displaced by superior products developed by third parties.
+Added: The healthcare industry is
+Added: constantly undergoing rapid and significant change.
+Added: Third parties may succeed in developing or marketing products that are more effective
+Added: than those developed or marketed by us or that would make our products obsolete or non-competitive.
+Added: Additionally, researchers could develop
+Added: new procedures and medications that replace or reduce the use of our products.
+Added: Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability
+Added: to respond quickly to medical and technological changes through the development and introduction of new products.
+Added: We may not have the
+Added: resources to do this.
+Added: If our products become obsolete and our efforts to develop new products do not result in commercially successful
+Added: products, then our sales and revenues will decline.
+Added: We are, and will continue to be, dependent
+Added: in significant part on outside scientists and third-party research institutions for our research and development in order to be able to
+Added: commercialize our product candidates.
+Added: We currently have a limited
+Added: number of employees and resources available to perform the research and development necessary to commercialize our product candidates
+Added: and potential future product candidates.
+Added: We therefore rely, and will continue to rely, on third-party research institutions, collaborators
+Added: and consultants for this capability.
+Added: We will depend on third parties for
+Added: the manufacture and distribution of our product candidates and products, if cleared or approved, and the loss of our third-party manufacturer
+Added: and distributor could harm our business.
+Added: We will depend on our third-party
+Added: contract manufacturing partner to manufacture and supply our devices and drugs for clinical and commercial purposes.
+Added: Additionally, we
+Added: will depend on a different third-party distribution partner to warehouse and ship our products, if cleared or approved, to customers.
+Added: Our reliance on a third-party manufacturer and a distribution provider to supply us with our drug and devices and to provide such other
+Added: distribution services exposes us to risks that could delay our sales or result in higher costs or lost product revenues.
+Added: manufacturers could encounter difficulties, including, but not limited to, those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, in securing
+Added: long-lead time components, achieving volume production, quality control and quality assurance or suffer shortages of qualified personnel,
+Added: which could result in their inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of our commercially available product, if cleared or approved,
+Added: to meet market demand.
+Added: Our third-party manufacturer or distributor may also fail to follow and remain in compliance with FDA regulations
+Added: which could lead to significant delays in the availability of materials for our product candidates or products, if cleared or approved
+Added: and/or FDA enforcement actions against them and/or us.
+Added: If we are unable to obtain
+Added: adequate supplies of our product candidates and products that meet our specifications and quality standards, it will be difficult for
+Added: us to compete effectively.
+Added: We may not be able to build an effective
+Added: distribution network for our products, if cleared or approved.
+Added: We currently have very few
+Added: employees and we may either build internal capabilities or rely on distributors to sell our products, if cleared or approved.
+Added: assure you that we will succeed in building an internal team or entering into and maintaining productive arrangements with an adequate
+Added: number of distributors that are sufficiently committed to selling our products, if cleared or approved.
+Added: The establishment of a distribution
+Added: network is expensive and time consuming.
+Added: As we launch new products and increase our marketing effort with respect to existing products,
+Added: we will need to continue to hire, train, retain and motivate skilled resources with significant technical knowledge.
+Added: In addition, the
+Added: commissions we pay for product sales could increase over time, which would result in higher sales and marketing expenses.
+Added: if we were to rely on distributors, the current and potential distributors may market and sell the products of our competitors.
+Added: the distributors market and sell our products, our competitors may be able, by offering higher commission payments or other incentives,
+Added: to persuade these distributors to reduce or terminate their sales and marketing efforts related to our products.
+Added: The distributors may
+Added: also help competitors solicit business from our existing customers.
+Added: Some of our independent distributors may likely account for a significant
+Added: portion of our sales volume, and, if we were to lose them, our sales could be adversely affected.
+Added: Even if we engage and maintain suitable
+Added: relationships with an adequate number of distributors, they may not generate revenue as quickly as we expect them to, commit the necessary
+Added: resources to effectively market and sell our products, or ultimately succeed in selling our products.
+Added: Risks Related to Intellectual Property
+Added: We may be unable to adequately protect
+Added: its proprietary and intellectual property rights.
+Added: Our ability to compete may
+Added: depend on the superiority, uniqueness and value of any intellectual property and technology that we may develop in the future.
+Added: to protect our proprietary rights by relying on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements
+Added: with its employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions.
+Added: Despite these efforts, any of the following occurrences may
+Added: reduce the value of any of our intellectual property:
+Added: The market for our products and services may depend to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated
+Added: with its trademarks and trade names, and its ability to register its intellectual property under U.S.
+Added: federal and state law.
+Added: Patents in the medical device industry involve complex legal and scientific questions and patent protection
+Added: may not be available for some or any products;
+Added: Our applications for trademarks and copyrights relating to our business may not be granted and, if granted,
+Added: may be challenged or invalidated.
+Added: Issued patents, trademarks and registered copyrights may not provide us with competitive advantages.
+Added: Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation
+Added: of any of our products or intellectual property.
+Added: Our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products similar to, competitive with,
+Added: or superior to, those we develop.
+Added: Another party may obtain a blocking patent and we would need to either obtain a license or design around
+Added: the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature or service in our products.
+Added: The expiration of patent or other intellectual property protections for any assets owned by us could result
+Added: in significant competition, potentially at any time and without notice, resulting in a significant reduction in sales.
+Added: The effect of the
+Added: loss of these protections on us and our financial results will depend, among other things, upon the nature of the market and the position
+Added: of our products in the market from time to time, the growth of the market, the complexities and economics of manufacturing a competitive
+Added: product and regulatory approval requirements but the impact could be material and adverse.
+Added: We may be forced to litigate to defend our
+Added: intellectual property rights, or to defend against claims by third parties against us relating to intellectual property rights.
+Added: We may not be able to protect intellectual
+Added: property that we hope to acquire, which could adversely affect our business.
+Added: The companies that we hope
+Added: to acquire may rely on patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright protection to protect their technology.
+Added: We believe that technological
+Added: leadership can be achieved through additional factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments,
+Added: frequent product enhancements, name recognition, and reliable product maintenance.
+Added: Nevertheless, our ability to compete effectively depends
+Added: in part on our ability to develop and maintain proprietary aspects of our technology, such as patents.
+Added: We may not secure future patents;
+Added: and patents that we may secure may become invalid or may not provide meaningful protection for our product innovations.
+Added: In addition, the
+Added: laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States.
+Added: Furthermore, there
+Added: can be no assurance that competitors will not independently develop similar products, “reverse engineer”
+Added: our products, or,
+Added: if patents are issued to us, design around such patents.
+Added: We also expect to rely upon a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret,
+Added: and other intellectual property laws to protect our proprietary rights by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees,
+Added: consultants, and vendors, and by controlling access to and distribution of our technology, documentation and other proprietary information.
+Added: There can be no assurance, however, that the steps to be taken by us will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that the
+Added: rights granted thereunder will provide a competitive advantage to us.
+Added: Any such circumstance could have a material adverse effect on our
+Added: business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: While we are not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation or
+Added: proceedings, there can be no assurance that we will not become so involved in the future or that our products do not infringe any intellectual
+Added: property or other proprietary right of any third party.
+Added: Such litigation could result in substantial costs, the diversion of resources
+Added: and personnel, and significant liabilities to third parties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
+Added: We may not be able to protect our
+Added: trade names and domain names.
+Added: We may not be able to protect
+Added: our trade names and domain names against all infringers, which could decrease the value of our brand name and proprietary rights.
+Added: hold the Internet domain name Odyssey Group International, Inc.
+Added: Domain names are generally regulated by Internet regulatory bodies, are
+Added: subject to change, and, in some cases, may be superseded, in some cases by-laws, rules and regulations governing the registration of trade
+Added: names and trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as well as ascertain other common law rights.
+Added: If the domain registrars
+Added: are changed, if new ones are created, or if we are deemed to be infringing upon another’s trade name or trademark, we may be unable
+Added: to prevent third parties from acquiring or using, as the case may be, our domain name, trade names or trademarks, which could adversely
+Added: affect our brand name and other proprietary rights.
+Added: We may be forced to litigate to
+Added: enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of other
+Added: parties’
+Added: proprietary rights.
+Added: Any such litigation could
+Added: be very costly and could distract management from focusing on operating our business.
+Added: The existence and/or outcome of any such litigation
+Added: could harm our business.
+Added: We may become subject to litigation, including for possible product liability claims, which may have a material
+Added: adverse effect on our reputation, business, results from operations, and financial condition.
+Added: We may be named as a defendant in a lawsuit
+Added: or regulatory action.
+Added: We may also incur uninsured losses for liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business, or which are
+Added: unforeseen, including, but not limited to, employment liability and business loss claims.
+Added: Any such losses could have a material adverse
+Added: effect on our business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial condition.
+Added: Further, the administration of medical substances
+Added: to humans can result in product liability claims by consumers.
+Added: Product liability claims can be expensive, difficult to defend and may
+Added: result in large judgments or settlements against us.
+Added: We may not be able to obtain or maintain adequate insurance or other protection against
+Added: potential liabilities arising from product sales.
+Added: Product liability claims could also result in negative perception of our products or
+Added: other reputational damage which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial
+Added: If our intellectual property protection
+Added: is inadequate, competitors may gain access to our technology and undermine our competitive position.
+Added: We regard our intended and
+Added: future intellectual property as important to our success, and we intend to rely on patent law to protect our proprietary rights.
+Added: our precautions, unauthorized third parties may copy certain portions of our devices or products or reverse engineer or obtain and use
+Added: information that we regard as proprietary.
+Added: We may seek additional patents in the future.
+Added: We do not know if any future patent application
+Added: will be issued with the scope of the claims, we seek, if at all or whether any patents we receive will be challenged or invalidated.
+Added: we cannot assure you that any intellectual property rights that we may receive can be successfully asserted in the future or that they
+Added: will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged.
+Added: In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights
+Added: to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States.
+Added: Our means of protecting any proprietary rights we may receive in the United States
+Added: or abroad may not be adequate and competitors may independently develop a similar technology.
+Added: Any failure to protect our proprietary information
+Added: and any successful intellectual property challenges or infringement proceedings against us could have a material adverse effect on our
+Added: business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: We may be subject to various litigation
+Added: claims and legal proceedings, including intellectual property litigation, such as patent infringement claims, which could adversely affect
+Added: our business.
+Added: We, as well as certain of
+Added: our directors and officers, may be subject to claims or lawsuits.
+Added: These lawsuits may result in significant legal fees and expenses and
+Added: could divert management’s time and other resources.
+Added: If the claims contained in these lawsuits are successfully asserted against
+Added: us, we could be liable for damages and be required to alter or cease certain of our business practices or product lines.
+Added: outcomes could cause our business, financial performance and cash position to be negatively impacted.
+Added: Additionally, our commercial
+Added: success will also depend, in part, on not infringing on the patents or proprietary rights of others.
+Added: There can be no assurance that the
+Added: technologies and products used or developed by us will not infringe such rights.
+Added: If such infringement occurs and we are not able to obtain
+Added: a license from the relevant third party, we will not be able to continue the development, manufacture, use, or sale of any such infringing
+Added: technology or product.
+Added: There can be no assurance that necessary licenses to third-party technology will be available at all or on commercially
+Added: reasonable terms.
+Added: In some cases, litigation or other proceedings may be necessary to defend against or assert claims of infringement or
+Added: to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of third parties.
+Added: Any potential litigation could result in substantial costs
+Added: to, and diversion of, our resources and could have a material and adverse impact on us.
+Added: An adverse outcome in any
+Added: such litigation or proceeding could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to cease using the subject technology or require
+Added: us to license the subject technology from the third party, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
+Added: Risks Related to Government Regulation
+Added: Our products are subject to substantial
+Added: federal and state regulations.
+Added: Our research and development
+Added: activities and the manufacturing and marketing of our product candidates and products, if cleared or approved, are subject to the laws,
+Added: regulations, and guidelines in the United States and other countries in which the products will be marketed, if cleared or approved.
+Added: Specifically,
+Added: in the United States, the FDA regulates, among other areas, new medical device clearances and approvals and the development and commercialization
+Added: of prescription drugs.
+Added: Obtaining FDA marketing authorization
+Added: will be costly, may result in time-consuming delays and will subject us to ongoing compliance costs and regulatory risk for non-compliance.
+Added: Obtaining FDA marketing authorization,
+Added: through clearance, or pre-market approval (“PMA”) for medical devices and approval of drugs can be expensive and uncertain,
+Added: can take years, and require detailed and comprehensive scientific and clinical data.
+Added: Notwithstanding the expense, these efforts may never
+Added: result in FDA authorization.
+Added: Even if we were to obtain regulatory authorization, it may not be for the uses we intended or which are commercially
+Added: attractive, in which case we would not be permitted to market our product for those uses.
+Added: The FDA can delay, limit or
+Added: deny authorization of a device or drug for many reasons, including:
+Added: we may not be able to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction that our product candidate is safe and
+Added: effective for its intended users;
+Added: the data from our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials may be insufficient to support authorization,
+Added: where required;
+Added: the manufacturing process or facilities we use may not meet applicable requirements.
+Added: In addition, the FDA may change
+Added: its authorization policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay
+Added: marketing authorization of our product candidates under development.
+Added: Any delay in, or failure to receive or maintain clearance or approval
+Added: for our product candidates could prevent us from generating revenue from our products, if cleared or approved, and adversely affect our
+Added: business operations and financial results.
+Added: Even if granted, a 510(k)
+Added: clearance, de novo classification and clearance, or pre-market approval for any future product may place substantial restrictions
+Added: on how our device or drug is marketed or sold, and FDA will continue to place considerable restrictions on our products and operations.
+Added: The manufacture, distribution and sale of medical devices and drugs must comply with extensive laws and regulations, including those relating
+Added: to registration and listing, labeling, marketing, complaint handling, adverse event and medical device reporting, reporting of corrections
+Added: and removals, and import and export.
+Added: If we or our facilities or those of our manufacturers or suppliers are found to be in violation of
+Added: applicable laws and regulations, or if we or our manufacturers or suppliers fail to take satisfactory corrective action in response to
+Added: an adverse inspection, the regulatory authority could take enforcement action, including any of the following sanctions:
+Added: untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
+Added: customer notifications of repair, replacement, refunds, detention or seizure of our products;
+Added: product recalls;
+Added: operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
+Added: refusing or delaying requests for marketing authorization of new products or modified products;
+Added: withdrawing marketing authorizations that have already been granted;
+Added: refusing to provide Certificates for Foreign Government;
+Added: refusing to grant export approval for our products;
+Added: pursuing criminal prosecution.
+Added: Additionally, the FDA and
+Added: other regulatory authorities have broad enforcement powers.
+Added: Regulatory enforcement or inquiries, or other increased scrutiny on us, could
+Added: affect the perceived safety and efficacy of our product candidate and dissuade our customers from using our product candidate, if and
+Added: when it is authorized for marketing.
+Added: We have and may continue to encounter
+Added: substantial delays in planned clinical trials, or our planned clinical trials for other indications may fail to demonstrate the safety
+Added: and efficacy of our product candidates to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities.
+Added: While we currently have no
+Added: ongoing clinical trials, we will need to conduct further clinical trials.
+Added: Clinical trials are complex, expensive, time consuming, uncertain
+Added: as to outcome and are subject to substantial and unanticipated delays.
+Added: Before we may begin clinical trials, if required, for one of our
+Added: medical device product candidates and if the clinical trial is determined to present a significant risk, we will be required to submit
+Added: and obtain approval for an investigational device exemption, or IDE, that describes, among other things, the manufacture of, and controls
+Added: for, the device and a complete investigational plan.
+Added: Clinical trials generally involve a substantial number of patients in a multi-year
+Added: For our pharmaceutical product
+Added: candidates, we are required to submit an Investigational New Drug Application, or IND, the contents of which are subject to discussions
+Added: with FDA and include, among other things, results of preclinical studies and other testing, manufacturing information, proposed clinical
+Added: trial protocols and general investigational plan.
+Added: We cannot begin any clinical trials in the United States until thirty (30) days after
+Added: the IND has been accepted by FDA.
+Added: Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational product to human subjects under the
+Added: supervision of qualified investigators in accordance with current Good Clinical Practices, or cGCPs, which include the requirement that
+Added: all research subjects provide their informed consent for their participation in any clinical study.
+Added: Clinical trials are conducted under
+Added: protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness
+Added: criteria to be evaluated.
+Added: A separate submission to the existing IND must be made for each successive clinical trial conducted during product
+Added: development and for any subsequent protocol amendments.
+Added: Furthermore, an independent Investigational Review Board, or IRB, for each site
+Added: proposing to conduct the clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial and its informed consent form before the
+Added: clinical trial begins at that site and must monitor the study until completed.
+Added: Regulatory authorities, the IRB or the sponsor may suspend
+Added: a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk
+Added: or that the clinical trial is unlikely to meet its stated objectives.
+Added: Some studies also include oversight by an independent group of qualified
+Added: experts organized by the clinical study sponsor, known as a data safety monitoring board, which may review data and endpoints at designated
+Added: check points, make recommendations and/or halt the clinical trial if it determines that there is an unacceptable safety risk for subjects
+Added: or other grounds, such as no demonstration of efficacy.
+Added: There are also requirements governing the reporting of ongoing clinical studies
+Added: and clinical study results to public registries.
+Added: Human clinical trials are
+Added: typically conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap or be combined:
+Added: The product candidate is initially introduced into healthy human subjects or patients with
+Added: the target disease or condition.
+Added: These studies are designed to test the safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, and distribution
+Added: of the investigational product in humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses, and, if possible, to gain early evidence
+Added: on effectiveness.
+Added: In the case of some products for severe or life-threatening diseases, especially when the product may be too inherently
+Added: toxic to ethically administer to healthy volunteers, the initial human testing;
+Added: The product candidate is administered to a limited patient population with a specified disease
+Added: or condition to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, optimal dosages, and dosing schedule and to identify possible adverse side effects
+Added: and safety risks.
+Added: Multiple Phase 2 clinical trials may be conducted to obtain information prior to beginning;
+Added: The product candidate is administered to an expanded patient population to further evaluate
+Added: dosage, to provide statistically significant evidence of clinical efficacy and to further test for safety, generally at multiple geographically
+Added: dispersed clinical trial sites.
+Added: These clinical trials are intended to establish the overall risk.
+Added: Post-approval clinical trials, sometimes referred to as Phase 4 studies, may be conducted after initial
+Added: marketing approval.
+Added: These clinical trials are used to gain additional experience from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic
+Added: In certain instances, the FDA may mandate the performance of Phase 4 clinical trials as a condition of approval of an NDA.
+Added: Because we do not have the
+Added: infrastructure necessary to conduct clinical trials, we will have to hire one or more contract research organizations, or CROs, to conduct
+Added: trials on our behalf.
+Added: CRO contract negotiations may be costly and time consuming and we will rely heavily on the CRO to ensure that our
+Added: trials are conducted in accordance with regulatory and industry standards.
+Added: We may encounter problems with our clinical trials and any
+Added: of those problems could cause us or the FDA to suspend those trials or delay the analysis of the data derived from them.
+Added: Moreover, any
+Added: failure to abide by the applicable regulatory requirements by us, our CROs, and/or clinical trial sites may result in regulatory enforcement
+Added: action against such third parties or us.
+Added: We cannot guarantee that clinical
+Added: trials will be conducted as planned or completed on schedule, if at all.
+Added: A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage
+Added: Delays, including, but not limited those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, can be costly and could negatively affect
+Added: our ability to complete a clinical trial and may allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do, which could impair our
+Added: ability to receive marketing authorization and successfully commercialize our products.
+Added: If we are unable to complete such planned clinical
+Added: trials, or are unsuccessful in doing so, we may be unable to advance our product candidates to regulatory authorization and commercialization,
+Added: which would harm our business, financial condition, results of operations.
+Added: We may be substantially dependent
+Added: on third parties to conduct our clinical trials.
+Added: Since we may conduct clinical
+Added: trials to obtain FDA marketing authorization, we will need to rely heavily on third parties over the course of our clinical trials, and
+Added: as a result will have limited control over the clinical investigators and limited visibility into their day-to-day activities.
+Added: Nevertheless, we are responsible for ensuring that each of our studies is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol and legal,
+Added: regulatory and scientific standards, and our reliance on third parties does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities.
+Added: parties and we are required to comply with current good clinical practices, or cGCPs, which are regulations and guidelines enforced by
+Added: the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities for product candidates in clinical development.
+Added: Regulatory authorities enforce these
+Added: cGCPs through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, principal investigators, and trial sites.
+Added: If we or any of these third parties fail
+Added: to comply with applicable cGCP regulations, the clinical data generated in our clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or
+Added: comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require us to perform additional nonclinical or clinical trials before approving our marketing
+Added: applications or may subject them or us to regulatory enforcement actions.
+Added: We cannot be certain that, upon inspection, such regulatory
+Added: authorities will determine that any of our clinical trials comply with the cGCP regulations.
+Added: In addition, our clinical trials may be required
+Added: to be conducted with a large number of test patients.
+Added: Our failure or any failure by these third parties to comply with these regulations
+Added: or to recruit a sufficient number of patients may require us to repeat clinical trials, which would delay the regulatory marketing authorization
+Added: Moreover, our business may be implicated if any of these third parties violates federal or state fraud and abuse or false claims
+Added: laws and regulations or healthcare privacy and security laws.
+Added: Any third parties conducting
+Added: our clinical trials are not and will not be our employees and, except for remedies available to us under our agreements with such third
+Added: parties, we cannot control whether or not they devote sufficient time and resources to our ongoing preclinical, clinical, and nonclinical
+Added: These third parties may also have relationships with other commercial entities, including our competitors, for whom they may
+Added: also be conducting clinical studies or other development activities, which could affect their performance on our behalf.
+Added: If these third
+Added: parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced,
+Added: or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or
+Added: regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed, or terminated and we may not be able to complete
+Added: development of, obtain regulatory marketing authorization of or successfully commercialize our product candidate.
+Added: As a result, our financial
+Added: results and the commercial prospects for our product candidate would be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate
+Added: revenue could be delayed.
+Added: If any of our relationships
+Added: terminate with these third-party CROs, we may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative CROs or do so on commercially reasonable
+Added: Switching or adding additional CROs involves additional cost and requires management time and focus.
+Added: In addition, there is a natural
+Added: transition period when a new CRO begins work.
+Added: As a result, delays occur, which can materially affect our ability to meet our desired clinical
+Added: development timelines.
+Added: Though we carefully manage our relationships with our CROs, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter
+Added: similar challenges or delays in the future or that these delays or challenges will not have a material adverse impact on our business,
+Added: financial condition, and prospects.
+Added: We may be required to suspend or discontinue
+Added: clinical trials due to side effects or other safety risks that could preclude approval of our products.
+Added: Our clinical trials may be
+Added: suspended at any time for a number of reasons.
+Added: We may voluntarily suspend or terminate our clinical trials if at any time we believe that
+Added: they present an unacceptable risk to participants.
+Added: In addition, regulatory agencies may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation
+Added: of our clinical trials at any time if they believe that the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory
+Added: requirements or that they present an unacceptable safety risk to participants.
+Added: If we are unable to obtain a reimbursement
+Added: code from the U.S.
+Added: Department of Health and Human Services so that our devices or drugs, following receipt of marketing authorization
+Added: is covered under Medicare and Medicaid, this could have a negative impact on our intended sales and would have a material adverse effect
+Added: on our business, financial condition and operating results.
+Added: We plan to submit an application
+Added: Department of Health and Human Services for a reimbursement code so that our devices and drugs are covered under Medicare
+Added: and Medicaid following receipt of marketing authorization.
+Added: However, there can be no assurance that our application will be successful,
+Added: or that we will be able to obtain a reimbursement code in a timely manner.
+Added: In the event that we do not obtain a reimbursement, our customers
+Added: may be unable to obtain reimbursement for their purchases under private or government-sponsored insurance plans, which could have a negative
+Added: impact on our sales and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
+Added: If we fail to comply with healthcare
+Added: laws, we could face substantial penalties and financial exposure, and our business, operations and financial condition could be adversely
+Added: We do not have a product available
+Added: for sale in the United States.
+Added: If, however, we achieve this goal, the availability of payments from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party
+Added: payers would mean that many healthcare laws would place limitations and requirements on the manner in which we conduct our business, including
+Added: our sales and promotional activities and interactions with healthcare professionals and facilities.
+Added: In some instances, our interactions
+Added: with healthcare professionals and facilities that occurred prior to commercialization (e.g., the granting of stock options) could have
+Added: implications at a later date.
+Added: The laws that may affect our ability to operate include, among others:
+Added: (i) the federal healthcare programs
+Added: Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying
+Added: remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or
+Added: recommendation of, any good or service for which payment may be made under federal healthcare programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, (ii) federal
+Added: false claims laws which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims
+Added: for payment from Medicare, Medicaid, or other third-party payers that are false or fraudulent, and which may apply to entities like us
+Added: if we provide coding and billing advice to customers, or under theories of “implied certification”
+Added: where the government and qui
+Added: tam relators may allege that device companies are liable where a product that was paid for by the government in whole or in part
+Added: was promoted “off-label,”
+Added: lacked necessary marketing authorization, or failed to comply with good manufacturing
+Added: practices or other laws;
+Added: (iii) transparency laws and related reporting and/or disclosures such as the Sunshine Act;
+Added: and/or (iv) state
+Added: law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed
+Added: by any third-party payer, including commercial insurers, many of which differ from their federal counterparts in significant ways, thus
+Added: complicating compliance efforts.
+Added: If our operations are
+Added: found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be
+Added: subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs,
+Added: damages, fines and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.
+Added: Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment or
+Added: restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.
+Added: our being found in violation of these laws is increased by the fact that their provisions are open to a variety of evolving
+Added: interpretations and enforcement discretion.
+Added: Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend
+Added: against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our
+Added: Our communications regarding product
+Added: candidates, even while in development, are subject to extensive government scrutiny.
+Added: We may be subject to governmental, regulatory
+Added: and other legal proceedings relative to advertising, promotion, and marketing, and communications with study subjects and healthcare professionals,
+Added: which could have a significant negative effect on our business.
+Added: We are subject to governmental
+Added: oversight and associated civil and criminal enforcement relating to advertising, promotion, and marketing, and such enforcement is evolving
+Added: and intensifying.
+Added: Communications regarding our products in development and regarding our clinical trials may subject us to enforcement
+Added: if they do not comply with applicable laws and regulations.
+Added: In the United States, we are potentially subject to enforcement from the FDA,
+Added: other divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S.
+Added: Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, the Department of Justice,
+Added: and state and local governments.
+Added: Other parties, including private plaintiffs, also are commonly bringing suit against pharmaceutical
+Added: and medical device companies.
+Added: We may be subject to liability based on the actions of individual employees and third-party contractors
+Added: carrying out activities on our behalf.
+Added: legislative or FDA regulatory
+Added: reforms may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates and to manufacture, market
+Added: and distribute our products after marketing authorization is obtained.
+Added: From time to time, legislation
+Added: is drafted and introduced in Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulatory approval, manufacture
+Added: and marketing of regulated products or the reimbursement thereof.
+Added: In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted
+Added: by the FDA in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products.
+Added: Any new regulations or revisions or reinterpretations
+Added: of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of future products.
+Added: In addition, FDA regulations and guidance
+Added: are often revised or reinterpreted by the agency in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products.
+Added: It is impossible
+Added: to predict whether legislative changes will be enacted, or FDA regulations, guidance or interpretations changed, and what the impact of
+Added: such changes, if any, may be.
+Added: Risks Related to our Business Operations
+Added: Failure to implement our business
+Added: strategy could adversely affect our operations.
+Added: Our financial position, liquidity
+Added: and results of operations depend on our management’s ability to execute our business strategy.
+Added: Key factors involved in the execution
+Added: of the business strategy include:
successful sales through indirect sales distribution;
2 unchanged sentences
achieving the desired cost of goods on inventory;
−Removed: obtaining the required regulatory clearances from the FDA;
−Removed: Our failure or inability
−Removed: to execute any element of our business strategy could materially adversely affect our financial position, liquidity and results
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: Our inability
−Removed: to attract, train and retain additional qualified personnel may harm our business and impede the implementation of our business
−Removed: We need to attract,
−Removed: integrate, motivate and retain a significant number of additional personnel in 2020 and beyond.
−Removed: Competition for these individuals
−Removed: in our industry and geographic region is intense, and we may be unable to attract, assimilate or retain such highly qualified personnel
−Removed: in the future.
+Added: obtaining the required regulatory clearances or approvals from the FDA.
+Added: Our failure or inability to
+Added: execute any element of our business strategy could materially adversely affect our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.
+Added: Our inability to attract, train and
+Added: retain additional qualified personnel may harm our business and impede the implementation of our business strategy.
+Added: We need to attract, integrate,
+Added: motivate and retain a significant number of additional personnel in 2021 and beyond.
+Added: Competition for these individuals in our industry
+Added: and geographic region is intense, and we may be unable to attract, assimilate or retain such highly qualified personnel in the future.
Our business cannot continue to grow if we are unable to attract such qualified personnel.
−Removed: Our failure to attract
−Removed: and retain highly trained personnel that are essential to our business may limit our growth rate, which would harm our business
−Removed: and impede the implementation of our business strategy.
−Removed: The Company may
−Removed: be unable to adequately protect its proprietary and intellectual property rights.
−Removed: The Company’s
−Removed: ability to compete may depend on the superiority, uniqueness and value of any intellectual property and technology that it may
−Removed: develop in the future.
−Removed: The Company intends to protect its proprietary rights by relying on a combination of patent, trademark,
−Removed: copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with its employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions.
−Removed: Despite these efforts, any of the following occurrences may reduce the value of any of the Company’s intellectual property:
−Removed: the market for the Company’s products
−Removed: and services may depend to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with its trademarks and trade names, and its ability
−Removed: to register its intellectual property under U.S.
−Removed: federal and state law.
−Removed: patents in the medical device industry
−Removed: involve complex legal and scientific questions and patent protection may not be available for some or any products.
−Removed: the Company’s applications for trademarks
−Removed: and copyrights relating to its business may not be granted and, if granted, may be challenged or invalidated.
−Removed: issued patents, trademarks and registered
−Removed: copyrights may not provide the Company with competitive advantages.
−Removed: the Company’s efforts to protect
−Removed: its intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of any its products or intellectual property.
−Removed: the Company’s efforts may not prevent
−Removed: the development and design by others of products similar to, competitive with, or superior to those the Company develops.
−Removed: another party may obtain a blocking patent
−Removed: and the Company would need to either obtain a license or design around the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature
−Removed: or service in its products.
−Removed: the expiration of patent or other intellectual
−Removed: property protections for any assets owned by the Company could result in significant competition, potentially at any time and without
−Removed: notice, resulting in a significant reduction in sales.
−Removed: The effect of the loss of these protections on the Company and its financial
−Removed: results will depend, among other things, upon the nature of the market and the position of the Company’s products in the
−Removed: market from time to time, the growth of the market, the complexities and economics of manufacturing a competitive product and regulatory
−Removed: approval requirements but the impact could be material and adverse.
−Removed: The Company may be forced to litigate to defend its intellectual
−Removed: property rights, or to defend against claims by third parties against the Company relating to intellectual property rights.
−Removed: We may not be
−Removed: able to protect intellectual property that we hope to acquire, which could adversely affect our business.
−Removed: The companies that
−Removed: we hope to acquire may rely on patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright protection to protect their technology.
−Removed: that technological leadership can be achieved through additional factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel,
−Removed: new product developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition, and reliable product maintenance.
−Removed: Nevertheless, our
−Removed: ability to compete effectively depends in part on our ability to develop and maintain proprietary aspects of our technology, such
−Removed: We may not secure future patents;
−Removed: and patents that we may secure may become invalid or may not provide meaningful protection
−Removed: for our product innovations.
−Removed: In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the
−Removed: same extent as the United States.
−Removed: Furthermore, there can be no assurance that competitors will not independently develop similar
−Removed: products, "reverse engineer"
−Removed: our products, or, if patents are issued to us, design around such patents.
−Removed: We also expect
−Removed: to rely upon a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws to protect our proprietary
−Removed: rights by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, and vendors, and by controlling access to and
−Removed: distribution of our technology, documentation and other proprietary information.
−Removed: There can be no assurance, however, that the steps
−Removed: to be taken by us will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide a competitive
−Removed: advantage to us.
−Removed: Any such circumstance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
−Removed: While we are not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation or proceedings, there can be no assurance
−Removed: that we will not become so involved in the future or that our products do not infringe any intellectual property or other proprietary
−Removed: right of any third party.
−Removed: Such litigation could result in substantial costs, the diversion of resources and personnel, and significant
−Removed: liabilities to third parties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
−Removed: We may not be
−Removed: able to protect our trade names and domain names.
−Removed: We may not be able
−Removed: to protect our trade names and domain names against all infringers, which could decrease the value of our brand name and proprietary
−Removed: We currently hold the Internet domain name Odyssey Group International, Inc.
−Removed: Domain names are generally regulated by Internet
−Removed: regulatory bodies, are subject to change, and, in some cases, may be superseded, in some cases by-laws, rules and regulations governing
−Removed: the registration of trade names and trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as well as ascertain other common
−Removed: If the domain registrars are changed, if new ones are created, or if we are deemed to be infringing upon another's
−Removed: trade name or trademark, we may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring or using, as the case may be, our domain name,
−Removed: trade names or trademarks, which could adversely affect our brand name and other proprietary rights.
−Removed: The Company may
−Removed: be forced to litigate to enforce or defend its intellectual property rights, to protect its trade secrets or to determine the validity
−Removed: and scope of other parties’
−Removed: proprietary rights.
−Removed: Any such litigation
−Removed: could be very costly and could distract management from focusing on operating the Company’s business.
−Removed: The existence and/or
−Removed: outcome of any such litigation could harm the Company’s business.
−Removed: The Company may become subject to litigation, including
−Removed: for possible product liability claims, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation, business, results
−Removed: from operations, and financial condition.
−Removed: The Company may be named as a defendant in a lawsuit or regulatory action.
−Removed: may also incur uninsured losses for liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business, or which are unforeseen, including,
−Removed: but not limited to, employment liability and business loss claims.
−Removed: Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on the
−Removed: Company’s business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial condition.
−Removed: Further, the administration of medical
−Removed: substances to humans can result in product liability claims by consumers.
−Removed: Product liability claims can be expensive, difficult
−Removed: to defend and may result in large judgments or settlements against the Company.
−Removed: The Company may not be able to obtain or maintain
−Removed: adequate insurance or other protection against potential liabilities arising from product sales.
−Removed: Product liability claims could
−Removed: also result in negative perception of the Company’s products or other reputational damage which could have a material adverse
−Removed: effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial condition.
−Removed: We may fail to
−Removed: defend the Company from infringement litigation.
−Removed: The Company could be
−Removed: subject to potential infringement actions.
−Removed: The Company's business is "Patent intensive,"
−Removed: requiring the Company to constantly
−Removed: search for patented technologies that are not already used by competitors.
−Removed: Any claims for infringement, with or without merit and
−Removed: whether based on allegations that its technology or its intellectual property claims infringe upon the rights of others, could
−Removed: subject the Company to costly litigation and the diversion of financial and human resources, regardless of the ultimate resolution
−Removed: of the claim.
−Removed: If these claims are successful, the Company may be required to modify its products or services and pay financial
−Removed: damages or to attempt to negotiate with third parties for licensing.
−Removed: The Company may
−Removed: be unable to maintain sufficient product liability insurance.
−Removed: The Company may incur
−Removed: product liability for products sold through its distribution chain.
−Removed: Consumers may sue if products sold through its distribution
−Removed: chain or purchased through the Company-operated websites are defective or injure the user.
−Removed: This type of claim could require the
−Removed: Company to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages.
−Removed: At this time, the Company carries no product
−Removed: liability insurance.
−Removed: As a result, any legal claims, whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and business.
−Removed: are subject to substantial federal and state regulations.
−Removed: The Company's research
−Removed: and development activities and the manufacturing and marketing of the Company's products are subject to the laws, regulations,
−Removed: and guidelines and, in some cases, regulatory approvals of governmental authorities in the United States and other countries in
−Removed: which the products are or will be marketed.
−Removed: Specifically, in the United States, the FDA regulates, among other areas, new medical
−Removed: device approvals, prescription drugs and clinical trials of new products and establishes the proper labeling, safety and efficacy
−Removed: of these products and the accuracy of certain marketing claims.
−Removed: We anticipate
−Removed: significant growth in our business, and any inability to manage such growth could harm our business.
−Removed: Our success will depend,
−Removed: in part, on our ability to effectively manage our growth and expansion.
−Removed: We plan to expand our business significantly.
−Removed: in, or expansion of, our business is likely to continue to place a significant strain on our management and administrative resources,
−Removed: infrastructure and systems.
−Removed: In order to succeed, we will need to continue to implement management information systems and improve
−Removed: our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems and controls.
−Removed: We will also need to train new employees and maintain
−Removed: close coordination among our executive, accounting, finance and operations organizations.
−Removed: These processes are time consuming and
−Removed: expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention.
−Removed: Our inability or failure to manage our
−Removed: growth and expansion effectively could substantially harm our business and adversely affect our operating results and financial
−Removed: Our inability
−Removed: to retain and properly insure against the loss of the services of our executive officer and other key personnel may harm our business
−Removed: and impede the implementation of our business strategy.
−Removed: Our future success
−Removed: depends significantly on the skills and efforts of Joseph Michael Redmond, President, CEO and Director and possibly other key personnel.
−Removed: The loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm our business and operations.
−Removed: In addition, we have not obtained
−Removed: key person life insurance on any of our key employees.
−Removed: If any of our executive officers or key employees left or was seriously
−Removed: injured and unable to work and we were unable to find a qualified replacement and/or to obtain adequate compensation for such loss,
−Removed: we may be unable to manage our business, which could harm our operating results and financial condition.
−Removed: Our inability
−Removed: to attract, train and retain additional qualified personnel may harm our business and impede the implementation of our business
−Removed: Once our business begins
−Removed: to grow, we will need to attract, integrate, motivate and retain a significant number of additional administrative and sales personnel.
−Removed: Competition for these individuals in our industry and geographic region is intense, and we may be unable to attract, assimilate
−Removed: or retain such highly qualified personnel in the future.
−Removed: Our business cannot continue to grow if we are unable to attract such
−Removed: qualified personnel.
−Removed: Our failure to attract and retain highly trained personnel that are essential to our business may limit our
−Removed: growth rate, which would harm our business and impede the implementation of our business strategy.
−Removed: We may indemnify
−Removed: our directors and officers against liability to us and our stockholders, and such indemnification could increase our operating
−Removed: Our bylaws allow us
−Removed: to indemnify our directors and officers against claims associated with carrying out the duties of their offices.
−Removed: Our bylaws also
−Removed: allow us to reimburse them for the costs of certain legal defenses.
−Removed: Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
−Removed: Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons, we have been advised by the SEC that such
−Removed: indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.
−Removed: Since our directors and officers are aware that they may
−Removed: be indemnified for carrying out the duties of their offices, they may be less motivated to meet the standards required by law to
−Removed: properly carry out such duties, which could increase our operating costs.
−Removed: Further, if our directors and officers file a claim against
−Removed: us for indemnification, the associated expenses also could increase our operating costs.
−Removed: There are substantial
−Removed: inherent risks in attempting to commercialize newly developed products, and, as a result, we may not be able to successfully develop
−Removed: new products.
−Removed: The Company plans to
−Removed: conduct research and development of products in the health and wellness field.
−Removed: However, commercial feasibility and acceptance of
−Removed: such product candidates are unknown.
−Removed: Scientific research and development require significant amounts of capital and takes an extremely
−Removed: long time to reach commercial viability, if at all.
−Removed: During the research and development process, we may experience technological
−Removed: barriers that we may be unable to overcome.
−Removed: Because of these uncertainties, it is possible that some of our future product candidates
−Removed: will never be successfully developed.
−Removed: If we are unable to successfully develop new products, we may be unable to generate new revenue
−Removed: sources or build a sustainable or profitable business.
−Removed: to achieve commercial acceptance of our products to generate revenues and achieve profitability.
−Removed: Superior competitive
−Removed: products may be introduced, or customer needs may change, which would diminish or extinguish the uses for our products.
−Removed: predict when significant commercial market acceptance for our products will develop, if at all, and we cannot reliably estimate
−Removed: the projected size of any such potential market.
−Removed: If markets fail to accept our products, then we may not be able to generate revenues
−Removed: Our revenue growth and achievement of profitability will depend substantially on our ability to introduce new products
−Removed: that are accepted by customers.
−Removed: If we are unable to cost-effectively achieve acceptance of our products by customers, or if our
−Removed: products do not achieve wide market acceptance, then our business will be materially and adversely affected.
−Removed: rely on third parties for the worldwide marketing and distribution of our product candidates, who may not be successful in selling
−Removed: our products.
−Removed: We currently do not
−Removed: have adequate resources to market and distribute any of our products worldwide and expect to engage third-party marketing and distribution
−Removed: companies to perform these tasks.
−Removed: While we believe that distribution partners will be available, we cannot assure you that the
−Removed: distribution partners, if any, will succeed in marketing our products on a global basis.
−Removed: We may not be able to maintain satisfactory
−Removed: arrangements with our marketing and distribution partners, who may not devote adequate resources to selling our products.
−Removed: happens, we may not be able to successfully market our products, which would decrease or eliminate our ability to generate revenues.
−Removed: may be displaced by superior products developed by third parties.
−Removed: The health and wellness
−Removed: industry is constantly undergoing rapid and significant change.
−Removed: Third parties may succeed in developing or marketing products that
−Removed: are more effective than those developed or marketed by us or that would make our products obsolete or non-competitive.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: researchers could develop new procedures and medications that replace or reduce the use of our products.
−Removed: Accordingly, our success
−Removed: will depend, in part, on our ability to respond quickly to medical and technological changes through the development and introduction
−Removed: of new products.
−Removed: We may not have the resources to do this.
−Removed: If our products become obsolete and our efforts to develop new products
−Removed: do not result in commercially successful products, then our sales and revenues will decline.
−Removed: may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and harm our financial condition and operating results.
−Removed: Our products consist
−Removed: of devices that diagnose heart ailments and dislodge blockage in the airway passage.
−Removed: Our products could malfunction.
−Removed: As a marketer
−Removed: of a medical devices used on the human body, we may be subjected to various product liability claims, including that the products
−Removed: contain defective parts, the products include inadequate instructions as to their uses or the products include inadequate warnings
−Removed: concerning side effects and interactions with other substances.
−Removed: It is possible that widespread product liability claims could increase
−Removed: our costs and adversely affect our revenues and operating income.
−Removed: Moreover, liability claims arising from a serious adverse event
−Removed: may increase our costs through higher insurance premiums and deductibles and may make it more difficult to secure adequate insurance
−Removed: coverage in the future.
−Removed: Our management
−Removed: has broad discretion regarding the use of proceeds.
−Removed: We intend to use the
−Removed: proceeds from any offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, product enhancements,
−Removed: product development and regulatory filings to the FDA and to begin initial marketing efforts.
−Removed: In any case, we will have broad discretion
−Removed: over how we use these proceeds.
−Removed: Investors may
−Removed: experience dilution in the value of the shares of common stock.
−Removed: We anticipate offering
−Removed: common stock or preferred stock in offerings, which could cause further dilution.
−Removed: If our business
−Removed: is unsuccessful, our stockholders may lose their entire investment.
−Removed: Although our stockholders
−Removed: will not be bound by or be personally liable for our expenses, liabilities or obligations beyond their total original investments
−Removed: in our common stock, if we suffer a deficiency in funds with which to satisfy our obligations, our stockholders as a whole may
−Removed: lose their entire investment in our company.
−Removed: Your ownership
−Removed: will be diluted by future issuances of capital stock.
+Added: Our failure to attract and retain highly trained
+Added: personnel that are essential to our business may limit our growth rate, which would harm our business and impede the implementation of
our business strategy.
−Removed: requires us to raise additional equity capital through the sale of common stock or preferred stock.
−Removed: Your percentage of ownership
−Removed: will become diluted as we issue new shares of stock.
−Removed: Stockholders have no rights to buy additional shares of stock in the event
−Removed: we issue new shares of stock, known as preemptive rights.
−Removed: We may issue common stock, convertible debt or common stock pursuant
−Removed: to a public offering or a private placement, upon exercise of warrants or options, or to sellers of properties we directly or indirectly
−Removed: acquire instead of, or in addition to, cash consideration.

−Removed: Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
−Removed: Dependence on
−Removed: financing and losses for the foreseeable future.
−Removed: Our independent registered
−Removed: public accounting firm has issued its audit opinion on our consolidated financial statements appearing in this Annual Report on
−Removed: Form 10-K, including an explanatory paragraph as to substantial doubt with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
−Removed: in the United States of America, assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
−Removed: satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
−Removed: For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020, our net loss was $4,348,855.
−Removed: As of July 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $28,850,728.
−Removed: As of July 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $707,062
−Removed: and current assets of $99,619 and a working capital deficit of $607,443.
−Removed: These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
−Removed: to continue as a going concern which is dependent on our ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to
−Removed: meet short- and long-term operating requirements.
−Removed: We may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments
−Removed: or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a need for additional cash.
−Removed: Our ability to continue as a going concern
−Removed: is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions.
−Removed: To stay in business, we will need to raise additional capital through
−Removed: public or private sales of our securities or debt financing.
−Removed: In the past, we have financed our operations by issuing secured and
−Removed: unsecured convertible debt and equity securities in private placements, in some cases with equity incentives for the investor in
−Removed: the form of warrants to purchase our common stock, and we have borrowed from related parties.
−Removed: We have sought, and will continue
−Removed: to seek, various sources of financing.
−Removed: If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities,
−Removed: the percentage ownership of our current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences, or privileges
−Removed: senior to our common stock.
−Removed: Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or available at all.
−Removed: If adequate funds
−Removed: are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities,
−Removed: which could significantly and materially restrict our operations.
−Removed: If we are unable to obtain necessary capital, we may have to
−Removed: cease operations.
−Removed: There are no additional commitments from anyone to provide us with financing.
−Removed: We can provide no assurance as
−Removed: to whether our capital raising efforts will be successful or as to when, or if, we will be profitable in the future.
−Removed: Company achieves profitability, it may not be able to sustain such profitability.
−Removed: If we are unable to obtain financing or achieve
−Removed: and sustain profitability, we may have to suspend operations or sell assets, making us unable to execute our business plan.
−Removed: to become and remain profitable may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital and
−Removed: continue operations.
−Removed: For additional information, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
−Removed: of Operations –
−Removed: “Going Concern.”
−Removed: Our ability to
−Removed: generate positive cash flows is uncertain.
−Removed: To develop and expand
−Removed: our business, we will need to make significant up-front investments in our manufacturing capacity and incur research and development,
−Removed: sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.
−Removed: In addition, our growth will require a significant investment in
−Removed: working capital.
−Removed: Our business will require significant amounts of working capital to meet our project requirements and support
−Removed: We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise the capital necessary to meet these requirements.
−Removed: adequate funds are not available or are not available on satisfactory terms, we may be required to significantly curtail our operations
−Removed: and may not be able to fund our current production requirements, let alone fund expansion, take advantage of unanticipated acquisition
−Removed: opportunities, develop or enhance our products, and respond to competitive pressures.
−Removed: Any failure to obtain such additional financing
−Removed: could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
−Removed: Because we may
−Removed: never have net income from our operations, our business may fail.
−Removed: We have no history
−Removed: of profitability from operations.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.
−Removed: Our success is significantly
−Removed: dependent on uncertain events, including successful developing our products, establishing satisfactory manufacturing arrangements
−Removed: and processes, and distributing and selling our products.
−Removed: If we are unable to generate significant revenues from sales of our products,
−Removed: we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
−Removed: We can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever
−Removed: achieve profitability.
−Removed: If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail, and investors may lose all of
−Removed: their investment in our Company.
−Removed: We need to raise
−Removed: additional funds, and such funds may not be available on acceptable terms.
−Removed: We may consider issuing
−Removed: additional debt or equity securities in the future to fund our business plan, for general corporate purposes or for potential acquisitions
−Removed: or investments.
−Removed: If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience
−Removed: dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders.
−Removed: If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization, requiring us
−Removed: to pay additional interest expenses.
−Removed: We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, in which case, we may not be able
−Removed: to develop or enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive
+Added: We may be unable to maintain sufficient
+Added: product liability insurance.
+Added: We may incur product liability
+Added: for products sold through our distribution chain.
+Added: Consumers may sue if products sold through our distribution chain or purchased through
+Added: our websites are defective or injure the user.
+Added: This type of claim could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or
+Added: to pay significant damages.
+Added: At this time, we carry no product liability insurance.
+Added: As a result, any legal claims, whether or not successful,
+Added: could seriously damage our reputation and business.
+Added: Conducting any future clinical trials
+Added: of our product candidates and any future commercial sales of a product candidate may expose us to expensive product liability claims,
+Added: and we may not be able to maintain product liability insurance on reasonable terms or at all and may be required to limit commercialization
+Added: of our product candidates.
+Added: We face an inherent risk of
+Added: product liability as a result of the preclinical and future clinical testing of our product candidates and will face an even greater risk
+Added: when and if we commercialize any products.
+Added: For example, we may be sued if our product candidates cause or are perceived to cause injury
+Added: or are found to be otherwise unsuitable during preclinical or clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale.
+Added: Any such product liability
+Added: claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence,
+Added: strict liability or a breach of warranties.
+Added: Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts.
+Added: If we cannot successfully
+Added: defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit testing and commercialization
+Added: of our product candidates.
+Added: Even successful defense would require significant financial and management resources.
+Added: Regardless of the merits
+Added: or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:
+Added: decreased or interrupted demand for our products;
+Added: injury to our reputation;
+Added: withdrawal of clinical trial participants and inability to continue our clinical trials;
+Added: initiation of investigations by regulators;
+Added: costs to defend the related litigation;
+Added: a diversion of management’s time and our resources;
+Added: substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;
+Added: product recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions;
+Added: loss of revenue;
+Added: exhaustion of any available insurance and our capital resources;
+Added: the inability to commercialize any product candidate;
+Added: a decline in our share price.
+Added: Our inability to obtain sufficient
+Added: product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization
+Added: of products we develop, alone or with collaborators.
+Added: Our insurance policies may have various exclusions, and we may be subject to a product
+Added: liability claim for which we have no coverage.
+Added: We may have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed
+Added: our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay
+Added: such amounts.
+Added: Even if our agreements with any future corporate collaborators entitle us to indemnification against losses, such indemnification
+Added: may not be available or adequate should any claim arise.
+Added: We anticipate growth in our business,
+Added: and any inability to manage such growth could harm our business.
+Added: Our success will depend, in
+Added: part, on our ability to effectively manage our growth and expansion.
+Added: Any growth in, or expansion of, our business is likely to continue
+Added: to place a significant strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems.
+Added: In order to succeed, we will
+Added: need to continue to implement management information systems and improve our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems
+Added: and controls.
+Added: We will also need to train new employees and maintain close coordination among our executive, accounting, finance and operations
+Added: organizations.
+Added: These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management
+Added: Our inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion effectively could substantially harm our business and adversely
+Added: affect our operating results and financial condition.
+Added: Our inability to retain and properly
+Added: insure against the loss of the services of our executive officer and other key personnel may harm our business and impede the implementation
+Added: of our business strategy.
+Added: Our future success depends
+Added: significantly on the skills and efforts of Joseph Michael Redmond, President, CEO and Director and possibly other key personnel.
+Added: of the services of any of these individuals could harm our business and operations.
+Added: In addition, we have not obtained key person life
+Added: insurance on any of our key employees.
+Added: If any of our executive officers or key employees left or was seriously injured and unable to work
+Added: and we were unable to find a qualified replacement and/or to obtain adequate compensation for such loss, we may be unable to manage our
+Added: business, which could harm our operating results and financial condition.
We participate in transactions and
make tax calculations for which the ultimate tax determination may be uncertain.
−Removed: We participate in many
−Removed: transactions and make tax calculations during the course of our business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.
−Removed: While we believe we maintain provisions for uncertain tax positions that appropriately reflect our risk, these provisions are made
−Removed: using estimates of the amounts expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of several factors.
−Removed: It is possible that liabilities
−Removed: associated with one or more transactions may exceed our provisions due to audits by, or litigation with, relevant taxing authorities
−Removed: which may materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Risks Related to Our Common Stock
−Removed: and Its Market Value
−Removed: We have limited
−Removed: capitalization and may require financing, which may not be available.
+Added: We participate in many transactions

+Added: amounts expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of several factors.
+Added: It is possible that liabilities associated with one
+Added: or more transactions may exceed our provisions due to audits by, or litigation with, relevant taxing authorities which may materially
+Added: adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: We may indemnify our directors and
+Added: officers against liability to us and our stockholders, and such indemnification could increase our operating costs.
+Added: Our bylaws allow us to indemnify
+Added: our directors and officers against claims associated with carrying out the duties of their offices.
+Added: Our bylaws also allow us to reimburse
+Added: them for the costs of certain legal defenses.
+Added: Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
+Added: be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons, we have been advised by the SEC that such indemnification is against public
+Added: policy and is therefore unenforceable.
+Added: Since our directors and officers are aware that they may be indemnified for carrying out the duties
+Added: of their offices, they may be less motivated to meet the standards required by law to properly carry out such duties, which could increase
+Added: our operating costs.
+Added: Further, if our directors and officers file a claim against us for indemnification, the associated expenses also
+Added: could increase our operating costs.
+Added: If we fail to develop or maintain
+Added: an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent financial fraud.
+Added: a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
+Added: We are subject to the risk
+Added: that sometime in the future our independent registered public accounting firm could communicate to the board of directors that we have
+Added: deficiencies in our internal control structure that they consider to be “significant deficiencies.”
+Added: A “significant deficiency”
+Added: is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is more than
+Added: a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s
+Added: internal controls.
+Added: Effective internal controls
+Added: are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud.
+Added: If we cannot provide reliable financial reports
+Added: or prevent fraud, we could be subject to regulatory action or other litigation and our operating results could be harmed.
+Added: We are required
+Added: to document and test our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
+Added: “Sarbanes-Oxley Act,”
+Added: or “SOX”), which requires our management to annually assess the effectiveness of our internal
+Added: control over financial reporting.
+Added: We currently are not an “accelerated
+Added: as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
+Added: Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
+Added: 2002 (“Section 404”) requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: That report must
+Added: include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal
+Added: This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified.
+Added: As of July 31, 2021, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on SEC guidance on conducting
+Added: such assessments and on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control and Integrated
+Added: Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
+Added: Management concluded,
+Added: during the year-ended July 31, 2021, that our internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application
+Added: Management realized there were deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control that adversely affected
+Added: our internal control, which management considers to be material weaknesses.
+Added: A material weakness in the effectiveness of our internal control
+Added: over financial reporting may increase the chance of fraud and the loss of customers, reduce our ability to obtain financing, and require
+Added: additional expenditures to comply with these requirements.
+Added: Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business,
+Added: results of operations and financial condition.
+Added: For additional information, see Item 9A –
+Added: Controls and Procedures.
+Added: It may be time-consuming,
+Added: difficult, and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
+Added: We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls, and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate
+Added: internal controls and reporting procedures.
+Added: If we are unable to comply with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
+Added: then we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by such act, which may preclude us from keeping our
+Added: filings with the SEC current.
+Added: If we are unable to maintain
+Added: the adequacy of our internal controls, as those standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we may not be able
+Added: to ensure that we may conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with
+Added: Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and cause
+Added: investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
+Added: Our Articles of Incorporation provide
+Added: that certain proceedings may only be instituted in the District Courts of Nevada, which may prevent or delay such proceedings and will
+Added: increase the costs to enforce stockholder rights.
+Added: Our Articles of Incorporation
+Added: provide that the following actions and proceedings may only be brought in the courts located in the State of Nevada:
+Added: (i) derivative actions
+Added: brought on behalf of the company, (ii) any action asserting breach of fiduciary duty by the directors or officers, (iii) any action brought
+Added: under the Business Associations, Securities and Commodities statutes of the State of Nevada, and (iv) actions asserting a claim under
+Added: the internal affairs doctrine.
+Added: No court has determined that such provisions are enforceable in Nevada, and we may be forced to defend
+Added: proceedings brought in other states if such provision is ruled unenforceable.
+Added: If enforceable, claims covered by this provision may be
+Added: maintained in the courts of the State of Nevada only if such courts have personal jurisdiction over the defendants.
+Added: If the State of Nevada
+Added: does not have personal jurisdiction over any named defendant, this provision may have the effect of preventing the prosecution of any
+Added: Additionally, because stockholders may initiate such actions only in the State of Nevada, stockholders will be required to incur
+Added: additional costs and expense such as engaging legal counsel authorized to practice in Nevada.
+Added: Moreover, the laws of the State of Nevada
+Added: may be more favorable to us or our management than the laws of the state in which any stockholder resides.
+Added: Our certificate of incorporation allows
+Added: our board to create new series of preferred stock without approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the
+Added: holders of our common stock.
+Added: Our board of directors has
+Added: the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock.
+Added: Our board of directors also has the authority
+Added: to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval.
+Added: As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of
+Added: preferred stock granting holders a preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends
+Added: are distributed to the holders of common stock, and the right to redemption of the shares, together with a premium prior to the redemption
+Added: of our common stock.
+Added: In addition, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater
+Added: voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our
+Added: common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
+Added: Our financial and operating performance
+Added: is adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
+Added: The outbreak of a strain of
+Added: coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S.
+Added: has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations.
+Added: Mandatory closures of businesses imposed
+Added: by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus is disrupting the operations of our management, business
+Added: and finance teams.
+Added: In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S.
+Added: economy and financial markets, which may result
+Added: in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance.
+Added: The extent to which COVID-19 and the efforts to
+Added: mitigate the effects will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments which are highly
+Added: uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of the filing, but is expected to result in a material adverse impact on our business, results
+Added: of operations and financial condition.
+Added: If our expenses are greater than anticipated,
+Added: then we will have fewer funds with which to pursue our plan of operations and our financing requirements will be greater than anticipated.
+Added: We may find that the costs
+Added: of carrying out our plan of operations are greater than we anticipate.
+Added: We expect our expenses to increase over time in connection with
+Added: our ongoing activities, particularly if and as we:
+Added: invest in marketing and distribution capabilities in support of developing and potentially
+Added: commercializing our products in the U.S., if cleared or approved;
+Added: make improvements product design;
+Added: launch the PRV-002 trial
+Added: or conduct other trials of the products, subject to discussion with FDA;
+Added: pursue regulatory clearances and approvals;
+Added: maintain, expand
+Added: and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
+Added: engage third party manufacturers;
+Added: and add additional personnel.
+Added: Increased operating costs
+Added: may cause the amount of financing that we require to increase.
+Added: Investors may be more reluctant to provide additional financing if we cannot
+Added: demonstrate that we can control our operating costs.
+Added: There is no assurance that additional financing required as a result of our operating
+Added: costs being greater than anticipated will be available to us.
+Added: If we do not control our operating expenses, then we will have fewer funds
+Added: with which to carry out our plan of operations with the result that our business may fail.
+Added: We are heavily dependent upon the
+Added: ability and expertise of our management team and a very limited number of employees and the loss of such individuals could have a material
+Added: adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
+Added: We currently have a very small
+Added: management team.
+Added: Our success is dependent upon the ability, expertise and judgment of our senior management.
+Added: While employment agreements
+Added: are customarily used as a primary method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure the continued services
+Added: of such employees.
+Added: Any loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results
+Added: or financial condition.
+Added: Our ability to use net operating losses
+Added: to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
+Added: Under Section 382 of
+Added: the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, substantial changes in a corporation’s ownership may limit the amount
+Added: of net operating losses, or NOLs, that can be utilized annually in the future to offset the corporation’s (and the corporation’s
+Added: affiliates’) U.S.
+Added: federal and state taxable income.
+Added: Specifically, this limitation may arise in the event of a cumulative change
+Added: in ownership of more than 50% within any three-year period.
+Added: The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of the
+Added: corporation that underwent the ownership change, immediately before the ownership change.
+Added: Subsequent ownership changes may further affect
+Added: any limitation in future years (including by way of exercising of warrants).
+Added: We are a “smaller reporting
+Added: company”
+Added: under federal securities laws and we cannot be certain whether the reduced reporting requirements applicable to such companies
+Added: will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
+Added: We are a “smaller reporting
+Added: company”
+Added: under federal securities laws.
+Added: For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of exemptions
+Added: from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding
+Added: executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.
+Added: We will remain a smaller reporting company so long as our public
+Added: float remains less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently-completed second fiscal quarter.
+Added: predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions.
+Added: If some investors find our common
+Added: stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may decline or be
+Added: more volatile.
+Added: Investors could lose confidence in
+Added: our financial reports, and the value of our common stock may be adversely affected, if our internal controls over financial reporting
+Added: are found not to be effective by management or by our independent registered public accounting firm.
+Added: As long we remain a non-accelerated filer,
+Added: we are exempt from the attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting by our independent auditors
+Added: pursuant to section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 but are required to make our own internal assessment of the effectiveness
+Added: of our internal controls over financial reporting.
+Added: The existence of one or more material weaknesses could affect the accuracy and timing
+Added: of our financial reporting.
+Added: Investors could lose confidence in our financial reports, and the value of our common stock may be harmed,
+Added: if our internal controls over financial reporting are found not to be effective by management or by our independent registered public
+Added: accounting firm.
+Added: Several people who work for us on
+Added: a part-time consulting basis may be subject to conflicts of interest.
+Added: Several people who provide
+Added: services to us are part-time consultants.
+Added: Each may devote part of his working time to other business endeavors, including consulting relationships
+Added: with other corporate entities, and may have responsibilities to these other entities.
+Added: Because of these relationships, some of the persons
+Added: who provide services to us may be subject to conflicts of interest.
+Added: Such conflicts may include deciding how much time to devote to our
+Added: affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to us.
+Added: Our business and operations would
+Added: suffer in the event of computer system failures, cyber-attacks or a deficiency in our cyber-security.
+Added: Despite the implementation
+Added: of security measures, our internal computer systems, and those of third parties on which we rely, are vulnerable to damage from computer
+Added: viruses, malware, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions (including
+Added: ransomware attacks) over the Internet, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside
+Added: our organization.
+Added: No network or system can ever be completely secure, and the risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through
+Added: cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as
+Added: the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased.
+Added: If such an event were
+Added: to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in operations, reputation, or a material disruption of our development
+Added: programs for an indeterminate period of time.
+Added: For example, the loss of clinical trial data from completed or ongoing or planned clinical
+Added: trials could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data.
+Added: In some cases, data cannot be reproduced.
+Added: To the extent that any disruption or security breach was to result in a loss of or damage to
+Added: our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur material legal claims
+Added: and liability, damage to our reputation, and the further development of our devices and drugs or any future product candidate could be
+Added: If a security breach results in the exposure or unauthorized disclosure of personal information, we could incur additional costs
+Added: associated with data breach notification and remediation expenses, investigation costs, regulatory penalties and fines, and legal proceedings.
+Added: Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all the costs related to such breaches or attacks.
+Added: Challenges to our tax positions in
+Added: jurisdictions, the interpretation and application of recent U.S.
+Added: tax legislation or other changes in U.S.
+Added: of our operations could harm our business, revenue and financial results.
+Added: We operate, or intend to operate,
+Added: in a number of tax jurisdictions, including in the United States at the federal, state and local levels, and in Australia, and we therefore
+Added: are or will be subject to review and potential audit by tax authorities in these various jurisdictions.
+Added: Significant judgment is required
+Added: in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities, and tax authorities may disagree with tax positions
+Added: we take and challenge our tax positions.
+Added: Successful unilateral or multi-jurisdictional actions by various tax authorities may increase
+Added: our worldwide effective tax rate, result in additional taxes or other costs or have other material consequences, which could harm our
+Added: business, revenue and financial results.
+Added: Our effective tax rate may
+Added: also change from year to year or vary materially from our expectations based on changes or uncertainties in the mix of activities and
+Added: income allocated or earned among various jurisdictions in the US, changes in tax laws and the applicable tax rates in these jurisdictions
+Added: (including future tax laws that may become material), tax treaties between countries, our eligibility for benefits under those tax treaties
+Added: and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
+Added: Such changes could result in an increase in the effective tax rate applicable
+Added: to all or a portion of our income, impose new limitations on deductions, credits or other tax benefits or make other changes that may
+Added: adversely affect our business, cash flows or financial performance.
+Added: For example, if we are unable to fully realize the benefit of interest
+Added: expense incurred in future periods as a result of recent tax law changes (as discussed below), we may need to recognize a valuation allowance
+Added: on any related deferred tax assets, which would impact our annual effective income tax rate.
+Added: Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Its Market
+Added: Your ownership will be diluted by
+Added: future issuances of capital stock.
+Added: Our business strategy requires
+Added: us to raise additional equity capital through the sale of common stock or preferred stock.
+Added: Your percentage of ownership will become diluted
+Added: as we issue new shares of stock.
+Added: Stockholders have no rights to buy additional shares of stock in the event we issue new shares of stock,
+Added: known as preemptive rights.
+Added: We may issue common stock, convertible debt or common stock pursuant to a public offering or a private placement,
+Added: upon exercise of warrants or options, or to sellers of properties we directly or indirectly acquire instead of, or in addition to, cash
+Added: consideration.
+Added: Investors purchasing common stock in this Offering who do not participate in any future stock issues will experience dilution
+Added: in the percentage of the issued and outstanding stock they own.
+Added: We have limited capitalization and
+Added: may require financing, which may not be available.
We have limited capitalization,
−Removed: which increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limits our flexibility in planning for and
−Removed: reacting to changes in our business and industry, and may place us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors with sufficient
−Removed: capitalization.
−Removed: If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing on satisfactory terms and conditions, we will be forced to curtail
−Removed: or abandon our plans or operations.
−Removed: Our ability to obtain financing will depend upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond
−Removed: A limited public
−Removed: trading market exists for our common stock, which makes it difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock on the public
−Removed: Any trading in our shares may have a significant effect on our stock prices.
−Removed: Although our common
−Removed: stock is listed for quotation on the OTC Markets, under the symbol “ODYY,”
−Removed: the trading activity of our common stock
−Removed: is volatile and may not develop or be sustained.
−Removed: As a result, any trading price of our common stock may not be an accurate indicator
−Removed: of the valuation of our common stock.

+Added: or operations.
+Added: Our ability to obtain financing will depend upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.
+Added: Investors may experience dilution
+Added: in the value of the shares of common stock.
+Added: We anticipate offering common
+Added: stock or preferred stock in offerings, which could cause further dilution.
+Added: If our business is unsuccessful, our
+Added: stockholders may lose their entire investment.
+Added: Although our stockholders
+Added: will not be bound by or be personally liable for our expenses, liabilities or obligations beyond their total original investments in our
+Added: common stock, if we suffer a deficiency in funds with which to satisfy our obligations, our stockholders as a whole may lose their entire
+Added: investment in our company.
+Added: The sale or issuance of our common
+Added: stock to Lincoln Park may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Lincoln Park, or the perception that such
+Added: sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
+Added: On August 14, 2020, we entered
+Added: into a Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park and, on that date, we sold 602,422 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park in an initial
+Added: purchase under the Purchase Agreement for a total purchase price of $250,000.
+Added: We also issued 793,802 shares of our common stock to Lincoln
+Added: Park as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase our common stock under the Purchase Agreement.
+Added: The remaining shares of
+Added: our common stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Lincoln Park at our discretion from time to time
+Added: over a 36-month period commencing after the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that the
+Added: SEC has declared effective the related registration statement and that such registration statement remains effective.
+Added: The purchase price
+Added: for the shares that we may sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock.
+Added: on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.
+Added: Subject to the terms
+Added: of the Purchase Agreement, we generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any future sales of our shares to Lincoln
+Added: Additional sales of our common stock, if any, to Lincoln Park will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined
+Added: We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some, or none of the additional shares of our common stock that may be available
+Added: for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
+Added: If and when we do sell shares to Lincoln Park, after Lincoln Park has acquired the
+Added: shares, Lincoln Park may resell all or some of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion.
+Added: Therefore, sales to Lincoln
+Added: Park by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock.
+Added: Additionally, the sale of a substantial
+Added: number of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell
+Added: equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
+Added: As of July 31,
+Added: 2021, Lincoln Park had purchased a total of 2,153,326 shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $0.68 per share for total
+Added: proceeds of $1,471,475.
+Added: Through October 29, 2021, we sold an additional 974,482 shares of our common stock to LPC for total proceeds

−Removed: The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
−Removed: prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document
−Removed: in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock
−Removed: The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation

−Removed: The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information,
−Removed: must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing
−Removed: before or with the customer’s confirmation.
−Removed: In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
−Removed: stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is
−Removed: a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.
−Removed: These disclosure
−Removed: requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject

−Removed: Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities
−Removed: and reduce the number of potential investors.
−Removed: We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit

−Removed: Our common stock may
−Removed: trade at a price below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by
−Removed: broker-dealers.
−Removed: These rules generally apply to any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price share of less than $5.00
−Removed: per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”).
−Removed: Such rules require the delivery, before any penny stock
−Removed: transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales
−Removed: practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or
−Removed: wealthy investors.
−Removed: For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
−Removed: and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the sale.
−Removed: The broker-dealer also must disclose
−Removed: the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, and, if the broker-dealer is

−Removed: In addition to the

−Removed: Subject to the terms
−Removed: of the Purchase Agreement, we generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any future sales of our shares to Lincoln
−Removed: Additional sales of our common stock, if any, to Lincoln Park will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be
−Removed: determined by us.
−Removed: We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some, or none of the additional shares of our common stock
−Removed: that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
−Removed: If and when we do sell shares to Lincoln Park, after Lincoln
−Removed: Park has acquired the shares, Lincoln Park may resell all or some of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion.
−Removed: Therefore, sales to Lincoln Park by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock.
−Removed: Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park, or the anticipation of such sales,
−Removed: could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we
−Removed: might otherwise wish to effect sales.
−Removed: We may require
−Removed: additional financing to sustain our operations, without which we may not be able to continue operations, and the terms of subsequent
−Removed: financings may adversely impact our stockholders.
−Removed: We may direct Lincoln
−Removed: Park to purchase up to $10,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock under our agreement over a 36-month period generally in
−Removed: amounts up to 200,000 shares of our common stock (such purchases, “Regular Purchases”), which may be increased to up
−Removed: to 100,000 shares of our common stock depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale.
−Removed: Lincoln Park’s
−Removed: committed obligation under any Regular Purchase shall not exceed $50,000 unless the median aggregate dollar value of the volume
−Removed: of shares of common stock during the 20 consecutive trading day period ending on the date of the applicable Regular Purchase equals
−Removed: or exceeds $100,000, in which case Lincoln Park’s committed obligation under such single Regular Purchase shall not exceed
−Removed: The extent to which
−Removed: we rely on Lincoln Park as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including the prevailing market price of our
−Removed: common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources.
−Removed: If obtaining sufficient funding
−Removed: from Lincoln Park were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we will need to secure another source of funding in order
−Removed: to satisfy our working capital needs.
−Removed: Even if we sell all $10,250,000 under the Purchase Agreement to Lincoln Park, we may still
−Removed: need additional capital to finance our future production plans and working capital needs, and we may have to raise funds through
−Removed: the issuance of equity or debt securities.
−Removed: Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, stockholders’
−Removed: rights and the value of their investment in our common stock could be reduced.
−Removed: A financing could involve one or more types of securities
−Removed: including common stock, convertible debt or warrants to acquire common stock.
−Removed: These securities could be issued at or below the
−Removed: then prevailing market price for our common stock.
−Removed: In addition, if we issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would
−Removed: have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of stockholders until the debt is paid.
−Removed: Interest on these debt securities
−Removed: would increase costs and negatively impact operating results.
−Removed: If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to
−Removed: holders of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted.
−Removed: Should the financing we require
−Removed: to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a
−Removed: material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
−Removed: Our management
−Removed: will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park;
−Removed: agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
−Removed: Our management will
−Removed: have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park, and we could use
−Removed: them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of the offering.
−Removed: Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of
−Removed: our management with regard to the use of those net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment
−Removed: decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately.
−Removed: It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest those
−Removed: net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.
−Removed: The failure of our management to use such funds effectively
−Removed: could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
−Removed: An active trading
−Removed: market for our common stock may not be sustained.
−Removed: Although our common
−Removed: stock is listed on the OTCQB Market, the market for our shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity.
−Removed: the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future.
−Removed: The lack of an active market for our common stock may impair investors’
−Removed: ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair
−Removed: market value of their shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may
−Removed: impair our ability to acquire additional intellectual property assets by using our shares as consideration.
−Removed: We do not anticipate
−Removed: paying dividends on our common stock and, accordingly, stockholders must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.
−Removed: We do not anticipate
−Removed: paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay
−Removed: Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends.
−Removed: intend to retain all earnings for our operations.
−Removed: The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors
−Removed: and limitations under applicable law, and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition,
−Removed: future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
−Removed: You should not rely on an investment in our company
−Removed: if you require dividend income from your investment in our company.
−Removed: The success of your investment will likely depend entirely
−Removed: upon any future appreciation of the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable.
−Removed: There is no guarantee
−Removed: that our common stock will appreciate in value.
−Removed: If we fail to
−Removed: develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or
−Removed: prevent financial fraud.
−Removed: As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
−Removed: We are subject to the
−Removed: risk that sometime in the future our independent registered public accounting firm could communicate to the board of directors
−Removed: that we have deficiencies in our internal control structure that they consider to be “significant deficiencies.”
−Removed: “significant deficiency”
−Removed: is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements
−Removed: will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal controls.
−Removed: Effective internal
−Removed: controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud.
−Removed: If we cannot provide reliable
−Removed: financial reports or prevent fraud, we could be subject to regulatory action or other litigation and our operating results could
−Removed: We are required to document and test our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the
−Removed: Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act,”
−Removed: or “SOX”), which requires our management to annually
−Removed: assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: We currently are not
−Removed: an “accelerated filer”
−Removed: as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
−Removed: of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual
−Removed: Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: That report must include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting as of the end of the fiscal year.
−Removed: This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting that we have identified.
−Removed: As of July 31, 2020, the management of the Company assessed the effectiveness
−Removed: of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on SEC guidance on conducting such assessments and on the
−Removed: criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control and Integrated Framework, issued
−Removed: by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
−Removed: Management concluded, during the
−Removed: year-ended July 31, 2020, that the Company’s internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate
−Removed: application of U.S.
−Removed: Management realized there were deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company’s internal
−Removed: control that adversely affected the Company’s internal control, which management considers to be material weaknesses.
−Removed: weakness in the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting may increase the chance of fraud and the loss of
−Removed: customers, reduce our ability to obtain financing, and require additional expenditures to comply with these requirements.
−Removed: these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
−Removed: For additional
−Removed: information, see Item 9A –
−Removed: Controls and Procedures.
−Removed: It may be time-consuming,
−Removed: difficult, and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
−Removed: We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls, and other finance personnel in order to develop and
−Removed: implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.
−Removed: If we are unable to comply with the internal control requirements
−Removed: of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by such act, which
−Removed: may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current.
−Removed: If we are unable to
−Removed: maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as those standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we
−Removed: may not be able to ensure that we may conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting
−Removed: in accordance with Section 404.
−Removed: Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face
−Removed: regulatory action and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could adversely
−Removed: affect the value of our common stock.
−Removed: Our certificate
−Removed: of incorporation allows our board to create new series of preferred stock without approval by our stockholders, which could adversely
−Removed: affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.
−Removed: Our board of directors
−Removed: has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock.
−Removed: Our board of directors also has
−Removed: the authority to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval.
−Removed: As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance
−Removed: of a series of preferred stock granting holders a preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend
−Removed: payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock, and the right to redemption of the shares, together with
−Removed: a premium prior to the redemption of our common stock.
−Removed: In addition, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series
−Removed: of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could
−Removed: decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
−Removed: Our financial
−Removed: and operating performance is adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
−Removed: The recent outbreak
−Removed: of a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S.
−Removed: has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations.
−Removed: Mandatory closures
−Removed: of businesses imposed by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus is disrupting the operations
−Removed: of our management, business and finance teams.
−Removed: In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S.
−Removed: economy and financial
−Removed: markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance.
−Removed: The extent to
−Removed: which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments which are highly
−Removed: uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of the filing of this Form 10-K, but is expected to result in a material adverse
−Removed: impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
+Added: As a result of this concentrated ownership of our common stock, our nine stockholders
+Added: may be able to exert significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval
+Added: of mergers and other significant corporate transactions.
+Added: This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or
+Added: deterring a change in control of our company.
+Added: It also could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their
+Added: shares as part of a sale of our company, and it may affect the market price of our common stock.
+Added: The reverse split of our common stock
+Added: could decrease our total market capitalization and increase, and may continue to increase, the volatility of our stock price.
+Added: At our 2021 annual stockholder
+Added: meeting, which was held on September 14, 2021, the stockholders approved the proposal that granted the Board discretionary authority to
+Added: amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, par value
+Added: $0.001 per share, such split to combine a whole number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock in a range of not less than two shares
+Added: and not more than 30 shares, into one share of Common Stock at any time prior to January 31, 2022.
+Added: The amendments will not change the
+Added: number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or the relative voting power of our stockholders.
+Added: There can be no assurance
+Added: that the total market capitalization of our common stock after the reverse stock split will be equal to or greater than the total market
+Added: capitalization before the reverse stock split or that the per share market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split
+Added: will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split.
+Added: a decline in the market price of our common stock after the reverse stock split may result in a greater percentage decline than would
+Added: occur in the absence of a reverse stock split, and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected following such a reverse
+Added: The reverse stock split could increase
+Added: our authorized but unissued shares of common stock, which could negatively impact a potential investor.
+Added: Because the number of authorized
+Added: shares of our common stock will not be reduced proportionately, the reverse stock split could increase the Board’s ability to issue
+Added: authorized and unissued shares without further stockholder action.
+Added: The issuance of additional shares of common stock or securities convertible
+Added: into common stock may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and relative voting power and may cause a decline in the trading price
+Added: of the common stock.
+Added: We could use the shares that are available for future issuance in dilutive equity financing transactions, or to oppose
+Added: a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that
+Added: are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current
+Added: market prices or benefit in some other manner.
+Added: A decline in the price of our common
+Added: stock could affect our ability to raise any required working capital and adversely affect our operations.
+Added: A decline in the price of
+Added: our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise any required
+Added: capital for our operations.
+Added: Because our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline
+Added: in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued operations.
+Added: A reduction in our ability
+Added: to raise equity capital in the future may have a material adverse effect upon our business plans and operations.
+Added: If our stock price declines,
+Added: we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
+Added: Trading of our common stock could
+Added: be sporadic, and the price of our common stock may be volatile;
+Added: we caution you as to the highly illiquid nature of an investment in our
+Added: Our common stock is listed
+Added: on the OTC PINK.
+Added: Securities of microcap and small-cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based
+Added: on factors unrelated to the companies’
+Added: financial performance or prospects.
+Added: We believe that trading in our stock has been and will
+Added: likely continue to be subject to significant volatility.
+Added: These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally
+Added: and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries.
+Added: Factors unrelated to our performance that may affect the price
+Added: of our common stock include the following:
+Added: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning our business may be limited
+Added: if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow us, a reduction in trading volume and general market interest in our common
+Added: stock may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of shares of our common stock;
+Added: the size of our public float
+Added: may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in our common stock.
+Added: As a result of any of these factors, the market price of our
+Added: common stock at any given point in time may not accurately reflect our long-term value.
+Added: The price of our common shares may increase or
+Added: decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including:
+Added: changes in financial estimates;
+Added: our acquisitions and financings;
+Added: variations in our operating results;
+Added: the operating and share price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable;
+Added: and purchase or sale of blocks of our common stock.
+Added: These factors, or any of them, may materially adversely affect the prices of our common
+Added: shares regardless of our operating performance.
+Added: The market price of our common
+Added: stock is affected by many other variables which are not directly related to our success and are, therefore, not within our control.
+Added: include other developments that affect the breadth of the public market for shares of our common stock and the attractiveness of alternative
+Added: The effect of these and other factors on the market price of our common stock is expected to make our common stock price
+Added: volatile in the future, which may result in losses to investors.
+Added: We have not paid any dividends and
+Added: do not foresee paying dividends in the future.
+Added: We intend to retain earnings,
+Added: if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and do not intend to pay cash dividends on shares of our common stock in
+Added: the foreseeable future.
+Added: The payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be reviewed periodically by the board of directors and will
+Added: depend upon, among other things, conditions then existing including earnings, financial condition and capital requirements, restrictions
+Added: in financing agreements, business opportunities and other factors.
+Added: If securities or industry analysts
+Added: do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding
+Added: our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
+Added: The trading market for our
+Added: common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our
+Added: market or our competitors.
+Added: If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide
+Added: more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline.
+Added: If any analyst who may cover us were
+Added: to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which
+Added: in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
+Added: The United States Tax Cuts and Jobs
+Added: Act of 2017 could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
+Added: Tax Cuts and Jobs
+Added: Act, or the TCJA, significantly reforms the Code.
+Added: The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to U.S.
+Added: federal corporate
+Added: income taxation, including reduction of the U.S.
+Added: federal corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%,
+Added: limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted earnings (except for certain small businesses), limitation of
+Added: the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks for net
+Added: operating losses arising after December 31, 2017, immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation
+Added: expense over time, and creating, modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits.
+Added: Federal net operating losses arising in
+Added: taxable year ending after December 31, 2017, will be carried forward indefinitely pursuant to the TCJA.
+Added: We continue to examine the
+Added: impact this tax reform legislation may have on our business.
+Added: Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall
+Added: impact of the TCJA is uncertain and our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
+Added: The impact of this tax reform on
+Added: holders of our common stock is also uncertain and could be adverse.
