LogicMark, Inc.

LogicMark, Inc. (the “Company”, “LogicMark”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is offering, pursuant to this prospectus and on a best-efforts basis, up to 3,472,222 units (the “Units”) at an assumed offering price of $1.44 per Unit, which is equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on January 15, 2025, with each Unit consisting of: (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase Common Stock exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant, upon exercise at a price of $1.44 per share (100% of the assumed public offering price of the Unit), will result in the issuance of one share of Common Stock to the holder of such Warrant. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable and expire five (5) years after the date of their issuance.

We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of Units in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if they so choose, pre-funded units (“Pre-Funded Units”) in lieu of the Units that would otherwise result in ownership in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock, with each Pre-Funded Unit consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (each, a “Pre-Funded Warrant”) and one Warrant. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit will equal the price per Unit, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant included in the Pre-Funded Unit will be $0.001 per share. There can be no assurance that we will sell any of the Pre-Funded Units being offered. The Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full. For each Pre-Funded Unit we sell, the number of Units we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Because we will issue one Warrant as part of each Unit or Pre-Funded Unit, the number of Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of the Units and Pre-Funded Units sold.

The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part also registers the shares of Common Stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) included in the Units and Pre-Funded Units offered hereby. See “Description of Securities That We Are Offering” in this prospectus for more information. We refer to the shares of our Common Stock, the Units, the Pre-Funded Units, the Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, collectively, as the “Securities”.

Neither the Units nor the Pre-Funded Units have stand-alone rights nor will they be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares of Common Stock and the Warrants included in the Units are immediately separable, and will be issued separately in this offering, and the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants included in the Pre-Funded Units are immediately separable, and will be issued separately in this offering.

Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “LGMK”. The last reported closing price for our Common Stock on Nasdaq on January 17, 2025 was $1.41 per share. On November 18, 2024, we effected a one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split (the “Common Stock Reverse Stock Split”) of all of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Unless the context expressly indicates otherwise, all references to share and per share amounts referred to herein reflect the amounts after giving effect to the Common Stock Reverse Stock Split.

There is no established trading market for the Units, Pre-Funded Units, Warrants, or Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of such securities will be limited.

The Securities will be offered at a fixed price and are expected to be issued in a single closing. Investors purchasing the Securities offered hereby will execute a securities purchase agreement with us. When we price the Securities, we will simultaneously enter into securities purchase agreements relating to the offering with those investors who choose to participate in the offering. We expect this offering to be completed not later than one (1) business day following the commencement of this offering and we will deliver all of the Securities to be issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment/receipt versus payment upon receipt of investor funds received by us. Accordingly, neither we nor the placement agent have made any arrangements to place investor funds in an escrow account or trust account since the placement agent will not receive investor funds in connection with the sale of the Securities offered hereunder.

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, under applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting and disclosure requirements.

We have engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC as our exclusive placement agent (the “placement agent”) to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Securities in this offering. The placement agent has no obligation to purchase any of the Securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the Securities. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, placement agent’s fee, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above and throughout this prospectus. We have agreed to pay the placement agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below. See “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus for more information.

Pursuant to the placement agency agreement that we will enter into with the placement agent in connection with this offering, in the event that the aggregate value of Securities sold in connection with this offering equals or exceeds $5 million, we will issue to the placement agent warrants exercisable for up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate number of Units (and Pre-Funded Units, if any) issued in this offering (the “PA Warrants”), which will have a term of five years. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part also registers for sale the PA Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PA Warrants.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of this prospectus, as well as other information included in this prospectus, to read about factors you should consider before investing in our securities.

We will deliver the shares of Common Stock being issued to the purchasers electronically and will electronically deliver to such investors electronic warrant certificates for each of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants sold in this offering, upon closing and receipt of investor funds for the purchase of the Securities offered pursuant to this prospectus. We anticipate that delivery of the shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants against payment therefor will be made on or before           , 2025.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Securities offered under this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus before you decide to invest in our securities. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. Investors are further advised that the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also negatively impact our business operations or financial results. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of our securities.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Securities

This is a best-efforts offering, no minimum amount of Units (and/or Pre-Funded Units, if any) is required to be sold, and we may not raise the amount of capital that we believe is required for our business plans.

The placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Units (and/or Pre-Funded Units, if any) in this offering. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any such securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of such securities. There is no required minimum number of such securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, placement agent fees and proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth herein. We may sell fewer than all of the Units (and/or Pre-Funded Units, if any) offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of Securities sufficient to support our continued operations. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital that we believe is required for our operations and may need to raise additional funds. Such additional fundraises may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.

The market price for our Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above the assumed public offering price attributed to the Common Stock included in the Units purchased in this offering or to the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants included in the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units in this offering, which may result in substantial losses to you.

The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our Common Stock is, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. The price for our Common Stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our Common Stock is sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares of Common Stock on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating performance.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our Common Stock or other securities. In addition, this offering and future equity offerings and other issuances of our Common Stock or other securities may adversely affect our Common Stock price.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per Unit or Pre-Funded Unit in this offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per Unit or Pre-Funded Unit paid by the investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per Unit or Pre-Funded Unit in this offering. You may incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding warrants, conversion of any outstanding preferred stock or upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock under our equity incentive programs. In addition, the sale of securities in this offering and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock.

Substantial future issuances and sales of shares of our Common Stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the near future to continue our planned operations. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market following the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions, or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute the ownership of the Common Stock. Depending on the terms available to us, if these activities result in significant dilution, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

The issuance of material amounts of Common Stock by us would cause our existing stockholders to experience significant dilution in their investment in us. We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences, or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those of our Common Stock. Additionally, we may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on the ownership interest of existing stockholders, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of Common Stock. The holders of any securities or instruments that we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our existing stockholders. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over such stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock. In addition, if we obtain additional financing involving the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, our existing stockholders’ investment would be further diluted. Such dilution could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline, which could impair our ability to raise additional financing.

We could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights; and provisions in our charter documents could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.

Our articles of incorporation, as amended (“Articles of Incorporation”) authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board. Our Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. For example, it would be possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the Company.

The Series C Preferred Stock currently ranks senior to the Common Stock and our Series F Preferred Stock, and any class or series of capital stock created after the Series C Preferred Stock and has a special preference upon the liquidation of the Company. The Series F Preferred Stock currently ranks senior to the Common Stock and any class or series of capital stock created after the Series F Preferred Stock and has a special preference upon the liquidation of the Company. The Company is also party to the Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, in the event that an person or entity or group thereof becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of Common Stock as of the close of business on November 1, 2024 will be entitled to receive on the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) a dividend of one Right, with each Right exercisable for one one-hundredth of a share of Series G Preferred Stock, at the Series G Purchase Price, and upon such issuance, the Series G will rank junior to all other series of preferred stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any series shall provide otherwise. For further information regarding our shares of (i) Series C Preferred Stock, please refer to the disclosure contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2017 and the Series C Certificate of Designations filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 2, 2023 and the Series C Certificate of Amendment to the Series C Certificate of Designations filed with the SEC on November 18, 2024; (ii) Series F Preferred Stock, please refer to the disclosure contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 17, 2021 and the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Certificate of Designation”) filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 2, 2023; and (iii) Series G Preferred Stock and the Rights Agreement, please refer to the disclosure contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 1, 2024, the Series G Certificate of Designations and the Rights Agreement filed as exhibits thereto.

If and when a larger trading market for our Common Stock develops, the market price of our Common Stock is still likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares of Common Stock at or above the assumed public offering price of the shares of Common Stock included in the Units in this offering or the assumed public offering price of the Common Stock obtained upon exercise of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants included in the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units in this offering. 

The market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

We may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock may depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us or our business, our market and our competitors. We do not have any control over such analysts. If one or more such analysts downgrade or publish a negative opinion of our Common Stock, our share price would likely decline. If analysts do not cover our Company or do not regularly publish reports on us, we may not be able to attain visibility in the financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our share price or trading volume.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future; you should not invest in our securities if you expect dividends.

The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Board may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our shares of Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Additionally, the holder of our shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends pursuant to the Series C Certificate of Designations. The Series C Certificate of Designations requires us to pay cash dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock on a quarterly and cumulative basis at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum commencing on the date of issuance of such shares, which rate increases to fifteen percent (15%) per annum in the event that the Company’s market capitalization is $50 million or greater for thirty consecutive days. We are currently obligated to declare and pay $75,000 in quarterly dividends on our shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series F Certificate of Designation required us to pay dividends on our Series F Preferred Stock at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum commencing on the date of issuance of such shares, which were payable until the earlier of the date on which such shares were converted or twelve months from such date of issuance, as applicable. As of the date of this prospectus, we are no longer obligated to declare and pay dividends on outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, as such shares were issued over twelve months prior to such date, and an aggregate of approximately 1,512 shares of Common Stock are payable as dividends to the holder of our shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

Subject to the payment of dividends on our shares of Series C Preferred Stock, we currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our shares Common Stock.

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for certain customers. FINRA requirements will likely make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our shares of Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our Common Stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of commencement of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

There is no public market for the Units, Pre-Funded Units, Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants.

There is no established public trading market for the Units, Pre-Funded Units, Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list such securities on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active market, the liquidity of such securities will be limited.

The Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering are speculative in nature.

Following this offering, the market value of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will equal or exceed their respective imputed assumed public offering price. In the event that our Common Stock price does not exceed the respective exercise price of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants during the period when such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable, such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants may not have any value. Furthermore, each Warrant, will expire five years from its date of issuance.

Holders of each of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will not have rights of holders of our shares of Common Stock until such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised. 

Neither the Warrants nor the Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering confer any rights of share ownership on their holders, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price. Until holders of each of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants acquire shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, respectively, such holders will have no rights with respect to our shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. If we are unable to maintain listing of our Common Stock on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell shares of Common Stock that they hold.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements.

In the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq due to our failure to continue to comply with any requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, and is not eligible for listing on another exchange, trading in the shares of our Common Stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Open Market or the other markets operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our Common Stock, and it would likely be more difficult to obtain coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a national exchange.

In the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock rules.

The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stock” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our shares of Common Stock have in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of such shares of Common Stock and impede their sale in the secondary market.

A U.S. broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include: (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our inability to win or renew government contracts during regulated procurement processes or preferences granted to certain bidders for which we would not qualify could harm our operations and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.

U.S. government contracts are awarded through a regulated procurement process. The U.S. government has increasingly relied upon multi-year contracts with pre-established terms and conditions, such as IDIQ, which generally require those contractors who have previously been awarded contracts to engage in an additional competitive bidding process. The increased competition may require us to make sustained efforts to reduce costs to realize revenue and profits under government contracts. If we are not successful in reducing the amount of costs we incur, our profitability on government contracts will be negatively impacted.

The U.S. government has also increased its use of contracts in which the client qualifies multiple contractors for a specific program and then awards specific task orders or projects among the qualified contractors, which have the potential to create pricing pressure and to increase our costs by requiring us to submit multiple bids and proposals. The competitive bidding process entails substantial costs and managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us or may be split among competitors. Further, the U.S. government has announced specific statutory goals regarding awarding prime and subcontracts to small businesses, women-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses and small disadvantaged businesses, which may obligate us to involve such businesses as subcontractors with respect to these contracts, resulting in lower margins than when we sell direct. While we are unaware of any reason why our status as a public company would negatively impact our ability to compete for and be awarded government contracts, our inability to win or renew government contracts during regulated procurement processes or as a result of the policies pursuant to which these processes are implemented could harm our operations and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.

Further, our U.S. government contracts are subject to termination by the U.S. government either at its convenience or upon the default of the contractor. Termination for convenience provisions provides only for the recovery of costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses, and profit on work completed prior to termination. Termination for default clauses imposes liability on the contractor for excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in re-procuring undelivered items from another source. Any decisions by the U.S. government to not exercise contract options or to terminate, cancel, delay, modify or curtail our major programs or contracts would adversely affect our revenues, revenue growth and profitability.

A failure by us to continue to generate task orders or fulfill our obligations under an IDIQ contract with the GSA, or our inability to secure an IDIQ contract with the GSA, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

Our contract with the GSA provides for the issuance by the government of orders for our PERS products under the GSA Agreement and contains a multi-year term with unfunded ceiling amounts, which allow but do not commit the GSA to purchase from us. Additionally, although we currently do not have an IDIQ contract with the GSA, we may not be able to secure an IDIQ contract with the GSA. A failure to be awarded task orders under any contracts with the government would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial conditions. Additionally, any failure by us to fulfill our contractual obligations under these government contracts, or to secure an IDIQ contract with the GSA, would result in substantially reduced revenue and profits and would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation. Our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations may be limited by our ability to devote sufficient resources and limited by availability of material supplies. If we do not fulfill our contractual obligations in a timely manner, we may experience delays in product delivery which would postpone receipt of revenue from those delayed deliveries. Additionally, if we are consistently unable to fulfill the orders and other related obligations, this may be a disincentive to customers to award large contracts to us in the future until they are comfortable that we can effectively manage the orders, or even result a termination of an existing contract.

We are uncertain of our ability to generate sufficient revenue and profitability in the future.

We continue to develop and refine our business model, but we can provide no assurance that we will be able to generate a sufficient amount of revenue, from our business in order to achieve profitability. It is not possible for us to predict at this time the potential success of our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are currently unknown. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, you may lose some or all your investment in our Company.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company generated an operating loss of $5.5 million and a net loss of $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to an operating loss of $15.3 million and a net loss of $14.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million, stockholders’ equity of $12.3 million and working capital of $5.1 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $6.4 million, and stockholders’ equity of $13.1 million, and working capital of $6.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional cash from equity financing, secure debt financing, and/or generate revenue from the sales of our products. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations.

The loss or material reduction of significant customer contracts, including the termination of the GSA Agreement, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

Our historical operations depend on, and a significant portion of our revenue is derived from our contract with the GSA. While we believe that our business relationship with the GSA is strong, any change in that relationship, including without limitation, the termination of the GSA Agreement, would have a significant adverse impact on our revenue, operating cash flow and financial results; and we would likely be faced with a decision to initiate cost reduction actions that would largely include reductions for personnel and assets affected by the contract loss. The loss, without replacement, of our contract with the GSA could also have a material adverse effect on our ability to win new business and our future operating results.

Significant disruptions of information technology systems or security breaches could materially adversely affect our business.

We are increasingly dependent upon information technology systems, infrastructure, and data to operate our business. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store, and transmit large amounts of confidential information (including, among other things, trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information). It is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. We also have outsourced elements of our operations to third parties, and as a result, we manage a number of third-party vendors who may or could have access to our confidential information. Attacks on information technology systems are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication, and intensity, and they are being conducted by increasingly sophisticated and organized groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise. The size and complexity of our information technology systems, and those of third-party vendors with whom we contract, and the large amounts of confidential information stored on those systems, make such systems vulnerable to service interruptions or to security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, third-party vendors, and/or business partners, or from cyber-attacks by malicious third parties. Cyber-attacks could include the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.

Significant disruptions of our information technology systems, or those of our third-party vendors, or security breaches could materially adversely affect our business operations and/or result in the loss, misappropriation and/or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, confidential information, including, among other things, trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information, and could result in financial, legal, business and reputational harm to us. The Company continually assesses these threats and makes investments to increase internal protection, detection, and response capabilities, as well as ensure the Company’s third-party providers have required capabilities and controls, to address this risk.

Any failure or perceived failure by us or any third-party collaborators, service providers, contractors or consultants to comply with our privacy, confidentiality, data security or similar obligations to third parties, or any data security incidents or other security breaches that result in the unauthorized access, release or transfer of sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, may result in governmental investigations, enforcement actions, regulatory fines, litigation or public statements against us, could cause third parties to lose trust in us or could result in claims by third parties asserting that we have breached our privacy, confidentiality, data security or similar obligations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, data security incidents and other security breaches can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying them may lead to increased harm. To date, the Company has not experienced any material impact to the business or operations resulting from information or cybersecurity attacks; however, because of the frequently changing attack techniques, along with the increased volume and sophistication of the attacks, there is the potential for the Company to be adversely impacted. While we have implemented data security measures intended to protect our information technology systems and infrastructure, there can be no assurance that such measures will successfully prevent service interruptions or data security incidents. The Company maintains cybersecurity insurance in the event of an information security or cyber incident; however, the coverage may not be sufficient to cover all financial losses.

We are exposed to risks related to cybersecurity.

Although we maintain systems and processes that are designed to protect the security of our computer systems, software, networks and other technology, there is no assurance that all of our security measures will provide absolute security. Any material incidents could cause us to experience financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered through any insurance maintained by us and increased expenses related to addressing or mitigating the risks associated with any such material incidents. Cyber threats are rapidly evolving and are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Despite our efforts to ensure the integrity of our systems, as cyber threats evolve and become more difficult to detect and successfully defend against, one or more cyber threats might defeat the measures that we or our vendors take to anticipate, detect, avoid or mitigate such threats. Certain techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, introduce malicious software, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems may be designed to remain dormant until a triggering event and we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures since techniques change frequently or are not recognized until discovered, and because cyberattacks can originate from a wide variety of sources. If our information security systems or data are compromised in a material way, our ability to conduct our business may be impaired, we may incur financial losses and we may incur costs to remediate possible harm and/or to pay fines or take other action which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

The Company employs a multi-layered approach to security and recovery in the event of a cybersecurity attack. There exists the possibility that our third-party data backup and recovery service provider may also be impaired during a targeted cybersecurity attack, which would prevent us from rapidly recovering access to the data required to process orders and continue regular operations. A localized attack affecting the physical data centers used by the Company’s cloud computing platform would affect our ability to continue operations until data can be shifted to a parallel data center. There also exists the remote possibility that our data backup and recovery provider would be affected by the same localized event, further impairing our ability to rapidly restore operations.

Defects or disruptions in our products or services could diminish demand for such products or services and subject us to substantial liability.

As our products and services are complex and incorporate a variety of hardware, proprietary software and third-party software, such products or services may have errors or defects that could result in unanticipated downtime for our subscribers and harm to our reputation and our business. Cloud services frequently contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time to time found defects in, and experienced disruptions to, our products and services and new defects or disruptions may occur in the future. Such defects could also create vulnerabilities that could inadvertently permit access to protected customer data. However, any defect or disruption in our products or services in the future could materially affect our business, reputation, or financial results.

Our supply chains in Hong Kong subject us to risks and uncertainties relating to the laws and regulations of China and the changes in relations between the United States and China.

Under its current leadership, the government of China has been pursuing economic reform policies, including by encouraging foreign trade and investment. However, there is no assurance that the Chinese government will continue to pursue such policies, that such policies will be successfully implemented, that such policies will not be significantly altered, or that such policies will be beneficial to our supply chains in China. China’s system of laws can be unpredictable, especially with respect to foreign investment and foreign trade. The United States government has called for substantial changes to foreign trade policy with China and has raised (as well as has proposed to further raise in the future), tariffs on several Chinese goods. China has retaliated with increased tariffs on United States goods. Moreover, China and Hong Kong’s legislatures have adopted national security laws to substantially change the way Hong Kong has been governed since the territory was handed over by the United Kingdom to China in 1997. The laws increase the power of the central government in Beijing over Hong Kong, limit the civil liberties of residents of Hong Kong and could restrict the ability of businesses in Hong Kong to continue to conduct business or to continue to conduct business as previously conducted. The U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from China and the former presidential administration implemented an executive order revoking Hong Kong’s preferential trade status. The United States currently imposes the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from mainland China. Any further changes in United States trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, including China, resulting in trade wars. Any changes in United States and China relations may have a material adverse effect on our supply chains in China which could materially harm our business and financial condition.

If we fail to keep pace with changing industry technology and consumer preferences, we will be at a competitive disadvantage.

The industry segments in which we are operating evolve rapidly and are characterized by continuous change, including rapid product evolution and rapidly changing industry standards and end-user/consumer preferences. In order to continue to compete effectively in these markets, we need to respond quickly to technological changes and to understand their impact on our customers’ preferences. It may take significant time and resources to respond to these technological changes. If we are unable to do so on a timely basis or within reasonable cost parameters, or if we are unable to appropriately and timely train our employees to operate any of these new systems, our business may suffer. Moreover, developments by others may render our technologies and intended products non-competitive or obsolete, or we may be unable to keep pace with technological developments or other market factors. If any of our competitors implement new technologies before we are able to implement them, those competitors may be able to provide more effective products than ours. Any delay or failure in the introduction of new or enhanced products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, our inability to keep pace with changing industry technology and consumer preferences may cause our inventory to become obsolete at a rate faster than anticipated, which may result in our taking goodwill impairment charges in past or future acquisitions that negatively impact our results of operations. We also may not achieve the benefits that we anticipate from any new system or technology and a failure to do so could result in higher than anticipated costs or could impair our operating results.

If we cannot obtain additional capital required to finance our research and development efforts and sales and marketing efforts, our business may suffer, and our security holders may lose the value of their investment in the Company.

We may require additional funds to further execute our business plan and expand our business. If we are unable to obtain additional capital when needed, we may have to restructure our business or delay or abandon our development and expansion plans. We will have ongoing capital needs as we expand our business. If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible securities, our securityholders’ ownership percentage of our Common Stock will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of our Common Stock. We may have to issue securities that have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our Common Stock. The terms of any additional indebtedness may include restrictive financial and operating covenants that would limit our ability to compete and expand. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing we may need to fund our business, or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us.

We face intense competition in our market, especially from larger, well-established companies, and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position.

A number of other companies engage in the business of developing applications for PERS. The market for such products is intensely competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future from established competitors and new market entrants. Our current competitors include both emerging and developmental stage companies as well as larger companies. Many of our existing competitors have, and some of our potential competitors could have, substantial competitive advantages such as:

In addition, some of our larger competitors have substantially broader product offerings and leverage their relationships based on other products or incorporate functionality into existing products to gain business in a manner that discourages users from purchasing our products, including through selling at zero or negative margins, product bundling, or closed technology platforms. Conditions in our market could change rapidly and significantly as a result of technological advancements, partnering by our competitors or continuing market consolidation. New start-up companies that innovate and large competitors that are making significant investments in research and development may invent similar or superior products and technologies that compete with our products and technology. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources.

Our markets are subject to technological change and our success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products.

Each of the governmental and commercial markets for our products is characterized by:

Our success will be dependent in part on the design and development of new products. To develop new products and designs for our target markets, we must develop, gain access to, and use leading technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner and continue to expand our technical and design expertise. The product development process is time-consuming and costly, and there can be no assurance that product development will be successfully completed, that necessary regulatory clearances or approvals will be granted on a timely basis, or at all, or that the potential products will achieve market acceptance. Our failure to develop, obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals for, or successfully market, potential new products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Claims by others that we infringe on their intellectual property rights could increase our expenses and delay the development of our business. As a result, our business and financial condition could be materially harmed.

Our industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents as well as frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our products do not and will not infringe on issued patents, patents that may be issued in the future, or other intellectual property rights of others.

We do not have the resources to conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringe on patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed.

We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology infringe on their patents or other intellectual property rights. Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract our management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and, in any case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights adequately.

Our ability to compete for government contracts is affected, in part, by our ability to protect our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and non-disclosure and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite these efforts, we cannot be certain that the steps we take to protect our proprietary information will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or protect that proprietary information. The validity and breadth of claims in technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. Nor can we assure you that, if challenged, our patents will be found to be valid or enforceable, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business. In addition, the enforcement of laws protecting intellectual property may be inadequate to protect our technology and proprietary information.

We may not have the resources to assert or protect our rights to our patents and other intellectual property. Any litigation or proceedings relating to our intellectual property, whether or not meritorious, will be costly and may divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel.

We also rely on other unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how and no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary technology, techniques or processes, that such technology or know-how will not be disclosed or that we can meaningfully protect our rights to such unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, or know-how. We require members of the Board, employees and contractors to sign non-disclosure agreements There can be no assurance that such non-disclosure agreements will provide adequate protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary know-how.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain new patents.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patent and trade secret protection for proprietary technology that we currently possess or that we may develop in the future. No assurance can be given that any pending or future patent applications will be issued to us as patents, that the scope of any patent protection obtained will be sufficient to exclude competitors or provide competitive advantages to us, that any of our patents will be held valid if subsequently challenged or that others will not claim rights in or ownership of the patents and other proprietary rights held by us.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our competitors have not or will not independently develop technology, processes or products that are substantially similar or superior to ours, or that they will not duplicate any of our products or design around any patents issued or that may be issued in the future to us. In addition, whether or not patents are issued to us, others may hold or receive patents which contain claims having a scope that covers products or processes developed by us.

We may not have the resources to adequately defend any patent infringement litigation or proceedings. Any such litigation or proceedings, whether or not determined in our favor or settled by us, is costly and may divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. In addition, we may be required to obtain licenses to patents or proprietary rights from third parties. There can be no assurance that such licenses will be available on acceptable terms if at all. If we do not obtain required licenses, we could encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture, or sale of products requiring such licenses could be foreclosed. Accordingly, challenges to our intellectual property, whether or not ultimately successful, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our future success depends on the continued service of management, engineering and sales and marketing personnel and our ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel.

Our success depends, to a significant extent, upon the efforts and abilities of members of senior management. We have not entered into employment agreements with most of our key employees, which we believe presents a greater risk of losing some of these key employees than if we had employment agreements with them. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior management or other key employees could adversely affect our business. There is intense competition for qualified employees in our industry, particularly for highly skilled design, applications, engineering, and salespeople. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain developers, managers, or other qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business or to replace qualified individuals who may leave us at any time in the future. Our anticipated growth is expected to place increased demands on our resources and will likely require the addition of new management and engineering staff as well as the development of additional expertise by existing management employees. If we lose the services of or fail to recruit engineers or other technical and management personnel, our business could be materially harmed.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and other applicable securities rules and regulations. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual and current reports with the SEC with respect to our business and operating results. Compliance with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs, makes some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly, and increases demand on our systems and resources.

As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition is more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert resources of our management and harm our business and operating results.

Periods of rapid growth and expansion could place a significant strain on our resources, including our employee base, which could negatively impact our operating results.

We may experience periods of rapid growth and expansion, which may place a significant strain and demands on our management, our operational and financial resources, customer operations, research and development, sales and marketing, administrative, and other resources. To manage our possible future growth effectively, we will be required to continue to improve our management, operational and financial systems. Future growth would also require us to successfully hire, train, motivate and manage our employees. In addition, our continued growth and the evolution of our business plan will require significant additional management, technical and administrative resources. If we are unable to manage our growth successfully, we may not be able to effectively manage the growth and evolution of our current business and our operating results could suffer.

We depend on contract manufacturers, and our production and products could be harmed if they are unable to meet our volume and quality requirements and alternative sources are not available.

We rely on contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. If such services by any contract manufacturer become unavailable, we would be required to identify and enter into an agreement with a new contract manufacturer or take such manufacturing in-house. The loss of any of our contract manufacturers could significantly disrupt production as well as increase the cost of production, thereby increasing the prices of our products. These changes could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are presently a small company with limited resources and personnel, which could affect our ability to maintain a comprehensive system of internal controls. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we would not be able to accurately report our financial results on a timely basis or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our Common Stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results would be harmed. We may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement. For example, because of size and limited resources, our external auditors have determined that we lack the personnel and infrastructure necessary to properly carry out an independent audit function. Although we believe that we have adequate internal controls for a company with our size and resources, we are not certain that the measures that we have in place will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, would harm our operating results, or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls would also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would have a negative effect on our company and the trading price of our Common Stock.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of December 31, 2023, we remediated certain matters that constituted material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. However, if the measures taken to remediate these weaknesses prove to be insufficient, or if new deficiencies arise, we may experience inaccuracies in our financial reporting, delays in preparing our financial statements, or undetected fraud, all of which could adversely impact our business operations, investor confidence, and the trading price of our Common Stock.

Due to recent disruption in the financial markets and global economic conditions, our business, liquidity and financial results could be materially adversely affected.

Recent disruption in the financial markets, particularly the volatility of the stock market and the scarcity of capital available to smaller businesses, could adversely affect us, primarily through limiting our access to capital and disrupting our clients’ businesses. In addition, continuation or worsening of general market conditions in economies important to our businesses may adversely affect our clients’ level of spending and ability to obtain financing, leading to us being unable to generate the levels of funding and sales that we require. Current and continued disruption of global economic conditions, including to the financial markets, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

We may seek or need to raise additional funds. Our ability to obtain financing for general corporate and commercial purposes or acquisitions depends on operating and financial performance and is also subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. We face the risk that we may not be able to access various capital sources, including investors, lenders, or suppliers. The global credit markets and the financial services industry continue to experience turmoil characterized by the bankruptcy, failure or sale of various businesses and institutions. As a result of such disruption, our ability to raise capital may be severely restricted and the cost of raising capital through such markets or privately may increase significantly at a time when we would like, or need, to do so. Failure to access the equity or credit markets from any of these sources could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Any of these events could have an impact on our flexibility to fund our business operations, make capital expenditures, pursue additional expansion, or acquisition opportunities, or make another discretionary use of cash and could adversely impact our financial results.

The uncertainty caused by inflation, conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia in Europe and Israel and Hamas in the Middle East, and the foreign and domestic government sanctions imposed on Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine, and global supply chain disruptions have also caused greater volatility in the financial markets. A change or disruption in the global financial markets for any reason, including adverse public health developments, may cause consumers, businesses, and governments to defer purchases in response to tighter credit, decreased cash availability and declining consumer confidence. Accordingly, demand for our products could decrease and differ materially from current expectations. Further, some of our customers may require substantial financing in order to fund their operations and make purchases from us. The inability of these customers to obtain sufficient credit to finance purchases of our products and meet their payment obligations to us or possible insolvencies of our customers could result in decreased customer demand, an impaired ability for us to collect on outstanding accounts receivable, significant delays in accounts receivable payments, and significant write-offs of accounts receivable, each of which could adversely impact our financial results.

Risks Related to Our Products

The steps that we have taken to protect our technology may be inadequate to prevent others from using what we regard as our technology to compete with us.

We do not generally conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes on the patents that are held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies.

We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights in the future. Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of our management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay damages. In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or seek to obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and in any case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our products and technologies may not be accepted by the intended commercial consumers of our products, which could harm our future financial performance.

There can be no assurance that our PERS will achieve wide acceptance by commercial consumers of such healthcare products, and/or market acceptance generally. The degree of market acceptance for products and services based on our technology will also depend upon a number of factors, including the receipt and timing of regulatory approvals, if any, and the establishment and demonstration of the ability of our proposed device to provide the level of confidence and independence in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost. Our failure to develop a commercial product to compete successfully with existing medical technologies could delay, limit, or prevent market acceptance. Moreover, the market for new PERS is largely undeveloped, and we believe that the overall demand for such response systems technology will depend significantly upon public perception of the need for such a level of assistance. There can be no assurance that the public will believe that our products are necessary or that the medical industry will actively pursue our technology as a means to solve such issues. Long-term market acceptance of our products and services will depend, in part, on the capabilities, operating features and price of our products and technologies as compared to those of other available products and services. As a result, there can be no assurance that currently available products, or products under development for commercialization, will be able to achieve market penetration, revenue growth or profitability.

Our PERS devices may become obsolete if we do not effectively respond to rapid technological change on a timely basis.

The medical and two-way voice communication industries are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to keep pace with these changes, our business may be harmed. Products using new technologies, or emerging industry standards, could make our technologies less attractive. In addition, we may face unforeseen problems when developing our products, which could harm our business. Furthermore, our competitors may have access to technologies not available to us, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or at a more competitive cost.

Our business model is evolving. Because of the evolving nature of healthcare technology, it is difficult to predict the size of this specialized market, the rate at which the market for our PERS will grow or be accepted, if at all, or whether other healthcare technologies will render our applications less competitive or obsolete. If the market for our healthcare products fails to develop or grows slower than anticipated, we would be significantly and materially adversely affected.

If our products and services do not achieve market acceptance, we may never have significant revenues or any profits.

If we are unable to operate our business as contemplated by our business model or if the assumptions underlying our business model prove to be unfounded, we could fail to achieve our revenue and earnings goals within the time we have projected, or at all, which would have a detrimental effect on our business. As a result, the value of any investment in our Company could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

We may fail to create new products, provide new services, and enter new markets, which would have an adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Our future success depends in part on our ability to develop and market our technology other than those currently intended. If we fail in these goals, our business strategy and ability to generate revenues and cash flow would be significantly impaired. We intend to expend significant resources to develop new technology, but the successful development of new technology cannot be predicted, and we cannot guarantee we will succeed in these goals.

Our products may have defects, which could damage our reputation, decrease market acceptance of our products, cause us to lose customers and revenue and result in costly litigation or liability.

Our products may contain defects for many reasons, including defective design or manufacture, defective material, or software interoperability issues. Products as complex as those we offer, frequently develop, or contain undetected defects or errors. Despite testing defects or errors may arise in our existing or new products, which could result in loss of revenue, market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation and increased service and maintenance cost. Defects or errors in our products and solutions might discourage customers from purchasing future products. Often, these defects are not detected until after the products have been shipped. If any of our products contain defects or perceived defects or have reliability, quality or compatibility problems or perceived problems, our reputation might be damaged significantly, we could lose or experience a delay in market acceptance of the affected product or products and we may be unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers. In addition, these defects could interrupt or delay sales. In the event of an actual or perceived defect or other problem, we may need to invest significant capital, technical, managerial, and other resources to investigate and correct the potential defect or problem and potentially divert these resources from other development efforts. If we are unable to provide a solution to the potential defect or problem that is acceptable to our customers, we may be required to incur substantial product recall, repair, and replacement and even litigation costs. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We provide warranties on certain product sales and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires us to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. We will establish warranty reserves based on our best estimates of warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior twelve months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. In addition, because our customers rely on secure authentication and identification of cardholders to prevent unauthorized access to programs, PCs, networks, or facilities, a malfunction of or design defect in its products (or even a perceived defect) could result in legal or warranty claims against us for damages resulting from security breaches. If such claims are adversely decided against us, the potential liability could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Furthermore, the possible publicity associated with any such claim, whether or not decided against us, could adversely affect our reputation. In addition, a well-publicized security breach involving smart card-based or other security systems could adversely affect the market’s perception of products like ours in general, or our products in particular, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to our products. Any of the foregoing events could cause demand for our products to decline, which would cause its business and operating results to suffer.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the sections entitled “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in this, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21(E) of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These forward-looking statements include, without limitation: statements regarding proposed new products or services; statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of our management’s goals and objectives; statements concerning our competitive environment, availability of resources and regulation; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.

Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, any supplements or amendments thereto, including, among other things:

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. For further information about these and other risks, uncertainties and factors affecting our business and prospects, please review the disclosures contained in our filings made with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement or information speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements or risk factors, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of us or our subsidiaries, whether as a result of new information, future events or changed circumstances or for any other reason after the date of such forward-looking statements or risk factors. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the market in which we operate, including our market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on information from various sources, on assumptions that we have made based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our products. These data sources involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.

We have not independently verified any third-party information. While we believe the market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this prospectus is generally reliable, and reasonable, such information is inherently imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors,” “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this prospectus, any supplements or amendments thereto. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us. 

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $4.1 million (assuming the sale of all of the Units offered hereby, at an assumed public offering price of $1.44 per Unit, the closing sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on January 15, 2025, and assuming no sale of any Pre-Funded Units and no exercise of the Warrants or PA Warrants (if any) issued in connection with this offering), after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will only receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants (if any Pre-Funded Units are sold) and PA Warrants (if any PA Warrants are issued) issuable in connection with this offering if such Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants or PA Warrants are exercised at their assumed exercise prices of $1.44 per share, $0.001 per share and $1.80 per share, respectively, and the holders of such Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and/or PA Warrants pay the exercise price of such Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and/or PA Warrants in cash. Additionally, because this is a best-efforts offering and there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, the placement agent’s fees and net proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

A $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $1.44 per Unit would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $1.7 million, using the same assumptions set forth above.

Similarly, a 100,000 increase (decrease) in the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us by approximately $0.1 million, using the same assumptions set forth above.

We intend to use the proceeds of this offering for sales and marketing support of our legacy and new products, working capital and general corporate purposes.

The precise amount and timing of the application of such net proceeds will depend upon our funding requirements and the availability and cost of other funds. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and it is possible that we may allocate the proceeds differently than investors in the offering may desire or that we may fail to maximize the return on these proceeds. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of proceeds from this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will be at the discretion of our Board, are subject to the terms of the Series C Certificate of Designations and the dividend payments made to holders of our shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and will depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our future debt agreements, and other factors that our Board may deem relevant. The Series F Certificate of Designation required us to pay dividends on our Series F Preferred Stock commencing on the date of issuance of such shares, which were payable until the earlier of the date on which such shares were converted or twelve months from such date of issuance, as applicable. As of the date of this prospectus, we are no longer obligated to declare and pay dividends on outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, as such shares were issued over twelve months prior to such date. See “Risk Factors – We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future; you should not invest in our securities if you expect dividends.”

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our actual cash and cash equivalents and our capitalization as of September 30, 2024:

You should read this information in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes appearing in this prospectus. The information below has also been provided on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give further effect to this offering.

A $0.50 increase in the assumed public offering price of $1.44 per Unit would increase cash and cash equivalents, working capital, total assets, and total stockholders’ equity by approximately $1.7 million, assuming the number of Units and Pre-Funded Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming the sale of all Units offered hereby, no sale of any Pre-Funded Units and no exercise of the Warrants or PA Warrants (if any) issued in connection with this offering. An increase (decrease) in the number of Units that we are offering of 100,000 Units would increase (decrease) cash and cash equivalents, working capital, total assets, and total stockholders’ equity by approximately $0.1 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming the sale of all Units offered hereby, no sale of any Pre-Funded Units and no exercise of the Warrants or PA Warrants (if any) issued in connection with this offering and that the assumed public offering price of such Units remains as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

The total number of shares of our Common Stock reflected in the discussion and tables above is based on 474,541 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024, which number of outstanding shares excludes as of such date: (i) the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,604,036 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.45 per share; (ii) the exercise of outstanding options to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,165 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $153.03 per share; (iii) the conversion of 106,333 outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock into 107 shares of Common Stock; and (iv) the exercise of any Warrants, as well as the Pre-Funded Warrants or PA Warrants, if any, issued in connection with this offering.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Results of Operations

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, and Gross Profit

We experienced a 14% increase in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2023. We experienced a 2% increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2023. The primary increase in revenue was due to higher sales of our Guardian Alert 911 Plus hardware and the new revenue stream in 2024 from our recently released Freedom Alert Mini.

No material fluctuations were noted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in gross profit margin, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2023. The increase in cost of goods sold for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2023 were consistent with increases in revenue.

Operating Expenses

Direct Operating Cost

The $0.1 million increase in direct operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and related expenses and direct operating fees incurred from an increase in sales through Amazon.com. The $0.2 million increase in direct operating cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by an increase in personnel and related expenses, direct operating fees incurred from sales through Amazon.com and consultant fees.

Advertising Costs

The $0.1 million and $0.2 million increase in advertising costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by the cost of advertising related to the sale of our hardware through Amazon.com and a continued expansion in social media advertising.

Selling and Marketing

The $37.3 thousand decrease in selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by a decrease in personnel. The $0.2 million increase in selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2023, was driven by consultants and their related expenses and a focus on recruitment expenses for additional personnel.

Research and Development

The $0.1 million and $0.4 million decrease in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2023, was driven by an increase in capitalization of salaries and wages due to the development of new hardware and software in the pipeline and a reduction in product development and engineering costs as new products have been released.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs decreased $0.2 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2023, which was driven by lower recruiting, accounting costs, consulting costs and legal fees.

Other Income

During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million in other income, respectively, which was driven by the generation of interest income from its cash balances and $39.6 thousand, which was driven by the receipt of a refund from the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) in connection with our application of an Employee Retention Credit for businesses that had employees and were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.4 million in other income, respectively, which was driven by the generation of interest income from its cash balances and $0.2 million, which was driven by the receipt of a refund from the IRS in connection to our application of an Employee Retention Credit for businesses that had employees and were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

The Company generated an operating loss of $5.5 million and a net loss of $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of $5.1 million.

Given our cash position as of September 30, 2024, and our projected cash flow from operations, we believe we will have sufficient capital to sustain operations for the twelve months from the date of the filing of our interim condensed financial statements. We may also raise funds through equity or debt offerings to accelerate the execution of our long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize our new products.

Cash Flows

Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $3.6 million. Our primary ongoing uses of operating cash relate to payments to vendors, salaries and related expenses for our employees and consulting and professional fees. Our vendors and consultants generally provide us with normal trade payment terms (net 30).

Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased $23.2 thousand in equipment and development cost for our website and invested $1.0 million in product development and software development. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased $51.1 thousand in equipment and invested $1.0 million in product development and software development.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we completed a registered public offering of units and pre-funded units, consisting of common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants, whereby we received gross proceeds of $4.5 million and paid fees of $0.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we completed a registered public offering of units and pre-funded units, consisting of common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants, whereby we received gross proceeds of $5.2 million and paid fees of $0.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we paid Series C Preferred Stock dividends amounting to $0.2 million each period.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that our business has been modestly impacted by domestic inflationary trends during the past two fiscal years, which have been offset with selective price increases and productivity improvements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2023, compared with the year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, and Gross Profit

We experienced a 17% decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Results in the prior year period included sales of Freedom Alert 911+ 4G units replacing older 3G units no longer supported by national cellular network carriers, a one-time sales opportunity.

Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2023, was 67%, up from 61% in the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of improvements in the Company’s supply chain management, including a return to transpacific shipping (versus air freight) from our Asia based contract manufacturers and lower fulfilment costs to our customers.

Operating Expenses

Direct Operating Cost

The $0.3 million decrease in direct operating cost for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, was primarily driven by a reduction in warranty claims accepted by the Company related to the sunsetting of 3G cellular support by the national cellular network carriers.

Advertising Costs

The $0.2 million increase in advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, was driven by the initiation and continuation in 2023 of social media advertising and web-based advertising to support our eCommerce platform and Amazon.com business.

Selling and Marketing

The $1.1 million increase in selling and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, was driven by hiring additional sales personnel and their related expenses.

Research and Development

The Company entered calendar year 2023 with new products in the product pipeline and ended the year with the release of two of those new products. The nature of development work completed in 2023 resulted in more costs being capitalized versus 2022. As a result, $1.6 million of development work was capitalized in 2023 versus $1.0 million of development work was capitalized in 2022.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs decreased $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the December 31, 2022 period. This was mostly driven by lower consulting costs as we were able to hire additional full-time employees.

Goodwill Impairment

The Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill and assessed trends of market capitalization for the year ended December 31, 2023, which showed declines throughout the year compared to prior year levels and determined that the carrying value of its goodwill exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash, impairment charge to write down goodwill by $7.8 million.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that there were no indicators present to suggest that it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill was less than the carrying amount.

Other Income and Expense

During the fiscal year ended 2023, the Company recorded $0.2 million of interest income generated from its cash balances and the receipt of a $0.2 million refund from the Internal Revenue Service in connection with our application of an employee retention credit for businesses that had employees who were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.3 million, or 2.09% of the loss before income taxes, which differed from the tax benefit at the 21% statutory rate, primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a tax expense of $0.1 million, or (2.02)% of the loss before income taxes, which differed from the tax benefit at the 21% statutory rate primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

The Company generated an operating loss of $15.3 million and a net loss of $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.4 million. At December 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $6.0 million, compared to working capital as of December 31, 2022 of $7.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received gross proceeds of $6.4 million from the issuance of Common Stock, warrants, as well as from the exercise of Common Stock purchase warrants in connection with a warrant inducement transaction.

Given our cash position as of December 31, 2023 and our projected cash flow from operations, we believe we will have sufficient capital to sustain operations for the next year. We may also raise funds through equity or debt offerings to accelerate the execution of our long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize our new products.

Cash Flows

Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $4.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $3.6 million. Our primary ongoing uses of operating cash relate to payments to vendors, salaries and related expenses for our employees and consulting and professional fees. Our vendors and consultants generally provide us with normal trade payment terms (net 30).

Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we invested $0.1 million in equipment and website development and invested $1.3 million in product and software development. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we purchased $0.3 million in equipment and website development and invested $1.0 million in product and software development.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

During the fiscal years ended 2023 and 2022, we paid Series C Preferred Stock dividends amounting to $0.3 million. During the fiscal year ended 2023, we completed a registered public offering of Common Stock and warrants, whereby we received proceeds of $5.2 million and paid fees of $0.8 million. In addition, we received proceeds of $1.2 million and paid fees of $0.2 million for the inducement transaction whereby holders exercised their warrants into Common Stock.

Business Outlook

Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on conditions in the U.S. in general. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected our results of operations as we experienced meaningful reductions in customer demand for our products and services. During this period, the Company continued to identify and assess risks and modify operating plans following guidance from national, state, and local governmental and health authorities. Although we continued to experience minimal supply chain disruption, customer demand was noticeably weaker. During this time period, we took several proactive measures to protect the Company’s balance sheet and strengthen its liquidity position, including making additional cost reductions through selected headcount reductions, discretionary spending reductions, corporate travel suspension, and service provider and other expense reductions.

In both the first and second quarter of 2022, we had to deal with cellular carriers sunsetting their support of 3G, making some of our products unusable. For affected customers whose 3G PERS units were still under warranty, the Company chose to provide a 4G replacement unit at no cost to the customer. Customers whose 3G PERS units were outside of warranty were sold a 4G replacement unit or in the case of veterans, obtained their replacement unit through the VHA.

In 2023, we began to build a durable business model, a recurring revenue base to generate significant cash flow, to invest in efficient growth and to develop innovative software and services solutions to expand into the broader Caring Economy. We invested in a number of new verticals in the consumer, pro-care/healthcare and corporate benefits lines of business and expanded further into our established government line of business. Although we have made strides in expanding, the Company did face a drop in revenue mainly due to the sunsetting of the 3G PERS units to a 4G replacement unit in 2022 that did not occur in 2023.

We believe that our business has been modestly impacted by inflationary trends during the past three fiscal years. However, continued domestic inflation may increase our cost of fulfilment in fiscal year 2024 through higher labor and shipping costs, as well as our operating and overhead expenses. Should inflation become a continuing factor in the worldwide economy, it may increase the cost of purchasing products from our contract manufacturers in Asia, as well as the cost of certain raw materials, component parts and labor used in the production of our products. We have been able to maintain our profit margins through higher productivity, better supply chain management, efficiency improvements, and cost reduction programs.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions could include: the carrying amount and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; assumptions used in the preparation of the goodwill impairment test; the valuation allowance for credit losses; the fair value of financial instruments; contingent considerations arising from business combinations; income tax recoverability of deferred tax assets, and provisions, among others.

Valuation and Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the net assets acquired. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter, and in between evaluates if events or circumstances indicate whether fair value may be less than its carrying value. If an initial assessment indicates it is more likely than not goodwill may be impaired, it is evaluated by comparing estimated fair value to carrying value. An impairment charge would be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Estimated fair values are developed primarily under an income approach that discounts estimated future cash flows using risk-adjusted interest rates, as well as earnings multiples or other techniques as warranted. Estimating short-term revenue growth and the discount rates used to determine the fair value requires management judgement and estimation of uncertainties.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, our observance of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Please see Note 4 to our financial statements for a more complete description of our significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues primarily consist of product sales to either end customers or to distributors. The Company’s revenues are derived from contracts with customers, which are in most cases customer purchase orders. For each contract, the promise to transfer the control of the products, each of which is individually distinct, is considered to be the identified performance obligation. As part of the consideration promised in each contract, the Company evaluates the customer’s credit risk. Our contracts do not have any financing components, as payment terms are generally due upfront. The Company’s products are almost always sold at fixed prices. In determining the transaction price, we evaluate whether the price is subject to any refunds, due to product returns or adjustments due to volume discounts, rebates, or price concessions to determine the net consideration we expect to be entitled to. The Company’s sales are recognized at a point-in-time under the core principle of recognizing revenue when control transfers to the customer, which generally occurs when the Company ships or delivers the product from its fulfilment center to our customers, when our customer accepts and has legal title of the goods, and the Company has a present right to payment for such goods. Based on the respective contract terms, most of our contract revenues are recognized either (i) upon shipment based on free on board (“FOB”) shipping point, or (ii) when the product arrives at its destination.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company released new offerings which include leasing hardware coupled with monthly subscription services. We account for the revenue from its lease contracts by utilizing the single component accounting policy. This policy requires the Company to account for, by class of underlying asset, the lease component and non-lease component(s) associated with each lease as a single component if two criteria are met: (1) the timing and pattern of the lease component and the non-lease component are the same and (2) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease, if accounted for separately. The Company has determined that the leased hardware meets the criteria to be an operating lease and has the same timing and pattern of transfer as the monthly subscription services. The Company has elected the lessor practical expedient within ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) and recognizes, measures, presents, and discloses the revenue for the new offering based upon the predominant component, either the lease or non-lease component. The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for its leased hardware for which it has estimated that the non-lease components of the new offering is the predominant component of the contract.

Inventory

The Company performs regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand through periodic cycle counts and a comprehensive year-end inventory count and evaluates the realizable value of its inventories. The Company will adjust the carrying value of the inventory as necessary with the write-down for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory by comparing the individual inventory parts to forecasted product demand or production requirements. The inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method.

BUSINESS

LogicMark, Inc. provides PERS, health communications devices, and IoT technology that creates a connected care platform. The Company’s devices provide people with the ability to receive care at home and age independently. The Company’s PERS devices incorporate two-way voice communication technology directly in the medical alert pendant and provide life-saving technology at a customer-friendly price point aimed at everyday consumers. These PERS technologies as well as other personal safety devices are sold direct-to-consumer through the Company’s eCommerce website and Amazon.com, through resellers, as well as directly to the VHA. The Company was awarded the GSA Agreement that enables the Company to distribute its products to federal, state, and local governments.

Overview

LogicMark builds technology to remotely check, manage and monitor a loved one’s health and safety. The Company is focused on modernizing remote monitoring to help people stay safe and live independently longer. We believe there are five trends driving the demand for better remote monitoring systems:

Together, we believe these trends have produced a large and growing market opportunity for LogicMark. The Company enjoys a strong base of business with the VHA and plans to expand to other government agencies after being awarded the five-year GSA Agreement in July 2021, which is renewable for up to 25 years.

The PERS Opportunity

PERS, also known as a medical alert or medical alarm system, is designed to detect a threat that requires attention and then immediately contacts a trusted care giver and/or the emergency medical workforce. Unlike conventional alarm systems which consist of a transmitter and are activated in the case of an emergency, PERS transmits signals to an alarm monitoring medical team, which then departs for the location where the alarm was activated. These types of medical alarms are traditionally utilized by the disabled, elderly or those living alone.

The PERS market is generally divided into direct-to-consumer and healthcare customer channels. With the advent of new technologies, demographic changes, and our five previously stated trends in healthcare, an expanded opportunity exists for LogicMark to provide at-home and on-the-go health and safety solutions to both customer channels.

For LogicMark, growing the healthcare opportunity relies on partnering with organizations such as government, Medicaid, hospitals, insurance companies, managed care organizations, affiliates and dealers. Partners can provide leads at no cost for new and replacement customers, have significant buying power and can provide collaboration on product research and development.

Our longstanding partnership with the VHA is a good example. LogicMark has sold over 850,000 PERS devices since 2012, of which over 500,000 devices have been sold to the U.S. government. The signing of the GSA Agreement in 2021 further strengthened our partnership with the government and expanded our ability to capture new sales. We envision a continued focus on growing the healthcare channel during 2025 given lower acquisition costs and higher customer unit economics.

In addition to the healthcare channel, LogicMark also expects to continue growth in sales volume through its direct-to-consumer channel. It is estimated that approximately 70% of PERS customers fall into the direct-to-consumer category. Family members regularly conduct research and purchase PERS devices or sign up for monthly subscription services for their loved ones through online websites or phone apps. The Company expects traditionally higher customer acquisition costs to be balanced by higher recurring revenue.

With the growth in IoT devices, data driven solutions using AI and ML will help guide the growth of the PERS industry. In both the healthcare and direct-to-consumer channels, product offerings can include 24/7 emergency response, fall detection, location tracking and geo-fencing, activity monitoring, medication management, caregiver and patient portals, concierge services, telehealth, vitals monitoring, and customer dashboards. These product offerings are primarily delivered via mobile and home-base equipment. LogicMark will also continue to pursue research and development partnerships to grow our product offering.

Our PERS Products

LogicMark produces a range of products within the PERS market as a result of the Company’s 2016 acquisition of LogicMark, LLC, the former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and now a division of the Company. Historically, the Company has differentiated itself by offering “no monthly fee” products, which only require a one-time purchase expense, instead of a contract with recurring monthly charges.

The “no monthly fee” products contact family, friends or 911 directly, eliminating the recurring monthly fee from a monitoring center, making it one of the most cost-effective options on the market. LogicMark offers both traditional (i.e., landline), mPERS (i.e., cell-based), and Internet (i.e., Wi-Fi-based) solutions. Our no monthly fee products are sold primarily to the VHA.

In the past, LogicMark has offered monitored products that were exclusively sold to consumers by monitored resellers and distributors. LogicMark sold its devices to the resellers and distributors, who in turn offered the monitoring component to their consumers as part of their product and service offerings. The resellers would own the device and then lease the PERS hardware to the consumer. The resellers would charge the consumers a monthly monitoring fee for the lease of the PERS equipment and associated monitoring service. These products were monitored by a third-party central station. During 2023, the Company began selling the LifeSentry Monitored PERS products direct-to-consumers through the Company’s website. In addition, the Company began selling the Freedom Alert Plus and Freedom Alert Mini in the last quarter of 2023 whereby the Company would lease the PERS equipment and charge the monthly monitoring fee for the monitoring services. In 2024, the Company began selling the Freedom Alert Max, a full fledged cellular phone, which detects falls and sudden movements, instantly triggering an alert for help.

In early 2024, the Company released Aster, an on-the-go personal safety app that provides 24/7 monitoring along with a Bluetooth button in order to maximize ease of use and convenience.

Industry Competition

LogicMark is focused on expanding its market position through both the direct-to-consumer and healthcare channels. The Company enjoys a strong business relationship with the VHA, through which it serves veterans who suffer from chronic conditions that often require emergency assistance. We believe that this relationship, coupled with the GSA Agreement, gives LogicMark a solid foundation to grow its healthcare channel business.

As technology and innovation have improved, barriers to entry have been lowered in the PERS sector. This has resulted in a highly fragmented market with many competitors, mostly privately held, who are solely dedicated to providing PERS. Other competitors, many of which are divisions of large publicly traded companies, offer PERS solutions in an effort to leverage their call center operations in place for other parts of their business. Competition is also found from companies in the healthcare, telecommunications and home and commercial security sectors.

Competitors may have greater financial, technical, and personnel resources, broader distribution networks, a larger portfolio of intellectual property and customers. Success in acquiring new customers is dependent on a variety of factors, including brand and reputation, market visibility, service and product capabilities, quality, price, and the ability to identify and sell to prospective customers. Our approach is to grow our product capabilities as well as key partnerships. The Company has switched from a reactive holistic personal safety perspective approach to using data to anticipate potential problems. These steps are expected to help us benefit from the favorable trends and growing demand for PERS in the direct-to-consumer and healthcare channels. In particular, the growing demand from the aging baby boomer generation, of which 10,000 boomers turn 65 each day.

Our Care Economy and Business Strategy

2022 was a rebuilding year for the Company after the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020 and 2021 led to VHA hospital and clinic closures and their refocus away from patient long-term care to dealing with the immediacy of COVID-19 infections. In 2021, the Company also underwent a change in management and with that a change in business strategy. In 2022, we continued our plan to establish a foundation for future growth by building a durable model, with a recurring revenue base to generate significant cash flow, and by developing innovative software and services solutions to expand into the broader care economy. In 2023, we invested in a number of new verticals, which included the release of our first direct-to-consumer monitored product and our Freedom Alert Mini, which is designed for our established government business. In 2024, we invested and released our first device, the Freedom Alert Max, that comes equipped with cellular service, proprietary fall detection, as well as GPS location.

The number of Americans 65 and older make up more than 23% of the US population (over 80 million people) and more than 90% of those over 50 would like to age at home. We believe that our existing PERS and medical alert systems provide this “silver tsunami” of seniors seeking to continue living independently, the ability to stay safe, comfortable, and content in their own home. Our customers’ increasingly mobile and active lifestyles have created new opportunities for us in the fast-growing market for self-monitored products and mobile technology. We plan to continue to grow our unmonitored PERS business, which for those who are on low or fixed income and/or require long charge devices, is a cost effective and potentially life-saving product. However, we continue to see strong opportunities to build and expand our business into monitored services. We plan to continue expanding our cell-based (mPERS) product line to provide a multi-layer safety support using CPaaS, LogicMark’s Caring Platform as a Service, which allows us to integrate with various third-party connected and wearable devices so that we can better serve our customers whether they are at home or on-the-go.

We plan to continue to expand our business into the “aging with independence” market as well as expanding further into the Caring Economy by providing enhanced products and services that make the caring for loved ones easier. One in four millennials as well as more than half of GenX are taking care of loved ones with very little, but much needed, assistance. Further, as the in-home professional care business continues to expand, we believe this is an opportunity for LogicMark to extend its products and services to meet the increasing needs of the growing Caring Economy. We intend to do so by expanding the tools for caretakers to better manage both the care of their elderly living independent lives, and to provide mobile and personal safety to others in their care circle so they too can feel safe on the go. We want our products and services to be available for anyone with personal safety concerns, including children or students who are navigating new environments and social situations for the first time.

Our Intellectual Property

Our ability to compete effectively depends to a significant extent on our ability to protect our proprietary information. We currently rely and will continue to rely primarily on patents and trade secret laws and confidentiality procedures to protect our intellectual property rights. Since the Company’s acquisition in 2016, we have filed fifty-four new patent applications, twenty-three of which have been awarded to date.

We enter into confidentiality agreements with all our employees and consultants and maintain control over access to and distribution of our technology, software, and other proprietary information.

Government Regulations 

In order to sell any products to the U.S. government, companies are required to obtain approval from the GSA and must obtain a GSA authorization number. The Company obtained GSA approval to sell its products to the federal government when it was awarded the five-year GSA Agreement in July 2021. Our U.S. government contract is subject to a large number of federal regulations and oversight requirements. Compliance with the array of government regulations requires extensive record keeping and the maintenance of complex policies and procedures relating to all aspects of our business, as well as to work performed for us by any subcontractors. In addition, government contracts are subject to audits and oversight by government inspectors at various points in the contracting process.

In addition, our devices are required to meet Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) approval, specifically relating to FCC Part 15 requirements for Class B digital devices. FCC Part 15 covers the regulations under which a device emits radio frequency energy by radiation, and the technical specifications, administrative requirements, and other conditions relating to the marketing of FCC Part 15 devices. The FCC’s definition of a Class B Digital Device is one which is marketed for use in a residential environment, and FCC Part 15 compliance means that our devices may not cause harmful interference, must accept interference from other devices, and all device changes must be approved by the manufacturer. All of our devices are FCC Part 15 compliant Class B digital devices. All of our devices are manufactured to never exceed FCC specific absorption rate (SAR) limitations for exposure to radio frequency emissions for body worn devices.

Effective February 28, 2022, the Company changed its name from Nxt-ID, Inc. to LogicMark, Inc. The Company has realigned its business strategy with that of its former LogicMark, LLC operating division, managing contract manufacturing and distribution of non-monitored and monitored PERS sold through the VHA, direct-to-consumers, and resellers.

On June 1, 2023, the Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada by merging its predecessor entity with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, LogicMark, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of June 1, 2023. Such Nevada entity survived and succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of LogicMark, Inc., the Delaware corporation that existed immediately prior to the effective date of such agreement.

Director Independence

As the Company’s Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq, the Company’s determination of independence of its directors is made using the definition of “independent director” contained in Rule 5605(a)(2) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Rules”). The Board determines whether directors have a direct or indirect material relationship with us. In making independence determinations for the Company’s directors, the Board observes criteria set forth by the Nasdaq Rules and reviews whether a director has a relationship with the Company that would impair such director’s independence. Based on this review, our Board has determined that Dr. Curtis, Mr. Pettitt, Ms. Gutierrez, and Ms. Schneider currently qualify as independent directors under the Nasdaq Rules. Our Board has concluded that none of these directors possessed or currently possesses any relationship that could impair his, her or their judgment in connection with his, her or their duties and responsibilities as a director or that could otherwise be a direct or indirect material relationship under applicable Nasdaq Rules.
