Notes to the Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - General
A. | Description of Business |
IR-Med, Inc. (OTC QB: IRME, hereinafter: the “Parent Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in 2007. IR-Med, Inc. was previously named International Display Advertising, Inc. and changed its name to IR-Med, Inc. in January 2021.
The registered office of IR-Med, Inc. and the corporate headquarters and research facility of IR. Med, Ltd. are located in Rosh Pina, Israel. The Parent Company and IR. Med Ltd. (Hereinafter: the “Subsidiary”) are at times collectively referred to as the “Company”.
On April 9, 2024, the Company’s first device, the PressureSafe™, decision support system, received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) listing certification. PressureSafe™ is classified as a Class I device , decision support system. Following the listing certification of the PressureSafe™ device, the Company has started usability studies and the preparations for the commercial launch of its first device, the PressureSafe™. The Company is developing its technology through its Subsidiary and is utilizing Infra-Red-light spectroscopy (“IR”) combined with an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology platform to develop non-invasive devices for various medical indications, by assessing various biomarkers and molecules in the blood and in human tissue in real-time. The second product candidate, DiaSafe™ which is currently under development is a non-invasive, user friendly devise which is designed to address the medical needs of large and growing target patient groups by offering assessment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (“DFU”) before skin breakage, which is expected to reduce healthcare expenses and better patient care.
B. | Going Concern |
The
Company is starting the preparations of the commercial launch of its first device, the PressureSafe™ , and does not expect
to generate significant revenue until such time as the Company will start the commercialization of the PressureSafe™ and
shall complete the design and development of its other product candidates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company
incurred losses of $
Based on the current expected level of operating expenditures, the Company’s cash resources as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital needs through the second quarter of 2025 and shall not be sufficient for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management’s plans regarding these matters include continued development and marketing the Company’s products, as well as seeking additional financing arrangements. Although management continues to pursue these plans, in the event financing is not obtained, the Company may pursue additional cost cutting measures or may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate any of its development programs, these events could have a material adverse effect on its business. These factors raise substantive doubt about the Company ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
C | Iron Swords war impact |
Further the described in note 1C to the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not experience significant changes in its activities from the continuation of the war during the reporting period. However, the Company’s management continues to believe that the general conditions have brought further difficulties in management’s efforts to seek additional financing arrangements.
Although the Company’s business and operations have not been materially impacted as of the date of these financial statements, any escalation or expansion of the war could have a negative impact on both global and regional conditions and may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Since this is an event that is not under the control of the Company and matters such as the fighting continuing or stopping may affect the Company’s assessments, as at the reporting date the Company is unable to assess the extent of the effect of the Iron Swords War on its business.
Note 2 - Interim Unaudited Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 8 - Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
On
May 29, 2023, a lawsuit was filed against the Company, the Subsidiary and Mr. Aharon Klein, a Company
Director and the Company’s Chief Technology Officer in the Tel Aviv District Court of Israel, by an individual who provided,
on part time basis, certain consulting services to the Subsidiary between October 2015 and October 2016, before the acquisition of
the Subsidiary by the Company. The suit alleges breach of contract by the defendants based on non-payment of amounts purportedly
owed to the plaintiff in respect of the services rendered, including the market value of the Company’s common stock that the
plaintiff alleges should have been issued to him in respect of services. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment that the
defendants breached certain agreements with the plaintiff and claimed damages in the aggregate amount of approximately $
On November 27, 2024, the first pre-trial hearing in the case was held. After directing questions for clarification to the parties, the honorable court referred the parties to mediation.

Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Further information on potential factors that could affect our business is described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on April 4, 2025. As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and “IR-Med” mean IR-Med, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary IR. Med Ltd. unless otherwise indicated or as otherwise required by the context.
Overview
We are in the process of developing point-of-care decision support devices based on the patented cutting-edge infrared spectroscopy and artificial intelligence, or AI, analysis technology platform, as a basis for point-of-care decision support devices. The electrooptic visual and infrared spectroscopy technology platform allows harmless and non-invasive gathering of bio-information from a patient’s blood and tissue. Bioinformation is then analyzed using our AI-based algorithms to provide healthcare professionals with decision support in the assessment and monitoring of various disease conditions. We plan to use our proceeds to continue development efforts of our products, while mainly focusing on the DiaSafe™ device, production and marketing of PressureSafe™: commercial units, and working capital.
PressureSafe™: Our first product based on this platform, is a handheld device designed to revolutionize the early assessment of pressure injuries, or PIs, affecting the skin and underlying tissue. PIs in the U.S. alone account for $26.8 billion in healthcare spending and result in 60,000 deaths annually. PressureSafe™ is expected to contribute to early assessment of PIs, regardless of patient skin tone, which we believe will drive equitable healthcare and help reduce the toll and cost of PIs. We plan to launch PressureSafe™ as a decision support system, or DSS, tool for caregivers in hospitals, nursing homes, and home-care companies. On April 9, 2024, the PressureSafe™ decision support device received U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, listing certification. PressureSafe™ is classified as a Class I device. We are currently working on completing the development of the commercial version of the PressureSafe™ device, with initial sales planned during the second half of 2025, following the listing by the FDA.
DiaSafe: Similarities in the physiological development of PIs and diabetic foot ulcers, or DFU, under the skin surface allow the IRMED PressureSafe™ device to be adopted to support the early assessment of DFU among diabetic patients at high risk of developing DFU. We are assessing and planning the development of our second product, which is a handheld optical monitoring device that will support early assessment of DFUs in lower limb skin and underlying tissue, primarily caused by prolonged pressure on the sole of diabetic patients, which sometimes is accompanied by other comorbidities as lower limb neuropathy.
Our novel technology platform will enable direct assessment of the development of a DFU before it becomes an open wound that may lead to limb amputation. The Israeli Innovation Authority, or IIA, has approved our plan to develop a diabetic foot ulcer device for early assessment of DFU. On January 25, 2024, the IIA approved a program to develop a device for the early assessment of diabetic foot ulcers among diabetic patients, with a project budget of NIS 3,761,978 (approximately US$ 1,030,000) which includes an amount equal to 50% grant of the total budget provided at the time of the grant, disbursed in installments over the course of 13 months, by the project’s progress. In consideration for the grant by the IIA, the subsidiary is required to pay royalties at the rate of 3%-5% from the total sales until the repayment date of the full amount of the grant, plus annual interest at the SOFR rate. In addition, the IIA must approve any arrangement whereby the Company seeks to transfer the technology relating to the project, or its development, from Israel. Following the IIA grant we plan to commence a clinical trial in the center of Israel’s leading diabetes clinic. On July 15, 2024, we announced that we received a grant from the IIA in the amount of approximately $500,000, to develop our platform technology for a new indication, a decision support device for the early assessment of diabetic foot ulcers. The grant’s 13-month development was finalized, as we achieved the project’s milestones. Computer simulations of infrared light reflectance from lesions under the skin surface have been completed.
Future indication as part of our research and development is an innovative otoscope, Nobiotics, to support physicians with an immediate indication as to whether mid-ear infection (otitis media), a common malady in children, is of a bacterial origin and thus requiring antibiotic treatment, or of a viral origin that consequently does not require antibiotic treatment.
13 |
Our technology platform utilizes AI. AI is a broad term generally used to describe conditions where a machine mimics “cognitive” functions associated with human intelligence, such as “learning” and “problem-solving.” Basic AI includes machine learning, where a machine uses algorithms to parse data, learn from it, and then suggest a determination or prediction about a given phenomenon. The machine is “trained” using large amounts of data and algorithms that provide it with the ability to learn how to perform various tasks.
The global diagnostics market is driven in large by solutions that can be applied in healthcare settings, as these tools will drive decisions regarding specific treatments and the associated outlays. However, despite advances in medical imaging and other diagnostic tools, misdiagnosis remains a common occurrence.
Our initial focus is on the development of decision support system solutions utilizing our proprietary platform for the pre-emptive diagnosis of PIs, and diabetic foot ulcers. Our current business plan focuses on two principal medical devices:
1. | PressureSafe™, a handheld skin-agnostic optical monitoring device that is being developed to support early assessment of PIs to the skin and underlying tissue, primarily caused by prolonged pressure associated with bed confinement; and | |
2. | DiaSafe, a handheld optical monitoring device that is being developed to support early assessment of DFUs in lower limb skin and underlying tissue, primarily caused by prolonged pressure on the sole of diabetic patients, which sometimes is accompanied by other comorbidities as lower limb neuropathy. |
Recent Developments
Israeli Innovation Authority
On April 6, 2025, we received an amount of NIS 644,551 (approximately $171,468), as an advance payment from the IIA to fund the development of a device for the assessment of diabetic foot ulcers before skin breakage among diabetic patients. The IIA approved a total budget in a total amount of NIS 4,603,938 (approximately $1,222,786), which includes a grant of 40% or NIS 1,841,575 (approximately $489,035). The IIA grant will be distributed in tranches based on specific milestones and the progress of product development, from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The approval of the research and development project by the IIA is subject to the provisions of the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development Law, 5744-1984 (the “Innovation Law”), as well as the rules, procedures, and guidelines established by the IIA. Pursuant to the terms of the grant, we are required to comply with all applicable regulatory and reporting obligations, including limitations relating to intellectual property and changes in ownership or control. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay royalties to the IIA for revenues generated in connection with the approved project, in accordance with the terms set forth in the grant approval and the Innovation Law.
Director Appointment
On April 29, 2025, our board of directors (the “Board”) appointed Mr. Yechiel Even to serve as a Class I director to fill an existing vacancy on the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Even will serve until his earlier removal or resignation. The Board determined that Mr. Even is an independent director as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, Mr. Even was appointed to serve on the Board’s audit committee. As remuneration for his service as a director, Mr. Even will receive the same fees as other non-executive directors. Except as otherwise set forth herein, there is no arrangement or understanding between us and Mr. Even and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director, and there are no transactions in which Mr. Even has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with Mr. Even’s appointment, we expect to enter into our standard indemnification agreement with Mr. Even, on substantially the same terms as the indemnification agreements previously entered into between us and each of our directors and executive officers.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist of salaries and related expenses, consulting fees, service providers’ costs, and overhead expenses. Research and development expenses decreased from $195,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $23,000 during the corresponding three-month period in 2025. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the use of third-party contractors for further research and development activities due to the completion of the development of the PressureSafe™ device and the measures we implemented to cut our costs in response to our cash flow situation, a reduction in payroll expenses, and a reduction in non-cash expenses recorded relating to stock-based compensation to employees.
Marketing Expenses. Marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and professional services. Marketing expenses decreased from $168,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $2,000 during the corresponding three-month period in 2025. The decrease resulted primarily from the reduction in non-cash expenses attributable to stock-based compensation granted to employees and service providers.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses and other non-personnel related expenses such as legal and accounting-related expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased from $295,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $228,000 in the corresponding three-month period in 2025. The decrease in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from a reduction in payroll expenses, and a reduction in fees for professional services following the cost-cutting measures we undertook as a response to our current cash flow limitations. partially offset by an increase in non-cash expenses recorded relating to stock-based compensation to an employee.
Loss. Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $657,000 compared to $773,000 for the corresponding three-month period in 2025. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to the increase in non-cash expenses recorded relating to shares issued related to the equity purchase agreement, partially offset by a reduction in payroll expenses, and a decrease in the use of third-party contractors for further research and development activities due to the completion of the development of the PressureSafe™ device and a reduction in fees for professional services following the cost-cutting measures we undertook as a response to our current cash flow limitations.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry, including but not limited to, the need for additional capital, the need to obtain marketing approval and reimbursement for any product candidate that we may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of our product candidates, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development of technological innovations by competitors, reliance on third-party manufacturers and the ability to transition from pilot-scale production to large-scale manufacturing of products.
From inception, we have funded our operations from a combination of loans and sales of equity instruments. In 2022 and 2023, we raised aggregate gross proceeds of $3,625,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, from sales of our equity and equity linked securities. In addition, on June 4 and July 4, 2024, we received aggregate proceeds of $755,000 from the sales of our shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock in a private placement offering.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $51,000 in cash resources and approximately $617,000 of current liabilities from operations.
The following table provides a summary of operating, investing, and financing cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (in thousands):

We have experienced operating losses since inception and had a total accumulated deficit of $17,511,000 as of March 31, 2025. We expect to incur additional costs and will require additional capital to realize our business plans. These losses have resulted in significant cash used in operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, our cash used in operations was approximately $110,000 and $358,000, respectively. As we continue to conduct our business activities, we expect that the cash needed to fund our operations will increase significantly over the next several years, as we will need to continue and intensify our research and development efforts for our product candidates (which are in various stages of development), strengthen our patent portfolio, establish operations processes, and pursue FDA clearance for our additional products, and international regulatory approvals.
On March 11, 2025, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Williamsburg, pursuant to which Williamsburg agreed to purchase up to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) of our Comon Stock (“Maximum Commitment Amount”) by delivering put notices (each, a “Put Notice”). The Purchase Agreement provides that we will sell the shares of Common Stock (the “Put Shares”) to Williamsburg pursuant to applicable Put Notices from time to time over a 24-month period (unless otherwise determined therein) in accordance with the terms and conditions the Purchase Agreement, commencing on March 11, 2025, and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Williamsburg shall have purchased Put Shares pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) March 11, 2027, or (iii) written notice of termination us to Williamsburg (which shall not occur at any time that Williamsburg holds any of the Put Shares) (the “Commitment Period”). Each Put Notice shall state the number of shares of the Common Stock Williamsburg is required to purchase, at such price as determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The per share purchase price for the Put Shares shall be equal to 90% of the market price defined as the average of the two (2) lowest Volume-Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the relevant clearing date, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P. or other reputable source. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Williamsburg may not acquire at any point, more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Williamsburg agreed to accept a Put Notice of up to $500,000 upon a registration statement being declared effective by the SEC.
As stated in the Purchase Agreement, the “Principal Market” includes any of the national exchanges (i.e. NYSE, NYSE AMEX, NASDAQ), or principal quotation systems (i.e. OTCQX, OTCQB, OTC Pink, the OTC Bulletin Board), or other principal exchange or recognized quotation system which is at the time the principal trading platform or market for the Company’s Common Stock.
As consideration for its commitment to purchase Put Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Williamsburg 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) following the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Williamsburg under the Purchase Agreement, including the Commitment Shares, were issued and will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
During the term of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we shall be entitled to put to the Investor, and the Investor shall be obligated to purchase, such number of shares of our common stock, such shares, the Put Shares, at such price as determined in accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreement. The per share purchase price for the Put Shares shall be equal to 90% of the market price defined as the average of the two (2) lowest Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the relevant Clearing Date (defined therein), as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P. or other reputable source. Further, in consideration of our Put rights, and subject to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we will issue to the Investor 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Investor may not acquire at any point, more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.
Effective March 26, 2025, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Mr. Ran Ziskind, Mr. Yaniv Cohen, and Mr. Oded Bashan for an aggregate amount of $31,200. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued unsecured convertible promissory notes, or the Notes, to Mr. Ziskind, Mr. Cohen, and Mr. Bashan in the principal amount of $10,400 for each Note. The Notes bear simple interest at a rate of 9% per annum and mature on the earlier of (i) March 26, 2026, or (ii) upon the completion by us of an equity or debt financing generating gross proceeds of at least $100,000. The Notes are convertible, at the election of the holder, on the maturity date into our shares of common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the applicable trading market as of the maturity date. The Notes are subject to customary events of default, upon which the outstanding principal and accrued interest may become immediately due and payable. We may not prepay the principal amount without the consent of a majority of the holders of all outstanding Notes, though accrued interest may be paid at any time.
16 |
We will need to obtain additional funding in order to pursue our business plans. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.
We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements through the second quarter of 2025. Our requirements for additional capital during this period will depend on many factors, including the following:
● | the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our development and engineering efforts to develop the PressureSafe™ and DiaSafe™ devices, clinical studies (to the extent necessary), preliminary testing activities and other related activities; |
● | the cost, timing and outcomes of regulatory related efforts for commercial sales approvals; |
● | the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; |
● | the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish; |
● | the timing, receipt and amount of sales, profit sharing or royalties, if any, from our potential products; |
● | the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and |
● | the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies, although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and as of the date of this report, we assessed our financial condition and concluded that based on our current and projected cash resources and commitments, as well as other factors mentioned above, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are planning to raise additional capital to continue our operations, as well as to explore additional avenues to increase revenues and reduce expenditures. We cannot be sure that future funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Due to the often-volatile nature of the financial markets, equity and debt financing may be difficult to obtain.
We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of private or public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, and other marketing and distribution arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights, future revenue streams, or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we raise additional capital through private or public equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, as defined by § 229.10(f)(1), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2025, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite periods and that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal accounting officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, our principal Chief Executive Officer and principal Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level, as further described below.
17 |
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 29, 2023, a lawsuit was filed against the Company, the Subsidiary and Mr. Aharon Klein, a Company Director and the Company’s Chief Technology Officer in the Tel Aviv District Court of Israel by an individual who provided, on a part time basis, certain consulting services to the Subsidiary between October 2015 through October 2016, prior to the acquisition of the Subsidiary by the Company. The lawsuit alleges breach of contract by the defendants based on non-payment of amounts purportedly owed to the plaintiff in respect of the services rendered, including the market value of the Company’s common stock that the plaintiff alleges should have been issued to him in respect of his services. The suit seeks declaratory judgment that the defendants breached certain agreements with the plaintiff and claimed damages in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.1 million based on the current exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Israeli NIS.
On November 27, 2024, the first pre-trial hearing in the case was held. After directing questions for clarification to the parties, the honorable court referred the parties to mediation. Mediation sessions were held in January 2025, and April 2025. The parties informed the honorable court on April 23, 2025, of the failure of the mediation process.
The Company believes that the allegations are baseless and without merit. The Company intends to vigorously defend its rights.
Other than as set forth above, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings. However, from time to time we may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions related to our intellectual property. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions related to our intellectual property. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as noted below.
Significant changes or developments in U.S. laws or policies, including changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto, may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial statements.
Significant changes or developments in U.S. laws and policies, such as laws and policies surrounding international trade, foreign affairs, manufacturing and development and investment in the territories and countries where we or our customers operate, can materially adversely affect our business and financial statements. Tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, may increase the cost of certain raw materials and components used in our products. If these tariffs remain in place or are expanded, or if new trade restrictions are implemented, our manufacturing costs could increase, which could materially and adversely affect our margins and financial results.
Furthermore, changes in trade policy have increased uncertainty in our industry, and any escalation in trade tensions could disrupt our supply chain, delay production timelines, or require costly modifications to sourcing and logistics strategies. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets.
