2. Going Concern

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $2.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.2 million and had a net usage of cash in operating activities of $3.2 million. In addition, the Company had a working capital of $2.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, we believe we have sufficient cash and marketable securities to operate our business plan into 2025.

On February 15, 2024, the Company, entered into subscription agreements with investors, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and certain members of its board of directors for a registered direct offering (“RDO”) of the Company’s common stock. The RDO sold an aggregate 242,891 units at a price to the public of $4.22 per unit, with each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The $4.22 purchase price equals two times the last reported sale price of $2.11 per share of the Company’s Common Stock on February 15, 2024 on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $1.025 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and for general corporate purposes (See Note 20).

Management is exploring new product channel sales in adjacent industries, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.

We have sufficient capital to maintain as a going concern due to the recent capital raise. We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing our catalog of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.

We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long-term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the consolidated financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.
