 that we will continue to generate significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our success is dependent on our ability to access additional capital. Additional capital will be required under the following circumstances: 1) to offset negative cash flows from operations, 2) to accelerate customer acquisition, thereby increasing capital outlay, 3) for advanced purchasing of materials, 4) for the development and acquisition of new technology, 5) for potential acquisition of a key asset, and 6) for sales expansion.

Alcohol Use Disorder and Its Effects

SOBR Safe is committed to addressing the increasing diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorder (“AUD”) which is a medical condition characterized by an inability to control or stop the use of alcohol despite the adverse effects and consequences. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (“NIAAA”) approximately 29 million individuals in the United States and 283 million globally suffer from this diagnosis where the problematic use of alcohol can result in both short- and long-term health issues including effects on behavioral wellness and overall physical health. The NIAA also notes AUD increased by 38% during the COVID pandemic creating a surge in diagnoses and untreated cases. 

In the United States, alcohol consumption and AUD can be linked to more than 200 diseases including 50% of all liver disease and 25% of pancreatitis cases and contributes to 5% of cancer related deaths. Approximately 178,000 alcohol related deaths occurred in the United States during 2022 and continue to increase annually.

Further attributing to the ongoing and ever-increasing AUD epidemic, less than 10% of those affected have available or receive treatment leaving approximately 26 million in the United States without traditional medical treatment options. The demographics of the 26 million untreated individuals cover a wide range including 17 million men and 12 million women with 1.5 million under the age of 21. Those who are not able to receive medications or clinical behavioral treatments must work to find alternative solutions to address and recover from AUD such as the SOBR Safe monitoring and detection solutions. We continue ongoing efforts to identify the wide-ranging demographics of the AUD epidemic in an effort to provide solutions defined for each group according to their treatment needs and journeys.
