Item 1A. Risk Factors An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This annual report will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this annual report.
Added
They have earned limited revenues and it is uncertain whether they will earn any revenues in the future or whether any of them will ultimately be profitable. ● We may need to raise additional capital to fund the operations of our business units and commercialize our products. ● We may not be able to obtain patents, other intellectual property protection or licenses for the technologies contained in the products we develop. ● Third parties have infringed on our intellectual property rights, and may claim in the future that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products. ● We may not be able to successfully develop the BreathTest-1000 or any other new products or services. ● Our sales and operations in international markets expose us to operational, financial and regulatory risks. ● Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted by the effects of inflation. ● We generate substantial revenue from a limited number of customers and the loss of any such customer may harm our business, results of operations and financial results. ● Our success depends significantly on the establishment and maintenance of successful relationships with our customers. ● Third parties may claim we are infringing their intellectual property rights, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products. ● Our ongoing success is dependent upon the continued availability of certain key employees. ● Our operating results may be adversely affected by increased competition. ● Our facilities located in Austin are susceptible to damage caused by hurricanes or other natural disasters. ● If we are unable to anticipate technological advances and customer requirements in the commercial and governmental markets, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected. 26 ● We incur substantial upfront, non-reimbursable costs in preparing proposals to bid on contracts or to receive research and development grants that we may not be awarded. ● A failure of a key information technology system, process, or site could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business. ● Our manufacturing operations are mostly dependent upon third party suppliers, including single source suppliers, making us vulnerable to external factors such as supply shortages and price fluctuations, which could harm our business. ● Repair or replacement costs due to warranties we provide on our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. ● Our products and operations are subject to extensive governmental regulation, and failure to comply with applicable requirements could cause our business to suffer. ● Failure to obtain clearance or authorization for the BreathTest-1000, or other delays in the development of the BreathTest-1000, would adversely affect our ability to grow our business. ● We and our suppliers may not meet regulatory quality standards applicable to our device-manufacturing processes, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. ● If the BreathTest-1000 or any other device candidates are cleared for commercialization in the United States via the 510(k) process, product modifications may require new 510(k) clearances, de novo submissions, or pre‑market approvals, or may require us to cease marketing or recall the modified products until clearances are obtained. ● Once our BreathTest-1000 or any other device candidate we may develop in the future, if any, is cleared or approved by FDA for marketing in the United States, if ever, we may be liable if the FDA or other U.S. enforcement agencies determine we have engaged in the off‑label promotion of such products or have disseminated false or misleading labeling or promotional materials. ● Legislative or regulatory healthcare reforms may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain reimbursement for our products or regulatory clearance or approval of our future products, if any, and to produce, market and distribute those products after clearance or approval is obtained. ● Disruptions at FDA and other government agencies, such as those that may be caused by funding shortages, could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, approved, or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business. ● Our financial performance may be adversely affected by medical device tax provisions in healthcare reform laws. ● Our AgLAB business’ growth is highly dependent on the U.S. hemp and cannabis market.

We have incurred costs with respect to such matters, including in the form of attorneys’ fees and costs.
Removed
The COVID-19 pandemic had numerous negative consequences for our business, including a reduction in demand for certain of our security screening products and services caused by a significant reduction in airline passenger traffic. To slow and limit the transmission of COVID-19, governments across the world imposed air travel restrictions and businesses and individuals canceled air travel plans.
Added
Other costs incurred, as a result of infringement claims like the ones discussed above, could include damages, fines or other penalties, whether pursuant to a judgment or settlement, and diversion of our management’s attention, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. 30 Table of Contents We may not be able to successfully develop the BreathTest-1000 or any other new products or services.
Removed
These restrictions and cancelations reduced demand for security screening products and related services at airport checkpoints globally as the number of airline passengers requiring screening fell. The pandemic also hampered our ability to meet with our customers and prospective customers and created supply chain challenges as certain components had longer lead times.
Added
The ability of FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, statutory, regulatory, and policy changes, FDA’s ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and other events that may otherwise affect FDA’s ability to perform routine functions.
Removed
The continued spread of COVID-19 and COVID variants also led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increased the cost of capital and adversely impacted access to capital.
Added
Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result.
Removed
While such negative impacts to our business have subsided to some degree, there is risk that new strains of COVID-19 may become more prevalent and cause an extension of or additional negative consequences.

Removed
In addition, if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will likely be impacted. We may be unable to perform fully on our contracts and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
