RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as the following risk factor, which supplements or augments the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

The sale of a substantial amount of our shares of Common Stock, including the resale of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the selling stockholders in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock and have a substantial dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

We are registering for resale 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock held by the selling stockholders. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of Common Stock in the public market, including by the selling stockholders, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock, and the market value of our other securities. We cannot predict if and when the selling stockholders will sell such shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock. Any such issuance, the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the automatic conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock upon exercise of the Warrants into shares of Common Stock could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline. The following hypothetical scenarios describe potential issuances of Common Stock to the selling stockholders, without giving effect to the beneficial ownership limitations of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock as provided in the Certificate of Designation.

Scenario 1: Assuming a conversion date of May 11, 2021 and based on the Series B Conversion Price of $2.85 calculated as of such date, we will be required to issue up to 5,684,211 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate if the selling stockholders elect to convert all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and elect to exercise the Warrants in full. Based on the market price of $3.30 per share of Common Stock as of May 11, 2021, the selling stockholders will hold Common Stock with an aggregate value of approximately $18.8 million. Therefore, assuming a sale price of $3.30 per share of Common Stock, the selling stockholders could realize an aggregate gross profit of $3.8 million, based on an initial investment of $5.0 million by the selling stockholders in the March 2021 Private Placement and $10.0 million payable to us by the selling stockholders upon exercise of the Warrants in full.

Scenario 2 (Minimum Conversion Price Scenario): Based on the minimum Series B Conversion Price of $1.00, we will be required to issue up to 16,200,000 shares of Common Stock if the selling stockholders elect to convert all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and elect to exercise the Warrants in full. Assuming a market price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, the selling stockholders will hold Common Stock with an aggregate value of $16.2 million. Therefore, assuming a sale price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, the selling stockholders could realize an aggregate gross profit of $1.2 million based on an initial investment of $5.0 million by the selling stockholders in the March 2021 Private Placement and $10.0 million payable to us by the selling stockholders upon exercise of the Warrants in full.

In addition, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, upon the occurrence of certain Triggering Events (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), including, without limitation, our failure to provide an effective registration permitting the sale of the securities offered hereby, our failure to timely deliver the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and if we do not have shares authorized for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock has the right to require us to adjust the Series B Conversion Price such that the conversion price will equal lesser of (x) lesser of (i) 125% of the VWAP during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) 70% of the lowest VWAP on a trading day during the 10 trading days prior to and ending on, and including, the date of the Triggering Event, and (y) 70% of the lowest VWAP on a trading day during the 10 trading days prior to and ending on, and including, the conversion date, subject to a conversion price floor of $1.00. If elected by the holder, upon such Triggering Event, we will be required to instead pay to such holder, for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held, the sum of (a) the greater of (i) 120% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding and (ii) the product of (y) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Triggering Event and (z) the stated value divided by the then conversion price, plus (b) all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, plus (c) all liquidated damages and other costs, expenses or amounts due in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the documents that are incorporated by reference, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). Any statements in this prospectus about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “would” or the negative of these words and similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. For example, statements concerning financial condition, possible or assumed future results of operations, growth opportunities, industry ranking, plans and objectives of management, markets for our Common Stock and future management and organizational structure are all forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement.

Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors discussed in this prospectus, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or any of our other filings with the SEC that is incorporated by reference herein. Some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

The foregoing list sets forth some, but not all, of the factors that could affect our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference herein and have filed as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate as of the date hereof. Because the risk factors referred to in this prospectus, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or any of our other filings with the SEC, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this prospectus, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the shares of Commons Stock covered by this prospectus will go to the selling stockholders. We expect that the selling stockholders will sell their shares of Common Stock as described under “Plan of Distribution.”

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The selling stockholders will determine at what price they may sell the securities offered by this prospectus, and such sales may be made at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, varying prices determined at the time of sale, or negotiated prices. For more information, see “Plan of Distribution.”

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock previously issued in connection with our private placement that closed in March 2021. For additional information on the private placements and regarding the issuance of the securities in such private placement, see “Prospectus Summary – March 2021 Private Placement.” We are registering the shares of Common Stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares of Common Stock for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Warrants and Series B Preferred Stock issued, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the selling stockholders. The column entitled “Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned Prior to this Offering” lists the number the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or the Warrants to purchase the shares of Common Stock, as of March 29, 2021, assuming exercise of the Warrants and the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into the maximum shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Under the terms of the Certificate of Designation, a selling stockholder may not convert the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The number of shares in the table below do not reflect these limitations.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following is a brief description of our Common Stock and, to the extent the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock may materially limit or qualify the rights evidenced by our Common Stock, we describe our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. This description of the terms of our Common Stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), and the full text of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) and our bylaws (“Bylaws”).

As of March 29, 2021, our authorized share capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 3,506,752 were outstanding, 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, including 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, of which 217,267 were outstanding and 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, of which 5,000 were outstanding.

We implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of Common Stock that was effective on January 23, 2020. All share and related option and warrant information presented in this prospectus have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares and the increase in the share price which resulted from this action.

Common Stock

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of legally available funds. However, the current policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for our operations and expansion. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of or provision for all liabilities. The holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue.

Preferred Stock

Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, our Board is expressly granted authority to authorize the issuance from time to time of shares of preferred stock in one or more series, for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as our Board may from time to time determines, and by filing a certificate pursuant to applicable law of the State of Delaware to establish from time to time for each such series the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designations, powers, rights and preferences of the shares of each such series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof to the fullest extent permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation and the laws of the State of Delaware, including, without limitation, voting rights (if any), dividend rights, dissolution rights, conversion rights, exchange rights and redemption rights thereof.

Series A Preferred Stock

Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to the number of votes per share equal to 2,000 shares of Common Stock. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend on each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum on the Aggregate Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation and Restatement of Rights, Preferences and restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock, the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) then in effect, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Such dividend is payable in cash but may be paid in shares of Common Stock in our sole discretion if the shares of Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held, an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation), plus unpaid dividends, if any. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Aggregate Stated Value by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation), in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion, initially set at $0.25. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder for the payment of cash by us to the holder equal to the Aggregate Stated Value of the shares that the holder elects to redeem. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and we may not take certain actions without the written consent of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series A Certificate of Designation to change the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, create or authorize additional class or series of stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or create, authorize the creation of, issue or authorize the issuance of, any debt security which is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security, if such equity security ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or liquidation rights.

Series B Preferred Stock

Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend on each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, in cash or at the Holder’s option, in fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at the Dividend Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). Such dividends are payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Certificate of Designation, and which includes the Series A Preferred Stock) by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), plus unpaid dividends or liquidated damages, if any. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Series B Conversion Price, subject to a minimum of $1.00, but not to exceed $1.50, subject to further adjustment in the event that the Company, subject to certain exemptions, disposes of or issues any common stock or securities convertible into, exercisable, or exchangeable for common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than the applicable Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance. We are entitled to redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and we may not take certain actions without the written consent of at least fifty one percent (51%) in Stated Value of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, pay cash dividends or distributions on Junior Securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), or repay, repurchase or offer to repay, or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or Junior Securities.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the DGCL

Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, may have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or making a tender offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable. Such provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In particular, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws and Delaware law, as applicable, among other things:

These provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with its board. These provisions may delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Advance Notice Bylaws. Our Bylaws contain an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before any meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our Board. Stockholders at any meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our Board or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our corporate secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although the Bylaws do not give our Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

Interested Stockholder Transactions. We may become subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits “business combinations” between a publicly-held Delaware corporation and an “interested stockholder,” which is generally defined as a stockholder who becomes a beneficial owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder.

Limitations on Liability, Indemnification of Officers and Directors and Insurance

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors and our Certificate of Incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. Our Certificate of Incorporation includes provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as our director or officer or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. Our Certificate of Incorporation expressly authorizes us to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect us, our directors, officers and certain employees from some liabilities. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. The provisions will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding against any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors or executive officers, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of our Common Stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:

The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling security holder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or a prospectus supplement. In the post-effective amendment or the prospectus supplement, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

If any of the shares of Common Stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether any of the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.

We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the shares being offered under this prospectus. However, each selling security holder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discounts, commissions and similar selling expenses they incur.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify one another against certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by DLA Piper LLP (US), Phoenix, Arizona. If the securities are distributed in an underwritten offering, certain legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters by counsel identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
