- Our ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers and sell additional products and services to our existing and new customers, is highly dependent on the actual and perceived stability of our business and financial condition.
- Customer demand for our products and services is based on many factors that are beyond our control.
- A significant portion of our revenue has been concentrated on a few large customers, including Alcon, one of our primary lenders, and terminations of agreements or cancellations or delays of orders by these customers may adversely affect our business.

- Loss or compromise of our HA bacterial cell bank assets could materially impact our business operations, product quality and competitive position.
- Our development and manufacturing activities may expose us to product liability claims.

- We may need to consider new business acquisitions to achieve our growth strategy, and any such acquisition would involve substantial effort and costs to complete and uncertainty relating to integration.
- Future resales, or the perception of future resales, of our Common Stock may cause the market price of our Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
- Our stock price may fluctuate in response to various conditions, many of which are beyond our control.
- Our Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock has rights, preferences, and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to, the rights of holders of our Common Stock.
- Our stockholders will experience significant dilution as a result of the issuance of shares of our Common Stock upon conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.
- Our corporate organizational documents and Delaware law have anti-takeover provisions, and our agreements contain certain provisions, that may inhibit or prohibit a takeover of us and the replacement or removal of our management.
- The outcome of existing and future litigation and regulatory proceedings and the related fees, costs and penalties could have a material adverse effect on our business.
- We are dependent on our key employees and if one or more of them were to leave, we could experience difficulties in replacing them or effectively transitioning their replacements and our operating results could suffer.
- Our reputation and business may be harmed if our computer network security or any of the databases containing our trade secrets, proprietary information or the personal information of our employees, or those of third parties, are compromised.
- We are implementing a new enterprise resource planning system, and challenges with the implementation of the system may impact our business and operations.
- Third parties may claim that our services or our customers’ products infringe their intellectual property rights.
