ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Note 1: ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

Lazex Inc. (“Lazex”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 12, 2015. On August 23, 2019, the majority owner of Lazex entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Slinger Bag Americas Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Slinger Bag Americas”), which was 100% owned by Slinger Bag Ltd. (“SBL”), an Israeli company. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Slinger Bag Americas acquired 2,500 shares of common stock of Lazex for $332,239. On September 16, 2019, SBL transferred its ownership of Slinger Bag Americas to Lazex in exchange for the 2,500 shares of Lazex acquired on August 23, 2019. As a result of these transactions, Lazex owned 100% of Slinger Bag Americas and the sole shareholder of SBL owned 2,500 shares of common stock (approximately 82%) of Lazex. Effective September 13, 2019, Lazex changed its name to Slinger Bag Inc.

 

On October 31, 2019, Slinger Bag Americas acquired control of Slinger Bag Canada, Inc., (“Slinger Bag Canada”) a Canadian company incorporated on November 3, 2017. There were no assets, liabilities or historical operational activity of Slinger Bag Canada.

 

On February 10, 2020, Slinger Bag Americas became the 100% owner of SBL, along with SBL’s wholly owned subsidiary Slinger Bag International (UK) Limited (“Slinger Bag UK”), which was formed on April 3, 2019. On February 10, 2021, Zehava Tepler, the owner of SBL, contributed Slinger Bag UK to Slinger Bag Americas for no consideration.

 

Effective February 25, 2020, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 300,000,000 via a four-to-one forward split of its outstanding shares of common. All share and per share information contained in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split. Effective June 27, 2024, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 300,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.

 

On June 21, 2021, Slinger Bag Americas entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Charles Ruddy to acquire a 100% ownership stake in Foundation Sports Systems, LLC (“Foundation Sports”).

 

On February 2, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Flixsense Pty, Ltd. (“Gameface”). As a result of the share purchase agreement, Gameface became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On February 22, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement with PlaySight Interactive Ltd. (“PlaySight”) and Rohit Krishnan (the “Shareholders’ Representative”). As a result of the merger agreement, PlaySight would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

During April 2022, the Company determined that the technology utilized in the Foundation Sports acquired entity would take substantially more financial resources and more time to bring to market and achieve profitability than originally anticipated. As a result, the goodwill and intangible assets related to Foundation Sports were fully impaired as of April 30, 2022, resulting in an impairment loss of $3,486,599. In addition, during April 2022 the Company decided to sell a portion of Foundation Sports. The Company continued to classify Foundation Sports in continuing operations, until December 5, 2022 when it sold 75% of Foundation Sports back to the original owners at which time it deconsolidated this subsidiary and recorded a loss on the sale. The Company also determined to dispose of the PlaySight entity during the year ended April 30, 2023. The Company completed the sale in November 2022 and recorded a loss on the sale at that time.

 

In April 2022, the Company changed its domicile from Nevada to Delaware. On April 7, 2022, the Company effected a name change to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. We also changed our ticker symbol, “CNXA”. Connexa is now the holding company under which Slinger Bag and Gameface reside.

 

 

The operations of Slinger Bag Inc., Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, Slinger Bag UK, SBL and Gameface are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

On June 14, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, where the Company’s common stock began to trade on a reverse split adjusted basis. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. All references to the outstanding stock have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this reverse split. The Company also consummated a public offering of shares of its common stock and the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

On November 17, 2022, Gabriel Goldman and Rohit Krishnan resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company. Gabriel and Rohit were members of the audit and compensation committees. Gabriel Goldman was a member of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Neither Gabriel nor Rohit advised the Company of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

 

On November 27, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with PlaySight, Chen Shachar and Evgeni Khazanov (together, the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Buyer purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PlaySight from the Company in exchange for (1) releasing the Company from all of PlaySight’s obligations towards its vendors, employees, tax authorities and any other (past, current and future) creditors of PlaySight; (2) waiver by the Buyer of 100% of the personal consideration owed to them under their employment agreements in the total amount of U.S. $600,000 (which would have been increased in December 2022 to U.S. $800,000); and (3) cash consideration of U.S. $2 million to be paid to the Company as follows:

 

  (i) A promissory note in the amount of U.S. $2 million was issued and delivered to the Company (the “Promissory Note”).
     
  (ii) The maturity date of the Promissory Note was December 31, 2023 subject to a one year extension in the discretion of the Buyer until December 31, 2024. The Buyer timely elected to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Note to December 31, 2024.
     
  (iii) The Promissory Note can be partially paid over the time, but in the event it is not paid in full by December 31, 2024, then the remaining amount due (i.e., U.S. $2 million less any amount paid) will be converted into ordinary shares of PlaySight (the “Deposited Shares”), which will be deposited with the escrow company of Altshuler Shaham Trust Ltd. (the “Escrow Agent”) for the benefit of the Company or, at the election of the Company, will be issued in the form of a stock certificate or recorded in some other market-standard format to be held by the Escrow Agent.
     
  (iv) The number of the Deposited Shares will be determined according to the post-money valuation of the last investment round of the Company, and in the absence of such investment round, the total number of the Deposited Shares will be $2 million divided by the Company’s valuation to be determined at that time by a third- party appraiser, to be nominated by both the Company and the Buyer (the “Appraiser”). The Company and the Buyer have agreed that the Appraiser will be Murray Devine Valuation Advisers, to the extent their cost of the appraisal will not be higher than the cost of other appraisers from the Big 4 accounting firms (i.e., E&Y, KPMG, PWC and Deloitte). The Company and the Buyer have agreed to split the cost of the Appraiser.

 

The Company has also released PlaySight from all of its obligations (except for those created by the Agreement) in respect of the Company, including any inter-company debts on the books, and the Buyer has released the Company from all of its obligations (except for those created by the Agreement) in respect of PlaySight and the Buyer.

 

The reason for the entry into the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby was to eliminate the need for the Company to provide further financing for PlaySight’s operations.

 

 

On December 5, 2022, the Company assigned 75% of its membership interest in Foundation Sports to Charles Ruddy, its founder and granted him the right for a period of three years to purchase the remaining 25% of its Foundation Sports membership interests for $500,000 in cash. As of December 5, 2022, the results of Foundation Sports will no longer be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, and the investment was accounted for as an equity method investment. On December 5, 2022, the Company analyzed this investment and established a reserve for the investment at the full amount of $500,000. The Company intends to enter into a database access and marketing agreement with Foundation Sports pursuant to which Foundation Sports will (i) provide the Company with sporting or racquet facility information and contact data of its customers (subject to applicable law) and (ii) publish any promotional content, call to action, survey or similar promotional communications provided by the Company to Foundation Sport’s customers for its Customers to promote said material to their extended network of consumers in exchange for 7% of any gross revenue to be generated from such activities.

 

On March 7, 2023, Slinger Bag entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for Padel Tennis with a company located in Valencia, Spain called with Desarrollo y Promocion de Padel S.L. This agreement is contracted to deliver approximately $15 million in revenue by the end of 2028.

 

On September 13, 2023 the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in which the following items were approved: (i) the issuance of (i) 1,274 shares of the our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, that were issued on October 3, 2023, and, (ii) 14,753 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants at an exercise price of $0.00002 per share, (iii) 16,026 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of 5-Year Warrants at an exercise price of $312 per share, (iv) 32,052 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of 7.5 Year Warrants at an exercise price of $344 per share and (v) 22,625 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of 5.5 Year Warrants at an at an exercise price per share equal to $1,768per share to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd and (ii) a reverse stock split of our common stock within a range of 1-for-10 to 1-fo-40 (“Reverse Stock Split”), with the Board of Directors of the Company to set the specific ratio and determine the date for the reverse split to be effective and any other action deemed necessary to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, without further approval or authorization of stockholders, at any time within 12 months of the special meeting date.

 

On September 25, 2023, as a result of the shareholder approval obtained at the special meeting of stockholders on September 13, 2023 and the Reverse Stock Split, the aggregate number of Pre-Funded Warrants, 5-Year Warrants, 5.5-Year Warrants and 7-Year Warrants increased from 85,455 to 471,348 due to certain adjustments that were required to be made by the terms of the relevant warrants in the event of receipt of shareholder approval and the occurrence of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

On November 16, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Agile Capital Funding (the “ACF Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company sold $693,500 in future receivables to ACF (the “ACF Receivable Amount”) in exchange for $450,000 in cash. The Company agreed to pay ACF $28,895.83 each week until the ACF Receivable Amount is paid in full.

 

In order to secure payment and performance of the Company’s obligations to ACF under the ACF Agreement, the Company granted to ACF a security interest in the following collateral: all present and future accounts receivable. The Company also agreed not to create, incur, assume, or permit to exist, directly or indirectly, any lien on or with respect to any of such collateral.

 

As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on September 9, 2020, the Company entered into a service agreement dated September 7, 2020 (the “YK Employment Agreement”) with Yonah Kalfa, the Company’s chief innovation officer and member of the Company’s board of directors. Pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) of the YK Employment Agreement, the Company owes Mr. Kalfa $1,137 in salary (the “Salary Compensation”) through January 31, 2024 to Mr. Kalfa.

 

The Company was unable to pay Mr. Kalfa any of the compensation in cash and, given Mr. Kalfa’s extraordinary contribution to the Company, pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the YK Employment Agreement, on January 20, 2024 the Company agreed to pay $1 million of the $1.137 million owed (with Mr. Kalfa waiving the right to receive the $137,000 balance) via an issuance of shares of Common Stock as memorialized by that certain Deferred Payment Conversion Agreement with Mr. Kalfa, dated January 20, 2024 (the “2024 Agreement”). The 2024 Agreement sets forth the price per share of the shares to be issued (267,380), the number of shares to be issued using that price ($3.74), and the amount due to Mr. Kalfa through January 31, 2024.

 

 

Due to administrative delays, the Company did not issue the shares in January. Rather, on March 15, 2024, the Company issued 220,265 shares of Common Stock. This is the amount of stock owed for a $1 million payment at a conversion price of $4.54, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on March 13, 2024 (and a higher price than the closing price on March 14, 2024).

 

No shareholder approval was required for the issuance of the 220,265 shares because it was less than 20% of the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of March 14, 2024 and was issued at a price per share ($4.54) above the Minimum Price as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

 

The Company sought and obtained shareholder approval, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), to issue the balance of 47,115 shares (267,380 minus 220,265) to Mr. Kalfa.

 

The Shares were issued on May 24, 2024 without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering.

 

On January 20, 2024, the Company agreed to issue to Mike Ballardie, the Company’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer, warrants to purchase 317,514 shares of common stock (the “MB Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.02 per share and with a term of 10-years as compensation for his extraordinary contribution to the company, in exchange for Mr. Ballardie’s waiver of his right to receive any bonus payments as described in clause 2.2 of his service agreement with Slinger Bag International (UK) Limited dated 1 November 2020 (the “Service Agreement”) to which he would otherwise be entitled to receive through January 31, 2024.

 

Acquisition and Recent Transactions

 

On March 18, 2024, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) and a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement,” and together with the Share Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”) to acquire a total of 70% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Yuanyu Enterprise Management Co., Limited (“YYEM”), a Hong Kong company, from the sole shareholder of YYEM, Mr. Hongyu Zhou (the “Seller”), for a combined $56 million. The consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Agreements will result in a change in control of the Company as the shareholders of YYEM will become the owners 55.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). As part of this transaction, as further described below under the heading of “The Separation Agreement”, the Company has agreed to sell its wholly owned subsidiary, Slinger Bag Americas Inc., to a newly established entity to be owned by Yonah Kalfa and Mike Ballardie.

 

The Acquisition Structure

 

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase, and the Seller agreed to sell, 2,000 ordinary shares of YYEM, representing 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of YYEM, for the purchase price of $16,500,000 (the “Share Purchase Consideration”), payable in cash (the “Share Purchase Transaction”). The Share Purchase Transaction closed on March 20, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase, and the Seller has agreed to sell, 5,000 ordinary shares of YYEM, representing 50% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of YYEM, for 8,127,572 newly issued shares of Common Stock to the Seller (the “Share Exchange Transaction,” and together with the Share Purchase Transaction, the “Transactions”). The shares are expected to represent 55.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction (the “Share Exchange Consideration”).

 

The Exchange Shares will be issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon a safe harbor for offshore transactions or an exemption from registration for transactions not involving a public offering and, as such, will constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the Exchange Shares generally may not be offered or sold publicly unless they have been held for at least six months and subject to other conditions.

 

 

Separation Agreement

 

In connection with the Exchange Transaction, the Company has agreed that at or prior to the closing date of the Acquisition (the “Closing Date”), it will enter into a separation agreement to sell, transfer and assign all or substantially all of its legacy business, assets and liabilities related to or necessary for the operations of its “Slinger Bag” business or products (the “Legacy Business”) to a newly established entity (“NewCo”), and that after the Closing Date, NewCo will have the sole right to and obligations of the Legacy Business and will be liable to the Company for any losses arising from third-party claims against the Company that arise from liabilities related to the Legacy Business (the “Separation”). NewCo will be owned by Yonah Kalfa and Mike Ballardie.

 

On a pro forma basis, as of April 30, 2024, the Legacy Business’ assets were approximately $5.1 million (which represents the assets of the Company as of January 31, 2024, minus, on a pro forma basis, the $16.5 million used for the purchase of 20% ownership of YYEM in April 2024), and the liabilities of the Legacy Business were $12.0 million (which represents the liabilities of the Company as of April 30, 2024).

 

Financial Accommodations

 

As an inducement to the Company to complete the Transactions, the Agreements provide that aggregate payments of (a) $4,500,000 shall be made to the Company in cash by YYEM and (b) $500,000 shall be made to NewCo (as defined under the header “The Separation Agreement”) in cash by YYEM, as follows: (i) $800,000 payable within two (2) business days of the date of the Agreements; (ii) $1,200,000 payable within three (3) business days of the Company changing its ticker symbol from “CNXA” to “YYAI,” or such other symbol as the parties may agree; (iii) $2,000,000 payable at the Closing and (iv) $500,000 to be paid within 30 days from the Closing Date and paid to NewCo. Out of the $4,500,000, the Company paid $2,142,857 to certain companies for arranging the Transactions.

At or after the Closing, the board of directors of Connexa (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) shall comprise those individuals designated by YYEM Seller, and all current members of the Board shall resign with such resignation being effective on the later of the Closing or the appointment or election of the new directors.

From September 18, 2023 through April 30, 2024, the Company issued Armistice 473,935 shares of Common Stock related to the exercise of the pre-funded warrants.

Operations

 

The Company operates in the sports equipment and technology business. The Company is the owner of the Slinger Launcher, which is comprised of a portable tennis ball launcher, a portable padel tennis ball launcher and a portable pickleball launcher and Gameface, providing AI technology and performance analytics.

 

From inception to date, we have been focused on the ball sport market globally. Our first product, the Slinger Bag Launcher, is a patented, highly portable, versatile and affordable ball launcher built into an easy to transport wheeled trolley bag.

 

Tennis ball machines have been around since the 1950’s when they were introduced by Rene Lacoste. Improvements to performance were made in the 1970’s when Prince started its tennis business on the back of its first product - Little Prince - which was a vacuum operated ball machine. In the 1990’s the first battery operated machines came to the market and since that time very little, if anything, has changed in the structure of ball machines products outside of added computerization. Typically, the machines being marketed by traditional ball machine brands are large, cumbersome and awkward to operate. They are also generally expensive - often well above U.S. $1,000 compared to the entry price of $700 for a Slinger Bag Launcher. We believe that up until the introduction of the Slinger Bag Launcher, the majority of traditional tennis ball machines were sold to tennis facilities, institutions and tennis teachers, with only a few being sold directly to tennis playing consumers.

Impact of Russian and Ukrainian Conflict and Israel-Hamas War

 

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. We are closely monitoring the unfolding events due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its regional and global ramifications. We have one distributor in Russia, which is not material to our overall financial results. We do not have operations in Ukraine or Belarus.

 

In October 2023, Hamas attacked Israel and has been engaged in warfare with Israel to-date.

 

We are monitoring any broader economic impact from these conflicts. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. However, to the extent that such military action spreads to other countries, intensifies, or otherwise remains active, such action could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The Company continues to carefully monitor the global COVID-19 pandemic status and its impact on its business. In that regard, while the Company has continued to sell its products it has previously experienced certain minor disruptions in its supply chains. The Company expects the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its effect on the Company’s financial and operational results, to be dictated by, among other things, the on-going global efforts to contain it. While the Company has not experienced any material disruptions to its business and operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible such disruptions may occur in the future which may impact its financial and operational results, and which could be material.

 

Impact of Russian and Ukrainian Conflict

 

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. We are closely monitoring the unfolding events due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its regional and global ramifications. We have one distributor in Russia, which is not material to our overall financial results. We do not currently have operations in Ukraine or Belarus. We are monitoring any broader economic impact from the current crisis. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. However, to the extent that such military action spreads to other countries, intensifies, or otherwise remains active, such action could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Impact of Israel and Hamas Conflict

 

Because we develop products in Israel and our chief marketing officer is located in Israel, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions affecting Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its neighboring countries and other hostile non-state actors. These conflicts have involved missile strikes, hostile infiltrations and terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, which have negatively affected business conditions in Israel.

 

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants and members of other terrorist organizations infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets. Thereafter, these terrorists launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip. As of October 7, 2023 , such attacks collectively resulted in over 1,478 deaths and over 5,400 injured people, in addition to the kidnapping of a currently indefinite number of civilians, including women and children. Shortly following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas.

 

The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict, and as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. On October 9, 2023, the Central Bank of Israel announced its intent to sell up to $30 billion order to protect the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) from collapse, however despite the foregoing announcement the NIS weakened to approximately 3.92 NIS for one US dollar as of the same day. In addition, on October 9, 2023, the Tel Aviv-35 stock index of blue-chip companies dropped by 6.4% whereas the benchmark TA-125 index fell by 6.2%. These events may imply wider macroeconomic indications of a deterioration of Israel’s economic standing, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to effectively conduct is business, operations and affairs.

 

On July 31, 2024, Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in Tehran, Iran, which, although not commented on or confirmed by Israel, is largely believed to be attributable to Israel. On July 31, 2024, Israel killed Fouad Shukur, a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon. These actions have caused both Iran and Hezbollah to threaten to retaliate against Israel (although to-date, no retaliatory actions have been confirmed).

 

It is possible that other terrorist organizations will join the hostilities as well, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank. In the event that hostilities disrupt the development of our products, our ability to deliver products to customers in a timely manner to meet our contractual obligations with customers and vendors could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

 

As a result of the Israeli security cabinet’s decision to declare war against Hamas, several hundred thousand Israeli reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service. If any of our employees and consultants in Israel are called for service in the current war with Hamas, our operations may be disrupted by such absences, which may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Additionally, the absence of employees of our Israeli suppliers and contract manufacturers due to their military service in the current war or future wars or other armed conflicts may disrupt their operations, in which event our ability to deliver products to customers may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, popular uprisings in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa have affected the political stability of those countries. Such instability may lead to a deterioration in the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and these countries, such as Turkey. Moreover, some countries around the world restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region continues or increases. These restrictions may limit materially our ability to obtain raw materials from these countries or sell our products to companies and customers in these countries. In addition, there have been increased efforts by activists to cause companies and consumers to boycott Israeli goods. Such efforts, particularly if they become more widespread, may materially and adversely impact our ability to sell our products outside of Israel.

 

Prior to the Hamas attack in October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political debate and unrest. In response to such initiative, many individuals, organizations and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed changes may negatively impact the business environment in Israel including due to reluctance of foreign investors to invest or transact business in Israel as well as to increased currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates, increased volatility in security markets, and other changes in macroeconomic conditions. The risk of such negative developments has increased in light of the recent Hamas attacks and the war against Hamas declared by Israel. To the extent that any of these negative developments do occur, they may have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our ability to raise additional funds, if deemed necessary by our management and board of directors.
