+Added: We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products and businesses
+Added: as a primary component of our growth strategy to enhance the features and functionality of our applications, expand our customer base

+Added: Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the

+Added: aspects of our business processes include open-source software, which poses risks that could have a material and adverse effect on our
+Added: business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: In addition, any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source
+Added: licenses could negatively affect our business.
+Added: incorporate open-source software into processes supporting our business and anticipate using open- source software in the future.
+Added: open-source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License.
+Added: various open-source licenses to which we are subject have not been interpreted by U.S.
+Added: courts, and there is a risk that such licenses
+Added: could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to operate our systems, limits our
+Added: use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of our systems and negatively affects our business operations.
+Added: open-source licenses contain requirements that we make source code modifications or derivative works we create publicly available or
+Added: make such modifications or derivative works available on unfavorable terms or at no cost, depending on the type of open-source software
+Added: we monitor our use of open-source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary
+Added: source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open-source license, such use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed
+Added: to have occurred, in part because open-source license terms are often ambiguous.
+Added: We may face claims from third parties claiming ownership
+Added: of, or demanding the release or license of, modifications or derivative works that we have developed using such open-source software
+Added: (which could include our proprietary source code or artificial intelligence (“AI”) models), or otherwise seeking to enforce
+Added: the terms of the applicable open-source license.
+Added: These claims could result in litigation and if portions of our proprietary AI models
+Added: or software are determined to be subject to an open-source license, or if the license terms for the open-source software that we incorporate
+Added: change, we could be required to publicly release all or affected portions of our source code, purchase a costly license, cease offering
+Added: the implicated products or services unless and until we can re-engineer such source code in a manner that avoids infringement, discontinue
+Added: or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or change our business activities,
+Added: any of which could negatively affect our business operations and potentially our intellectual property rights.
+Added: In addition, the re-engineering
+Added: process could require us to expend significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to complete the
+Added: re-engineering process successfully.
+Added: If we were required to publicly disclose any portion of our proprietary models, it is possible we
+Added: could lose the benefit of trade secret protection for our models.
+Added: addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of certain open-source software can lead to greater risks than the use of
+Added: third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, controls or
+Added: other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the origin of the software.
+Added: There is little legal precedent
+Added: in this area, and any actual or claimed requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could
+Added: harm our business and could help third parties, including our competitors, develop products and services that are similar to or better
+Added: Use of open-source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may
+Added: make it easier for hackers and other third parties to determine how to breach our website and systems that rely on open-source software.
+Added: Any of these risks associated with the use of open-source software could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and if not addressed, could
+Added: materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: defects, failures or disruptions, including events beyond our control, and resulting interruptions in the availability of our websites,
+Added: applications, products, or services could harm our business, harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us, decrease our potential
+Added: profitability and expose us to substantial liability.
+Added: use vendors, such as our cloud computing web services provider and third-party software providers, in the operation of our platform.
+Added: The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology and our underlying network and infrastructure are critical
+Added: to our operations and reputation and the ability of our platform to attract new and retain existing customers.
+Added: We rely on these vendors
+Added: to protect their systems and facilities against damage or service interruptions from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures,
+Added: air quality issues, environmental conditions, computer viruses or attempts to harm these systems, criminal acts, unauthorized access,
+Added: sabotage, acts of vandalism, military actions, negligence, human errors, fraud, spikes in platform use and denial of service issues,
+Added: hardware failures, improper operation, cyberattacks, data loss, wars and similar events.
+Added: If our arrangement with a vendor is terminated
+Added: or if there is a lapse of service or damage to its systems or facilities, we could experience interruptions in our ability to operate
+Added: our platform.
+Added: We also may experience increased costs and difficulties in replacing that vendor and replacement services may not be available
+Added: on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
+Added: addition, our platform may be accessed by many users at the same time.
+Added: As we continue to expand the number of our users, and products
+Added: and services available through our platform, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate the increased capacity requirements.
+Added: The failure of data centers, internet service providers or other third- party service providers to meet our capacity requirements could
+Added: result in interruptions or delays in access to our platform or impede our ability to grow our business and scale our operations.
+Added: interruptions or delays in our platform availability, whether as a result of a failure to perform on the part of a vendor, any damage
+Added: to one of our vendor’s systems or facilities, the termination of any of our third-party vendor agreements, software failures, our
+Added: or our vendor’s error, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, security breaches, whether accidental or willful,
+Added: or other factors, could harm our relationships with our customers, prevent our customers from accessing their accounts, damage our reputation
+Added: with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, cause us to lose customers, cause the loss of critical data, prevent us
+Added: from supporting our platform, products or services or cause us to incur additional expense in arranging for new facilities and support
+Added: or otherwise harm our business and also harm our reputation.
+Added: In addition, we source certain
+Added: information from third parties.
+Added: In the event that any third party from which we source information experiences a service disruption, whether
+Added: as a result of maintenance, natural disasters, terrorism, or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, the ability
+Added: to access our platform may be adversely impacted.
+Added: Additionally, there may be errors contained in the information provided by third parties.
+Added: This may result in the inability to approve otherwise qualified applicants through our platform, which may adversely impact our business
+Added: by negatively impacting our reputation and reducing our transaction volume.
+Added: the extent we use or are dependent on any particular third-party data, technology, or software, we may also be harmed if such data, technology,
+Added: or software becomes non-compliant with existing regulations or industry standards, becomes subject to third-party claims of intellectual
+Added: property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or malfunctions or functions in a way we did not anticipate.
+Added: the right to use any of this data, technology, or software could result in delays in the provisioning of our products and services until
+Added: equivalent or replacement data, technology, or software is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated,
+Added: and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in developing, identifying, obtaining, or integrating equivalent or similar data,
+Added: technology, or software, which could result in the loss or limiting of our products, services, or features available in our products
+Added: ability to sell our products and services will be dependent on the quality of our technical support and our failure to deliver high-quality
+Added: technical support services could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
+Added: we do not effectively assist our users in deploying our products and services, succeed in helping our users quickly resolve post-deployment
+Added: issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if potential customers perceive that we may not be able to achieve the foregoing, our
+Added: ability to sell our products and services would be adversely affected, and our reputation with potential users could be harmed.
+Added: if we expand our operations internationally, our technical support team will face additional challenges, including those associated with
+Added: delivering support, training and documentation in languages other than the English language.
+Added: As a result, our failure to deliver and
+Added: maintain high-quality technical support services to our users could result in customers choosing to use our competitors’ products
+Added: or services in the future.
+Added: Gameface products and services may fail to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards.
+Added: market in which Gameface operates is characterized by rapid, and sometimes disruptive, technological developments, evolving industry
+Added: standards, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and changes in user requirements.
+Added: In addition, both traditional and new
+Added: competitors are investing heavily in our market areas and competing for users.
+Added: As next-generation video analytics technology continues
+Added: to evolve, we must keep pace in order to maintain or expand our market position.
+Added: If we are not able to successfully add staff resources
+Added: with sufficient technical skills to develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, achieve market acceptance of our products
+Added: and services or identify new market opportunities for our products and services, our business and results of operations may be materially
+Added: and adversely affected.
+Added: business-to-business e-commerce industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.
+Added: market for business-to-business (“B2B”) e-commerce solutions is rapidly changing and intensely competitive.
+Added: We expect competition
+Added: to intensify as the number of entrants and new technologies increases.
+Added: We may not be able to compete successfully against current or
+Added: future competitors.
+Added: The competitive pressures facing us may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
+Added: rely on third parties to develop cognitive engines for our platform and in some cases to integrate them with the PlaySight platform.
+Added: key element of the PlaySight platform is the ability to incorporate and integrate cognitive engines developed by multiple third-party
+Added: vendors, and we plan to continue to increase the number of third-party cognitive engines incorporated into our platform in order to enhance
+Added: the performance and power of our platform.
+Added: As we become increasingly dependent on third-party developers for new cognitive engines, we
+Added: may encounter difficulties in identifying additional high-quality cognitive engines, entering into agreements for their inclusion in
+Added: our ecosystem on acceptable terms or at all and/or in coordinating and integrating their technologies into our system.
+Added: We may incur additional
+Added: costs to modify and adjust existing functionalities of our platform to accommodate multiple classes of third-party cognitive engines,
+Added: without the assurance that such costs can be recouped by the additional revenues generated by the new capabilities.
+Added: As our platform becomes
+Added: more complex due to the inclusion of various third-party cognitive engines, we may not be able to integrate them in a seamless or timely
+Added: manner due to a number of factors, including incompatible software applications, lack of cooperation from developers, insufficient internal
+Added: technical resources, and the inability to secure the necessary licenses or legal authorizations required.
+Added: In addition, we currently use
+Added: third-party providers to integrate such third-party cognitive engines onto our platform.
+Added: In the future, we may require such third-party
+Added: developers to integrate their engines onto our platform, and we will be dependent in part upon their ability to do so effectively and
+Added: We may not have full control over the quality and performance of third-party providers, and therefore, any unexpected deficiencies
+Added: or problems arising from these third-party providers may cause significant interruptions of our platform.
+Added: The failure of third-party
+Added: developers to integrate their cognitive engines seamlessly into our platform and/or provide reliable, scalable services may impact the
+Added: reliability of our platform and harm our reputation and business, results of operations and financial conditions.
+Added: we are not able to enhance or introduce new products that achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological developments, our
+Added: business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
+Added: ability to attract new users and increase revenue from existing customers depends in part on our ability to enhance and improve our platforms,
+Added: increase adoption and usage of our products and introduce new products and features.
+Added: The success of any enhancements or new products
+Added: depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market-accepted pricing
+Added: levels and overall market acceptance and demand.
+Added: Enhancements and new products that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective
+Added: manner, may contain defects, may have interoperability difficulties with our platform, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary
+Added: to generate significant revenue.
+Added: If we are unable to successfully enhance our existing platform and capabilities to meet evolving customer
+Added: requirements, increase adoption and usage of our platform, develop new products, or if our efforts to increase the usage of our products
+Added: are more expensive than we expect, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
+Added: may experience difficulty in integrating Playsight, Gameface, or Foundation Sports with third-party applications, which would inhibit
+Added: PlaySight, Gameface, and Foundation Sports may serve a customer base with
+Added: a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, operating system software, packaged software applications and networking platforms.
+Added: PlaySight, Gameface, or Foundation Sports fails to gain broad market acceptance due to their inability to support a variety of these platforms,
+Added: our operating results may suffer.
+Added: Our business depends, in part, on the following factors:
+Added: ability to integrate PlaySight, Gameface, or Foundation Sports with multiple platforms and existing
+Added: systems and to modify our product as new versions of packaged applications are introduced;
+Added: to application program interfaces for the third-party software products that are integrated with our products;
+Added: to anticipate and support new standards;
+Added: Our management
+Added: of software being developed by third parties for our customers or for use with Foundation Sports.
+Added: program interfaces provide the instructions that are required to transfer information into and out of an application and trigger the
+Added: specific characteristics of that application.
+Added: These instructions are needed to create adapters between PlaySight, Gameface, Foundation
+Added: Sports and third-party software products, but access to application program interfaces is controlled by the vendors of these applications.
+Added: If the application vendor denies or delays our access to application program interfaces, our business may be harmed.
+Added: Some application
+Added: vendors may become competitors or establish alliances with our competitors, increasing the likelihood that we would not be granted access
+Added: to their application program interfaces.
+Added: Furthermore, we may need to modify PlaySight, Gameface, and Foundation Sports or develop new
+Added: adapters in the future as new applications or newer versions of existing applications are introduced.
+Added: If we fail to continue to develop
+Added: adapters or respond to new applications or newer versions of existing applications in a timely manner, our business could suffer.
+Added: betting and online gaming customers and partners are subject to a variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations, which are subject
+Added: to change and interpretation and which could subject them to claims or otherwise harm our customers’ businesses.
+Added: Any change in
+Added: existing regulations or their interpretation, or the regulatory climate and requirements applicable to our or our customers’ and
+Added: suppliers’ products and services, or changes in tax rules and regulations or interpretation thereof related to our or our customers’
+Added: and suppliers’ products and services, could adversely impact our or our customers’ and suppliers’ ability to operate
+Added: our or their respective businesses as currently conducted or as we seek to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse
+Added: effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: of our customers and partners are generally subject to laws and regulations relating to sports, sports betting, online gaming, marketing
+Added: and advertising in the jurisdictions in which they conduct their businesses or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which
+Added: we and they offer services or those are available, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all e-commerce and online
+Added: businesses, such as those related to privacy and personal information, tax, anti-money laundering, anti-bribery, advertising, competition,
+Added: inside information and disclosures, and consumer protection.
+Added: These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future
+Added: legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political
+Added: pressures, and changes in legislative or governmental priorities, may have a material impact on our operations and financial results.
+Added: In particular, some jurisdictions have introduced regulations attempting to restrict or prohibit sports betting, online gaming and advertising,
+Added: while others have taken the position that sports betting or online gaming should be licensed and regulated and have adopted or are in
+Added: the process of considering legislation and regulations to enable sports betting or online gaming in their jurisdictions.
+Added: In some jurisdictions,
+Added: additional requirements and restrictions may continue to develop.
+Added: For example, recently, the Committees of Advertising Practice in the
+Added: recommended new rules which ban sports betting advertisements if they are likely to appeal to minors, which evidences a trend in
+Added: Europe for an increasingly restrictive approach to gambling advertising more generally.
+Added: Additionally, some jurisdictions in which our
+Added: customers may operate could presently be unregulated or partially regulated and therefore more susceptible to the enactment or change
+Added: of laws and regulations.
+Added: Some jurisdictions do not have laws that grant our customers rights in the data they collect.
+Added: Any enactment
+Added: of laws in these jurisdictions would require a change in how they conduct business in such jurisdictions.
+Added: However, our customers offer
+Added: their services to customers in many more countries, but do not always have visibility of where their customers use their products and
+Added: services to offer their services to their customers.
+Added: Any of their licenses could be revoked, suspended or conditioned at any time.
+Added: license applications may also be denied or conditioned.
+Added: The loss of a license in one jurisdiction could trigger the loss of a license
+Added: or affect our eligibility for such a license in another jurisdiction, and any of such losses, or potential for such loss, could cause
+Added: us to cease offering some or all of their offerings in the impacted jurisdictions.
+Added: As laws and regulations change, they may need to obtain
+Added: and maintain licenses or registrations in additional jurisdictions.
+Added: In addition, once licensed, they may be subject to various ongoing
+Added: requirements, including supervision by the respective governmental agency of certain transfers of ownership and acquisitions.
+Added: 2018, the U.S.
+Added: Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (“PASPA”) as unconstitutional.
+Added: This decision has the effect of lifting federal restrictions on sports betting and thus allows states to determine by themselves the
+Added: legality of sports betting.
+Added: Since the repeal of PASPA, several states have legalized online sports betting.
+Added: To the extent new real money
+Added: gaming or sports betting jurisdictions are established or expanded, we cannot guarantee that our customers will be successful in penetrating
+Added: such new jurisdictions or expanding our business or customer base in line with the growth of existing jurisdictions.
+Added: If our customers
+Added: are unable to effectively develop and operate directly or indirectly within these new jurisdictions or if our customers’ competitors
+Added: are able to successfully penetrate geographic jurisdictions that they cannot access or where they face other restrictions, there could
+Added: be a material adverse effect on our customers’ and, in turn, our business, operating results and financial condition.
+Added: Our customers’
+Added: failure to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals and licenses in jurisdictions, whether individually or collectively,
+Added: could have a material adverse effect on our and their business.
+Added: expand into new jurisdictions, our customers may need to be licensed and obtain approvals of their product offerings.
+Added: This is a time-consuming
+Added: process that can be extremely costly.
+Added: Any delays in obtaining or difficulty in maintaining regulatory approvals or licenses needed for
+Added: expansion within existing jurisdictions or into new jurisdictions can negatively affect our and our customers’ opportunities for
+Added: growth, including the growth of our and our customers’ customer base, or delay our or their ability to recognize revenue from our
+Added: offerings in any such jurisdictions.
+Added: Future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may
+Added: have a material impact on our and our customers’ operations and financial results.
+Added: Governmental authorities could view us or our
+Added: customers as having violated applicable laws or regulations, despite their efforts to obtain and maintain all applicable licenses or
+Added: There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or
+Added: public entities or incumbent providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against us our customers, Internet service providers,
+Added: credit card and other payment processors, advertisers and others involved in sports betting and online gaming industries.
+Added: Such potential
+Added: proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets, injunctions or other restrictions being
+Added: imposed upon us or our customers or other business partners, while diverting the attention of key executives.
+Added: Such proceedings could
+Added: have a material adverse effect on our and our customers’ businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects,
+Added: as well as impact our and our customers’ reputation.
+Added: There can be no assurance that legally enforceable legislation will not be
+Added: proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially relevant to our business to prohibit, legislate or regulate various aspects
+Added: of sports betting and online gaming industries (or that existing laws in those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively).
+Added: with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our and our customers’ businesses, financial condition and results
+Added: of operations, either as a result of our determination that a jurisdiction should be blocked, or because a local license or approval
+Added: may be costly for us or our customers to obtain and/or such licenses or approvals may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.
+Added: Related to the Company’s Legal and Regulatory Requirements
+Added: to adequately protect our intellectual property and curb the sale of counterfeit merchandise could injure our brand and negatively affect
+Added: trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position.
+Added: We devote significant resources to the registration and protection of our trademarks and patents.
+Added: In spite of our efforts, counterfeiting
+Added: and design copies may still occur.
+Added: If we are unsuccessful in challenging the usurpation of these rights by third parties, this could
+Added: adversely affect our future sales, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights
+Added: can potentially be met with defenses and counterclaims attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights.
+Added: Unplanned increases in legal fees and other costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights could result in higher
+Added: operating expenses.
+Added: Additionally, legal regimes outside the U.S., particularly those in Asia, including China, may not always protect
+Added: intellectual property rights to the same degree as U.S.
+Added: laws, or the time required to enforce our intellectual property rights under
+Added: these legal regimes may be lengthy and delay our recovery.
+Added: may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result
+Added: in litigation and adversely affect our business.
+Added: significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees, or outside consultants in the course of their employment
+Added: or retention with us.
+Added: Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee during the scope
+Added: of his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions.” The Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee,
+Added: or the Committee, a body constituted under the Patent Law, has previously held, in certain cases, that employees may be entitled to remuneration
+Added: for service inventions that they develop during their service for a company despite their explicit waiver of such right.
+Added: Therefore, we
+Added: may face claims by employees demanding remuneration beyond their regular salary and benefits.
+Added: may be subject to product liability lawsuits or claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to
+Added: successfully defend or insure against such claims.
+Added: may be subject to product liability lawsuits and claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could harm our business, prospects, results
+Added: of operations and financial condition.
+Added: We may face lawsuits or claims if our products do not perform as expected, malfunction or are
+Added: used without complying with their specifications.
+Added: Moreover, a product liability lawsuit or claim, regardless of merit, could generate
+Added: negative publicity about our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, prospects, results of operations
+Added: and financial condition.
+Added: Any lawsuit or claim seeking monetary damages significantly exceeding our coverage or outside of our coverage
+Added: may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
+Added: we provide products and services related to sports betting, our business may become subject to a variety of U.S.
+Added: and foreign laws, many
+Added: of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.
+Added: Any adverse change in
+Added: regulations or their interpretation, or the regulatory climate applicable to these contemplated products and services, or changes in
+Added: tax rules and regulations or interpretation thereof related to these contemplated products and services, could adversely impact our ability
+Added: to operate our business as we seek to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
+Added: results of operations.
+Added: business could potentially expand into sports betting, in which case our business partners are generally subject to laws and
+Added: regulations in the jurisdictions in which we will conduct our business or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which we
+Added: offer our services or those are available, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all e-commerce businesses, such
+Added: as those related to privacy and personal information, tax and consumer protection.
+Added: These laws and regulations vary from one
+Added: jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be
+Added: affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may at such time have a
+Added: material impact on our operations and financial results, or may prevent our business partners from expanding into such businesses
+Added: entirely and thus, may have impact on our business.
+Added: In addition, some jurisdictions in which we may operate could presently be
+Added: unregulated or partially regulated and therefore more susceptible to the enactment or change of laws and regulations.
+Added: a result of the foregoing, future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may have a material
+Added: impact on our business partners’ business and operations, and that may also have an impact on our operations and financial results.
+Added: Governmental authorities could view us as having violated local laws, despite efforts to obtain all applicable licenses or approvals.
+Added: There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or public entities
+Added: or incumbent monopoly providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against our business partners, us, and others involved in
+Added: the sports betting industry.
+Added: Such potential proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets,
+Added: injunctions or other restrictions being imposed upon us or our business partners.
+Added: Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect
+Added: on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as impact our reputation.
+Added: there can be no assurance that legally enforceable legislation will not be proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially
+Added: relevant to our business to prohibit, legislate or regulate various aspects of the sports betting industry (or that existing laws in
+Added: those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively).
+Added: Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our
+Added: business, financial condition and results of operations, either as a result of our determination not to offer products or services in
+Added: a jurisdiction or to cease doing so, or because a local license or approval may be costly for us or our business partners to obtain and/or
+Added: such licenses or approvals may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.
+Added: in our tax obligations and effective tax rate may have a negative effect on our operating results.
+Added: may be subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions.
+Added: We record tax expense based on our estimates of future payments, which include
+Added: reserves for uncertain tax provisions in multiple tax jurisdictions.
+Added: At any one time, many tax years may be subject to audit by various
+Added: taxing jurisdictions.
+Added: The results of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these
+Added: As a result, we expect that throughout the year there could be ongoing variability in our quarterly tax rates as events occur
+Added: and exposures are evaluated.
+Added: Further, our effective tax rate in a given financial period may be materially impacted by changes in mix
+Added: and level of earnings or by changes to existing accounting rules or regulations.
+Added: In addition, tax legislation enacted in the future could
+Added: negatively impact our current or future tax structure and effective tax rates.
+Added: do not have covenants not to compete in place with our key employees.
+Added: generally do not enter into non-competition agreements as part of our employment agreements with our employees and it may be difficult
+Added: for us to restrict our competitors from benefitting from the expertise our former employees or consultants developed while working for
+Added: could be subject to changes in tax rates, adoption of new tax laws, additional tax liabilities or increased volatility in our effective
+Added: are subject to the tax laws in the U.S.
+Added: and numerous foreign jurisdictions.
+Added: Current economic and political conditions make tax laws and
+Added: regulations, or their interpretation and application, in any jurisdiction subject to significant change.
+Added: On December 22, 2017, the U.S.
+Added: enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which includes a number of significant changes to previous U.S.
+Added: that impact us, including provisions for a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings, and a reduction
+Added: in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, among other changes.
+Added: The Tax Act also transitions
+Added: international taxation from a worldwide system to a modified territorial system and includes base erosion prevention measures on
+Added: earnings, which has the effect of subjecting certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S.
+Added: earn a substantial portion of our income in foreign countries and are subject to the tax laws of those jurisdictions.
+Added: There have been
+Added: proposals to reform foreign tax laws that could significantly impact how U.S.
+Added: multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings.
+Added: Although we cannot predict whether or in what form these proposals will pass, several of the proposals considered, if enacted into law,
+Added: could have an adverse impact on our income tax expense and cash flows.
+Added: of our operations are subject to a reduced tax rate or are free of tax under various tax holidays and rulings.
+Added: We also utilize tax rulings
+Added: and other agreements to obtain certainty in treatment of certain tax matters.
+Added: These holidays and rulings expire in whole or in part from
+Added: time to time and may be extended when certain conditions are met or terminated if certain conditions are not met.
+Added: The impact of any changes
+Added: in conditions would be the loss of certainty in treatment thus potentially impacting our effective income tax rate.
+Added: may also be subject to the examination of our tax returns by the U.S.
+Added: Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities.
+Added: We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision
+Added: for income taxes.
+Added: Although we believe our tax provisions are adequate, the final determination of tax audits and any related disputes
+Added: could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals.
+Added: The results of audits or related disputes could
+Added: have an adverse effect on our financial statements for the period or periods for which the applicable final determinations are made.
+Added: For example, we and our subsidiaries are also engaged in a number of intercompany transactions across multiple tax jurisdictions.
+Added: we believe we have clearly reflected the economics of these transactions and the proper local transfer pricing documentation is in place,
+Added: tax authorities may propose and sustain adjustments that could result in changes that may impact our mix of earnings in countries with
+Added: differing statutory tax rates.
+Added: the extent we may rely on endorsements or testimonials, we will review any relevant relationships for compliance with the Endorsement
+Added: Guides and we will otherwise endeavor to follow the FTC Act and other legal standards applicable to our advertising .
+Added: FTC regulates the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising as well as relationships between advertisers and social media influencers
+Added: pursuant to principles described in the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, or the
+Added: Endorsement Guides.
+Added: The Endorsement Guides provide that an endorsement must reflect the honest opinion of the endorser and cannot be
+Added: used to make a claim about a product that the product’s marketer couldn’t itself legally make.
+Added: They also say that if there
+Added: is a connection between an endorser and the marketer that consumers would not expect and it would affect how consumers evaluate the endorsement,
+Added: that connection should be disclosed.
+Added: Another principle in the Endorsement Guides applies to ads that feature endorsements from people
+Added: who achieved exceptional, or even above average, results from using a product.
+Added: If the advertiser doesn’t have proof that the endorser’s
+Added: experience represents what people will generally achieve using the product as described in the ad, then an ad featuring that endorser
+Added: must make clear to the audience what results they can generally expect to achieve and the advertiser must have a reasonable basis for
+Added: its representations regarding those generally expected results.
+Added: Although the Endorsement Guides are advisory in nature and do not operate
+Added: directly with the force of law, they provide guidance about what the FTC staff generally believes the Federal Trade Commission Act, or
+Added: FTC Act, requires in the context using of endorsements and testimonials in advertising and any practices inconsistent with the Endorsement
+Added: Guides can result in violations of the FTC Act’s proscription against unfair and deceptive practices.
+Added: the extent we may rely on endorsements or testimonials, we will review any relevant relationships for compliance with the Endorsement
+Added: Guides and we will otherwise endeavor to follow the FTC Act and other legal standards applicable to our advertising.
+Added: However, if our
+Added: advertising claims or claims made by our social media influencers or by other endorsers with whom we have a material connection do not
+Added: comply with the Endorsement Guides or any requirement of the FTC Act or similar state requirements, the FTC and state consumer protection
+Added: authorities could subject us to investigations and enforcement actions, impose penalties, require us to pay monetary consumer redress,
+Added: require us to revise our marketing materials and require us to accept burdensome injunctions, all of which could harm our business, reputation,
+Added: financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: of our contractors or our licensees’ contractors to comply with local laws and other standards could harm our business.
+Added: work with contractors outside of the U.S.
+Added: to manufacture our products.
+Added: We require the contractors that directly manufacture our products
+Added: and our licensees that make products using our intellectual property (including, indirectly, their contract manufacturers) to comply
+Added: with environmental, health and safety standards for the benefit of workers.
+Added: We also require these contractors to comply with applicable
+Added: standards for product safety.
+Added: Notwithstanding their contractual obligations, from time-to-time contractors may not comply with such standards
+Added: or applicable local law or our licensees may fail to enforce such standards or applicable local law on their contractors.
+Added: or continuing noncompliance with such standards and laws by one or more contractors could harm our reputation or result in a product
+Added: recall and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition.

+Added: These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, systemic, political and market conditions,

+Added: If our stock is priced or closes at a price that would reduce the conversion price of the notes to be below approximately $15.00, additional
+Added: conversion shares will be issuable upon the automatic conversion of the notes, and we will be required to file a new registration statement
+Added: covering the new conversion shares as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the number of new conversion shares

−Removed: The sale or prospect of a sale of a substantial
−Removed: number of these shares could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
−Removed: we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability
−Removed: of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.
−Removed: trading on the Over the Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
−Removed: as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin
−Removed: As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers
−Removed: to sell our securities and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
−Removed: In addition, we may be
−Removed: unable to get relisted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on the Company.
−Removed: common stock is considered a “penny stock,”
−Removed: any investment in our shares is considered to be a high-risk investment and
−Removed: is subject to restrictions on marketability.
−Removed: common stock is considered a “penny stock”
−Removed: because it is quoted on the OTCQB and it trades for less than $5.00 per share.
−Removed: The OTCQB is generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the NASDAQ Capital or Global Markets or the New York Stock Exchange.
−Removed: The SEC has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.”
−Removed: Penny stocks generally
−Removed: are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges
−Removed: or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is
−Removed: provided by the exchange or system).
−Removed: The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise
−Removed: exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny
−Removed: stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market.
−Removed: The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid
−Removed: and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account
−Removed: statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
−Removed: In addition, the penny stock rules require
−Removed: that, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special
−Removed: written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement
−Removed: to the transaction.
−Removed: These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our
−Removed: common stock.
−Removed: Since our common stock is subject to the regulations applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for our common stock
−Removed: could be adversely affected because the regulations on penny stocks could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock
−Removed: and thus your ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market in the future.
−Removed: We can provide no assurance that our common stock
−Removed: will be quoted or listed on the OTCQB, NASDAQ or any exchange, even if eligible in the future.
+Added: The sale or prospect of a sale of a substantial number of these
+Added: shares could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
+Added: sales of our common stock may result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock, even if our business is doing well.
+Added: market price of our common stock could drop due to sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market or the perception
+Added: that such sales could occur.
+Added: This could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.
+Added: we implement a reverse stock split to regain compliance with the Bid-Price Rule, it may not result in a proportional increase in the
+Added: per share price of our common stock.
+Added: described above under “Item 1.
+Added: Business—Recent Developments,” Nasdaq informed us on October 10, 2022, that we were
+Added: not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule and that we had until April 10, 2023 to regain such compliance.
+Added: To do so, our Board of Directors
+Added: is contemplating a 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
+Added: The effect of a future reverse stock split, if any, on the market price for our common
+Added: stock cannot be accurately predicted.
+Added: In particular, we cannot assure you that the prices for shares of the common stock after a future
+Added: reverse stock split will increase proportionately to prices for shares of our common stock immediately before a reverse stock split.
+Added: The market price of our common stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to a future reverse stock split or
+Added: the number of shares outstanding.
+Added: even if the market price of our common stock does rise following a reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that the market price of
+Added: our common stock immediately after a reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time.
+Added: Moreover, because some investors
+Added: may view a reverse stock split negatively, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price
+Added: of our common stock.
+Added: Accordingly, our total market capitalization after a reverse stock split may be lower than the market capitalization
+Added: before a reverse stock split.
+Added: may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares .
+Added: Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized 300,000,000 shares
+Added: that are not issued or reserved for issuance under convertible or exchangeable instruments.
+Added: In addition, we may attempt to raise additional
+Added: capital by selling shares, possibly at a deep discount to market.
+Added: These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of
+Added: existing shareholders, further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.
+Added: reverse stock split may not help generate additional investor interest.
+Added: can be no assurance that a reverse stock split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment
+Added: funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds.
+Added: As a result, the
+Added: trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.
+Added: can be no assurances that our common stock will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not regain compliance with the listing
+Added: requirements of the Nasdaq.
+Added: have listed the shares of our common stock on the Nasdaq, under the symbol “CNXA.” As such we are e subject to, among other
+Added: things, our fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the Nasdaq.
+Added: In addition, Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including,
+Added: without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements.
+Added: As described above under “Item 1.
+Added: Business—Recent
+Added: Developments,” Nasdaq informed us that we are deficient with respect to several continued listing criteria.
+Added: Failure to maintain
+Added: our listing (i.e., being de-listed from the Nasdaq), would make it more difficult for shareholders to sell our common stock and more
+Added: difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock.
+Added: This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
+Added: Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in
+Added: the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.
+Added: have received notices of delinquency from the Nasdaq for violations of listing rules and there is no assurance that we will regain compliance
+Added: and maintain our listing on the Nasdaq.
+Added: have received a number of letters from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) from
+Added: the period starting on August 16, 2022 through March 21, 2023 (i) notifying us that we are not in compliance with the periodic filing

+Added: Rule previously granted by Nasdaq) and our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2023 was
+Added: not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the required due date of March 17, 2023,
+Added: which is an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq and (ii) indicating that the Nasdaq Hearings
+Added: Panel (the “Panel”) would consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing
+Added: on the Nasdaq at its hearing on Thursday, March 30, 2023.
+Added: On October 10, 2022, we
+Added: received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq indicating that our common stock is subject to potential delisting
+Added: from Nasdaq because, for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closed below
+Added: the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
+Added: The Nasdaq notice indicated that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will be provided 180 calendar
+Added: days, or until April 10, 2023, to regain compliance.
+Added: The Company did not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule before April
+Added: 10, 2023, but requested at its hearing on March 30, 2023 an additional period of six months to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse
+Added: stock split, if necessary.
+Added: We have also been notified by
+Added: the Nasdaq that due to the resignations from the Company’s board, audit committee and compensation committee on November 17, 2022,
+Added: we no longer comply with Nasdaq’s independent director, audit committee and compensation committee requirements as set forth in
+Added: Listing Rule 5605.
+Added: On March 30, 2023, the Company
+Added: had its hearing with the Nasdaq, which indicated that a decision with respect to the Company’s listing status on the Nasdaq would
+Added: be rendered within two weeks.
+Added: On April 12, 2023, the Company
+Added: received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq indicating that the Company had not yet regained compliance
+Added: with the Bid Price Rule, which serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq.
+Added: further indicated that the Panel will consider this matter in its decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq
+Added: Capital Market.
+Added: In that regard, the Nasdaq indicated that the Company should present its views with respect to this additional delinquency
+Added: to the Panel in writing no later than April 19, 2023.
+Added: To date, we have not yet filed
+Added: our Delinquent Filings other than this annual report on Form 10-K, although work on completing such filings is ongoing and have not received
+Added: a response from the Nasdaq with respect to our requests for extensions of time to regain compliance with the listing requirements with
+Added: respect to which we are currently in violation.
+Added: The Company offers no assurance
+Added: that its request to be granted further time to file its Delinquent Filings, regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and redress its
+Added: Corporate Governance Deficiencies and to remain listed on the Nasdaq will be granted.
+Added: can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to maintain its Nasdaq listing.
+Added: If the Company’s common
+Added: stock ceases to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company would expect that its common stock would be traded on
+Added: one of the three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group.
+Added: The Company intends to closely monitor the closing bid price of its common
+Added: stock and consider all available options to remedy the bid price deficiency to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
+Added: securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price
+Added: and trading volume could decline.
+Added: trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about
+Added: us or our business.
+Added: Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company.
+Added: If no securities
+Added: or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock may be negatively impacted.
+Added: In the event securities
+Added: or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or
+Added: unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline.
+Added: If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company
+Added: or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume
+Added: our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.
+Added: SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.
+Added: Penny stocks are generally

+Added: for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions
+Added: in such securities is provided by the exchange or system.
+Added: If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the Nasdaq and if the price of our
