Up to [●] Shares of Common Stock

Up to [●] Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase [●] Shares of Common Stock

Up to [●] Shares of Common Stock Underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants

We are offering on a “best efforts” basis up to [●] shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an assumed public offering price of $[●] per share of Common Stock (assuming a public offering price equal to the last sale price of our Common Stock of $[●] as reported by The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on February [●], 2024).

We are also offering to each purchaser, if any, whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of such purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants, (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), in lieu of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of such purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be immediately exercisable for one share of Common Stock and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal the price per share at which the shares of Common Stock are being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be $0.0001 per share. For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of shares of Common Stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. This prospectus also relates to the shares of Common Stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants sold in this offering. We refer to the shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants to be sold in this offering collectively as the “Securities.”

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BTCY.” We have assumed a public offering price of $[●] per share of Common Stock, which was the last reported sale price on Nasdaq of our shares of Common Stock on February [●], 2024. The actual offering price per share of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant, will be negotiated between us and the investors, in consultation with the placement agent based on, among other things, the trading price of our Common Stock prior to the offering and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. In addition, there is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for a listing of the Pre-Funded Warrants on any national securities exchange.

We have engaged A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners to act as our exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Securities offered by this prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and is not required to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the Securities offered by this prospectus.

The Securities will be offered at a fixed purchase price and are expected to be issued in a single closing. We will deliver all securities to be issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment (“DVP”)/receipt versus payment (“RVP”) upon receipt of investor funds received by us. Accordingly, neither we nor the Placement Agent have made any arrangements to place investor funds in an escrow account or trust account since the Placement Agent will not receive investor funds in connection with the sale of the Securities offered hereunder. There is no minimum offering requirement as a condition of closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the Securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds to be received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus. This offering will terminate on [●], 2024, unless the closing occurs before that date or we decide to terminate the offering (which we may do at any time in our discretion) prior to that date. In addition, because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill all of our contemplated objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Further, any proceeds from the sale of Securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. We will bear all costs associated with the offering.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.

(1) We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a total cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the offering, except that, with respect to proceeds raised in this offering from [●] shares of Common Stock to be sold to certain identified investors, the placement agent fee will be 3.5% of such proceeds.

(2) Does not include a non-accountable expense allowance of up to $25,000 and other compensation payable to the Placement Agent. See “Plan of Distribution” for a description of the compensation payable to the Placement Agent.

(3) The amount of the proceeds to us presented in this table does not give effect to any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Delivery of the Securities is expected to be made on or about              , 2024.

Overview

Biotricity Inc. (the “Company”, “Biotricity”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a medical technology company focused on biometric data monitoring solutions. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote monitoring solutions to the medical, healthcare, and consumer markets, with a focus on diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for lifestyle and chronic illnesses. We approach the diagnostic side of remote patient monitoring by applying innovation within existing business models where reimbursement is established. We believe this approach reduces the risk associated with traditional medical device development and accelerates the path to revenue. In post-diagnostic markets, we intend to apply medical grade biometrics to enable consumers to self-manage, thereby driving patient compliance and reducing healthcare costs. We first focused on a segment of the ambulatory diagnostic cardiac market, otherwise known as COM, while also providing the capability to perform all types of ambulatory cardiac studies.

We developed our Bioflux® (“Bioflux”) COM technology, which has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), comprised of a monitoring device and software components, which we made available to the market under limited release on April 6, 2018, to assess, establish and develop sales processes and market dynamics. Full market release of the Bioflux device for commercialization occurred in April 2019. The fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 marked our first year of expanded commercialization efforts, focused on sales growth and expansion. In 2021, we announced the initial launch of Bioheart, a direct-to-consumer heart monitor that offers the same continuous heart monitoring technology used by physicians. In addition to developing and receiving regulatory approval or clearance of other technologies that enhance our ecosystem, in 2022, we announced the launch of our Biotres Cardiac Monitoring Device (“Biotres”), a three-lead device for ECG and arrhythmia monitoring intended for lower risk patients, a much broader addressable market segment. We have since expanded our sales efforts to 33 states, with intention to expand further and compete in the broader US market using an insourcing business model. Our technology has a large potential total addressable market, which can include hospitals, clinics and physicians’ offices, as well as other Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (“IDTFs)”. We believe our technological and clinical advantage with our solution’s insourcing model, which empowers physicians with state-of-the-art technology and charges technology service fees for its use, has the benefit of a reduced operating overhead for us, and enables a more efficient market penetration and distribution strategy.

We are a technology company focused on earning utilization-based recurring technology fee revenue. Our ability to grow this type of revenue is predicated on the size and quality of our sales force and their ability to penetrate the market and place devices with clinically focused, repeat users of our cardiac study technology. We plan to grow our sales force to address new markets and achieve sales penetration in the markets currently served.

Commercial History

Full market release of the Bioflux COM device for commercialization launched in April 2019, after receiving its second and final required FDA clearance. To commence commercialization, we ordered device inventory from our FDA-approved manufacturer and hired a small, captive sales force, with deep experience in cardiac technology sales; we expanded on our limited market release, which identified potential anchor clients who could be early adopters of our technology. By increasing our sales force and geographic footprint, we had launched sales in 33 U.S. states by December 31, 2023.

In 2021, we announced that we received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA for our Bioflux Software II System, engineered to improve workflows and reduce estimated review time from 5 minutes to 30 seconds.. This improvement in review time reduces operational costs and allows us to continue to focus on excellent customer service and industry-leading response times to physicians and their at-risk patients. Additionally, these advances mean we can focus our resources on high-level operations and sales.

During 2021 and the early part of 2022, we also commercially launched our Bioheart technology, which is a consumer technology whose development was forged out of prior the development of the clinical technologies that are already part of our technology ecosystem, the BioSphere. In recognition of our product development, in November 2022, Bioheart received recognition as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring technologies. We continue to develop a telemedicine platform, with capabilities of real-time streaming of medical devices. Telemedicine offers patients the ability to communicate directly with their health care providers without the need of leaving their home. The introduction of a telemedicine solution is intended to align with our technology platform and facilitate remote visits and remote prescriptions for cardiac diagnostics, but it will also serve as a means of establishing referral and other synergies across the network of doctors and patients that use the technologies we are building within the Biotricity ecosystem. The intention is to continue to provide improved care to patients that may otherwise elect not to go to medical facilities and continue to provide economic benefits and costs savings to healthcare service providers and payers that reimburse. Our goal is to position ourselves as an all-in-one cardiac diagnostic and disease management solution. We continue to grow our data set of billions of patient heartbeats, allowing us to further develop its predictive capabilities relative to atrial fibrillation and arrythmias.

On January 24, 2022, we announced that we had received the 510(k) FDA clearance of our Biotres patch solution, which is a novel product in the field of Holter monitoring. This three-lead technology can provide connected Holter monitoring that is designed to produce more accurate arrythmia detection than is typical of competing remote patient monitoring solutions. It is also foundational, since already developed improvements to this technology will follow which are not known by us to be currently available in the market, for clinical and consumer patch solution applications. In October 2023, we launched the cellular version of this device, the Biotres Pro.

In October 2022, we launched our Biocare Cardiac Disease Management Solution (“Biocare”), after successfully piloting this technology in two facilities that provide cardiac care to more than 60,000 patients. This technology and other consumer technologies and applications such as the Biokit and Biocare have been developed to allow us to transform and use our strong cardiac footprint to expand into remote chronic care management solutions that will be part of the Biosphere. The technology puts actionable data into the hands of physicians to assist them in making effective treatment decisions quickly. During March 2023, we launched our patient-facing Biocare app on Android and Apple app stores. This further allows us to expand our footprint in providing full-cycle chronic care management solutions to our clinic and patient network. In January 2024, we appointed Dr. Fareeha Siddiqui, a scientist and expert in community health and diagnostics, to the position of VP of Healthcare to spearhead the roll-out and Biocare adoption to existing and new customers.

We are also developing several other ancillary technologies, which will require application for further FDA clearances, which we anticipate applying for within the next twelve months. Among these are:

We identified the importance of recent developments in accelerating our path to profitability, including the launch of important new products identified, which have a ready market through cross-selling to existing large customer clinics, and large new distribution partnerships that allow us to sell into large hospital networks. Additionally, in September 2022, we were awarded a NIH Grant from the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute for AI-Enabled real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics for stroke due to chronic kidney failure. This is a significant achievement that broadens our technology platform’s disease space demographic. The grant focuses on Bioflux-AI as an innovative system for real-time monitoring and prediction of stroke episodes in chronic kidney disease patients. We received $238,703 under this award in March 2023, which we used to defray research and development and other associated costs.

Management has indicated that its mission is to innovate and create transformative healthcare products while ensuring financial discipline, in order to drive margin and revenue growth to deliver value creation for our investors. Our commitment to innovation means that we harness data intelligently to explore novel avenues for enhancing healthcare outcomes. Through cutting-edge research and development, we believe we are redefining medical diagnostics and patient care and innovating new AI-driven solutions.

As a result of providing our Bioflux and Biotres products, Biotricity has monitored over two billion heartbeats for atrial fibrillation (afib), a leading cause of strokes. Over the past two years, these efforts have benefited over 28,000 patients diagnosed with afib, by providing them with the prospect of earlier medical intervention – which also produces significant healthcare savings to patients and the healthcare system.

We have announced that we are expanding our AI technology development in remote cardiac care, leveraging proprietary AI technology in order to provide a suite of predictive monitoring tools to enhance new disease profiling, improve patient management, and revolutionize the healthcare industry for disease prevention.

We have also strengthened relationships with Amazon and Google. The healthcare AI market opportunity is projected to grow to $208.2 billion by 2030 according to Grand View Research. Our Company has already established a strong foothold, having already built a powerful proprietary cardiac AI model that combines Google’s TensorFlow, AWS infrastructure, big data and a continuous learning engine. This combination allows us to rapidly improve our cardiac technology. In the near future, we believe the capabilities of our cardiac AI model will allow us to support healthcare professionals in handling exponentially more patients while identifying the most critical data. This will enable healthcare workers to elevate the quality of care while serving a larger number of patients. As growing patient numbers further stress the shortage of healthcare professionals, our technology could help alleviate this pressing issue. We have engineered our technology to not only improve patient care and outcomes, but to do so in a manner that supports more patients. This has led to increasing sales of our remote cardiac monitoring devices and the ramp-up of our subscription-based service, increasing our recurring revenue over the past few quarters and charting a clear path to profitability.

From a market perspective, increasing interest and demand continue to drive the adoption of our suite of products, which are focused on chronic cardiac disease prevention and management. Our efforts in commercialization and development have yielded tremendous progress in remote monitoring solutions for diagnostic and post-diagnostic products.

Recent Developments

Securities Purchase Agreement and Series B Preferred Stock

On September 19, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) for the issuance and sale of 220 shares of our newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $9,090.91 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to which we received gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

Shares of Series B Preferred Stock and shares of our Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of, or as dividends on, the Series B Preferred Stock were offered, and will be issued, pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, filed September 19, 2023, to the Prospectus included in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-255544) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 27, 2021, and declared effective May 4, 2021.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on September 19, 2023, we filed a certificate of designations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B COD”) with the Nevada Secretary of State designating 600 shares of our Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred Stock and setting forth the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Preferred Shares. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10,000 per share (the “Stated Value”). The Series B Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon our liquidation, dissolution and winding up, ranks senior to all of our capital stock unless the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock consent to the creation of other capital stock that is senior or equal in rank to the Series B Preferred Stock. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends (“Dividends”), in shares of Common Stock or cash on the Stated Value at an annual rate of 8% (which will increase to 15% after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD) until such time as any such Triggering Event is subsequently cured, in which case the adjustment shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure). Dividends will be payable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, upon any redemption, or upon any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD).

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts due) by the conversion price. The initial conversion price is $3.50, subject to adjustment upon a stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction or in the event we sell or issue Common Stock at a price lower than the then-effective conversion price, including the issuance of options with an exercise price lower than the then-effective conversion price. Holders may not convert the Series B Preferred Stock to Common Stock to the extent such conversion would cause such holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock. In addition, we will not issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in an amount exceeding 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock as of the initial issuance date unless we receive shareholder approval for such issuances. Holders may elect to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Common Stock at an alternate conversion price equal to 80% (or 70% if our Common Stock is suspended from trading on or delisted from a principal trading market or if we have effected a reverse split of the Common Stock) of the lowest daily volume weighed average price of the Common Stock during the Alternate Conversion Measuring Period (as defined in the Series B COD). In the event we receive a conversion notice that elects an alternate conversion price, we may, at our option, elect to satisfy our obligation under such conversion with payment in cash in an amount equal to 110% of the conversion amount. Upon the 24-month anniversary of the initial issuance date of the Series B Preferred Stock, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert to such number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock by the conversion price in effect at that time. At any time after the earlier of a holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event notice and such holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event and ending on the 20th trading day after the later of (x) the date such Triggering Event is cured and (y) such holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event notice, such holder may require us to redeem such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD), we will be required to immediately redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. We have the right at any time to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at a price equal to 110% of the Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts due.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have the right to vote on an as-converted basis using the Conversion Price (and not the Alternate Conversion Price) with the Common Stock, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in the Series B COD. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we and certain of our stockholders entered into a voting agreement, agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement and against any proposal or other corporate action that would result in a breach of the Purchase Agreement and any transaction document entered in connection therewith.

Subscription Agreement

On October 31, 2023, we entered into a subscription agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which we issued an unsecured convertible preferred note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 to an investor (“Investor”). The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, paid in cash monthly. The Note matures on the earlier of 18 months or if there is more than one closing, the 18-month anniversary of the last closing date of the offering (the “Maturity Date”).

The Note and accrued interest may be prepaid by us in whole or in part in cash or by a conversion, mutually consented to by us and the Investor, at a price that is equal to a 15% discount to the 10-day VWAP of our Common Stock. The Investor may, at its option, convert all of the outstanding balance and accrued interest on the Note, at any time subsequent to the consummation of a Qualified Financing through to earlier of the Early Payout Date or the Maturity Date, as such terms are defined in the Note, at a conversion price equal to a 20% discount to the lesser of (i) the actual price paid for the securities issued in the Qualified Financing or (ii) if there is no Qualified Financing as of the Maturity Date, by mutual consent and election of us and the Investor, at a 15% discount to the average VWAP for ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Maturity Date.

The Note includes standard Events of Default, including, but not limited to: (i) failure to issue and deliver shares upon conversion, (ii) default in the payment of principal or interest, when same is due, (iii) the entry of a decree or order adjudging us as bankrupt or insolvent; or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of us, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of us or of any substantial part of our property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of our affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days; or (iv) our institution of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by us to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against us, or the filing by us of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state law.

Nasdaq Listing

On August 4, 2023, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, our Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Nasdaq granted us 180 calendar days, or until January 29, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

On January 30, 2024, we received a delisting determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Staff advising us that the Staff had determined that we did not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by the Compliance Date because our MVLS did not close at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date.

On February 6, 2024, we submitted a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. The hearing request has stayed the suspension of our securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. At the hearing, we intend to present a plan to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

An investment in our Company is subject to a number of risks, including risks relating to this offering. Set forth below is a high-level summary of some, but not all, of these risks. Please read the information in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this prospectus, for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company, and have a public float of less than $250 million or annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. As a result of being considered a “smaller reporting company,” we will be entitled to certain exemptions regarding the disclosure that we are required to provide in our SEC filings. Specifically, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

THE OFFERING

Except as otherwise indicated herein, the number of shares of our Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on [●] shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February [●], 2024, which includes 160,672 exchangeable shares, directly exchangeable into an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock (the “Exchangeable Shares”), and excludes:

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this prospectus may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about us and our industry, as well as statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Additionally, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. For additional information on identifying factors that may cause actual results to vary materially from those stated in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus represent our judgment as of the date of this prospectus. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on such statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, which we believe represent certain of the material risks to our business, together with the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus, before you make a decision to invest in our securities. Please note that the risks highlighted here are not the only ones that we may face. For example, additional risks presently unknown to us or that we currently consider immaterial or unlikely to occur could also impair our operations. If any of the following events occur or any additional risks presently unknown to us actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related To Our Financial Position

Our existing and future levels of indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health, ability to obtain financing in the future, ability to react to changes in our business and ability to fulfill our obligations under such indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2023, in addition to our accounts payable, lease obligations and derivative liabilities, we had other aggregate outstanding indebtedness of approximately $21.1 million compared to approximately $17.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. This level of indebtedness could:

Our auditors have indicated doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $85,000 in cash, accumulated deficit of $123.1 million and a working capital deficiency of $14.69 million. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its expansion and development plans. Our cash position fluctuates during any given month as we collect receivables and other incoming funds and pay payroll, other expenses or incur other outflows. These conditions raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and accordingly our auditors have included a going concern opinion in our annual report for the year ended March 31, 2023. Management has taken certain action and continues to implement changes designed to improve our financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing strategies, including (a) engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash; and (b) offer noncash consideration and seek for equity lines as a means of financing its operations. Additionally, our plan includes certain scheduled research and development activities and related clinical trials which may be deferred as needed. If we are unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing we do obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses we may incur, we may substantially curtail our operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

We require additional capital to support our present business plan and our anticipated business growth, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, which would adversely affect our ability to operate.

We will require additional funds to further develop our business plan. Based on our current operating plans, we plan to use an additional $8 million in capital to fund our planned operations and sales efforts necessary to propel the commercialization of Bioflux into broader markets. We may choose to raise additional capital beyond this in order to expedite and propel growth more rapidly. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in raising any additional funds. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient planned revenues from our sales and operating activities, we may need to raise additional funds, doing so through debt and equity offerings, in order to meet our expected future liquidity and capital requirements, including capital required for the development completion and introduction of our other planned products and technologies. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to current stockholders.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth, including patent or other intellectual property asset creation. In addition, we may also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protecting our intellectual property, satisfying debt payment obligations, developing new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We may also seek to raise additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our business plans.

We cannot predict our future capital needs and we may not be able to secure additional financing.

We will need to raise additional funds in the future to fund our working capital needs and to fund further expansion of our business. We may require additional equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements with corporate partners or funds from other sources for these purposes. No assurance can be given that necessary funds will be available for us to finance our development on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, such additional financings may involve substantial dilution of our stockholders or may require that we relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products. In addition, we may experience operational difficulties and delays due to working capital restrictions. If adequate funds are not available from operations or additional sources of financing, we may have to delay or scale back our growth plans.

The failure to comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement with SWK Funding LLC could result in a default under the terms of the Credit Agreement, and, if uncured, it could potentially result in action against our pledged assets.

There is no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenue or raise sufficient capital to be able to make the required payments due under the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that we entered into with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”). We have borrowed $12.4 million from SWK pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement is secured by all of our assets as well as the right, title and interest in our intellectual property. The Term Loan matures on December 21, 2026. If we fail to comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement and/or the related agreements, including the affirmative and negative covenants contained therein, SWK could declare a default and if the default were to remain uncured, SWK would have the right to proceed against any or all of the collateral securing the Term Loan pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Our failure to make such payments when due could result in an action against our pledged assets. Any action to proceed against our assets would likely have a serious disruptive effect on our business operations.

The Credit Agreement requires that we pay a significant amount of cash to the lender. Our ability to generate sufficient cash to make all required payments under the Credit Agreement depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to potentially refinance the Term Loan, to fund planned capital expenditures and to maintain sufficient working capital depends on our ability to raise capital and generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. To date, we have generated minimal revenue and have financed a significant portion our capital needs from sales of our equity and most recently the Term Loan. There can be no assurance that financing options will be available to us when needed to make payments under the Term Loan or if available, that they will be on favorable terms. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to allow us to make payments due under the Term Loan, we may need to seek additional capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of the Term Loan on or before the maturity thereof, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Although we plan to explore potential longer-term financing options, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure other financing prior to the maturity date of the Term Loan or refinance the Term Loan on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to repay or refinance our debt on favorable terms, it could significantly adversely affect our financial condition. Our ability to restructure or refinance the Term Loan will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition. Any refinancing of the Term Loan could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any financing when needed.

The Credit Agreement, certain convertible promissory notes, and a securities purchase agreement that we entered into with an institutional investor require us to comply with certain covenants, some of which we are not in compliance with as of the date of this prospectus and which could harm our business.

The Credit Agreement, certain convertible promissory notes (the “May 2023 Notes”) that were issued to investors in a private placement offering conducted in May 2023 (the “May 2023 Offering”), and a securities purchase agreement that we entered into with an institutional investor for the issuance and sale of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B SPA”) require us to comply with certain covenants contained in such agreements. The Credit Agreement, and related transaction documents, contain covenants including restrictions on debt and registration rights related to a warrant that was issued to the lender, among others. The May 2023 Notes contain a covenant requiring us to register a resale registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of such notes and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the investors and the placement agent in the May 2023 Offering. The covenants contained within the Series B SPA include registration rights of the securities issued pursuant to the Series B SPA and those shares issuable upon conversion of such securities and a prohibition on the issuance or sale of securities that would result in a dilutive issuance to the institutional investor, among others.

As of the date of this prospectus, we are not in compliance with all covenants contained within the Credit Agreement and the May 2023 Notes due to a failure to register the required shares pursuant thereto. We may also not be compliant with certain of the covenants contained within the Series B SPA if we did not register a sufficient number of shares representing the registrable securities pursuant to the Series B SPA or if this offering would result in a prohibited dilutive issuance to the institutional investor. A failure to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement could result in the lender declaring an event of default under the Credit Agreement, causing our indebtedness under the Credit Agreement to become immediately due and payable. In the event the lender exercises its rights to accelerate the repayment of the loan, our inability to repay the debt obligation in that scenario would cause substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our failure to comply with the covenants in the May 2023 Notes and the Series B SPA could subject us to damages sought by the respective investors by reason of our breach.

We intend to seek a waiver from the lender, the investors in the May 2023 Offering and the institutional investor related to our possible non-compliance with the covenants contained within the Credit Agreement, the May 2023 Notes and the Series B SPA, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such waivers on terms acceptable to us. Any additional forbearance, amendment or waiver under the Credit Agreement may result in increased interest rates or premiums and more restrictive covenants and other terms less advantageous to us, and may require the payment of a fee for such forbearance, amendment or waiver. Even if the Lender does grant forbearance or an amendment to or waiver under the Credit Agreement, any future covenant non-compliance could give rise to an event of default thereunder.

Risks Related to this Offering

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds, if any, may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our Common Stock. The failure of our management to use these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.

This is a reasonable best efforts offering, with no minimum amount of securities required to be sold, and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby.

The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering, and there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated. Even if we sell securities offered hereby, because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing of this offering, the actual offering amount is not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.

Because there is no minimum required for the offering to close, investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue the business goals outlined in this prospectus.

We have not specified a minimum offering amount nor have or will we establish an escrow account in connection with this offering. Because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill our objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Further, because there is no escrow account in operation and no minimum investment amount, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. Investor funds will not be returned under any circumstances whether during or after the offering.

If you purchase shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares. In addition, we may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future, which may result in additional dilution to investors.

The price per share of our Common Stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding Common Stock prior to this offering, which may result in new investors in this offering incurring immediate dilution. To the extent outstanding shares of preferred stock are converted or outstanding stock options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section entitled “Dilution” below. To the extent additional stock options or warrants are issued, there will be further dilution to new investors.

Our need for future financing may result in the issuance of additional securities which will cause investors to experience dilution.

Our cash requirements may vary from those now planned depending upon numerous factors. We expect to require additional capital until our operations generate sufficient revenue to cover our expenses. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. There are no other commitments by any person for future financing. Our securities may be offered to other investors at a price lower than the price per share offered to current stockholders, or upon terms which may be deemed more favorable than those offered to current stockholders. In addition, the issuance of securities in any future financing may dilute an investor’s equity ownership and have the effect of depressing the market price for our securities. Moreover, we may issue derivative securities, including options and/or warrants, from time to time, to procure qualified personnel or for other business reasons. The issuance of any such derivative securities, which is at the discretion of our Board of Directors, may further dilute the equity ownership of our stockholders.

We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. No assurance can be given as to our ability to procure additional financing, if required, and on terms deemed favorable to us. To the extent additional capital is required and cannot be raised successfully, we may then have to limit our then current operations and/or may have to curtail certain, if not all, of our business objectives and plans.

This offering may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decrease.

The price per share, together with the number of shares of Common Stock we issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our Common Stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering.

We have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of 125,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1 share is designated as Special Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Special Voting Preferred Stock”), 20,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 600 shares are designated as Series B Preferred Stock. In certain circumstances, the Common Stock, as well as the awards available for issuance under our stock incentive plan, can be issued by our board of directors, without stockholder approval. Any future issuances of such stock, including pursuant to outstanding equity awards, would further dilute the percentage ownership of us held by holders of Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of certain securities, may be used as an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the part of our stockholders, and may adversely affect the holders of the Common Stock.

Because we will not declare cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders must rely on appreciation of the value of our Common Stock for any return on their investment.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and will not declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our Common Stock, if any, will provide a return to investors in this offering. See “Dividend Policy.”

There is no public market for the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on the Nasdaq or any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

Holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby will have no rights as common stockholders with respect to the shares our Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants until such holders exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants and acquire our Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Until holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise thereof, such holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our Common Stock underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants, except to the extent that holders of such Pre-Funded Warrants will have certain rights to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our Common Stock as set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

The Pre-Funded Warrants are speculative in nature.

Commencing on the initial exercise date, holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants may acquire shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants will equal or exceed their public offering price. In the event the market price per share of our Common Stock does not exceed the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants during the period when the Warrants are exercisable, the Warrants may not have any value.

Purchasers who purchase our Securities in this offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement may have rights not available to purchasers that purchase without the benefit of a securities purchase agreement.

In addition to rights and remedies available to all purchasers in this offering under federal securities and state law, the purchasers that enter into a securities purchase agreement will also be able to bring claims of breach of contract against us. The ability to pursue a claim for breach of contract provides those investors with the means to enforce the covenants uniquely available to them under the securities purchase agreement, including: (i) a covenant to not enter into variable rate financings for a period of 180 days following the closing of the offering, subject to an exception; (ii) a covenant to not enter into any equity financings for 90 days from closing of the offering, subject to certain exceptions.

Risks Related to Our Business

Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services. Pandemics or disease outbreaks such as COVID-19 and its variants (collectively, “COVID-19”) have had, and may continue to have, impacts on the Company’s business. These include, limited access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors and can, in future, impact our manufacturing supply chain. In addition, the general economic and other impacts related to responsive actions taken by governments and others to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, or in the future other pandemics or disease outbreaks, including but not limited to stay-at-home, shelter-in-place and other travel restrictions, social distancing requirements, mask mandates, limitations on certain businesses’ hours and operations, limits on public gatherings and other events, and restrictions on what, may continue to, result in similar declines in store traffic and overall demand, increased operating costs, and decreased or slower unit/store growth.

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can rely to evaluate our future prospects.

We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its business plan or performance and prospects can be made. The business and prospects of the Company must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connection with a newly established business and new industry. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that we will not be able to develop functional and scalable products and services, or that although functional and scalable, our products and services will not be economical to market; that our competitors hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing such products; that our competitors market a superior or equivalent product; that we are not able to upgrade and enhance our technologies and products to accommodate new features and expanded service offerings; or the failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances for our products. To successfully introduce and market our products at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that we can successfully address these challenges. If unsuccessful with one or more of these issues, we and our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

The current and future expense levels in our forecasts are based largely on estimates of planned operations and future revenues rather than experience. It is difficult to accurately forecast future revenues because our business is new and our market has not been fully developed. If our forecasts prove incorrect, the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unanticipated reduction in revenues. As a result, any significant reduction in revenues may immediately and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have not had a long history of producing revenues and we cannot predict when we will achieve sustained profitability.

We have not been profitable, and cannot definitely predict when we will achieve profitability, if ever. We have experienced net losses historically. We do not anticipate generating significant revenues until we successfully continue to develop, commercialize and sell our existing and proposed products, of which we can give no assurance. We are unable to determine when we will generate significant revenues from the sale of new products. Our inability to become profitable may force us to curtail or temporarily discontinue our research and development programs and our day-to-day operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that profitability, if achieved, can be sustained on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $123,099,681.

We may not meet our product development and commercialization milestones.

We have established milestones, based upon our expectations regarding our technologies at that time, which we use to assess our progress toward developing our products. These milestones relate to technology and design improvements as well as dates for achieving development goals. If our products exhibit technical defects or are unable to meet cost or performance goals, our commercialization schedule could be delayed and potential purchasers of our initial commercial products may decline to purchase such products or may opt to pursue alternative products.

We may also experience shortages of monitors, sensors or bases due to manufacturing difficulties. Multiple suppliers provide the components used in our devices. Our manufacturing operations could be disrupted by fire, earthquake or other natural disaster, a labor-related disruption, failure in supply or other logistical channels, electrical outages or other reasons. If there were a disruption to manufacturing facilities, we would be unable to manufacture devices until we have restored and re-qualified our manufacturing capability or developed alternative manufacturing facilities.

Generally, we have met our milestone schedules when making technological advances in our product. We can give no assurance that our commercialization schedule will continue to be met as we further develop the Bioflux and Biotres or any of our other proposed products.

We have entered into a Credit Agreement pursuant to which we have granted the lender a security interest in all of our assets including our intellectual property and if we default on our obligations in the Credit Agreement the lender could foreclose on our assets.

On December 21, 2021, we entered into a Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with SWK Funding LLC (“Lender”), wherein the Company has borrowed $12.3 million, with a maturity date of December 21, 2026. The principal will accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate plus 10.5% (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Credit Agreement). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, we are required to make interest only payments for the first 24 months (which may be extended to 36 months under prescribed circumstances), after which payments will include principal amortization that accommodates a 40% balloon principal payment at maturity. Prepayment of amounts owing under the Credit Agreement are allowed under prescribed circumstances. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement we paid an Origination Fee in the amount of $120,000. Upon Termination of the Credit Agreement, we shall pay an Exit Fee of $600,000. 

We also entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with the Lender wherein we agreed to secure the Credit Agreement with all of our assets. We also entered into an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the Lender, dated December 21, 2021, wherein the Credit Agreement is also secured by our right title and interest in our Intellectual Property.

If we default on our obligations to the lender, the lender could foreclose on their security interests and liquidate some or all of these assets, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to curtail or cease operations.

Our business is dependent upon physicians utilizing our solution when prescribing cardiac monitoring; if we fail to continue to be successful in convincing physicians in utilizing our solution, our revenue could fail to grow and could decrease.

The success of our cardiac monitoring business is dependent upon physicians utilizing our solution when prescribing cardiac monitoring to their patients. The utilization of our solution by physicians for use in the prescription of cardiac monitoring is directly influenced by a number of factors, including:

If we are unable to drive physician utilization, revenue from the provision of our arrhythmia monitoring solutions could fail to grow or even potentially decrease.

We are subject to extensive governmental regulations relating to the manufacturing, labeling and marketing of our products.

Our medical technology products and operations are subject to regulation by the FDA, Health Canada and other foreign and local governmental authorities. These agencies enforce laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, advertising, marketing and distribution, and market surveillance of our medical products.

Under the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, Class II or Class III — depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Our Bioflux and Biotres devices are Class II medical device and we believe our planned products will also be Class II medical devices. Class II devices are subject to additional controls, including full applicability of the Quality System Regulations, and requirements for 510(k) pre-market notification.

From time to time, the FDA may disagree with the classification of a new Class II medical device and require the manufacturer of that device to apply for approval as a Class III medical device. In the event that the FDA determines that our Class II medical products should be classified as Class III medical devices, we could be precluded from marketing the devices for clinical use within the United States for a period of time, the length of which depends on the specific change in the classification. Reclassification of our Class II medical products as Class III medical devices could significantly increase our regulatory costs, including the timing and expense associated with required clinical trials and other costs.

In addition to regulations in the United States, we will be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of our products in foreign countries. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country.

The policies of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may change and additional government regulations may be enacted which could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our products and could also increase the cost of regulatory compliance. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulation that might arise from future legislative or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.

The FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities require that our products be manufactured according to rigorous standards. These regulatory requirements may significantly increase our production costs and may even prevent us from making our products in amounts sufficient to meet market demand. If we change our approved manufacturing process, the FDA may need to review the process before it may be used. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements discussed could subject us to enforcement actions, including warning letters, fines, injunctions and civil penalties, recall or seizure of our products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of our production, and criminal prosecution.

Federal, state and non-U.S. regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of medical devices are subject to future changes. The complexity, timeframes and costs associated with obtaining marketing clearances are unknown. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, these changes might have on our business, the impact could be material.

Following the introduction of a product, these agencies will also periodically review our design and manufacturing processes and product performance. The process of complying with the applicable good manufacturing practices, adverse event reporting, clinical trial and other requirements can be costly and time consuming, and could delay or prevent the production, manufacturing or sale of our products. In addition, if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it could result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances, closure of manufacturing sites, seizures or recalls of products and damage to our reputation. Recent changes in enforcement practice by the FDA and other agencies have resulted in increased enforcement activity, which increases the compliance risk for the Company and other companies in our industry. In addition, governmental agencies may impose new requirements regarding registration, labeling or prohibited materials that may require us to modify or re-register products already on the market or otherwise impact our ability to market our products in those countries. Once clearance or approval has been obtained for a product, there is an obligation to ensure that all applicable FDA, Health Canada and other regulatory requirements continue to be met.

Additionally, injuries caused by the malfunction or misuse of cardiac monitoring devices, even where such malfunction or misuse occurs with respect to one of our competitor’s products, could cause regulatory agencies to implement more conservative regulations on the medical cardiac monitoring industry, which could significantly increase our operating costs.

If our customers are not able to both obtain and maintain adequate levels of third-party reimbursement for services using our products, it would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Healthcare providers and related facilities are generally reimbursed for their services through payment systems managed by various governmental agencies worldwide, private insurance companies, and managed care organizations. The manner and level of reimbursement in any given case may depend on the site of care, the procedure(s) performed, the final patient diagnosis, the device(s) utilized, available budget, the efficacy, safety, performance and cost-effectiveness of our planned products and services, or a combination of these or other factors, and coverage and payment levels are determined at each payer’s discretion. The coverage policies and reimbursement levels of these third-party payers may impact the decisions of healthcare providers and facilities regarding which medical products they purchase and the prices they are willing to pay for those products. Thus, changes in reimbursement levels or methods may either positively or negatively impact sales of our products.

We have no direct control over payer decision-making with respect to coverage and payment levels for our medical device products. Additionally, we expect many payers to continue to explore cost-containment strategies (e.g., comparative and cost-effectiveness analyses, so-called “pay-for-performance” programs implemented by various public and private payers, and expansion of payment bundling schemes such as Accountable Care Organizations, and other such methods that shift medical cost risk to providers) that may potentially impact coverage and/or payment levels for our current products or products we develop.

The ability of physicians and other providers to successfully utilize our cardiac monitoring solution and successfully allow payors to reimburse for the physicians’ technical and professional fees is critical to our business because physicians and their patients will select arrhythmia monitoring solutions other than ours in the event that payors refuse to adequately reimburse our technical fees and physicians’ professional fees.

Our customers may experience difficulty in obtaining reimbursement for our services from commercial payors that consider our technology to be experimental and investigational, which would adversely affect our revenue and operating results.

Many commercial payors refuse to enter into contracts to reimburse the fees associated with medical devices or services that such payors determine to be “experimental and investigational.” Commercial payors typically label medical devices or services as “experimental and investigational” until such devices or services have demonstrated product superiority evidenced by a randomized clinical trial.

Clinical trials have been performed on other cardiac outpatient monitoring devices, proving higher diagnostic yield than traditional event loop monitoring. Certain remaining commercial payors, however, have stated that they do not believe the data from the clinical trials justifies the removal of the experimental designation for mobile telemetry outpatient monitoring solutions. As a result, certain commercial payors may refuse to reimburse the technical and professional fees associated with cardiac monitoring solutions such as the one expected to be offered by Biotricity.

If commercial payors decide not reimburse physicians or providers for their services during the utilization of our cardiac monitoring solutions, our revenue could fail to grow and could decrease.

Reimbursement by Medicare is highly regulated and subject to change; our failure to comply with applicable regulations, could decrease our expected revenue and may subject us to penalties or have an adverse impact on our business.

The Medicare program is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), which imposes extensive and detailed requirements on medical services providers, including, but not limited to, rules that govern how we structure our relationships with physicians, and how and where we provide our arrhythmia monitoring solutions. Our failure to comply with applicable Medicare rules could result in discontinuing the ability for physicians to receive reimbursement as they will likely utilize our cardiac monitoring solution under the Medicare payment program, civil monetary penalties, and/or criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and revenues.

Consolidation of commercial payors could result in payors eliminating coverage of mobile cardiac monitoring solutions or reducing reimbursement rates.

When payors combine their operations, the combined company may elect to reimburse physicians for cardiac monitoring services at the lowest rate paid by any of the participants in the consolidation. If one of the payors participating in the consolidation does not reimburse for these services at all, the combined company may elect not to reimburse at any rate. Reimbursement rates tend to be lower for larger payors. As a result, as payors consolidate, our expected average reimbursement rate may decline.

Product defects could adversely affect the results of our operations.

The design, manufacture and marketing of our products involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of our products, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of our products can lead to injury or other adverse events. These events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to our products (either voluntary or required by the FDA, Health Canada or similar governmental authorities in other countries), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market. A recall could result in significant costs, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce demand for our products. Personal injuries relating to the use of our products could also result in product liability claims being brought against us. In some circumstances, such adverse events could also cause delays in new product approvals.

Interruptions or delays in telecommunications systems or in the data services provided to us by cellular communication providers or the loss of our wireless or data services could impair the delivery of our cardiac monitoring services.

The success of Biotricity’s cardiac monitoring services will be dependent upon our ability to store, retrieve, process and manage data and to maintain and upgrade our data processing and communication capabilities. The monitoring solution relies on a third-party wireless carrier to transmit data over its data network. All data sent by our monitors via this wireless data network or via landline is expected to be routed directly to data centers and subsequently routed to the third-party ECG monitoring centers. We are therefore dependent upon third party wireless carrier to provide data transmission and data hosting services to us. If we lose wireless carrier services, we would be forced to seek alternative providers of data transmission and data hosting services, which might not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

As we expand our commercial activities, an increased burden is expected to be placed upon our data processing systems and the equipment upon which they rely. Interruptions of our data networks, or the data networks of our wireless carrier, for any extended length of time, loss of stored data or other computer problems could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our arrhythmia monitoring services could cause permanent harm to our reputation and could cause current or potential users or prescribing physicians to believe that our systems are unreliable, leading them to switch to our competitors. Such interruptions could result in liability, claims and litigation against us for damages or injuries resulting from the disruption in service.

Our systems are also expected to be vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, break-ins, sabotage, and acts of vandalism. Despite any precautions that we may take, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in these services. We do not carry business interruption insurance to protect against losses that may result from interruptions in service as a result of system failures. Moreover, the communications and information technology industries are subject to rapid and significant changes, and our ability to operate and compete is dependent on our ability to update and enhance the communication technologies used in our systems and services.

We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data leakage risks.

Significant disruptions to our information technology systems or breaches of information security could adversely affect our business. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store and transmit large amounts of confidential information, and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. The size and complexity of our information technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors with whom we contract, make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners or vendors, from attacks by malicious third parties, or from intentional or accidental physical damage to our systems infrastructure maintained by us or by third parties. Maintaining the secrecy of this confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. While we have taken steps to protect such information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination, or misuse of critical or sensitive information. A breach of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information, or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, or for any other reason, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary technology or information, or adversely affect our business or financial condition. Further, any such interruption, security breach, loss or disclosure of confidential information, could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Declining general economic or business conditions may have a negative impact on our business.

Continuing concerns over U.S. health care reform legislation and energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit and government stimulus programs in the United States and other countries have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy. These factors, combined with low business and consumer confidence, could precipitate an economic slowdown and recession. Additionally, political changes in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world have created a level of uncertainty in the markets. If the economic climate does not improve or deteriorate, our business, as well as the financial condition of our suppliers and our third-party payors, could be adversely affected, resulting in a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, due to increasing inflation, operating costs for many businesses have increased and, in the future, could impact demand or pricing manufacturing of our drug candidates or services providers, employee wages. Inflation rates, particularly in the United States, have increased recently to levels not seen in years, and increased inflation may result in increases in our operating costs (including our labor costs), reduced liquidity and limits on our ability to access credit or otherwise raise capital. In addition, the Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns about inflation, which coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks.

Actual events involving reduced or limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver. Although we did not have any cash or cash equivalent balances on deposit with Silicon Valley Bank, uncertainty and liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry remain and the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and its potential near- and long-term effects on the biotechnology industry and its participants such as our vendors, suppliers, and investors, may also adversely affect our operations and stock price.

In addition, the global macroeconomic environment could be negatively affected by, among other things, COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics, instability in global economic markets, increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries, instability in the global credit markets, supply chain weaknesses, instability in the geopolitical environment as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the war in the Middle East and other political tensions, and foreign governmental debt concerns. Such challenges have caused, and may continue to cause, uncertainty and instability in local economies and in global financial markets.

We are actively monitoring the effects these disruptions and increasing inflation could have on our operations. These conditions make it extremely difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities.

Global climate change and related regulations could negatively affect our business.

The effects of climate change, such as extreme weather conditions, create financial risks to our business. For example, the demand for our products may be affected by unseasonable weather conditions. The effects of climate change could also disrupt our operations by impacting the availability and cost of materials needed for manufacturing and could increase insurance and other operating costs. We could also face indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain and disruptions that could result in increased prices for our products and the resources needed to produce them.

Climate change is continuing to receive ever-increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which could lead to additional legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. For example, new federal or state restrictions on emissions of carbon dioxide that may be imposed on vehicles and automobile fuels could adversely affect demand for vehicles, annual miles driven or the products we sell or lead to changes in automotive technology. Compliance with any new or more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws, could require increased capital expenditures to improve our product portfolio to meet such new laws, regulations and standards. While we have been committed to continuous improvements to our product portfolio to meet and exceed anticipated regulatory standard levels, there can be no assurance that our commitments will be successful, that our products will be accepted by the market, that proposed regulation or deregulation will not have a negative competitive impact or that economic returns will reflect our investments in new product development.

We could be exposed to significant liability claims if we are unable to obtain insurance at acceptable costs and adequate levels or otherwise protect ourselves against potential product liability claims.

The testing, manufacture, marketing and sale of medical devices entail the inherent risk of liability claims or product recalls. Product liability insurance is expensive and, if available, may not be available on acceptable terms at all periods of time. A successful product liability claim or product recall could inhibit or prevent the successful commercialization of our products, cause a significant financial burden on the Company, or both, which in either case could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The results of our research and development efforts are uncertain and there can be no assurance of the continued commercial success of our products.

We believe that we will need to incur additional research and development expenditures to continue development of our existing proposed products as well as research and development expenditures to develop new products and services. The products and services we are developing and may develop in the future may not be technologically successful. In addition, the length of our product and service development cycle may be greater than we originally expected, and we may experience delays in product development. If our resulting products and services are not technologically successful, they may not achieve market acceptance or compete effectively with our competitors’ products and services.

If we fail to retain certain of our key personnel and attract and retain additional qualified personnel, we might not be able to pursue our growth strategy.
