ivity allows our competitors to sell products to the same restoration specialists, which could reduce our sales if our competitors’ products are used in lieu of our products. Additionally, the use of our and our competitors’ products by a restoration specialist may create market confusion between our products and the products of our competitors, which may adversely affect our brand reputation and business.

Our success depends upon broad market acceptance of our technology that has not yet been achieved in the Hospital-Healthcare market.

Our BIT technology as a Hospital-Healthcare disinfectant is relatively new, having received full Hospital registration for Clostridium difficile spores from the EPA in mid-2017. Our sales are dependent upon broad market acceptance of our technology that replaces long-standing failing manual cleaning techniques such as quaternary ammonium compounds and bleach for disinfection, with our no-touch mechanical process. The failure to obtain broad market acceptance inevitably leads to substantially increased lead times for sales until our prospective customers, particularly in the Hospital-Healthcare market, are accustomed to the use of newer mechanical technology. The inability to timely meet our sales goals could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

There is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our net loss was approximately $4,477,000 and $3,403,000, respectively, and the cash used in operations was approximately $1,440,000 and $3,599,000, respectively.  As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $665,000 of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $54.3 million.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. We intend to fund ongoing activities by utilizing our current cash on hand, the cash generated from operations, and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. We continue to pursue various options to raise capital to enhance our cash position, including more recently by issuing convertible notes to accredited investors.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising that additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us, as our ability to raise capital may be affected by various factors, including general market conditions, volatility of our stock price, investor interests and expectations, and our financial performance.

We are subject to a variety of risks associated with doing business internationally
