Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, investors should carefully consider our risk factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or operating results. Except as set forth below, as of the date of this report, there are no material changes or updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Compa ny's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 .
The impact of potential regulations to prohibit the sale of cigarettes in the United States other than low-nicotine cigarettes, if they are adopted and become effective, is uncertain, but they could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In June 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") announced its plan to publish a proposed rule in 2023 that would prohibit the sale of cigarettes in the United States other than cigarettes having significantly reduced levels of nicotine. The definitive provisions of such a proposed rule have not yet been announced and any rule proposal is subject to public comment prior to being adopted by the FDA. Accordingly, the terms of any such final rule are uncertain and the date of effectiveness of such a rule is also uncertain. While the FDA announced that reducing the nicotine levels of cigarettes would reduce consumption of cigarettes by future generations and facilitate current smokers to stop consuming cigarettes, it is uncertain whether such potential regulations, if they are adopted and become effective, will have such effect. While the impact of such potential regulations on the Company is also uncertain, such regulations, if they are adopted and become effective, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
