QUANTUM X LABS INC. 10-Q

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Our business faces many risks, a number of which are described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report. The risks described in our Annual Report and below may not be the only risks we face. Other risks of which we are not yet aware, or that we currently believe are not material, may also materially and adversely impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the risk factors contained in our Annual Report or described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted and the value of an investment in our securities could decline. Investors and prospective investors should consider the risks described in our Annual Report and below, and the information contained under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before deciding whether to invest in our securities. We may not be able to retain and attract programmatic advertisers, and the associated payments received from such programmatic advertisers’ ads on websites which have been categorized as “Made for Advertising” may be adversely affected. Certain recent developments relating to publishers that are categorized by a number of programmatic advertisers as “Made for Advertising” (MFA) sites, including decisions made by leading media programmatic advertisers to prioritize different media categories and implement publishing restrictions in connection with MFA, have negatively impacted Cortex’s business and operations. In connection with the foregoing, a significant customer of Cortex has decided to stop advertising on Cortex’s sites. Additional advertising customers of Cortex may opt to stop advertising on Cortex’s sites, which will impact Cortex’s, and as a result thereof, the Company’s current and future revenue streams and results of operations. The foregoing issues could lead to decreased advertiser interest in Cortex’s sites, potentially resulting in lower bids for ad space, and as a result thereof, lower revenues from Cortex’s business, and decrease in the Company’s results of operation. We may not be able to receive credit facility to fund our operations, on favorable terms, or at all. We generally finance our operations primarily through a combination of cash flow generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities, loans, and through credit with our vendors. Our ability to access capital through our existing credit facilities and raise additional capital by expanding our credit facilities on economically favorable terms (including available borrowing line and the rate of interest charged thereunder) or at all, or if we are in violation of our financial covenants in the future and do not receive a waiver, depends on our ability to stay in compliance with the Program. The Program poses certain limitations, as explained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report,. In addition, and as a result of the decrease in the Company’s revenues, our financial performance has been negatively impacted, which may affect the terms on which we are able to obtain credit facilities and loans. If adequate capital is not available at the time we need it, we may have to curtail future growth or change our expansion plans, which could have a material adverse effect on us. If borrowing under our existing credit facilities is reduced, or otherwise becomes unavailable, or we are unable to arrange substitute financing facilities or other sources of capital, our ability to fund our operations would be impaired, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We may be unable to pay our obligations when they become due, including under the Program. We have financed our acquisitions principally through the raising of debt, credit facilities, and our operations through credit with our vendors. Our ability to continue our operations and to pay our obligations, including under the Program (as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), when they become due is contingent upon obtaining additional financing. - 31 - In addition, during August, 2024, we will be required to renegotiate the terms of the Program, which may result in the credit facilities being restricted, which may cause a delinquency in payments. As a result of such delays, the Company’s Gix Media’s and Cortex’s operations and revenues could be impaired. If during August 2024, the bank does not continue its approval of the Program, or if the Company, Cortex and Gix Media cannot maintain compliance with the terms and covenant of the Program, or if we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned operations, and/or consider reductions in personnel costs or other operating costs, in addition to the measures currently contemplated pursuant to the Program.
