LAX 8i Acquisition 2 Corporation

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, and operating results are affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including risks specific to us or the robotics industry, as well as risks that affect businesses in general. The risks disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations and thus our stock price. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part I, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Because of such risk factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described below, which could harm our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results.

We are not currently in compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq and may not be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards in the future.

Our ordinary shares and warrants currently trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “EUDA” and “EUDAW,” respectively. We are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and our failure to continue to meet these requirements may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

On April 5, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq (the “Initial Notice”) indicating that, as a result of not having timely filed the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 with the SEC (the “Initial Delinquent Filing”), the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. On May 18, 2023, the Company received an additional notice from Nasdaq indicating that, as a result of an additional delinquency in the timely filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (together with the Initial Delinquency Filing, the “Delinquent Filings”), the Company remained out of compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

The Company was provided up to June 5, 2023 to or 60 days from the Initial Notice, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company submitted such plan on June 5, 2023. On June 13, 2023, the Company received a determination letter from Nasdaq advising it that the Nasdaq Staff has accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Rules provided that the Company must file its Delinquent Filings as required by the Rule on or before August 4, 2023. If the Company fails to file the Delinquent Filings by August 4, 2023, the Company may receive a notice that its securities will be delisted. In that case, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. If our appeal fails, the Company’s securities may be delisted.

If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our ordinary shares. In the event of a delisting, we would take action to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our ordinary shares to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our ordinary shares, prevent our ordinary shares from dropping below the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s other listing requirements.

Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity. If we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the liquidity of our ordinary shares and/or warrants and the ability of our shareholders to sell our ordinary shares and/or warrants in the secondary market. If our ordinary shares and/or warrants are delisted by Nasdaq, our ordinary shares and/or warrants may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our securities or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our ordinary shares and/or warrants. In the event our ordinary shares and/or warrants are delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to list our ordinary shares and/or warrants on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system. Delisting could also lead to the potential loss of confidence by employees and customers, the loss of investor interest, and fewer business development opportunities.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability continue as a “going concern.”

As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s negative working capital deficit was approximately $4.1 million, and the Company had cash and restricted cash of approximately $0.8 million. The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since 2020. In addition, the Company had, and may potentially continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund its expansion plan and related operations. There is no assurance that the Company’s capital raising efforts will be successful. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

EUDA previously identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and if EUDA is unable to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, this could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The Company produces our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP. Effective internal controls are necessary for EUDA to provide reliable financial reports to help mitigate the risk of fraud and to operate as a publicly traded company. Prior to the Business Combination, EUDA was a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address internal controls and procedures. EUDA and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the audits of EUDA’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses that were identified related to: (i) lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel, especially those with understanding of U.S. GAAP knowledge; (ii) lack of proper mechanism to identify and assess the experience and qualification of third-party specialists. As a result of these material weaknesses, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. EUDA is in the process of developing a plan to remediate these material weaknesses and will continue to identify additional appropriate remediation measures. However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls are fully operational for a sufficient period of time, and the Company has concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively.

At this time, EUDA cannot predict the success of such efforts or the outcome of future assessments of the remediation efforts. As a public company, EUDA will be required to further design, document and test the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404. If existing material weaknesses or control deficiencies are not remediated or if material weaknesses or control deficiencies occur in the future, EUDA may be unable to report the Company’s financial results accurately on a timely basis or help prevent fraud, which could cause EUDA’s reported financial results to be materially misstated and result in the loss of investor confidence or delisting and cause the market price of EUDA’s ordinary shares to decline. If we have material weaknesses in the future, it could affect the financial results that the Company reports or create a perception that those financial results do not fairly state EUDA’s financial position or results of operations. Either of those events could have an adverse effect on the value of the Company’s ordinary shares.

Further, even if EUDA concludes that our internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect fraud or misstatements. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company’s results of operations or cause EUDA to fail to meet future reporting obligations.

EUDA will require additional funding through sale of either debt or equity securities to support its continuing operations and growth of business, and such funding may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and that may adversely impact EUDA’s business, financial condition, results of operations and growth potential.

EUDA’s operations have consumed substantial funds since inception. It will continue to require substantial funding to support its continuing operations. The Company also intends to continue to make significant investments to support business growth, respond to business challenges or opportunities, develop new applications and services, enhance existing solution and services, enhance operating infrastructure and potentially acquire complementary businesses and technologies. EUDA may seek to use equity or debt financings to raise additional funds to support its continuing operations and support growth initiatives. In February 2023, Alfred Lim, Executive Director of EUDA, provided a working capital loan in the amount of $128,750 to EUDA. From January to May 2023, James Tan, the former Chief Executive officer of 8i loaned the Company with an aggregate amount of $500,700. In May 2023, EUDA initiated efforts to raise up to $4,000,000 from the sale of ordinary shares at $1.00 per share. Between May 16 and May 20, 2023, EUDA raised an aggregate of $940,000 from the sale of 940,000 shares of restricted ordinary shares at $1.00 per share. Between May and June 2023, as a result of a number of transactions between EUDA and each of its CEO and two current shareholders who held promissory notes or claims against EUDA, EUDA was able to settle in full its debt obligations in the aggregate amount of $1,617,606 by issuing a total of 1,345,739 ordinary shares to these three creditors, two of whom are related parties to EUDA (see “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence”). There are no assurances that related parties will accept shares of the Company as payment for any of their future loans to the Company.

If EUDA raises additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences and privileges superior or similar to those of holders of ordinary shares. EUDA could also face additional restrictive covenants relating to capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters if EUDA were to secure additional funds from such financing methods, which may make it more difficult for it to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, EUDA may not be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, especially during times of economic uncertainty, while failure to obtain sufficient funding in a timely manner could result in a delay and indefinite postponement of its plans. If EUDA is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on EUDA’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Any restructuring of EUDA’s current debt could also affect the financial condition of the Company. Failure to properly manage the Company’s debt-to-equity ratio could create a disproportionately large interest payment obligation, thereby adversely affecting the Company’s profitability.

The Company’s management team has limited skills related to experience managing a public company. Loss of any senior management or other key employees could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Prior to the departure of the Company’s Chief Technology Officer in May 2023, the Company’s management team was comprised of Dr. Kelvin Chen, the Chief Executive officer, Steven John Sobak, the Chief Financial Officer, and a Chief Technology Officer. The Company’s management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws, rules and regulations that govern public companies. As a public company, the Company is subject to significant obligations relating to reporting, procedures and internal controls, and its management team may not successfully or efficiently manage such obligations. These obligations and scrutiny has required, and will continue to require, significant attention from the Company’s management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of its business, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

EUDA’s future success depends on the Company’s ability to continue attracting, developing, motivating and retaining highly qualified and skilled employees. EUDA’s success also depends, to a significant extent, on the continued services of the individual members of the management team and the Board, who have substantial experience in the industries and in the different jurisdictions in which they operate. Between January and May 2023, four former independent directors left EUDA’s Board. Although highly qualified director nominees were subsequently identified and appointed to fill the vacancies, there is no guarantee that EUDA can continue to retain its current directors. As competition for qualified individuals in the industry could intensify, EUDA may incur significant time and costs to attract and replace key personnel, including Board members.

In addition, EUDA’s loss of any senior management or other key employees on EUDA’s inability to recruit and develop mid-level managers could materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to execute its business plan and find adequate replacements. All of EUDA’s employees are at-will employees, meaning that they may terminate their employment relationship at any time, and their knowledge of EUDA’s business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. If EUDA fails to retain talented senior management and other key personnel, or if the Company does not succeed in attracting well-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. There can be no assurance that any management team member will remain with EUDA. Any loss of the services of key members of the management team could have a material adverse effect on EUDA’s business and operations.

If one or more of EUDA’s key personnel are unable to discharge their duties properly, or in the best interest of EUDA, that may impact EUDA’s business, operations and financial performance adversely.

As previously disclosed, EUDA’s Board voted in favor to remove two former directors from the Board because the Board believed that the conduct of these two former directors were disruptive to the Company’s operations. Similarly, if for any reason, one or more of EUDA’s employees are unable to discharge their duties properly or in the best interest of the Company, that may have an adverse impact on EUDA’s reputation, brand and attractiveness to bring in talent. EUDA may as result incur some costs or losses and there is potential that the Company will lose revenue or future revenue potential. Although it is EUDA’s endeavor to ensure that all of the Company’s employees work to their full potential and in a harmonious manner within the Company’s organization, there are always risks associated with one or more employees not discharging their duties properly and going unnoticed for a period of time, impacting EUDA adversely. Such acts by certain employees may cause employees to lose trust in each other, give rise to conflicts between employees, and failure to meet their responsibilities. Consequently, EUDA’s business may lose revenue and miss out on potential opportunities. Moreover, in other scenarios, it could result in lawsuits, defamation, or similar negative outcomes. Such cases may require sanctions from the senior management of EUDA leading up to and including termination of employment.

EUDA has incurred, and may incur, significantly increased costs and has continued to devote substantial management time as a result of operating as a public company.

As a public company, EUDA has incurred significant costs related to legal, accounting, listing, hiring of external consultants and advisors, and other expenses. EUDA expects that management and other personnel will need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. EUDA may also need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and establish an internal audit function.

Operating as a public company has also made it more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance and the Company may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. This could also make it more difficult for EUDA to attract and retain qualified people to serve on its board of directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

EUDA may qualify as a foreign private issuer, and as a foreign private issuer, EUDA will be subject to reduced reporting requirements applicable to foreign private issuers. It cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements will make EUDA’s ordinary shares less attractive to investors.

If the Board determines that EUDA qualifies for the “foreign private issuer” status defined in Rule 3b-4(c) of the Exchange Act, EUDA will start reporting under the Exchange Act as a foreign private issuer as soon as its second fiscal quarter ends on June 30, 2023. As a foreign private issuer, EUDA will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act, prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, EUDA will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. domestic issuers, and will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose. EUDA will also be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands in lieu of most of the corporate governance rules set forth by Nasdaq. As a result, EUDA’s corporate governance practices may differ in some respects from those required to be followed by U.S. companies listed on a national securities exchange. For instance, EUDA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association do not require EUDA to have a majority of the board consisting of independent directors nor require EUDA to hold an annual shareholders’ meeting during each fiscal year.

The Company cannot predict if investors will find its ordinary shares less attractive because the Company would switch to a foreign private issuer status. If some investors find the Company’s ordinary shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the ordinary shares and its market price may be more volatile.

As an emerging growth company, EUDA is subject to reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies.

EUDA is an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as EUDA continues to be an emerging growth company, it may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) December 31, 2027 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering), (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, the Company will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Even after the Company no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, it may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow it to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this proxy statement and the Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements.

The Company cannot predict if investors will find its ordinary shares less attractive because the Company may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Company’s ordinary shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the ordinary shares and its market price may be more volatile.

Because of the Company’s public float, the impact of the actions taken by a few shareholders on the price of its ordinary shares may be amplified by the Company’s public float, and such price volatility may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of the Company’s ordinary shares.

The Company’s ordinary shares may be subject to extreme volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of its business. Recently, companies with comparable public floats and public offering sizes have experienced instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines, and such stock price volatility was seemingly unrelated to the respective company’s underlying performance. Although the specific cause of such volatility is unclear, the Company’s public float may amplify the impact of the actions taken by a few shareholders on the price of its ordinary shares, which may cause its share price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of its business. Should the Company’s ordinary shares experience run-ups and declines that are seemingly unrelated to the Company’s actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, prospective investors may have difficulty assessing the rapidly changing value of the Company’s ordinary shares. In addition, investors in the Company’s ordinary shares may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of the Company’s ordinary shares declines after this offering or if such investors purchase ordinary shares prior to any price decline.

General Business-Related Risk Factors

Business and Operational

EUDA could incur significant upfront costs in client acquisitions and relationships, and if the Company is unable to maintain and grow these client relationships over time, EUDA is likely to fail to recover these costs or major part of it, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

EUDA derives most of its revenue from additional services required from clients and subscription access fees. The costly initial upfront investment of the Company’s business model and the recognition of associated revenue on a ratable basis renders the Company substantially dependent on achieving economies of scale. Additionally, EUDA devotes significant resources to establish relationships with the Company’s clients and implement solution and related services. Accordingly, EUDA’s results of operations will substantially depend on the Company’s ability to deliver a successful experience for both clients and members and continue maintaining and growing its relationship with the Company. EUDA’s client acquisition costs could also increase faster than revenue as the business continues to grow and expand, and EUDA may be unable to reduce total operating costs through economies of scale such that the Company is unable to achieve desirable profitability. If EUDA fails to achieve appropriate economies of scale or fails to manage or anticipate the evolution and in future periods, demand, of the subscription access fee model, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The digital health industry is relatively young, is currently in its early growth stages and is still evolving, and if it develops towards a mature stage more slowly than EUDA expects, if it encounters a pessimistic outlook or if EUDA’s services are not competitive, the growth of EUDA’s business will be adversely affected.

The digital health industry is relatively young even though it is rapidly evolving, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and maintain high levels of demand, consumer acceptance and market adoption. EUDA’s success will substantially depend on the willingness of its clients’ members or patients to adopt, and the frequency and extent of their utilization of, EUDA’s services and solutions, as well as on EUDA’s ability to demonstrate the value of digital health to employers, health plans, government agencies and other purchasers of healthcare for beneficiaries. If EUDA’s clients, or its members or patients do not acknowledge the benefits of EUDA’s services or platform, or if EUDA’s services are not competitive, then the market may not develop at all, or EUDA may develop slower than it expects. Similarly, individual and healthcare industry concerns or negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy in the context of digital health could restrict market acceptance of the Company’s healthcare services. An occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

EUDA’s short operating history and the rapidly evolving nature of the industry make it difficult to assess the Company’s success and predict the risks and challenges it may encounter.

As EUDA’s business operations began only in 2019, its short operating history and the evolving nature of the digital health industry make it difficult to evaluate and assess the success of EUDA’s business to date, EUDA’s future prospects, and the risks and challenges that EUDA may encounter. These risks and challenges include EUDA’s ability to:

Any failure to address the risks and difficulties that EUDA faces, including those associated with the challenges listed above and elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, could adversely affect EUDA’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, EUDA’s limited historical financial data and the evolving nature of the digital health industry in the Southeast Asian region could limit the accuracy of any predictions about its future revenue and expenses as it would be if EUDA had a longer operating history, operated a more predictable business or operated in a less regulated industry. If EUDA’s assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which it uses to plan and operate its business, are incorrect or change, or if EUDA does not address these risks effectively and efficiently, EUDA’s results of operations could differ materially from its expectations and EUDA’s business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

EUDA relies on its corporate clients for a significant portion of its revenue, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on EUDA’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

EUDA has historically relied on its corporate clients and members based in Singapore for a substantial portion of its total revenue. The Company has a high concentration risk on its corporate clients, which represent a significant portion of its revenue, and could render them unable to grow its business quickly enough to drive organic growth from individual clients. It is also dependent on its Singapore members as drivers for growth in that market and has forecasted them to contribute a significant portion of future revenues in the next 5 years. It also relies on its reputation and recommendations from key clients for the promotion of the Company’s solution to potential new clients. The loss of any of key clients or members, failure to retain some of them or failure to renew or increase subscriptions could have a significant impact on revenue, growth rate, reputation, and ability to obtain new clients. In addition, clients could cancel or fail to renew their contracts in the event of a merger or acquisition of companies, thereby reducing the number of EUDA’s existing and potential clients, members and patient populations.

A majority of EUDA’s business serves a large population of employees working in the construction industry and similar labor-intensive industries. Any resurgence of SARS, COVID, or a highly communicable pandemic condition, and the actions taken by health authorities and policy makers to contain its impacts on public, can affect these industries and in turn would have a material effect on the continuity our business and operating results.

If there is a decrease in the number of individuals covered under the Company’s platform or health, or if the number of applications or services to which they subscribe decreases, EUDA’s revenue will be adversely affected.

EUDA currently relies mainly on organic growth driven by an increase in corporate clients. The Company’s fees are directly proportional to the number of individuals to whom corporate clients provide benefits and the number of applications or services subscribed to by its corporate clients under most of its contracts with them. There are many factors that may lead to a decrease in the number of individuals covered by EUDA’s corporate clients and the number of applications or services subscribed to by the Company’s corporate clients, including, but not limited to, the following:

If EUDA is unable to retain the active customers while attracting new customers, it would result in a loss of future revenue and have an adverse material effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

The digital healthcare industry faces significant risks and challenges from rapid technological changes.

The digital healthcare market faces rapid technological change, changing consumer requirements, short product lifecycles and evolving industry standards. EUDA’s success will depend on its ability to enhance its solutions with the latest technologies and to develop or to acquire and market new services to access new consumer populations.

There is no guarantee that EUDA will possess the resources, either financial or personnel, for the research, design, development and deployment of new applications, technological requirements, or services, or that they will be able to utilize these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence.

Further, there can be no assurance that technological advances by one or more of EUDA’s current or future competitors will not result in the Company’s present or future software-based products and services to become uncompetitive or obsolete.

The industry that EUDA operates in is highly competitive and rapidly evolving, and if it is not able to compete effectively, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.

EUDA operates in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving industry, and we expect that competition will increase as a result of consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare industries and also from new entrants in the markets in which we operate. The Company’s future growth and success will depend on its ability to successfully compete with other companies that provide similar services and other healthcare organizations that seek to build and operate competing services and newer companies that provide similar services at substantially lower prices.

EUDA competes on the basis of various factors, including breadth and depth of services, reputation, reliability, quality, innovation, security, team, technology, platform robustness, price, industry expertise, and experience. If the Company is unable to maintain or improve its technology, management, healthcare, or regulatory expertise or attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales and marketing leadership and support personnel, the Company will be at a competitive disadvantage. Some competitors, in particular larger technology or technology-enabled consultative service providers, have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and significantly greater resources than the Company does.

EUDA’s current or potential competitors may have greater resources financially and logistically than EUDA does, which may allow them to be less sensitive to changes in client preferences and more aggressive in pricing strategies, any of which could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage. As a result, competitors may be more adapt in responding to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or trends and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, potential corporate clients frequently have requested competitive bids from the Company and competitors in terms of price and services offered and, if the Company does not accurately assess potential corporate clients’ needs and budgets when submitting proposals, EUDA may appear less attractive than those competitors, and the Company may not be successful in attracting new business. If EUDA’s prospective or current corporate clients fail to perceive the value of EUDA’s products and services, corporate clients could view competitors’ products to be more attractive. Increases in competition in the Company’s industry could reduce EUDA’s market share and result in price declines for certain services, which could negatively impact EUDA’s business, profitability, and growth prospects.

There is foreign exchange (FX) risk in EUDA’s business as we operate in multiple countries and exchange rates fluctuate, and that may cause FX-related losses or translation losses for the Company.

As EUDA operates in multiple countries, EUDA’s business could also face foreign exchange risks. To date, the Company’s revenue has been denominated in currencies such as Singapore dollars, and Malaysian ringgit, while EUDA also has intention to expand its operations in other parts of the Asian region. As its international contracts are denominated in the respective local currencies, EUDA’s operating results might be impacted from fluctuations in the value of reporting currency when translated. As the Company further expands internationally, its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk may increase as well. However, EUDA plans to move towards creating its own payment ecosystem through the introduction of its own digital currency in the future and that will help the Company in having a more standardized system and help reduce FX risks. The Company also has a certain level of natural hedge in the countries in which it operates as its revenues and major costs in individual markets are both denominated in the same currency.

EUDA’s growth depends on the success of the Company’s strategic relationships with third parties and partners.

EUDA anticipates that it will continue to depend on relationships with third parties, including partner organizations and technology and content providers to grow the Company’s business. Identifying partners, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them, requires significant time and resources. The Company’s competitors may be more effective in incentivizing such potential partners to favor their products or services over EUDA’s. In addition, acquisitions of EUDA’s existing and potential partners by competitors could result in a decrease in the number of EUDA’s current and potential clients, as partners may no longer facilitate the adoption of EUDA’s applications and services to potential clients.

If EUDA is unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining relationships with third parties, the Company’s ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow the Company’s revenue could be impaired and the results of operations may suffer. Even if the Company is successful, it cannot assure investors that these relationships will result in increased client use of its applications or increased revenue. While EUDA expects that these relationships will continue, it cannot guarantee that they will. Any material changes in government regulations, or the loss of these affiliations, could impair the Company’s ability to provide services to members and clients and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

EUDA’s business and growth strategy depends on its ability to maintain and expand a network of qualified providers and partners.

EUDA’s success is substantially dependent upon the Company’s continued ability to maintain a network of skilled and qualified digital health providers. EUDA, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, provides medical services including multi-care specialty care services and holistic care services. EUDA is also dependent on third-party entities and a related party, which they do not own or control, to provide healthcare services to consumers. The significant competition in the digital health market for qualified digital health providers may hinder the Company’s ability to recruit or retain physicians and other healthcare professionals and service providers, which would negatively impact the growth of the Company’s digital health offerings and would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In any particular market, providers could demand higher payments or take other actions that could result in higher medical costs, less attractive services for EUDA’s clients or difficulty meeting regulatory or accreditation requirements. EUDA’s ability to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with third-party providers also may be negatively impacted by other factors not associated with the Company, such as changes in medical reimbursement levels and other pressures on healthcare providers and consolidation activity among hospitals, physician groups and healthcare providers. The failure to maintain or to secure new cost-effective provider contracts may result in a loss of or an inability to grow the Company’s membership base, higher costs, healthcare provider network disruptions, less attractive service for clients and/or difficulty in meeting regulatory or accreditation requirements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

EUDA relies heavily on technology services provided by third parties and its own systems for providing services to clients and members, and any failure or interruption in these services could expose the Company to litigation and negatively impact relationships with clients, its reputation, brand and business.

EUDA relies heavily on significant IT infrastructure and systems and the ongoing maintenance of the regional and local Internet infrastructure to provide the necessary data speed, capacity and security to offer viable services. If EUDA’s relevant service providers’ infrastructure or systems were to fail for any reason, this may cause EUDA’s portals to experience significant downtime or impaired performance, which could have an impact on the Company’s reputation. EUDA’s platform may also be exposed to damage or interruption from system failures, cyber threats (including malware, ransomware, phishing and denial of service (DoS) attacks), telecommunication provider or third-party supplier failures, inadequate system maintenance, damage to the physical infrastructure associated with the network, disasters from natural or human causes, or other unforeseen events which may cause unplanned disruption to EUDA’s systems. These technology failures may affect EUDA’s ability to deliver consistent, quality services, meet contractual and service level obligations, attract new customers, or lead to data integrity issues or data loss. While EUDA has backup plans in place, such as switching to text messages and call services when platforms sense a weak internet connection, significant disruptions to the platform or services could have a material impact on the Company’s reputation and brand and may result in a loss of users of products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, result of operations, financial performance and financial condition. Any vulnerabilities or conditions that could potentially interrupt access or flow of information, or violate patient confidentiality or the Personal Data Protection Act in Singapore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results.

EUDA currently does not hold any issued patents. EUDA’s financial and operational success depends highly on the Company’s ability to protect the Company’s intellectual property and intellectual property rights and failure to do so will adversely impact the Company’s business and financial performance.

EUDA’s success depends largely on the Company’s ability to protect the Company’s proprietary software, confidential information and know-how, technology, and other intellectual property and intellectual property rights. While EUDA generally relies on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with employees and third parties, and license and other agreements with consultants, vendors, and clients, there can be no assurance that EUDA will enter into such agreements or that the Company or its counterparties have not breached or will not breach their agreements. EUDA also may not have adequate remedies for any breach or assurances that its trade secrets will not otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. Additionally, EUDA monitors the use of open-source software to avoid use-cases that would require the Company to disclose its proprietary source code or violate applicable open-source licenses, but if engaged in such uses inadvertently, the Company may be required to take remedial action or release certain of proprietary source code, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, a third party could, without authorization, copy or otherwise obtain and use EUDA’s products or technology, or develop similar technology in spite of the agreements and protections put in place. EUDA could also face difficulties enforcing agreement terms in the various jurisdictions that address non-competition, which might not be enforceable in certain cases.

EUDA currently does not hold any issued patents. As EUDA begins to pursue patents, the Company might not be able to obtain meaningful and adequate patent protection for its technology. Moreover, if any patents are issued in the future, they might not provide any meaningful competitive advantages or might be successfully challenged by third parties.

EUDA may also rely on unpatented proprietary technology and competitors may independently develop the same or similar technology or obtain access to EUDA’s own unpatented technology. While EUDA enters into confidentiality agreements with employees, partners and other relevant parties to protect its trade secrets and other proprietary information, EUDA cannot assure that these agreements will provide meaningful protection in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation, or disclosure of such trade secrets or other proprietary information. In addition, enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. If any of EUDA’s trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, EUDA would have no right to prevent them from using that technology or information to compete. Further, the theft or unauthorized use or publication of EUDA’s trade secrets and other confidential business information could reduce the differentiation of the Company’s services and harm the Company’s business, the value of investment in development or business acquisitions could be reduced, and third parties might make claims against the Company related to losses of its confidential or proprietary information.

EUDA may also rely on trademarks, service marks, trade names, and brand names to distinguish the Company’s services from the services of competitors. While EUDA has registered or applied to register many of these trademarks, it cannot assure that its trademark applications will be approved. Third parties may also challenge the Company’s applications, or otherwise challenge use of its trademarks. In the event that EUDA’s trademarks are successfully opposed or challenged, the Company could be forced to rebrand the Company’s services, which could result in loss of existing brand value and require EUDA to expend additional resources for advertising and marketing purposes. Further, EUDA cannot assure that its competitors will not infringe on its trademarks or that the Company will have adequate resources to enforce its own trademarks.

EUDA’s operations are dependent on its relationships with professional entities, which it may or may not own, to provide physician, healthcare, and consultation services, and its business would be adversely affected if those relationships were disrupted or discontinued.

EUDA uses contract physicians for the clinical and professional services provided to the Company’s clients and members through its platform. While EUDA expects that these relationships will continue, EUDA cannot guarantee that they will. Any material change in the relationships with the Company’s existing physicians and healthcare professionals, whether resulting from a dispute among the entities, a change in government regulation, or the loss of these affiliations, could impair EUDA’s ability to provide services to clients and members and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

To mitigate the dependence on external professionals, EUDA does own some clinics and directly employ some professionals, and plans to continue that strategy in the future. Currently, EUDA directly employs about 10% of physicians and primary care specialists that provide digital health services on the Company’s platform and is actively seeking to hire and expand its direct employment of primary care specialists in the future.

If EUDA is not able to develop new competitive and market relevant services that are adopted by clients, or if EUDA fails to innovate in providing high quality support services required by its clients, EUDA’s growth prospects, revenues and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

EUDA’s longer-term operating results and revenue growth will depend in part on its ability to successfully develop and sell new services that existing and potentially new clients want and are willing to purchase. EUDA needs to continuously invest significant resources in research and development in order to enhance existing services and introduce new high-quality services to clients and prospective clients. If EUDA is unable to predict or adapt to changes in user preferences or industry or regulatory changes, or if the Company is unable to add on or modify its services on a timely basis in response to those changes, clients may not renew their agreements with EUDA, and EUDA’s services may be perceived as less competitive or somewhat obsolete. If EUDA’s innovations are not responsive to the needs of clients, are not appropriately timed with market opportunity, or are not effectively brought to market, it could have a material adverse impact on operating results. EUDA’s success also depends on successfully providing high-quality support services to resolve any issues related to EUDA’s services, as they are important for the successful marketing and sale of services and for the renewal of existing clients. If EUDA does not help clients quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, the Company’s ability to sell additional services to existing clients would suffer and EUDA’s reputation with existing or potential clients would be harmed.

If EUDA fails to maintain brand awareness economically, business might suffer and it could adversely impact the Company’s operational and financial performance.

Maintaining awareness of EUDA’s brand in an economical manner is critical for the promotion of existing services and is an important element in attracting new clients and in attracting and retaining qualified employees. EUDA’s future growth is also expected to be driven by word of mouth accompanied by enhanced brand awareness. As EUDA seeks to differentiate itself from competitors, the success of brand awareness initiatives is crucial, which will depend largely on the effectiveness of marketing efforts and on the ability to provide reliable and useful services at competitive prices.

Additionally, clients might not associate the different brands EUDA owns under the broader umbrella of the EUDA brand. For example, customers might not associate a EUDA service as being under the EUDA brand or related to it, which may result in losing integration benefits to its competitors.

Moreover, third parties’ use of trademarks or similar branding could materially harm EUDA’s business or result in litigation and other costs. If EUDA fails to successfully maintain the Company’s brand or lower customer acquisition costs to maintain the Company’s brand, EUDA may fail to attract enough new clients or retain existing clients to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on brand-building efforts, and EUDA’s business and ability to attract and retain qualified employees could suffer, and thus adversely impact the Company’s operational and financial performance.

EUDA’s marketing efforts depend significantly on EUDA’s ability to receive positive references from existing clients.

EUDA’s marketing efforts depend significantly on EUDA’s ability to call upon current clients and members to provide positive references to new and potential clients. The loss or dissatisfaction of any client, especially long-term clients, could substantially harm EUDA’s brand and reputation, inhibit widespread adoption of the Company’s solutions and services and impair the Company’s ability to attract new clients and members and retain existing clients and members. Any of these consequences could lower EUDA’s annual net dollar retention rate and/or cause loss of future and potential revenue and thereby have a material adverse effect on EUDA’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

EUDA relies on third-party vendors to perform certain services provided on EUDA’s platform and failure to provide these services adequately could have an adverse effect on EUDA’s business, results of operations and growth prospects.

EUDA relies in part on third-party vendors to perform certain services provided on its platform, including payment, hosting and video streaming, and delivery of certain products and services to clients. There is no guarantee that these third-party vendors will perform their obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner, in compliance with applicable regulations, or in a manner that is in EUDA’s and its clients’ best interests, and thus could have an adverse effect on EUDA’s reputation and ability to retain and attract clients. There is also no guarantee that these third-party vendors will be able to continue to provide these services, goods, technology, or intellectual property rights cost efficiently in a manner consistent with EUDA’s business practices. If EUDA fails to replace these services, goods, technologies, or intellectual property rights in a timely manner or cost-efficiently, EUDA’s operating results and financial condition could be harmed. If EUDA’s third-party vendors do not perform their services at a level acceptable to the Company’s clients, or if the Company is unable to leverage its services to a larger group of clients, it could have an adverse effect on EUDA’s business, results of operations, and growth prospects.

EUDA’s proprietary software and platform may not operate properly or in accordance with clients’ expectations, which could damage EUDA’s reputation, give rise to legal claims against the Company or divert resources from other purposes, any of which could harm EUDA’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

EUDA’s proprietary application platform provides clients, members and providers with the ability to, among other things:

Given the different services and solutions that EUDA provides, development and updating of the proprietary software is resource intensive and complex and may involve unforeseen difficulties. EUDA may encounter technical obstacles during the development and updating stages and may encounter additional problems even as it is in service. If EUDA’s services do not function reliably or fail to achieve clients’ and members’ expectations in terms of performance, clients could assert liability claims against the Company or attempt to cancel their contracts, which could damage EUDA’s reputation and impair the Company’s ability to attract or maintain clients.

EUDA’s sales and implementation cycle can be long and unpredictable and requires considerable time and expenses, which may cause EUDA’s results of operations to fluctuate.

The sales cycle for EUDA’s solutions, from initial contact with a potential lead to contract execution and implementation, varies widely from client to client. Some of EUDA’s clients undertake a significant and prolonged evaluation process to determine whether EUDA’s services and solutions meet their unique healthcare needs, which frequently involves evaluation of not only EUDA’s solutions but also an evaluation of those of EUDA’s competitors, which is a process that has in the past resulted in extended sales cycles. EUDA’s sales efforts involve educating clients about the use, technical capabilities and potential benefits of EUDA’s solution. Moreover, EUDA’s large enterprise clients often begin to deploy EUDA’s solution on a limited basis, but nevertheless demand extensive configuration, integration services and pricing concessions, which increases EUDA’s upfront investment in the sales effort with no guarantee that these clients will deploy EUDA’s solution widely enough across their organization to justify the substantial upfront investments.

It is possible that in the future EUDA may experience even longer sales cycles, more complex client needs, higher upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing some sales as EUDA continues to grow its direct sales force, expand into new territories and market additional applications and services. If EUDA’s sales cycle lengthens or if substantial upfront sales and implementation investments do not result in sufficient sales to justify investments, it could have a material adverse effect on EUDA’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

If EUDA cannot implement the Company’s solution for clients or resolve any technical issues in a timely manner, the Company may lose clients and the Company’s reputation may be harmed, and which may adversely impact the Company’s operational and financial performance.

EUDA’s clients utilize a variety of data formats, applications and infrastructure and the Company’s solution must support clients’ data formats and integrate with complex enterprise applications and infrastructures. EUDA could incur additional expenses to ensure the Company’s platform is compatible to support clients’ or members’ data or integrate with its existing applications and infrastructure. Additionally, EUDA does not control clients’ implementation schedules and could face a delay in implementation if clients do not allocate the necessary resources to meet its implementation responsibilities or if it faces unanticipated implementation difficulties. If the client implementation process is not executed successfully or if execution is delayed, EUDA could incur significant costs, clients could become dissatisfied and decide not to continue utilization of the Company’s solution or not to implement the Company’s solution beyond an initial period prior to their term commitment. Moreover, competitors with more efficient operating models with lower implementation costs could potentially jeopardize client relationships.

EUDA’s clients and members depend on support services to resolve technical issues relating to the Company’s solution and services, and may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in member demand for support services, particularly as the Company increases the size of the Company’s client and membership bases. EUDA also may be unable to modify the format of the Company’s support services to compete with changes in support services provided by competitors. It is difficult to predict member demand for technical support services, and if member demand increases significantly, EUDA may be unable to provide satisfactory support services to members. Further, if EUDA is unable to address member needs in a timely fashion or further develop and enhance the Company’s solution, or if a client or member is not satisfied with the quality of work performed by EUDA or with the technical support services rendered, EUDA could incur additional costs to address the situation or be required to issue credits or refunds for amounts related to unused services, the Company’s profitability may be impaired and clients’ dissatisfaction with the Company’s solution could damage the Company’s ability to expand the number of applications and services purchased by such clients. These clients may not renew their contracts, or may seek to terminate their relationship or renew on less favorable terms. Moreover, negative publicity related to client relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage EUDA’s business by affecting the Company’s reputation or ability to compete for new business with current and prospective clients. If any of these were to occur, EUDA’s revenue may decline, and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Future sales and business to clients based in different countries or EUDA’s international operations may expose the Company to risks inherent in international sales that, if realized, could adversely affect its business.

Over the longer term, EUDA may require significant resources and management attention for international expansion, which will subject EUDA to differing regulatory, economic and political risks. EUDA’s international expansion efforts may not be successful in creating demand for EUDA’s products and services outside of the Southeast Asian region, or in effectively selling the Company’s solutions in the international markets EUDA may enter, due to the Company’s limited experience with these international operations. In addition, EUDA will face risks in doing business internationally that could adversely affect EUDA’s business, including, but not limited to, the following:

EUDA relies on third-party platforms such as the Apple App Store and Google Play App Store to distribute its platform and offerings.

EUDA’s apps are accessed and operated through third-party platforms or marketplaces, including the Apple App Store and Google Play App Store. As such, EUDA depends on continued relationships with these providers and any other emerging platform providers that are widely adopted by consumers for the expansion and prospects of EUDA’s business and apps. EUDA is subject to the standard terms and conditions that these providers have for all application developers that govern the content, promotion, distribution and operation of apps on their platforms or marketplaces, which the providers can change unilaterally on little or no notice.

EUDA’s business would be harmed if these changes were to: prevent or limit EUDA’s access to the platforms; cause a decline in popularity among users; modify algorithms or communication channels available to developers; change respective terms of service or other policies; increase applicable fees; or require EUDA to modify or update its apps and technology to ensure compatibility and access for the platform’s users.

If alternative providers increase in popularity, EUDA could be adversely impacted if the Company fails to create compatible versions of its apps in a timely manner, or if the Company fails to establish a relationship with such alternative providers. If EUDA’s providers do not perform their obligations in accordance with platform agreements, EUDA could be adversely impacted.

In the past, some of these platforms or marketplaces have been unavailable for short periods of time. The occurrence of such an event, or users encountering issues that impact their ability to download or access apps and other information, could have a material adverse effect on EUDA’s brand and reputation, as well as EUDA’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Legal (Compliance/Security)

EUDA could incur significant costs as a result of any claim or lawsuit of infringement of another party’s intellectual property rights.

There has been significant litigation in different parts of the world involving patents and other intellectual property rights in recent years. Companies that are in the internet and technology industries are increasingly bringing and becoming subject to lawsuits alleging infringement of proprietary rights, particularly patent rights, and EUDA’s competitors and other third parties may hold patents or have pending patent applications that could be related to EUDA’s business. As the Company applies for its own patents in the future, EUDA’s expects that it may receive notices in the future that claim EUDA or its clients, who are using EUDA’s` solution, have misappropriated or misused other parties’ intellectual property rights, particularly as competition grows and the functionality of applications amongst competitors overlap. If EUDA is sued or served a legal notice by a third party that claims that EUDA’s technology infringes its rights, the litigation, whether or not successful, could be extremely costly to defend, divert EUDA’s management’s time, attention and resources, damage EUDA’s reputation and brand and substantially harm EUDA’s business.

The Company has invested significant time and resources to create its own proprietary software platform. Development of the current software and solutions has been undertaken by employees in Vietnam, Indonesia and Singapore, with whom the Company has non-disclosure agreements.

The software integrates open-source software code and database systems, and leverages on application programming interface (API) connectors to deliver an integrated user experience. The software includes multiple critical trade secrets of the business as well as representing a significant volume of code to be understood if it is to be replicated.

A number of key content resources have been developed to help scale the effective communication of its proposition to the market. Copyright exists in content or written materials that EUDA has created and owns. The copyright also exists in the software codebase created, especially important for those aspects of the software exposed to users such as the application interface.

In addition, in some instances, EUDA has agreed to indemnify clients against certain third-party claims, which may include claims that EUDA’s software solution infringes the intellectual property rights of third parties.

EUDA’s business could be adversely affected by any significant disputes between the Company and the Company’s clients as to the applicability or scope of the Company’s indemnification obligations to them. The results of any intellectual property litigation to which EUDA may become a party, or for which EUDA is required to provide indemnification, may require the Company to do one or more of the following:

If EUDA is required to make substantial payments or undertake any of the other actions noted above as a result of any intellectual property infringement claims or lawsuits against the Company or any obligation to indemnify the Company’s clients for such claims, such payments or costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Breach of the Company’s intellectual property may also require the Company to commence legal actions, which could be costly and time consuming. Failure to defend the Company’s position or intellectual property could reduce the Company’s market position and have similar adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

If the Company fails to develop or license technology for any allegedly infringing aspect of the Company’s business in the future, the Company would be forced to limit its services and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these events could materially harm the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If the Company’s arrangements and agreements with the Company’s partners or its customers are found to violate laws and regulations relevant to the digital health industry, the Company’s business, financial condition and its ability to operate in those jurisdictions could be adversely impacted.

As EUDA’s businesses operate internationally, the Company must adhere to the various laws and regulation of the respective jurisdictions, which includes laws governing remote healthcare, the practice of medicine and healthcare delivery in general which are subject to change and interpretation. Failure to adhere to these regulations could put the Company at risk of statutory actions and cessation of operations and fines, litigation and compensation claims from patients and customers which could have material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The digital health services EUDA offers are subject to laws, rules and policies governing the practice of medicine and relevant medical council oversight.

The Company’s ability to provide and promote the Company’s digital health offerings in each of the jurisdictions that the Company operates in is dependent upon the individual jurisdiction’s treatment of digital health, under such jurisdiction’s laws, rules and policies governing the practice of medicine, which are subject to changing political, regulatory, and other influences. Some medical boards relevant to the jurisdictions that the Company operates in may have established rules or interpreted existing rules in a manner that limits or restricts the Company’s ability to conduct or optimize its business.

The Company’s digital health offerings offer patients and users the ability to see a board-certified medical professional for advice, diagnosis, and treatment of routine health conditions on a remote basis. The nature of such services and the provision of medical care and treatment by board-certified medical professionals could subject the Company and certain of the Company’s affiliated physicians and healthcare professionals to complaints, inquiries, and compliance orders by national and other relevant medical boards in the future. Such complaints, inquiries or compliance orders may result in disciplinary actions taken by these medical boards against the licensed physicians who provide services through the Company’s digital health offerings, which could include suspension, restriction or revocation of the physician’s medical license, probation, required continuing medical education courses, monetary fines, administrative actions, and other conditions. Regardless of outcome, these complaints, inquiries or compliance orders could have an adverse impact on the Company’s digital health offerings and its platform generally due to defense actions related and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors. Any loss of specific licensure, such as medical staff or clinic, as well as loss of license or accreditation required for provision of professional building or residential management or security services could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results.

Due to the uncertain regulatory environment, certain government authorities or relevant boards may determine that the Company is in violation of their laws and regulations, or such laws and regulations may evolve over time. In the event that the Company must remedy such violations, the Company may be required to modify its offerings in such jurisdictions in a manner that undermines its offerings or business, the Company may become subject to fines or other penalties or, if the Company determines that the requirements to operate in compliance in such jurisdictions are overly burdensome, the Company may elect to terminate its operations in such jurisdictions. In each case, the Company’s revenue may decline, and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The digital health industry faces evolving government regulations, and failure to comply with these changes may result in increased costs or adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The uncertainty of the regulatory climate of the Company’s industry may subject the Company’s operations to direct and indirect adoption, expansion or reinterpretation of various laws and regulations. The Company may be required to change its practices at undeterminable future laws and regulation and possibly incur significant initial monetary and annual expense to adhere to the new regulatory changes. These additional monetary expenditures may increase future overhead, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company has identified what the Company believes are the areas of government regulation that, if changed, would be costly to the Company. These include rules governing the practice of medicine by physicians; licensure standards for doctors and behavioral health professionals; laws limiting the corporate practice of medicine; cybersecurity and privacy laws; laws and rules relating to the distinction between independent contractors and employees; and tax and other laws encouraging employer-sponsored health insurance. There could be laws and regulations applicable to the Company’s business that it has not identified or that, if changed, may be costly to the Company, and it cannot predict all the ways in which implementation of such laws and regulations may affect it.

Additionally, the introduction of new services may require EUDA to comply with additional, yet undetermined, laws and regulations. This may require EUDA to obtain additional appropriate medical board licenses or certificates, increase the Company’s security measures and expend additional resources to monitor developments in applicable rules and ensure compliance. The failure to adequately comply with these future laws and regulations may delay or possibly prevent some of EUDA’s products or services from being offered to clients and members, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Inaccurate or incomplete information and data provided to EUDA’s clients through the Company’s platform could adversely impact the Company’s business reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.

The healthcare and digital health industries are highly data-driven, and EUDA aggregates, processes, and analyzes healthcare-related data and information for use by the Company’s clients. As the healthcare industry faces the issue of data fragmentation, inconsistency, and incompletion, the overall quality of data received is often poor while the degree or amount of data which is knowingly or unknowingly absent or omitted can be material. EUDA could also encounter data issues and errors during data integrity checks. If the analytical data that the Company provides to its clients and members are based on incorrect or incomplete data or if it makes mistakes in the capture, input, or analysis of these data, EUDA’s reputation may suffer and its ability to attract and retain clients may be materially harmed.

In addition, EUDA assists clients with the management and submission of data to governmental entities. These processes and submissions are governed by complex data processing and validation policies and regulations, and may expose EUDA to liabilities regarding storage, handling, submission, delivery, or display of health information or other data that was wrongful or erroneous if the Company fails to adhere to the policies and regulations. Although EUDA maintains insurance coverage, this coverage may prove to be inadequate or could cease to be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. EUDA could incur substantial costs and diversion of management time, attention, and resources even if such claims are unsuccessful. A claim brought against EUDA that is uninsured or under-insured could harm EUDA’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If EUDA’s security measures fail to ensure protection of clients’ data, services may be deemed insecure and as a result the Company could incur significant liabilities, reputational harm, and loss of sales and clients.

Services provided on EUDA’s platforms are highly dependent on artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, devices such as the wearable technologies offered by EUDA or its partners, which involve the storage and transmission of clients’ proprietary information, sensitive or confidential data, including valuable intellectual property and personal information of employees, clients and others, as well as protected health information, or PHI, of clients’ patients. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the information EUDA stores and transmits, the security features of the Company’s computers and systems, network, and communications systems infrastructure are critical to the success of the Company’s business. A breach or failure in the Company’s security measures could occur from a variety of circumstances and events, including third-party action, employee negligence or error, malfeasance, computer viruses, cyber-attacks or ransom related attacks by computer hackers, failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software and databases, power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication failures, user errors, or catastrophic events.

As cyber threats continue to evolve with the proliferation of new technologies and the increased sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks, EUDA may be required to expend additional resources to continue to enhance information security measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. If EUDA’s security measures fail or are breached, it could result in unauthorized persons accessing sensitive client or patient data (including PHI) and a loss of or damage to the Company’s data, resulting in an inability to access data sources, process data, or provide services to the Company’s clients. The occurrence of such failures or breaches of EUDA’s security measures, or any inability to effectively resolve such failures or breaches in a timely manner, could severely damage the Company’s reputation, adversely affect client or investor confidence in the Company, and reduce the demand for its services from existing and potential clients. In addition, EUDA could face litigation, damages for contractual breaches, monetary penalties, or regulatory actions for violation of applicable laws or regulations and incur significant costs for remedial measures to prevent future occurrences and mitigate past violations. While EUDA has outsourced security measures to a third-party agency as preventive measures to protect the integrity of the Company’s clients’ and members’ information, this solution might not be comprehensive enough to ensure the safety of such data. Although EUDA maintains adequate insurance coverage covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses, EUDA may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security lapse or a breach related incident.

EUDA may experience cyber-security and other breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period as cyber-attack techniques constantly evolve. EUDA also may not be able to comprehensively anticipate such cyber security threats as they may not be recognized until the breach occurs. As such, EUDA may be unable to implement adequate preventive measures and the Company’s actions would be limited to being reactive in nature. EUDA also cannot ensure the complete integrity or security of such data in the Company’s systems in the event that the Company’s clients authorize or enable third party access to the information stored on the Company’s platforms and systems. If an actual or perceived breach of EUDA’s security occurs, or if EUDA is unable to effectively resolve such breaches in a timely manner, the market perception of the effectiveness of the Company’s security measures could be harmed and it could lose sales and clients, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results. EUDA could also be subjected to litigation from clients and providers in the event of such security breaches and that could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Although EUDA uses best efforts to maintain insurance coverage the Company deems adequate to address cyber-security, EUDA may find such coverage lacking or unavailable in certain instances which could have material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
