ITEM 1. BUSINESS Overview Amesite’s smart, intuitive learning environments help organizations thrive. Amesite is a high-tech artificial intelligence software company offering a cloud-based platform and content creation services for business and university-delivered education and upskilling. Amesite-offered courses and programs are branded to our part.
Added
ITEM 1. BUSINESS Overview Our mission is to empower people with AI tools. We have products in two sectors: higher education and healthcare. Higher education is presently challenged to offer useful, affordable professional development and workforce learning programs that generate revenue for them.
Removed
Amesite uses artificial intelligence technologies to provide customized environments for learners, easy-to-manage interfaces for instructors, and greater accessibility for learners in the US education market and beyond. The Company leverages existing institutional infrastructures, adding mass customization and cutting-edge technology to provide cost-effective, scalable and engaging experiences for learners anywhere.
Added
Healthcare is presently challenged to integrate highly efficient, AI solutions into workflows in order to relieve the prodigious strain on services due to workforce shortages and high turnover. Amesite’s AI-powered solutions aim to solve both of these problems. Artificial Intelligence is broadly transforming human work and learning.
Removed
We are passionate about improving the learner experience and learner outcomes in online learning products and improving our Customers’ ability to create and deliver both. We are focused on creating the best possible technology solutions and have been awarded an innovation award for our product.
Added
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has resulted in reshaping of whole industries. We believe that all successful companies and organizations will have to successfully implement AI solutions in order to maintain excellence and competitiveness. While LLMs offer the promise of transformation, software solutions that successfully incorporate functions and features that are fit for purpose are essential.
Removed
We are committed to our team, and have been recognized with 10 workplace excellence awards, 4 of them national. Amesite offers our white label platform to our Customers: universities, museums, businesses and government agencies. Amesite’s Customers offer learning to their users, who are students, professional learners and / or their own employees.
Added
Scaled software platforms are often slow to integrate new technology, because they are burdened by the need to assure backward compatibility, and the inertial effects of large volumes of interlocking practices, from technology to sales to customer success. Small startups often lack the experience needed to create offerings that are both scalable and compliant with relevant regulations.
Removed
Amesite derives revenue from the licensing of our platform, and user fees associated with its use by our Customers for their users. Some of our Customers generate revenue using our systems, including Universities and Museums.
Added
We believe that Amesite is uniquely positioned to address these markets. We are both agile and experienced. We believe our team is perfectly sized and skilled to create processes that fit the present technology moment – rapidly – while still offering nearly 50 combined years of technology experience, and decades of additional experience on team in sales, marketing and finance.
Removed
Our Strategy We deliver Learning Community Environment ® s (LCE SM s) to businesses and educational institutions (EIs) that enable them to offer branded learning products to their students, professional learners or employees with ease. Our business model offers flexibility for our Customers.
Added
Our higher education platform, Amesite Engage, enables colleges and universities to offer courses and programs that build professional skills. Customers in higher education can use their own content, content provided by Amesite, or third-party content to deliver learning solutions. Amesite additionally supports higher education customers with instructional staff who contract with us.
Removed
Our Customers license our platform and can also contract with to us to create and maintain customized learning products, or easily launch their own learning products on the platform. We have entered into master service agreements with our Customers, including, but not limited to, universities such as Wayne State University and enterprises such as The Henry Ford Museum.
Added
This enables any college or university to offer accessibly-priced and outstanding programs to build workforce and professional skills with a turnkey system that delivers the highest learner completion rate in the industry of over 96%.
Removed
These agreements include statements of work detailing the services to be rendered and programs or products to be delivered on the platform. We use the proprietary data we collect on learner behavior and responses with their consent, to deliver to learners engaging, effective courses and programs.
Added
NurseMagic TM , our healthcare app, specifically targets the largest segments in healthcare – nurses and caregivers – providing them support to do their jobs, manage stress, complete documentation and perform many other tasks.
Removed
Our Customers gain efficiency, flexibility and can generate high return on investment and revenue through partnership with us, because of the speed, flexibility, effectiveness and scalability of the LCE SM s we build for them. Universities need to be able to launch programs that upskill their alumni and other professionals, accessibly and at scale.
Added
Nurses and caregivers can use the app for free, and we are presently marketing the app to enterprises, including home health care companies, skilled nursing companies and other organizations that deliver care and have had early success in entering pilot programs.
Removed
Museums need to engage their patrons and visitors with high quality digital learning opportunities. Businesses need learning systems that enable them to upskill people quickly and efficiently. Retention and execution of strategic plans require that employees stay engaged and learn effectively. Government needs to be able to offer learning programs that allow job seekers to advance skills.
Added
Our Sales Motion and Technology Pipeline We offer a free version of NurseMagic TM , which enables us to determine needs, create desirable features and continuously improve the product, while building our reputation as a fast-growing, highly rated app.
Removed
Amesite’s cloud-based platform addresses all of these key needs. We target Customers who already have large cohorts of users who can consume their delivered learning programs. Our revenues are derived from license fees, but more importantly, by user fees, that we believe will enable us to scale revenue.
Added
To generate revenue, we target healthcare organizations that have incredible pain in staffing, which limits their ability to provide excellent care, control costs and generate revenue. Modalities of care delivered by these enterprises include skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, residential, continuing care retirement communities, home health and rehabilitation centers.
Removed
Importantly, we aim to serve our Customers by delivering learning programs at price points that are accessible and are highly targeted to their needs. 1 Our Proprietary Technology We believe that online learning products are essential for accessibility, engagement and scalability for businesses and EIs alike.
Added
Our sales motion is simple: we outreach these organizations to demonstrate the incredible cost savings and removal of barriers to generating revenue. They offer an enterprise version of the app to their teams, working to improve patient care and reduce stress and turnover, via pilot phases. Pilot phases are designed to be short to speed time to close enterprise licenses.
Removed
We also use tools employed by many high-end platforms. Our architecture enables us to achieve full integration of best-in-class third party tools, and custom-built features, delivering on-demand and as-needed, such as leading calendar platform integrations, and high quality, encrypted video calling. Our architecture enables us to utilize artificial intelligence algorithms to ultimately improve learning outcomes.
Added
We estimate that the return on investment for these enterprises is as much as 15X, given that documentation requirements alone can consume up to 40% of nurses’ time. In higher education, we principally target community colleges who are charged with driving workforce development as part of their missions.
Removed
Much as artificial intelligence algorithms presently recognize and respond to natural language on commercial platforms, predict behaviors and deliver suggestions, our algorithms have been developed to assist learners in accessing, utilizing and remaining engaged with platform content, their instructors and their peers.
Added
Here again, our sales motion is simple: we offer a no-fee setup that enables them to pay our license fees based on registrations, and we manage the entire system for them, even populating their branded offerings with content and providing them with instructors.
Removed
We generate content for our Customers using the highest standards in business and higher education, and our business model enables us to deliver content for our Customers efficiently and rapidly. Rapidly evolving technology has driven the need to continuously upskill students and workforces, and we use the highest possible standards to deliver this content according to Customer needs.
Added
Our Platform includes our products and services and all of the technology and business services that create them, in part or whole: a blend of software, hardware, content, and technology that includes everything from behind-the-scenes processes to the user interface, our website, data handling, communication, and advanced analytics.
Removed
This substantially reduces the time it takes for traditional program creation by businesses or EIs. We market to our Customers, and enable them to offer and monetize learning products, or to deliver learning products to their own employees efficiently and cost effectively.
Added
We constantly improve both our product features and the infrastructure to deliver them, utilizing common infrastructure elements to seamlessly deliver turnkey products that are simple to use and operate, in two markets. -1- Our Proprietary Technology Our Platform utilizes a common infrastructure to deliver both Amesite Engage for higher education and NurseMagic TM for healthcare.
Removed
Our Customers want the capability of delivery to their own Customers and are best able to market to them. We deliver the content and technology to enable this. We protect and utilize learner data solely to improve learning outcomes.
Added
We integrate new tools rapidly as they become available because our architecture enables fast integration of APIs. We protect and utilize data to improve product performance. Data and information about user behavior and use cases are collected with user permission. We validate algorithms using both offline and online testing.
Removed
Learner data is collected with learner permission, and information about learner behavior, study preferences and preferences for types of material delivered as part of learning products, will be used to improve learning outcomes and learner experiences. We will validate algorithms using both offline and online testing.
Added
Our Research and Development We continuously improve our products and have a practice, based on decades of experience in technology and higher education, on best-in-class metrics. For example, we train our algorithms on corpuses that our users rely upon, and 100% of our R&D is dedicated to improved product performance for users.
Removed
By correlating learner behaviors with specific outcomes as identified by qualified instructors, we will train our algorithms specifically for important learning outcomes, enabling it to be a useful tool for instructors. We believe that the combinations of information that will be collected through our educational products, and outcomes measured using our online learning products will be unique, and constantly improving.
Added
We create 5 new features per week on average, and build out those most useful to our users.
Removed
We will never sell or distribute our learner data to third parties without the explicit permission of learners. We will not deliver unwanted content or advertising to learners or to Customer personnel. Our proprietary technology is developed solely for purposes of improving learner experiences and outcomes and improving the ability of our Customers to deliver outstanding educational products.
Added
Competition The software industry in healthcare is a mixture of large and midsized firms’ platform offerings, with apps available for narrow functionalities. The industry is characterized by high regulatory requirements, including HIPAA, and barriers to entry due to inertia common in large organizations.
Removed
Our Research and Development Programs We use advanced technologies to create effective and accessible learning environments. We seek to improve learning at many levels, including college and professional. Our research and development programs will expand continuously based on learner preferences, outcomes and the desires of our Customers.
Added
While we believe that NurseMagic TM is uniquely well-positioned since it focuses on utility for the user and was honed on data and specific needs of users, we face stiff competition from major Electronic Medical Record and Electronic Health Record (EMR and EHRs) companies.
Removed
Some of these will include: ● Improvements in learner engagement with cloud-based platforms . We will continuously gather data on how learners engage with us and other online platforms and conduct research and development to create and incorporate useful tools for learning on our platform. ● Improvements in instructor experience using our platform .
Added
These regulations include compliance with federal and state laws, as well as industry standards specific to healthcare practices. We contract with healthcare providers and facilities across various modalities such as skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, home health, and rehabilitation centers.
Removed
We will continuously develop tools designed to improve the ability of our Customers to deliver timely and relevant content, deliver assessments which are fair, correctly represent educational objectives and give repeatable outcomes when employed on our platform. 2 ● Integration of new technology in the delivery of learning products .
Added
In these settings, we are required to comply with healthcare regulations that govern the use of technology in clinical environments. Our role as a service provider to healthcare professionals and facilities, either directly or through contractual agreements, necessitates compliance with these regulations.
Removed
A “technology stack” is a combination of software products and programming languages used to create our platform. We will continuously develop improvements to our technology stack, inventing and integrating best-in-class online engagement features.
Added
Any failure on our part, or on the part of our customers, to adhere to these regulations could negatively impact our operations and our ability to deliver services. Therefore, we work closely with our customers to ensure adherence to applicable healthcare laws and standards.
Removed
These will range from invention of novel user experience features to integration of capabilities offered by other vendors and developers. ● Qualification of information for use by learners in all sectors .
Added
We will comply with healthcare laws, including but not limited to, regulations concerning data privacy and security, clinical documentation standards, and patient consent requirements. We closely monitor developments in state and federal healthcare regulations and will assist our customers in obtaining necessary approvals to use NurseMagic™ in their practice settings.
Removed
We plan to provide both our Customers and our learners with the constantly improving ability to find and integrate qualified information into products on our platform, and maximize learner ability to utilize qualified information, designed to offer learners the most carefully curated, most relevant, timely and engaging materials in every discipline in which we offer products.
Added
Our activities on behalf of our customers are also subject to federal and state laws, including consumer protection laws, data protection and privacy laws, and industry-specific regulations enforced by bodies such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Removed
Our Intellectual Property Our intellectual property rights include patent applications, trade secrets, trademark rights, and contractual agreements. Our patent applications are directed to our proprietary technology, including an artificial intelligence platform for learning, and will seek patent protection for our designs, development, and related alternatives by filing and prosecuting patent applications in the U.S. and other countries as appropriate.
Added
Sales and Marketing We offer a free version of NurseMagic™, which allows us to identify user needs, create valuable features, and continuously refine the app, all while establishing our reputation as a fast-growing, highly-rated product. This free version serves as a critical tool for building brand awareness and gathering feedback, which informs our development and marketing strategies.

Moreover, despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, the reporting requirements, rules, and regulations will make some activities more time-consuming and costly, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of these requirements and to keep pace with new regulations, otherwise we may fall out of compliance and risk becoming subject to litigation or being delisted, among other potential problems. 14 Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

Removed
Historically, we have had no significant tangible assets other than cash. If our assumptions about market needs are incorrect, we may fail to launch courses and gain initial Customers.
Added
Additional risks or uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business. Risks Related to Our Healthcare Business We have significant compliance and regulatory risks. NurseMagic™ is designed for use across various healthcare modalities, such as skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, home health, and rehabilitation centers.
Removed
Even if we launch courses in a timely manner, our assumptions regarding recovery of upfront costs and growth of revenue may differ substantially from reality, in which case we will fail to achieve our revenue goals. We have not developed a strong Customer base and we have not generated sustainable revenue since inception.
Added
The healthcare sector is highly regulated, and our app is currently not HIPAA compliant. This lack of compliance poses significant risks when healthcare providers use the app in environments where Protected Health Information (PHI) is handled.
Removed
We will be relying on our college, university and museum Customers to drive enrollment and revenue and continue to license our platform and pay for our services. Factors within and outside of our control will affect enrollments and include the following: ● Negative perceptions about online courses.
Added
Any unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse of PHI could lead to substantial fines, legal actions, and reputational damage, adversely affecting our business operations and financial condition.
Removed
We will be relying on our enterprise Customers to prioritize providing online learning programs to train or upskill their workforces. Factors within and outside of our control will affect enrollments and include the following: ● General economic conditions. Any contraction in the economy could be expected to cause business leaders to deprioritize workforce training. ● Negative perceptions about online courses.
Added
Additionally, the use of the app in global markets exposes us to compliance risks under various international regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and other local privacy laws.
Removed
Our Customers will rely on us to deliver a stable platform, with correct measures of performance in a manner that instructors, lecturers, graduate student assistants and professors can easily use.
Added
Certain states have also adopted comparable privacy and security laws and regulations, which govern the privacy, collection, use, processing, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information. Such laws and regulations will be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thus creating potentially complex compliance issues for us and our customers.
Removed
Even if we are successful in delivering a stable platform, our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.
Added
Such laws are continuing to be proposed at the state and federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging.
Removed
The following factors may affect our operating results: ● our ability to compete effectively; ● our ability to continue to attract users to our platform; ● our ability to attract new Customers to our platform; ● our ability to attract colleges and universities to our platform; ● the mix in our net revenues generated from Customers and colleges and universities; ● the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; ● our focus on long term goals over short-term results; ● the results of our investments in risky projects; ● general economic conditions and those economic conditions specific to our online courses; ● our ability to keep our platform operational at a reasonable cost and without service interruptions; ● the success of our geographical and product expansion; ● our ability to attract, motivate and retain top-quality employees; ● foreign, federal, state or local government regulation that could impede our ability to operate our platform; ● our ability to upgrade and develop our systems, infrastructure and products; ● new technologies or services that block our platform and user adoption of these technologies; ● the costs and results of litigation that we may face; ● our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; ● our ability to forecast revenue; ● our ability to manage fraud and other activities that violate our terms of services; ● our ability to successfully integrate and manage our colleges and universities; and ● geopolitical events such as war, threat of war, or terrorist actions.
Added
Although we work to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards, our contractual obligations and other obligations, any actual or perceived failure by us or our employees, representatives, contractors, consultants, or other third parties to comply with such requirements or adequately address data privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, could result in, among other adverse impacts, damage to our reputation, loss of customer confidence in our security measures, withdrawal or withholding of customer consent for using patient data, government investigations, and enforcement actions and litigation and claims by third parties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Removed
We do not expect more than nominal revenues until at least some point during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. If our expectations prove incorrect, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
Added
We have risks in gaining market adoption and winning customers from competitors. The healthcare app market is rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive, with numerous established players offering compliant and integrated solutions tailored to specific healthcare needs.
Removed
Maintaining compliance with these requirements may result in significant additional expense to us and any failure to maintain such compliance could cause our business to suffer. Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions.
Added
NurseMagic™ may struggle to gain traction against these competitors, particularly in modalities where compliance and integration with existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are crucial. Failure to demonstrate clear value and differentiation could result in low adoption rates, impeding our ability to scale and achieve sustainable revenue growth.
Removed
An adverse outcome in any such litigation could require us to pay contractual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other costs. These enforcement actions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Added
We are seeking to expand our business to the healthcare sector by offering highly efficient, AI solutions into home health aide and skilled nursing workflows to relieve the prodigious strain on services due to workforce shortages and high turnover, but it is uncertain whether our offerings will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption.
Removed
If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of our management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees.
Added
Our future financial performance depends in part on growth in this market, our ability to market effectively and in a cost-efficient manner, and our ability to adapt to emerging demands of potential customers and the evolving regulatory landscape. It is difficult to predict the future growth rate and size of our target market.
Removed
Unfavorable global economic, business, or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Added
Though we have already closed 5 pilot programs with healthcare providers, our reliance on pilot programs and the free version of the app to generate interest may prove inadequate in terms of conversions to enterprise licenses.
Added
If healthcare organizations do not perceive a significant return on investment or fail to see measurable improvements in staff efficiency and patient care, our sales efforts may not translate into long-term revenue.
Added
Our success depends in part on the willingness of providers and healthcare organizations to partner with us, increase their use of our platform, and our ability to demonstrate the value of our technology to providers, as well as potential customers.
Added
If providers, healthcare organizations or regulators work in opposition to us or if we are unable to reduce healthcare costs or drive positive outcomes for our customers, then the market for our services may not continue to develop, or it might develop more slowly than we expect. -7- We face significant operational and financial risks.
Added
Implementing and maintaining NurseMagic™ across diverse healthcare environments poses significant operational challenges. Each modality has unique requirements and workflows, and the app must be highly adaptable to meet these needs. The cost and complexity of developing features tailored to specific healthcare settings, as well as ensuring robust data security and performance, require substantial investment.
Added
If we are unable to effectively allocate resources to these areas, our growth and operational stability could be compromised. As a public company, we incur significant overhead costs related to compliance, accounting, and legal obligations.
Added
If NurseMagic™ does not achieve the expected revenue or market penetration, we may be forced to scale back development and marketing efforts, which could hinder our ability to attract new customers and retain existing ones. We face combined legal and reputational risks because of the data we manage and the nature of the business.
Added
Failure to meet regulatory standards or to ensure the app's reliability and security could result in negative publicity, loss of trust, and damage to our brand reputation. This could lead to decreased user engagement and lower conversion rates for enterprise licenses.
Added
Additionally, any legal actions taken against us for non-compliance, data breaches, or misuse of the app could result in significant financial penalties and long-term damage to our business prospects. In summary, the success of NurseMagic™ depends on our ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes, effectively differentiate ourselves in a competitive market, and maintain operational and financial stability.
Added
We rely on the intent and the marketing investments and support of our customers to build revenue with this product, and if colleges and universities are not incentivized to dedicate resources to engage in workforce training and professional learning, we could fail to grow this line of business.
Added
Our business model relies on us successfully licensing our platform and providing services to colleges, universities, and businesses for creation and online delivery of their learning products. If we fail to attract customers, or to negotiate agreements with them that provide us with sustainable revenue, it will impair our ability to operate and grow our business.
Added
General Risks There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are in the early stages of developing our customer base and have not completed our efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenue sufficient to cover our costs over an extended period of time.
Added
For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had net losses of $4,403,182 and $4,153,303, respectively. The assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations is inherently judgmental, subjective and susceptible to change. -9- The assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations is inherently judgmental, subjective and susceptible to change.
Added
Based on their current forecast, management believes that it may not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to maintain the Company’s planned operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
Added
The Company has considered both quantitative and qualitative factors that are known or reasonably known as of the date of these financial statements are issued and concluded that there are conditions present in the aggregate that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Added
In response to the conditions, management plans include generating cash by completing financing transactions, which may include offerings of common stock. However, these plans are subject to market conditions, and are not within the Company’s control, and therefore, cannot be deemed probable. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing their plans.
Added
As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Added
Our operating results are highly susceptible to fluctuations due to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. We may be unable to compete effectively in the marketplace, which could hinder our ability to attract and retain users, customers, and educational institutions on our platform.
Added
The mix of net revenues generated from different customer segments may not align with our expectations, leading to unpredictable financial outcomes. Additionally, the timing and magnitude of operating costs and capital expenditures required to maintain and expand our business, operations, and infrastructure may exceed our forecasts, adversely impacting our profitability.
Added
Our focus on long-term objectives over immediate financial performance could result in periods of suboptimal results, and our investments in high-risk projects may fail to generate anticipated returns. Adverse economic conditions, both broadly and specific to our industry, could further weaken our financial position.
Added
We may struggle to keep our platform operational at a reasonable cost or without service interruptions, which could damage our reputation and erode user trust. -10- Our geographical and product expansion initiatives may not achieve the intended outcomes, and we may fail to attract, inspire, and retain top-tier talent, impeding our ability to succeed at any scale.
Added
Government regulations—whether foreign, federal, state, or local—could impose constraints on our operations, potentially limiting our growth. We may be unable to effectively upgrade and develop our systems, infrastructure, and products, or to address emerging technologies or services that block our platform, leading to reduced user engagement.
Added
We could face substantial costs and uncertainties from litigation, and we may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, which could erode our competitive position. Our revenue forecasting may be inaccurate, leading to misguided strategic decisions. Additionally, we may fail to manage fraud and other activities that violate our terms of service, further compromising our platform’s integrity.
Added
Our ability to successfully integrate and manage our relationships with enterprises in healthcare and with colleges and universities is uncertain, and any failure in either segment could diminish our reputation. Finally, geopolitical events such as war, threats of war, or terrorist actions could disrupt our operations and significantly impair our business performance.
Added
If our security measures or those of our future business partners are breached or fail and result in unauthorized disclosure of data, we could lose customers and/or fail to attract new customers. Such breach or failure could also harm our reputation and expose us to protracted and costly lawsuits.
Added
We have and will continue to collect and retain large volumes of internal, partner and consumer data, including personally identifiable information, for business purposes, including for transactional or target marketing and promotional purposes, and our various information technology systems enter, process, summarize and report such data. We also maintain personally identifiable information about our employees.
Added
The integrity and protection of our customer, employee, and company data is critical to our business and our customers and employees are likely to have a high expectation that we will adequately protect their personal information.
Added
The regulatory environment, as well as the requirements imposed on us by the credit card industry, governing information, security and privacy laws is increasingly demanding and continues to evolve. Maintaining compliance with applicable security and privacy regulations may increase our operating costs and/or adversely impact our ability to market our products and services.
Added
We also rely on accounting, financial and operational management information technology systems to conduct our operations. If these information technology systems suffer severe damage, disruption or shutdown and our business continuity plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Added
We may face various security threats, including cyber security attacks on our data (including our vendors’ and customers’ data) and/or information technology infrastructure. Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor and mitigate these threats, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient to prevent penetrations or disruptions to our systems.
