Biggest changeSuch changes could, among other things, reduce reimbursement for procedures using our products, change coverage policies, increase compliance costs, and delay or reduce hospital capital spending. ● The application of state certificate of need regulations and compliance by our customers with federal and state licensing or other international requirements could substantially limit our ability to sell our products and grow our business. ● Hospitals or physicians may be unable to obtain reimbursement from third-party payors for procedures using our products, or reimbursement for procedures may be insufficient to recoup the costs of purchasing our products. ● Our costs could substantially increase if we receive a significant number of warranty claims or have other significant, uninsured liabilities. 18 Risks Related to Our Common Stock ● Our principal stockholders continue to own a large percentage of our voting stock, and they could substantially influence matters requiring stockholder approval. ● Future issuances of our securities could dilute current stockholders’ ownership. ● We have never paid dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. ● Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, Delaware law, and one of our collaboration agreements contain provisions that could discourage a takeover. ● Evolving regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses and continuing uncertainty. ● Our future operating results may be below securities analysts’ or investors’ expectations, which could cause our stock price to decline. ● We expect that the price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially, possibly resulting in class action securities litigation. ● If we fail to continue to meet all applicable NYSE American Market requirements and the NYSE American determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, which would impair the value of your investment and ultimately harm our business by limiting our access to equity markets for capital raising.
RISK FACTORS SUMMARY Risks Related to Our Business and Business Operations ● We may not generate cash from operations or be able to raise the necessary capital to continue operations. ● Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, as well as pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious disease could have an adverse effect our supply chain, our hospital customer buying patterns, and our ability to raise capital and could otherwise disrupt our normal business operations. ● We may not be able to fund our business operations in the same manner as we have done historically if we do not improve the operating performance of the Company or raise additional capital. ● Hospital decision-makers may not purchase our robotic magnetic navigation systems or related products or may think that such systems and products are too expensive. ● If we are unable to fulfill our current purchase orders and other commitments on a timely basis or at all, we may not be able to achieve future sales growth. 17 ● We will likely experience long and variable sales and installation cycles, which could result in substantial fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations. ● Physicians may not use our products if they do not believe they are safe, efficient and effective. ● Our collaborations with fluoroscopy system manufacturers and providers of catheters and electrophysiology mapping systems or other parties may fail, or we may not be able to enter additional collaborations in the future. ● The complexity associated with selling, marketing, and distributing products could impair our ability to increase revenue. ● Our marketing strategy is dependent on collaboration with physician “thought leaders.” ● Physicians may not commit enough time to sufficiently learn our system. ● Customers may choose to purchase competing products and not ours. ● If the magnetic fields generated by our system are not compatible with, or interfere with, other widely used equipment in the interventional labs, sales of our products would be negatively affected. ● The use of our products could result in product liability claims that could be expensive, divert management’s attention, and harm our reputation and business. ● We have incurred substantial losses in the past and may not be profitable in the future. ● Our reliance on contract manufacturers and on suppliers, and in some cases, a single supplier, could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely manner or within budget. ● Risks associated with international manufacturing and trade could negatively impact the availability and cost of our products because materials used to manufacture our magnets, one of our key system components, are sourced from overseas. ● We may encounter problems at our manufacturing facilities or those of our subcontractors or otherwise experience manufacturing delays that could result in lost revenue. ● Our growth may place a significant strain on our resources, and if we fail to manage our growth, our ability to develop, market, and sell our products will be harmed.

Although priced significantly below a robotic magnetic navigation system, the Odyssey Solution is still an expensive product. While we have partnered with fluoroscopy manufacturers to reduce the cost of acquisition, the ongoing cost of ownership, and the complexity of installation of a robotic electrophysiology practice, this strategy may not be successful.

For example, supply chain disruptions have led to vendor discussions regarding contractual performance which we intend to resolve through continued negotiations but have required us to assert performance issues under our vendor agreements. We may not be successful in our claims, and even if we are successful, we may continue to experience supply disruptions.
For example, supply chain disruptions have led to vendor discussions regarding contractual performance which we generally resolve through negotiations, although in one instance we have been required to assert performance issues under the vendor agreement.

If these parties experience, as some have had in the past, various challenges including the ability to manufacture sufficient quantities to meet customer demand, disruption of their manufacturing processes, or an inability to service or warrant their products, our revenue and profitability would be adversely affected.
In addition, connectivity with other devices in the electrophysiology lab is a key driver of value. If the Company is not able to continue to commit sufficient resources to ensure that its products are compatible with other products within the electrophysiology lab, this could have a negative impact on revenue.
If the Company is not able to continue to commit sufficient resources to ensure that its products are compatible with other products within the electrophysiology lab, this could have a negative impact on revenue. 27 Security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure could interfere with our operations, compromise confidential information, and expose us to liability which could materially adversely impact our business and reputation.
Our competitors may acquire similar or even the same technology components that are utilized in our current offering eroding some differentiation in the marketplace.
