Administration continues to signal that it may alter trade agreements and terms between
China and the United States, including limiting trade with China, and may impose additional tariffs on imports from China. Our business could also be impacted by retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries in response to existing
or future tariffs, causing us to raise prices or make changes to our operations, any of which could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business may be impacted by changes in
general economic conditions.
Our business is subject to risks arising from changes in domestic and
global economic conditions, including adverse economic conditions in markets in which we operate, which may harm our business. For example, the current COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility and uncertainty in U.S. and international
markets. If our future customers significantly reduce spending in areas in which our technology and products are utilized, or prioritize other expenditures over our technology and products, our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects would be materially adversely affected.
Disruption to the global economy could also result in a number of
follow-on effects on our business, including a possible slow-down resulting from lower customer expenditures; inability of customers to pay for products, solutions or services on time, if at all; more restrictive export regulations which could
limit our potential customer base; negative impact on our liquidity, financial condition and share price, which may impact our ability to raise capital in the market, obtain financing and secure other sources of funding in the future on terms
favorable to us.
In addition, the occurrence of catastrophic events, such as hurricanes,
storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, medical epidemics and other catastrophes that adversely affect the business climate in any of our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some of our operations are located in areas that have been in the past, and may be in the future, susceptible to such occurrences.
The outcome of any future claims and litigation
could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may, from time to time, be subject to claims and may become party to
litigation in the normal course of business, including class action lawsuits. Such claims and litigation proceedings may be brought by third parties, including our customers, competitors, advisors, service providers, partners or collaborators,
employees, and governmental or regulatory bodies. The final outcome of these claims and litigation, including any settlements, may be significant and may differ substantially from our expectations. We may not be able to determine the amount of
any potential losses and other costs we may incur due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and settlement negotiations. In the event we are required or decide to pay amounts in connection with any claims or lawsuits, such amounts could be
significant and could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We do not expect to carry any business
interruption insurance or any other insurance (except for director and officer, property and product liability insurance). As a result, we may incur uninsured losses, increasing the possibility that you would lose your entire investment in our
company.
Our products and services are in the medical imaging field and so may
be subject to claims. We are not immune from product liability or other product claim risks, and we may not be able to maintain insurance on acceptable terms against such risks or that such insurance will be sufficient to protect us against
potential claims or that insurance will be available in the future in amounts sufficient to protect us. A product liability claim or other claim, as well as any claims for uninsured liabilities or in excess of insured liabilities, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Certain of our directors and/or officers may
have interests that compete with ours.
Certain of our directors currently own, operate and manage other
entities, which may have similar or different objectives than ours. Such activities could detract from the time these people have to allocate to our affairs. We had previously entered into a consulting agreement and a service agreement with an
entity owned by Ran Poliakine, and we are currently party to a service agreement with an entity of which Onn Fenig and Ran Poliakine each serves as a director and Ran Poliakine is a significant shareholder. Furthermore, Ran Poliakine is
