  • These risks include, among others, the following key risks: Risks Related to Our Business ● We may not successfully implement our business strategies, including achieving our growth objectives and the implementation of our BNB digital treasury strategy. ● We may not successfully implement our business strategies for our Therapeutic DNA Production Services, including but not limited to the sale or licensing of our technologies. ● We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. ● Sales of a significant number of shares of our Common Stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock. ● Our management may invest or otherwise use the proceeds of any offering by the Company in ways with which you may not agree or in ways that may not yield a return, including using the net proceeds to purchase additional BNB, or for stock repurchases. ● If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our BNB reserves, which could adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and growth prospects. ● If we are unable to maintain and implement effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our reported financial information and the market price of our common stock may be negatively affected. ● If we are unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing standards, we could be delisted from Nasdaq, which would negatively impact our business, our ability to raise capital and the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
  • Risks Related to Cryptocurrencies ● The further development and acceptance of the BNB Chain and other cryptocurrency networks, which represent a relatively new and rapidly changing industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. ● The digital asset trading platforms on which cryptocurrency trades are relatively new and largely unregulated or may not be complying with existing regulations. ● The availability of spot exchange-traded products and futures exchange-traded funds for BNB and other digital assets may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. ● The trading prices of many digital assets, including BNB, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. ● We may be subject to regulatory developments related to cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and the price of our common stock. ● Loss or theft of private keys or breaches of our digital wallets could result in the permanent loss of our BNB and materially adversely affect our business. ● The emergence or growth of other digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, could have a negative impact on the price of BNB and adversely affect our business. ● The lack of legal recourse and insurance for digital assets increases the risk of total loss in the event of theft or destruction. ● The U.S. federal, the state, local and non-U.S. income tax treatment of transactions in digital assets is unclear.
  • Risks Related to Investing in BNB ● BNB is subject to extreme price volatility, and any sustained decline in the market price of BNB could lead to substantial losses on our digital asset holdings and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. ● BNB and BNB Chain have links to, and may be controlled by, Binance and its principals. ● The value of our common stock depends on the development and acceptance of the BNB Chain.
  • The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of the BNB Chain may adversely affect an investment in our common stock. ● Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry, and the price of our common stock would depend on the acceptance of BNB. ● Regulatory changes or actions in foreign jurisdictions may affect the price of our common stock or restrict the use of BNB, mining activity or the operation of their networks or the global BNB markets in a manner that adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of our common stock.
  • Risks Related to Our Digital Asset Treasury Strategy ● The Company has minimal operating history in investing in cryptocurrencies, blockchain validation services, blockchain lending services or other decentralized finance services. ● The success of the Company’s cryptocurrency treasury strategy will be dependent on the Services Provider. ● The Company’s dependence on international Providers (as defined below) may involve their holding of Account (as defined below) assets and cash in foreign jurisdictions and may involve risks of loss or other special considerations. ● We have shifted our business strategy towards a focus on BNB, and we may be unable to successfully implement this new strategy. ● There is a possibility that BNB and/or our Trust Units may be classified as a “security.” If BNB and/or our Trust Units is classified as a “security,” that would subject us to additional regulation and could materially impact the operations of our treasury strategy and our business. ● If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions likely would make it impractical for us to continue segments of our business as currently contemplated. ● We and our Services Provider will rely on technical infrastructure to manage our digital asset holdings and technical changes, software upgrades, soft or hard forks, cybersecurity incidents or other changes to the underlying blockchain network of such infrastructure could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of our common stock.
  • Risks Relating to Our Business: We may not successfully implement our business strategies, including achieving our growth objectives and the implementation of our BNB Strategy.
  • Our various business strategies and initiatives, including our growth, operational and management initiatives and the development in particular of our BNB Strategy, are subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.
  • The execution of our business strategy and our financial performance will continue to depend in significant part on our ability to obtain sufficient financing and on our executive management team and other key management personnel, our executive management team’s ability to execute new operational initiatives, and certain matters outside of our control.
  • We may not successfully implement our Therapeutic DNA Production Services business strategies, including but not limited to the sale or licensing of our technologies.
  • Our growth, operational and management initiatives and the development of our Therapeutic DNA Production Services, are subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.
  • As these initiatives are undertaken, we may not fully achieve our goal of selling and/or licensing our technologies.
  • Rapidly changing technology and extensive competition in synthetic DNA could make our Therapeutic DNA Production Services obsolete or non-competitive unless we continue to develop and manufacture new and improved services or products and pursue new market opportunities.
  • Our future success in our Therapeutic DNA Production Services business will depend on our ability to continually improve the services we are developing and producing, to develop and introduce new services that address the evolving needs of our customers on a timely and cost-effective basis and to pursue new market opportunities that develop as a result of technological and scientific advances.
  • Our future success in our Therapeutic DNA Production Services business also depends on our ability to manufacture these new and improved products and services to meet customer demand in a timely and cost-effective manner, including our ability to resolve manufacturing issues that may arise as we commence production of any new products and services we develop.
  • If any of these risks occur, our Therapeutic DNA Production Services business could be significantly harmed.
  • Stockholders may suffer substantial dilution if certain provisions in the Series A Warrants, Series E Warrants, Advisory Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants, or Consultant Warrants are utilized.
  • On May 29, 2024, we closed on such date a public offering whereupon we issued and sold units consisting of common stock purchase warrants to purchase one share of our common stock (the “Series A Warrants”), which may be exercised through cashless exercise if, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Warrants by the holder thereof.
  • If the Series A Warrants are exercised by way of a cashless exercise, such exercising holder will receive shares of our common stock for each Series A Warrant.
  • Pursuant to the closing of the Private Placement, the Series E Warrants, Advisory Warrants, and Consultant Warrants were issued.
  • Additionally, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company sold to Lucid warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 5.0% of our common stock sold in the Private Placement at an aggregate price of $50.
  • If the Series E Warrants, Advisory Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants, or Consultant Warrants are exercised by way of a cashless exercise, which may occur six months after their issuance if no applicable registration statement is available for the resale of such common stock, such exercising holder will receive shares of our common stock for each Series E Warrant, Advisory Warrant, Placement Agent Warrant, or Consultant Warrant they exercise without any cash payment to us.
  • The number of shares of our common stock each of the holders of the Series A Warrants, Series E Warrants, Advisory Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants, or Consultant Warrants are entitled to receive upon a cashless exercise is subject to a formula as set forth in the relevant warrant.
  • If any of the above provisions in the Series A Warrants, Series E Warrants, Advisory Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants or Consultant Warrants are utilized, our stockholders may suffer substantial dilution.
  • Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
  • Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur as a result of our utilization of our shelf registration statement or otherwise could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
  • We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock or the market perception that we are permitted to sell a significant number of our securities would have on the market price of our common stock.
  • You may experience additional dilution in the future.
  • To raise additional capital, the Company may in the future offer additional Company securities, including shares of our common stock, at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in prior offerings or transactions.
  • The Company or other stockholders may sell shares of common stock or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in prior offerings or transactions, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders.
  • The price per share at which the Company or other stockholders sell additional shares of common stock, or the Company sells securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions, may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in prior offerings or transactions.
  • Furthermore, sales of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
  • Our management may invest or otherwise use the proceeds of any offering by the Company in ways with which you may not agree or in ways that may not yield a return.
  • Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from any offering by the Company and could use the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock.
  • The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could cause the price of our common stock to decline and delay the development of additional products and services and our pursuit of our new BNB strategy.
  • We may use the net proceeds from any offering by the Company to purchase additional BNB, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile.
  • We may use the net proceeds from any offering by the Company to purchase additional BNB.
  • The ability to generate a return on investment from the net proceeds from any offering by the Company will depend on whether there is appreciation in the value of BNB following our purchases of BNB with the net proceeds from any offering by the Company.
  • Future fluctuations in BNB’s trading prices may result in our converting BNB purchased with the net proceeds from offerings into cash with a value substantially below the net proceeds from such an offering.
  • If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our BNB reserves, which could adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and growth prospects.
  • We completed the Cash Private Placement on October 3, 2025 and the Cryptocurrency Private Placement on October 21, 2025, whereby the net proceeds of which have primarily been used for our BNB Strategy.

  • These risks include, among others, the following key risks: ● We have produced limited revenue.
  • This makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and increase the risk that we will not be successful. ● There is substantial doubt relating to our ability to continue as a going concern. ● We may not successfully implement our business strategies, including achieving our growth objectives, including the development of new production facilities for our Therapeutic DNA Production Services. ● We may require additional financing which may in turn require the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other debt or equity securities (including convertible securities) and which would dilute the ownership held by or stockholders. ● We may modify and refine our business strategy, including a possible divesture or closing of our DNA Tagging and Security Products and Services and/or MDx Testing Services segments. ● Our current emphasis on Therapeutic DNA Production Services may reduce our ability to maintain and expand our existing MDX Testing Services and DNA Tagging and Security Products and Services businesses. ● If we are unable to expand our DNA manufacturing capacity, we could lose revenue and our business could suffer. ● Rapidly changing technology and extensive competition in synthetic biology could make the services or products we are developing obsolete or non-competitive unless we continue to develop new and improved services or products and pursue new market opportunities. ● We will need to develop and maintain facilities that meet GMP. ● Pharmaceutical and biologic products are highly complex, and if we or our collaborators and customers are unable to provide quality and timely offerings to our respective customers, our business could suffer. ● Pharmaceutical and biologic-related revenue will be dependent on our collaborators’ and customers’ demand for our manufacturing services. ● We may be unable to consistently manufacture or source our products to the necessary specifications or in quantities necessary to meet demand on a timely basis and at acceptable performance and cost levels. ● The markets for drug and biologic candidates and synthetic DNA are very competitive, and we may be unable to continue to compete effectively in these industries in the future. ● The markets for our supply chain security and product authentication solutions are very competitive, and we may be unable to compete effectively in these industries in the future. ● We compete with life science, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, some of whom are our customers, who are substantially larger than we are and potentially capable of developing new approaches that could make our products and technology obsolete or develop their own internal capabilities that compete with our products. ● Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products, services and brand. ● Pharmaceutical and biologic-related revenue is generally dependent on regulatory approval, oversight and compliance. ● If the FDA were to begin to enforce regulation of LDTs, we could incur substantial costs and delays associated with trying to obtain pre-market clearance or approval and costs associated with complying with post-market requirements within our MDx Testing Services segment. ● If we fail to comply with laboratory licensing requirements, we could lose the ability to offer our clinical testing services or experience disruptions to our business. ● We may have conflicts of interest with our affiliates and related parties, and in the past we have engaged in transactions and entered into agreements with affiliates that were not negotiated at arms’ length. ● Stockholders may suffer substantial dilution if certain provisions in the May 2024 Series Warrants (as defined below) are utilized. ● Stockholders may suffer substantial dilution if certain provisions in the October 2024 Series D Warrants (as defined below) are utilized. ● The exercisability of the October 2024 Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) is contingent upon us obtaining Warrant Stockholder Approval (as defined below).
  • If we do not obtain such Warrant Stockholder Approval, the October 2024 Private Placement Warrants may never become exercisable. ● If we fail to comply with healthcare laws, we could face substantial penalties and our business, operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected. ● If we are unable to continue to retain the services of Dr.
  • Hayward, we may not be able to continue our operations. ● There are a large number of shares of common stock underlying our outstanding options and warrants and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock and cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. ● We have received written notice from Nasdaq that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid requirements and if we are unable to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing standards, which may require effecting a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, we could be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market, which would negatively impact our business, our ability to raise capital, and the market price and liquidity of our Common Stock.
  • Risks Relating to Our Business: We have produced only limited revenues.
  • While our revenues increased from $1.9 million in fiscal 2020 to $18.2 million in fiscal 2022, primarily as a result of our COVID-19 testing revenues, in fiscal 2023 our revenues declined to $13.4 million and further declined to $3.4 million in fiscal 2024.
  • There is substantial doubt relating to our ability to continue as a going concern.
  • We have recurring net losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $309,672,755 as of September 30, 2024.
  • We have incurred a net loss of $7,088,306 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
  • At September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,431,095.
  • We have concluded that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
  • We will continue to seek to raise additional working capital through public equity, private equity or debt financings.
  • If we fail to raise additional working capital, or do so on commercially unfavorable terms, it would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern.
  • If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
  • As discussed in Note M to our consolidated financial statements, on October 31, 2024, we closed on a registered direct offering and received net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, of approximately $5.8 million.
  • As a result of this offering, our consolidated cash balance as of November 30, 2024 was approximately $10.1 million.
  • We may not successfully implement our business strategies, including achieving our growth objectives.
  • Our various business strategies and initiatives, including our growth, operational and management initiatives and the development in particular of our Therapeutic DNA Production Services, are subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.
  • The execution of our business strategy and our financial performance will continue to depend in significant part our ability to obtain sufficient financing and on our executive management team and other key management personnel, our ability to identify and complete suitable acquisitions, our executive management team’s ability to execute new operational initiatives, and certain matters outside of our control.
  • As these initiatives are undertaken, we may not fully achieve our expected efficiency improvements or growth rates, or these initiatives could adversely impact our customer retention, supplier relationships or operations.
  • We may modify and refine our business strategy, including a possible divesture or closing of our DNA Tagging and Security Products and Services and/or MDx Testing Services segments.
  • Our management is currently engaged in a strategic review of the Company’s business segments that may result in the divestiture or closure of the Company’s DNA Tagging and Security Products and Services segment and/or MDx Testing Services, as well as workforce reductions and potential management changes.
  • To this end, on December 17, 2024, the Company announced it is exploring the potential divestiture of its DNA Tagging and Security Products and Services business segment.
  • No assurance can be given that a divestiture will be completed.
  • Further, the definitive terms and structure of any possible closure or divestiture have not been determined or approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
  • Although the purpose of any closure or divestiture would be to reduce the Company’s expenses and effectuate cost savings, it is possible that there may be related restructuring costs.
  • We expect that based on available opportunities and our beliefs regarding future opportunities, we will continue to modify and refine our business strategy.
  • The initial cash received from any divestiture, if any, may be limited, although the terms of a divesture may include future royalties, earn-outs or similar terms, any of which could fail to be earned or received.
  • We may require additional financing which may in turn require the issuance of additional shares of common stock, preferred stock or other debt or equity securities (including convertible securities) and which would dilute the ownership held by our stockholders.
  • We may need to raise funds through either debt or the sale of our shares of our common stock in order to achieve our business goals.
  • Any additional shares issued would further dilute the percentage ownership held by existing stockholders.
  • Furthermore, if we raise funds in equity transactions through the issuance of convertible securities which are convertible at the time of conversion at a discount to the prevailing market price, substantial dilution is likely to occur resulting in a material decline in the price of our common stock.
  • Our public offerings completed in November 2014, April 2015, December 2018, November 2019, August 2022 and May 2024, our registered direct offerings completed in December 2017, January 2021 and February 2022, our registered direct public offering and concurrent private placement completed in November 2015, January 2024 and October 2024, and our private placements completed in November 2016, June 2017, and August 2019 resulted in dilution to investors and future offerings of securities could result in further dilution to investors.
  • Fluctuations in quarterly results may cause a decline in the price of our common stock.
  • Our revenues and profitability are difficult to predict due to the nature of the markets in which we compete, as well as our recent entry into new markets and products, fluctuating user demand, the uncertainty of current and future global economic conditions, and for many other reasons, including that our operating results are highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during a quarter, which are difficult to forecast.
  • Customers generally order on an as-needed basis and we typically do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers.
  • The quarterly fluctuations in operating results described above may cause a decline in the price of our common stock.
  • The ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas and Israel and Hezbollah have caused geopolitical instability, economic uncertainty, financial markets volatility and capital markets disruption.
  • Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the capital markets resulting from the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East or any other geopolitical tensions.
  • In late February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia and other countries in the region and in the west, including the United States.
