The Series B warrants have an exercise price of $11.25 per share, a term of 5 years and contain a cashless exercise option upon certain criteria being met. Subsequent to quarter end,As of June 30, 2021, substantially all of the Series B warrants issued in the IPO have been exercised pursuant to a cashless provision therein.

Subsequent to quarter end, substantially all of the Series B-1 warrants issued in the September 2020 Offering have been exercised pursuant to a cashless provision therein.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: changes in the biotechnology regulatory environment, technological advances that render our technologies obsolete, availability of resources for clinical trials, acceptance of technologies into the medical community, and competition from larger, more well-funded companies. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.
6
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The COVID-19 coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the financial impact will be to the Company, it is reasonably possible that future capital raiseraising efforts and additional development of our technologies may be negatively affected.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN ANALYSIS
Management Plans
The Company was incorporated on September 28, 2017 and has not generated revenues to date. During the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had a net loss of $1,723,680$12,558,103 and cash of $49,925. However, subsequent to$8,610,125 at June 30, 2020, the Company received approximately $9.5 million in cash as net proceeds from the IPO (See Note 1).2021. The Company will be conducting medical research and development, and the time at which the Company will begin generating revenue is unknown. These factors indicate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes, however, that the funds raised by the IPO, the September 2020 Offering, and the offering, sale, and issuance by the Company of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “January 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement”) will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operation for at least the next 12 months. Because of these factors, the Company believes that this alleviates issuessubstantial doubt in connection with the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs, and raise additional funds when necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to complete clinical studies and implement the business plan, generate sufficient revenues and to control operating expenses.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.June 30, 2020. Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP have been or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which contain the audited financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Prospectus, dated June 29, 2020, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).on March 25, 2021. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 20202021 or for any future interim periods.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates underlying the financial statements include the fair value of stock options and warrants.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| Level 1 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. |
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
| Level 2 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3 - | Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
-6-
Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts at financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the Company may have deposits in excess of federally insured limits.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures for furniture, office equipment, laboratory equipment, and other assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. The Company considers all highly liquid investmentscosts of fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease life of the related assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019,indefinite lives, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.assets are tested periodically for impairment.
8
Offering Costs
The Company accounts for offering costs in accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs were capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs are netted against the proceeds of the offering in stockholders’ deficitequity (deficit) or the related debt, as applicable. Costs related to unsuccessful offerings are expensed.
Leases
Under Topic 842, adopted in 2020 with no impact related to adoption, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The Company has operating leases consisting of office space, laboratory space, and lab equipment.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For lease agreements entered or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we combine the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and right of use (“ROU”) assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC.ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.
Patents
The Company incurs fees from patent licenses.licenses, which are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,June 30, 2020, the Company had a licensing fee for the patents of $72,545 and $126,670, and $15,181, respectively.
Research and Development
We incur research and development costs during the process of researching and developing our technologies and future offerings. Our research and development costs mainly consist of licensing costs. We expense these costs as incurred unless such costs qualify for capitalization under applicable guidance. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Company incurred research and development costs of $1,868,703 and $228,665, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2021, 2,143,000 stock options and 5,463,715 warrants were excluded from dilutive earnings per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2020, 1,110,000 stock options and 1,291,503 warrants were excluded from dilutive earnings per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2019, 1,102,500 stock options and 1,077,173 warrants were excluded from dilutive earnings per share as their effects were anti-dilutive.

As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The Company has elected to utilizeelimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the extendedscope of ASU 2020-06.

Overview
We are a life sciencesbiotech innovation company with a mission of prolonging life and enhancing its quality by improving the health of the immune system. We are developing biotechnologies specifically focused on improving the health of the immune system through immune reprogramming and monitoring. Our immune reprogramming technology istechnologies are currently at the pre-clinical stage and are designed to retrain the immune system to induce tolerance with an objective of addressing rejection of transplanted organs, autoimmune diseases, and allergies. Our immune monitoring technology istechnologies are designed to provide a personalized comprehensive profile of the immune system and we plan to utilize itthem in our upcoming reprogramming clinical trials to monitor subjects’ immune response before, during and after drug administration. We are also evaluating plans to obtain FDA approval for this monitoring tool’s use as a clinical assay.
Immune Reprogramming
The discovery of immunosuppressive (anti-rejection and monoclonal) drugs over 40 years ago has made possible life-saving organ transplantation procedures and blocking of unwanted immune responses in autoimmune diseases. However, immune suppression leads to significant undesirable side effects, such as increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections and cancers, because it indiscriminately and broadly suppresses immune function throughout the body. While the use of these drugs has been justifiable because they prevent or delay organ rejection, their use for treatment of autoimmune diseases and allergies may not be acceptable because of the aforementioned side effects. Furthermore, transplanted organs often ultimately fail despite the use of immune suppression, and about 40% of transplanted organs survive no more than 5 years.
New, focused therapeutic approaches are needed that modulate only the small portion of immune cells that are involved in rejection of the transplanted organ, as this approach can be safer for patients than indiscriminate immune suppression. Such approaches are referred to as immune tolerance, and when therapeutically induced, may be safer for patients and also potentially allow long-term survival of transplanted tissues and organs.
In the late 1990s, academic research on these approaches was conducted at the Transplant Center in Loma Linda University (“LLU”) in connection with a project that secured initial grant funding from the U.S. Department of Defense. The focus of that project was for skin grafting for burn victims. Twenty years of research at LLU and an affiliated incubator led to a series of discoveries that have been translated into a large patent portfolio of therapeutic approaches that may be applied to the modulation of the immune system in order to induce tolerance to self and transplanted organs.
We have an exclusive worldwide license for commercializing this nucleic acid-based technology (which is currently at the pre-clinical stage), named Apoptotic DNA Immunotherapy™ (ADi™) from LLU, which utilizes a novel approach that mimics the way the body naturally induces tolerance to our own tissues (“therapeutically induced immune tolerance”). While immune suppression requires continuous administration to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ, induction of tolerance has the potential to retrain the immune system to accept the organ for longer periods of time. Thus, ADi™ may allow patients to live with transplanted organs with significantly reduced immune suppression. ADi™ is a technology platform which we believe can be engineered to address a wide variety of indications.
-15-17
We are developing ADi™ products for organ transplantation including skin grafting, autoimmune diseases, and allergies, with the initial focus on skin allografts and psoriasis, as we believe these indications will be most efficient in providing safety and efficacy data in clinical trials. To submit a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for a biopharmaceutical product, clinical safety and efficacy must be demonstrated in a series of clinical studies conducted with human subjects. For products in our class of drugs, the first-in-human trials will be a combination of Phase I (safety/tolerability) and Phase II (efficacy) in affected subjects. To obtain approval to initiate the Phase I/IIa studies, an Investigational New Drug Application will be submitted to compile non-clinical efficacy data as well as manufacturing and pre-clinical safety/toxicology data. To date, we have conducted non-clinical studies in a stringent model of skin transplantation using genetically mismatched donor and recipient animals demonstrating a 3-fold increase in the survival of the skin graft in animals that were tolerized with ADi™ compared to animals that receive immune suppression alone. Prolongation of graft life was observed despite discontinuation of immune suppression after the first 5 weeks. Additionally, in an induced non-clinical model for psoriasis, ADi™ treatment resulted in a 69% reduction in skin thickness and a 38% decrease in skin flaking (two clinical parameters for assessment of psoriasis skin lesions). The Phase I/IIa studies in psoriasis will evaluate the safety/tolerability of ADi™ in patients diagnosed with psoriasis. Since the drug will be administered in subjects diagnosed with psoriasis, effectiveness of the drug to improve psoriatic lesions will also be evaluated. In another Phase I/IIa study, patients requiring skin allografts will receive weekly intra-dermal injections of ADi™ in combination with standard immune suppression to assess safety/tolerability and possibility of reducing levels of immunosuppressive drugs as well as prolongation of graft life. Later phase trials are planned after successful completion of these studies in preparation for submission for a BLA to regulatory agencies.
Immune Monitoring
We believe that understanding the status of an individual’s immune system is key to developing and administering immunotherapies such as ADi™. We have secured an exclusive worldwide license for commercializing a technology platform named Aditxt Immune Monitor™ (AiM™), which provides a personalized comprehensive profile of the immune system. It is intended to be informative for individual immune responses to viruses, bacterial antigens, peptides, drugs, bone marrow and solid organ transplants, and cancer. It has broad applicability to many other agents of clinical interest impacting the immune system, including those not yet identified such as future infectious agents. We plan to brand this technology, and other future licensed and/or in-house developed monitoring technologies collectively as AditxtScore™.
AiM™AditxtScore™ is being designed to allow individuals to understand, manage and monitor their immune profiles in order to be informed about attacks on or by their immune system. We believe AiM™AditxtScore™ can also assist the medical community in anticipating possible immune responses and reactions to viruses, bacteria, allergens, and transplanted organs. It can be useful in anticipating attacks on the body by having the ability to determine its potential response and for developing a plan to deal with an undesirable reaction by the immune system. Its advantages include the ability to provide a simple, rapid, accurate, high throughput, single platform assay that can be multiplexed to determine the immune status with respect to several factors simultaneously, in 3-16 hours, as well as detect antigen and antibody in a single test (i.e., infectious, recovered, immune). In addition, it can determine and differentiate between various types of cellular and humoral immune responses (T and B cells). It also provides for simultaneous monitoring of cell activation and levels of cytokine release (i.e., cytokine storms).
We plan to utilize AiM™AditxtScore™ in our upcoming clinical trials to monitor subjects’ immune response before, during, and after ADi™ drug administration. We are also evaluating plansworking with regulatory consultants with the objective to obtain FDA approval for AiM™’s useAditxtScore™ as a clinical assay and seeking to secure manufacturing,assay. We are currently securing marketing and distribution partnerships for application of AditxtScore™ in the Infectious Diseases market, by end of 2020.infectious diseases market. To obtain FDA approval to use AiM™AditxtScore™ as a clinical assay, we plan to conductare performing validation studies comparing AiM™ to other immunological tests to demonstrate reproducibility of data andAditxtScore™’s utility to demonstrate the sensitivityevaluate various components of the assays for use in different indications (e.g., detection of antigens present in infectious agents or antibodies against infectious agents).immune system reproducibly. We believe that thesethis data will show AiM™’s ability to multiplex in two ways using a single assay: (i) evaluating the immune response to multiple antigens (from different infectious agents) and (ii) measuring quantities of multiple cytokines. Furthermore, we believe that the additional validation studies will demonstrate AiM™AditxtScore™’s ability to measure various components of the presenceimmune system (e.g., humoral and cell-mediated immune responses) to provide a broader view of several antibody isotypes against several antigensthe immune system and its status in a single reaction.health and disease. Our plan is to submit a 510(K) application to the FDA after successful completioncompilation of these studies. We have engaged consultants for our communications and submissions to the FDA.data. Beyond 2020,infectious diseases, we plan to develop AiM™AditxtScore™ for applications in additional markets such as Organ Rejection, Allergies, Drug/Vaccine Response,organ rejection, allergies, drug/vaccine response, and Disease Susceptibility.disease susceptibility.

On January 25, 2021, the Company may need to raise additional funding through strategic relationships, public or private equity or debt financings, grants or other arrangements to develop and seek regulatory approvalsentered into a securities purchase agreement for the Company’s existingsale of a $6,000,000 Convertible Note. The Convertible Note has a term of 24 months, converts at a price of $4.00 per share, and new product candidates. If such funding is not available or not available on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s current development plan and plans for expansionhas an original issuance discount of its general and administrative infrastructure may be curtailed.$1,000,000.

We may need to raise significant additional capital to continue to fund our operations and the clinical trials.trials for our product candidates. We may seek to sell common stock, preferred stock or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. In addition, we may seek to raise cash through collaborative agreements or from government grants. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities, or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights.
The source, timing, and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of our clinical development program. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Lack of necessary funds may require us to, among other things, delay, scale back or eliminate expenses including some or all of our planned development, including our clinical trials. While the Companywe may need to raise funds in the future, we believe the Company believed its current cash reserves should be sufficient to fund the Company’sour operation for the foreseeable future. Because of these factors, the Company believeswe believe that this alleviates the issues about the Company’sour ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We believe that of our critical accounting policies described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’sour Prospectus, dated June 29,September 1, 2020, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b), theare critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. The following involve the most judgment and complexity:
| ● | Research and development |
| ● | Stock-based compensation expense |
| ● | Fair value of common stock |
Accordingly, we believe the policies set forth above are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. If actual results or events differ materially from the estimates, judgments and assumptions used by us in applying these policies, our reported financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
WeWhen favorable, we have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
The Company, Amro Albanna, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Shahrokh Shabahang, our Chief Innovation Officer, have been named as cross-defendants in a counterclaim filed by Christopher Sechrist in an action entitled Shahrokh Shabahang v. Christopher Sechrist, San Bernardino County Superior Court Case No. CIVDS1831323. In a cross-complaint, Mr. Sechrist contends that he was a partner in a dental practice with Dr. Shabahang, and that disputes arose as between those partners. Neither the Company nor Mr. Albanna were partners in, or otherwise have an interest in, the dental practice. Notwithstanding, and seemingly based solely on the fact that Dr. Shabahang became the Chief Innovation Officer for the Company, Mr. Sechrist has brought claims against the Company and Mr. Albanna. Both the Company and Mr. Albanna believe that the Counterclaims filed by Mr. Sechrist have no factual or legal merit, and they intend to vigorously defend themselves in the action and to seek a dismissal of the case as against them as soon as possible. On May 26, 2020, Mr. Sechrist filed a request for dismissal as to the Company and Mr. Albanna with the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, San Bernardino District. The clerk of the court entered the dismissal with prejudice on May 26, 2020.
Our CEO, Amro Albanna, is a party to litigation matters unrelated to the Company or any of its properties. Such litigations relate to Innovation Economy Corporation (IEC), a company in which Mr. Albanna served as the CEO and a Director from 2010 until 2017, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Innovation Economy Corporation d/b/a ieCrowd). The first litigation (ieCrowd v. Kim, et. al, Superior Court, Riverside County) was originally commenced by IEC and its subsidiary after Mr. Albanna was no longer affiliated with IEC, against certain third-party defendants based upon claims related to their misconduct and mismanagement. Such defendants subsequently brought a countersuit against IEC and its subsidiary, in which they named Mr. Albanna and others as defendants, alleging that they were misled to invest in IEC and its subsidiary based upon misrepresentations by, among others, Mr. Albanna. The cases have now been consolidated. Mr. Albanna believes that the counteraction commenced by the third parties against him is without merit and intends to defend himself. The second matter (Calabria v. ieCrowd) was commenced by Calabria Ventures more than 2 years after Mr. Albanna was no longer affiliated with IEC, related to uncollected rent. Mr. Albanna believes that the action commenced against him is without merit and intends to defend himself. IEC (either directly or through its Director and officer insurance policy) has covered all related legal costs to date.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth in our Prospectus,most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results.
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Prospectus, except as noted below.
Unfavorable global economic, business, or political conditions could adversely affectAnnual Report on Form 10-K and our business and financial condition.
Our business could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets, including conditions that are outside of our control, including the impact of health and safety concerns, such as those relating to the current COVID-19 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The recent global financial crisis in connectionother filings with the COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.SEC.
