, malfeasance, or other malicious or inadvertent disruptions. In addition, while MRNA Scientific has implemented security measures and a formal, dedicated enterprise security program to prevent unauthorized access to patient data, such data is currently accessible through multiple channels, and there is no guarantee MRNA Scientific can protect its data from breach. Unauthorized access, loss, or dissemination could also result in delays of MRNA Scientific’s services and tests development and commercialization as well as damage MRNA Scientific’s reputation, including MRNA Scientific’s ability to conduct its analysis, deliver test results, process claims and appeals, provide customer assistance, conduct research and development activities, collect, process, and prepare company financial information, provide information about MRNA Scientific’s tests and other patient and physician education and outreach efforts through its website, and manage the administrative aspects of its business.

Any such unauthorized access, loss, or dissemination of information could also result in legal claims or proceedings, liabilities under Malaysian laws and regulations in relation to the protection of personal information and cybersecurity as well as those specifically governing patient and medical data. MRNA Scientific shall establish, maintain and execute internal systems to safeguard relevant personal healthcare data. Any failure to comply with above-mentioned regulation would result in administrative liabilities including but not limited to informed criticism.

MRNA Scientific plans to expand its tests and services to multiple countries exposes us to risks associated with doing business outside of Malaysia. The expansion may not be successful, which could limit MRNA Scientific’s ability to grow its revenue, net income, and profitability.

Accordingly, the Company’s business and financial results in the future could be adversely affected due to a variety of factors including the risks associated with expanding into markets in which the Company has limited or no experience and in which the company may be less well-known. The Company may be unable to attract a sufficient number of customers and other participants, fail to anticipate competitive conditions or face difficulties in operating effectively in these new markets. The expansion of the Company’s cross-border business will also expose us to risks relating to staffing and managing cross-border operations, increased costs to protect intellectual property, tariffs and other trade barriers, differing and potentially adverse tax consequences,
