have never paid any cash dividends on the Common Stock. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition from time to time. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of the Board. It is presently expected that we will retain all earnings for use in our business operations and, accordingly, it is not expected that the Board will declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.New section: Legal proceedings

June 16, 2023, the law firm Rutan & Tucker, LLP ("Rutan") filed a lawsuit in Orange County Superior Court against us to recover approximately $700,000 in legal fees allegedly owed to Rutan by Cosemi, its former client, which fees were incurred in connection with our acquisition of Cosemi in 2021. On January 18, 2024, Rutan filed a First Amended Complaint that also names James Peterson as a defendant, based on his former role at Cosemi. We are vigorously defending this lawsuit. We are unable to predict the final outcome of this matter, but we do not believe that it will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.New section: Executive compensation

During the year ended September 30, 2024, our acquisitions of EMI Solutions and RaGE Systems significantly diversified our products and our customer base. For the year ended September 30, 2024, sales to Leidos Holdings, Inc. accounted for approximately 40% of our net revenues and no other customer accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues. The loss of this customer would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. primary customers are organizations that sell product solutions for aerospace, military, defense, healthcare, and professional audio video applications. We have also engaged with several OEMs and ODMs in an effort to secure them as customers for our mmWave 5G ICs when the products are available for sale. If they do purchase our mmWave 5G ICs, we expect them to purchase these products on a purchase order basis when we complete development and commence sales, which is customary in the semiconductor industry.management may experience difficulties with operating a public company.

From the filings
Now
management may experience difficulties with operating a public company. executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may experience difficulties with effectively managing and operating a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities, which will result in less time being devoted to the management our operations and growth. We believe that we will need to continue to seek additional personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States will require significant costs, and these may be greater than expected. We believe that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which will increase our operating costs in future periods.

Based in Irvine, California, we are a fabless semiconductor company developing disruptive wireless mmWave 5G and C -Band wireless solutions and delivering connectivity and electromagnetic filtering products for next generation communications systems supporting the aerospace, military, defense, medical and other markets requiring HiRel and HiRel products. To enhance our product portfolio, we also intend to pursue acquisitions of companies with existing revenue which can be scaled, and which possess technologies that accelerate the speed, accessibility, and efficiency of disruptive or more efficient communications solutions, and which will also allow us to expand into strategically aligned industries. Our wireless mmWave 5G integrated circuits currently in development are designed to deliver significant advantages in performance, efficiency, size, and cost. Our True Xero AOCs, which have been in production for several years and were acquired in the Cosemi acquisition, are designed to meet customer needs for high -quality active optical cable solutions at an affordable price. Our interconnect products, which were acquired in the EMI Solutions acquisition, are designed for, and are currently used in aerospace, military, defense and medical applications. Our wireless systems solutions, which we acquired in the acquisition of RaGE Systems, Inc., include products for 5G communications, mmWave imaging, and software defined radio targeting the commercial, industrial, and defense and aerospace sectors. These innovative technologies are designed for large and rapidly growing markets where there is increasing demand for higher performance communication and filtering systems which utilize an expanding mix of both wireless and connectivity technologies.
On December 21, 2023, we consummated the merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.
We were founded with the goal of simplifying the development and maximizing the performance of wireless mmWave wireless 5G products by designing and developing high performance, cost -effective , and ultra -compact semiconductor components and solutions used for signal processing applications in wireless products. Since our inception, our corporate strategy has evolved to encompass the pursuit of acquisitions in diverse industry sectors, including aerospace, military, defense, medical and HiRel technology, as part of our commitment to enhancing communication services. We have developed and/or acquired an extensive intellectual property portfolio comprised of patents and trade secrets that are critical to commercializing our communication products and communications technologies. In leveraging our proprietary technology, we aim to scale the growth of our revenue for our integrated circuits and components by serving large and rapidly growing markets where we believe there are increasing demands for higher performance communication technologies, including both wireless and connectivity systems. We are actively pursuing customer engagements with manufacturers of wireless communications, aerospace, military, defense, medical and HiRel products.
In 2021, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets including intellectual property of Cosemi, an Irvine, California -based global supplier of high -speed connectivity solutions. Cosemi's intellectual property portfolio included a broad range of AOCs and optical engines that deliver optimal connectivity to a wide range of applications, including home entertainment, gaming, augmented reality and virtual reality, video conferencing, medical, mobile devices and monitors, among others. The acquisition of Cosemi built the foundation for our current connectivity business. We believe the patented cable technology and AOC optical chip solutions from Cosemi along with our innovative wireless semiconductor technologies provide more opportunities in the wireless C -Band and mmWave 5G market as the need for faster, more reliable data transmission becomes ever more apparent, whether it is for the data center, infrastructure, home entertainment or consumer electronics market.
July 2024 Private Placement
On July 24, 2024, we consummated the July 2024 Private Placement and issued a Pre -Funded Warrant to purchase up to 2,877,698 shares of Class A Common Stock, a Series A Common Warrant to purchase up to 2,877,698 shares of Class A Common Stock and a Series B Common Warrant to purchase up to 2,877,698 shares of Class A Common Stock to an accredited investor. The aggregate gross proceeds from the July 2024 Private Placement were approximately $4.0 million, before deducting the Placement Agent's fees and related offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the July 2024 Private Placement for working capital, for potential future acquisitions and operational expenses associated therewith. See "Summary of the Prospectus — Recent Developments — July 2024 Private Placement" for more information.
Acquisition of RaGE Systems Inc.
On May 21, 2024, we completed the previously announced acquisition of RaGE Systems pursuant to the RaGE Business Combination Agreement. RaGE Systems specializes in developing products for 5G communications, mmWave imaging, and software defined radio targeting the commercial, industrial, and defense and aerospace sectors.
Aggregate consideration for the acquisition of RaGE Systems consisted of 3,214,045 shares of Class A Common Stock, having a fair value of $7,682 at the closing date, and $2,000 in cash, of which $200 was payable on the closing date; $1,000 will be payable on November 15, 2024 and $800 will be payable on April 15, 2025. We also entered into employment agreements with each of the RaGE Systems stockholders. The RaGE Systems stockholders will also be entitled to receive possible earn -out payments of up to $8,000 over eight fiscal quarters, payable in a combination of cash and shares of our Class A Common Stock, based upon the satisfaction of certain financial metrics and continued employment with us. The RaGE Systems business combination agreement also provides the RaGE Systems stockholders with "piggy -back " registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.
Committed Equity Facility
On March 18, 2024, we entered into the B. Riley Purchase Agreement and B. Riley Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to B. Riley up to 9,500,000 of newly issued shares of our Class A Common Stock (subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement), from time to time during the term of the B. Riley Purchase Agreement. However, the July 2024 Purchase Agreement prohibits us from selling shares of Class A Common Stock in variable rate transactions, which includes sales pursuant to the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, until the one year anniversary of the date the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is effective. See "Summary of the Prospectus — Recent Developments — Committed Equity Facility" for more information.
We accounted for the Merger as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Chavant is treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on holders of Legacy Mobix capital stock comprising a majority of the voting power of our common stock upon consummation of the Merger and having the ability to nominate the majority of our Board, Legacy Mobix's senior management comprising our senior management, and Legacy Mobix's operations comprising our ongoing operations. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, our financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Mobix with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Legacy Mobix issuing shares for the net assets of Chavant, accompanied by a recapitalization. We recognized the net assets of Chavant as of the Closing at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Our operations prior to the Merger are presented as those of Legacy Mobix and the accumulated deficit of Legacy Mobix has been carried forward after Closing. All issued and outstanding securities of Chavant at the time of the Closing were treated as issuances of securities by us upon the consummation of the Merger.
As a result of the Merger, we raised gross proceeds of $21,014, including the contribution of $1,264 of cash held in Chavant's trust account and the $19,750 private investment in public equity ("PIPE") at $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock. Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbols "MOBX" and "MOBXW", respectively, on December 22, 2023. When the market price for our Class A Common Stock is less than $5.79 (i.e., when the Public Warrants are "out of the money"), which it is at the time of this prospectus, we believe that warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Public Warrants.
Acquisition of EMI Solutions, Inc.
On December 18, 2023, we completed the acquisition of EMI Solutions when we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EMI Solutions. EMI Solutions is a manufacturer of interconnect products, including electromagnetic interference filtering products for aerospace, military, defense and medical applications. We expect the acquisition of EMI Solutions to complement our existing product offerings, expand our customer base and allow us to deliver solutions that address a wider variety of applications and markets. Consideration for the acquisition of EMI Solutions consisted of 964,912 shares of Legacy Mobix common stock and $2,200 in cash. We valued the common stock at $8,856, based on the fair value of the Legacy Mobix common stock at the time of the acquisition. Additional details of our accounting for our acquisition of EMI Solutions are included in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
To address our capital limitations and focus our use of cash on the completion of the Merger, which closed on December 21, 2023, and our acquisition of EMI Solutions, which closed on December 18, 2023, we reduced our headcount and temporarily furloughed approximately half of our employees on an unpaid basis since the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. We also reduced our use of outside services and other costs and deferred discretionary expenditures. As a result of these actions, we reduced our operating expenses — mainly in research and development — for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the comparable fiscal 2023 periods. In January 2024, we permanently reduced our headcount by approximately 35%, consisting of employees previously placed on temporary furlough.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we had additional financing activity, principally consisting of the issuance of promissory notes, convertible notes and Legacy Mobix common stock. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources," below, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
COVID-19 Pandemic, Supply Chain Disruptions and Impact of Inflation
The COVID -19 pandemic has caused, and may continue to cause, a disruption and restrictions on our ability to travel, temporary closures of our office buildings and the facilities of our customers or suppliers, cancellations or modification of events, and disruptions at our manufacturers and suppliers located in Vietnam, Taiwan and China, including the COVID -19 lockdown in Shanghai in the first half of 2022 that led to substantial delays in our supply chain in China. We have experienced delays in shipments and product launches that have negatively impacted our sales and operating results relating to our connectivity business, and any future delays, due to pandemics or otherwise, could have a materially negative effect in the future. We also experienced a decline in revenue for the year ended September 30, 2023 due to a decrease in product sales resulting from supply chain constraints that limited our ability to meet demand from our largest customer. In addition, the COVID -19 lockdown in Vietnam triggered operational and solvency challenges for our Vietnamese manufacturer beginning in the first half of calendar year 2023. In response, we transitioned to higher cost manufacturers in Taiwan in July 2023 to ramp up production. However, this shift has resulted, and will continue to result in, lower margins than expected.
To help mitigate the COVID -19 related disruptions at our contract manufacturers and suppliers where we experienced a delay in our supply chain to support our orders, we used higher cost shipping and manufacturing alternatives. Additional COVID -19 disruptions limited our supply availability, forcing us to move to less cost -effective components and materials. The higher cost shipping and manufacturing alternatives and components and materials resulting from supply chain disruptions negatively impacted our gross margin more than we anticipated in our outlook for our business. These constraints continue to exist and are expected to continue to materially impact our gross margin percentage. We are continuing to implement operational measures to minimize the turnaround time in fulfilling our orders. We are also currently designing and plan to introduce lower cost products as alternatives with more competitively priced components, aiming to maintain performance standards. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be sufficient to offset the negative impact of supply chain disruptions on our gross margin and net loss.
In addition to general levels of inflation that we have experienced, we are also subject to risk of specific inflationary pressures due to the expected continuing impacts of the COVID -19 pandemic and related global supply chain disruptions, including increases in commodity prices for materials and components and shipping costs that have had a negative impact on our gross margin. If inflation remains high or increases, our gross margin and results of operations will be further negatively impacted. To mitigate the effect of inflation, as described above, we are designing and plan to introduce lower cost products as alternatives with more competitively priced components, aiming to maintain performance standards. In addition, we have qualified another Taiwanese manufacturer for our connectivity products to foster competition among our manufacturers. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be sufficient to offset the negative impact of inflation on our gross margin and net loss.

We derive our net revenues primarily from product sales to equipment manufacturers. We recognize product revenue when we satisfy performance obligations under the terms of our contracts and upon transfer of control when title transfers (either upon shipment to or receipt by the customer, as determined by the contractual shipping terms of the contract), net of accruals for estimated sales returns and allowances (which were not material for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023). Sales and other taxes we collect, if any, are excluded from net revenue. Our net revenue fluctuates based on a variety of factors, including the timing of the receipt of orders from our customers, product mix, competitor price offerings, global economic conditions, and other factors.
Our net revenue was $2,058 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $80 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1,978. The increase principally reflects the addition of sales of our interconnect products, which we acquired in our December 2023 acquisition of EMI Solutions, and wireless systems solutions, which we acquired in our May 2024 acquisition of RaGE Systems. The increase also includes higher sales of AOCs, which reflects the comparison against the quarter ended June 30, 2023, where our sales of AOCs were adversely affected by supply chain constraints that limited our ability to fulfill customer orders.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2024 our net revenue was $3,488 compared to $791 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2,697 or 341%. The increase principally reflects the addition of sales of interconnect products, which we acquired in our December 2023 acquisition of EMI Solutions, and wireless systems solutions, which we acquired in our May 2024 acquisition of RaGE Systems.
Cost of revenue includes costs of materials, contract manufacturing services for the assembly, testing and shipping products, inbound freight, amortization of acquired developed technology, inventory obsolescence charges and other product -related costs. Cost of revenue also includes employee compensation and benefits (including stock -based compensation) of employees engaged in the engineering services or the sourcing of products, facility costs and depreciation.
Cost of revenue was $1,327 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $285 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1,042 or 366%. The change principally reflects the addition of sales of our interconnect products and wireless systems solutions as discussed above, as well as higher sales volume in our AOCs.
Cost of revenue was $2,608 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1,188 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1,420 or 120%. The change principally reflects the addition of sales of our interconnect products and wireless systems solutions as discussed above.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses represent costs of our product design and development activities, including employee compensation and benefits (including stock -based compensation), outside services, design tools, supplies, facility costs, depreciation and amortization of acquired developed technology. We expense all research and development costs as incurred.
Research and development expenses were $1,369 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3,159 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $1,790 or 57%. The decrease principally reflects lower employee compensation and benefits, lower costs for outside services and lower stock -based compensation expense resulting from the cost reduction actions we initiated during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. These decreases were partly offset by the addition of research and development expenses of the businesses we acquired during fiscal year 2024.
Research and development expenses were $4,328 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $9,209 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $4,881 or 53%. The decrease principally reflects lower employee compensation and benefits, lower costs for outside services and lower stock -based compensation expense resulting from the cost reduction actions we initiated during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. These decreases were partly offset by the addition of research and development expenses of the businesses we acquired during fiscal year 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include employee compensation and benefits (including stock -based compensation) of executive and administrative staff including human resources, accounting, information technology, sales and marketing, outside professional and legal fees, insurance, advertising and promotional programs, travel and entertainment, and facility costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8,710 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6,375 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2,335 or 37%. The increase principally reflects higher costs for outside services, the addition of selling, general and administrative expenses of the businesses we acquired during fiscal 2024, higher costs of insurance as a publicly traded company and an $897 charge for estimated amounts payable under the RaGE Earn -out in connection with our acquisition of RaGE Systems. These increases were partly offset by lower employee compensation and benefits and lower stock -based compensation expense.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $31,731 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $21,198 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $10,533 or 50%. The increase principally reflects higher stock -based compensation expense and increased costs for outside services and insurance. The increase also reflects the addition of selling, general and administrative expenses of the businesses we acquired during fiscal 2024 and an $897 charge for estimated amounts payable under the RaGE Earn -out in connection with our acquisition of RaGE Systems. The increase in stock -based compensation expense principally related to certain awards whose vesting is contingent on both the completion of the Merger and the satisfaction of a service condition. Prior to the Merger, we did not recognize any expense for these awards because completion of the Merger and vesting of the awards was not probable. Upon completion of the Merger, we concluded that the vesting of these awards was probable, and we recognized stock -based compensation expense of $17,361 for the portion of the service period that had elapsed from the date of the awards through June 30, 2024. This charge was partly offset by a $2,242 reduction of stock -based compensation expense we recognized in connection with the modification of a portion of these RSUs in connection with a separation of employment. We expect to recognize the remaining $30,141 cost of these awards ratably over the period through their vesting dates, which extend to December 2027.
Interest expense consists of cash and non -cash interest related to our related and unrelated party promissory notes, notes payable and convertible notes.
Interest expense was $127 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $309 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $182 or 59%. The decrease principally reflects higher costs in the three months ended June 30, 2023 for the value of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that we issued in connection with borrowings.
Interest expense was $1,232 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1,186 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $46 or 4%.
Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liability
In connection with the Merger, certain Legacy Mobix stockholders and certain holders of Legacy Mobix stock options will be entitled to receive an additional aggregate 3,500,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock based on the achievement of trading price targets following the Closing over a seven -year earnout period. We account for the earnout shares as liability -classified instruments because the events that determine the number of earnout shares to which the earnout recipients will be entitled include events that are not solely indexed to our common stock, and we remeasure the earnout liability to its estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period. Additional information relating to the earnout liability can be found in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.
We estimated the fair value of the earnout liability as of the Closing of the Merger at $33,559. As of June 30, 2024, none of the conditions for the issuance of any earnout shares had been achieved and we adjusted the carrying amount of the earnout liability to its estimated fair value of $2,960. As a result of the decrease in the liability subsequent to the Closing, we recognized non -cash gains of $661 and $30,599, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the estimated fair value of the earnout liability was principally due to the decrease in price of our Class A Common Stock between the Closing and June 30, 2024.
The fair value of the earnout liability is based on a number of factors, including changes in the market price of our Class A Common Stock. We have experienced significant fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Common Stock in the period subsequent to the Closing, and may experience significant fluctuations in the future. Such price fluctuations will increase or decrease the value of the earnout liability, and we may be required to recognize additional losses or gains in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss, the amounts of which may be substantial.
Change in Fair Value of PIPE Make-Whole Liability
In connection with the Merger, we agreed to issue additional shares of our Class A Common Stock to the holders of 2,454,737 shares of our Class A Common Stock in the event that the volume -weighted average price per share of our Class A Common Stock during a specified period is less than $10.00 per share. In such a case, we would be obligated to issue up to 1,052,030 additional shares of our Class A Common Stock. We account for the Make -Whole Shares as liability -classified instruments because the events that determine the number of Make -Whole Shares we will be obligated to issue are not solely indexed to our common stock and we remeasure the PIPE make -whole liability to its estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period. Additional information relating to the PIPE make -whole liability can be found in Note 3 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.
As of June 30, 2024, the PIPE make -whole liability had not been settled and we adjusted the carrying amount of the make -whole liability to its estimated fair value of $1,949. As a result of the changes in the estimated fair value of the liability subsequent to the Closing, we recognized a non -cash loss of $310 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and a non -cash gain of $122 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Future fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Common Stock will increase or decrease the value of the PIPE make -whole liability, and we may be required to recognize additional losses or gains in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss, the amounts of which may be substantial.
Change in Fair Value of Private Warrants
In connection with the Merger, we assumed 3,000,000 private warrants (the "Private Warrants") originally issued by Chavant. Each warrant, as adjusted, entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Class A Common Stock at a price of $5.79 per share. The Private Warrants are exercisable at any time commencing thirty days after the completion of the Merger and terminating five years after the completion of the Merger.
We concluded that the Private Warrants do not meet the derivative scope exception because they contain provisions that affect the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, which is not an input into the pricing of a fixed -for-fixed option on equity shares. Therefore, the Private Warrants are not considered indexed to our stock and must be classified as a liability. At the time of Closing, we estimated the aggregate fair value of the Private Warrants and recognized a liability of $150. As of June 30, 2024, the Private Warrants remained outstanding, and we adjusted the carrying amount of the liability to its estimated fair value of $562. As a result of the changes in the estimated fair value of the liability subsequent to the Closing, we recognized a non -cash gain of $68 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and a non -cash loss of $412 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Future fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Common Stock and other factors may increase or decrease the value of the liability for the Private Warrants, and we may be required to recognize additional losses or gains in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss, the amounts of which may be substantial.
Change in Fair Value of SAFEs
We evaluated the SAFEs and concluded that the SAFEs are classified as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We initially recorded the SAFEs at their fair value and remeasured the SAFEs to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. We estimated the fair value of the SAFEs immediately prior to the Merger was $1,522. In connection with the Merger, all of the outstanding SAFEs, representing an original purchase amount of $1,000, were converted into shares of our Class A Common Stock and the $1,522 fair value of the SAFEs was credited to equity, with no further gain or loss recognized.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we did not recognize any gain or loss from changes in the estimated fair value of the SAFEs because the SAFEs were no longer outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the SAFEs decreased by $30, and we recognized a $30 non -cash gain. For the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we recognized non -cash losses of $10 and $528, respectively, resulting from increases in the fair value of the SAFEs. As of June 30 2024, no SAFEs remain outstanding.
Other Non-Operating Losses, Net
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other non -operating losses, net of $128 principally consisted of an increase in the estimated fair value of liability -classified warrants to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock The warrants were exercised during the period and as of June 30, 2024 no liability -classified warrants were outstanding.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, other non -operating losses, net of $1,177 consisted of commitment and other fees of $1,575 payable under the committed equity facility, partly offset by non -cash gains of $400 on the change in the estimated fair value of liability -classified warrants to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock. We did not recognize any other non -operating losses, net during the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2023.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the results of operations in the period the new laws are enacted. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amounts of our deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.
For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1,505 and $2,801, respectively. In connection with our acquisitions of EMI Solutions and RaGE Systems, we recognized additional deferred tax liabilities of $3,078 associated with acquired intangible assets. Based on the availability of these tax attributes, we determined that we expect to realize a greater portion of our existing deferred tax assets and for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2024 we recognized income tax benefits of $1,507 and $2,803, respectively, principally resulting from reductions of the valuation allowance previously recorded against our deferred tax assets.
For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2023, we did not recognize any tax benefit related to our pretax book losses of $10,004 and $32,536, respectively, because we did not expect that the deferred tax asset arising from our net operating losses would be realized in the future.

The decrease in product sales resulted from supply chain constraints, including our capital liquidity constraints in our ability to prepay our suppliers as part of obtaining our inventory, that limited our ability to meet demand from our largest customer for the year ended September 30, 2023, relative to the year ended September 30, 2022. We are continuing to implement operational measures to minimize the turnaround time in fulfilling our orders.
During the year ended September 30, 2022, we granted a customer a perpetual, non -exclusive license to use certain of our patents and developed technology totaling $450 in license revenue. No similar activity was recorded for the year ended September 30, 2023.
Cost of revenue for the year ended September 30, 2023, was $1,620, compared to $2,852 for the year ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1,232, or 43%. Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to the decrease in net revenues for the year ended September 30, 2023, relative to the year ended September 30, 2022. In addition, we incur certain fixed costs such as amortization of intangible assets and occupancy costs. These fixed costs result in additional reductions in our margin as a percentage of our net revenue, when a decline in net revenue exists.

cannot predict whether investors will find the Common Shares less attractive because we rely upon certain of these exemptions. If some investors find the Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Common Shares and the Common Share price may be more volatile. On the other hand, if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we would be required to divert additional management time and attention from the Company's development and other business activities and incur increased legal and financial costs to comply with the additional associated reporting requirements, which could negatively impact the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

may in the future seek additional equity or debt financing. While we may seek to raise additional capital, we cannot assure you that the necessary financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our existing stockholders may result. The sale of a substantial percentage of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus, together with the sale of shares being offered pursuant to the Additional Prospectuses, or the perception that these sales could occur, may make it more difficult for us to issue additional equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. Any equity securities we issue may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A Common Stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, such debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders.
The terms of debt securities or borrowings may impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of volatility that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. In addition, recent and potential future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, could adversely impact the cost or availability of debt financing.

As a result, our estimates and forecasts may prove to be incorrect.
These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments related to revenue, accrued expenses, general and administrative expenses, inventory, costs of products sold, the accounting for and classification of redeemable convertible preferred stock, founders preferred and common stock, stock -based compensation expense, other current assets, income tax expense and deferred tax liabilities, and related accounts to these adjustments, as well as the purchase price allocation for the business combination, in the annual audited financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and adjustments related to stock -based compensation expense and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the interim financial statements as of and for the three -months ended December 31, 2023, and adjustments related to the PIPE make -whole liability and the purchase price allocation for our business combination as of and for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2024.
We have begun implementation of a plan to remediate the material weaknesses, which will result in significant future costs for the Company. Those remediation measures will include (i) hiring additional accounting and IT personnel to bolster its technical reporting, transactional accounting and IT capabilities; (ii) designing and implementing controls to formalize roles and review responsibilities and designing and implementing controls over segregation of duties; (iii) designing and implementing controls to identify and evaluate changes in our business and the impact on its internal control over financial reporting; (iv) designing and implementing controls over the proper authorization of transactions; (v) designing and implementing controls to identify, account for, and value non -routine , unusual or complex transactions; (vi) designing and implementing formal accounting policies, procedures and controls supporting our financial close process, including controls over account reconciliations and journal entries; (vii) designing and implementing controls over determining the appropriate grant date for stock options and evaluating the assumptions used within the Black -Scholes model; (viii) designing and implementing controls over the completeness and accuracy of the income tax provision and related disclosure; (ix) designing and implementing controls over the classification and presentation of accounts and disclosures in the financial statements and to ensure revenue transactions are recorded in the correct period; (x) implementing a more sophisticated IT system and (xi) designing and implementing IT general controls.
Our business could suffer in the event of a security breach involving our IT systems, intellectual property or other proprietary or confidential information.
We are subject to, and must remain in compliance with, numerous laws and governmental regulations across various jurisdictions concerning the development and sale of our products.
We are subject to state, federal and international privacy and data protection laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We develop and sell products that contain electronic components, and such components may contain materials that are subject to government regulation in both the locations where the products are manufactured and assembled, as well as the locations where the products are sold. Since we sell products internationally and intend to significantly increase our sales as we commercialize our semiconductor products, this will be a complex process that will require continuous monitoring of regulations and an ongoing compliance process to ensure that we, and our suppliers and manufacturers, are in compliance with all existing regulations. If there is an unanticipated new regulation that significantly impacts our use of various components or requires more expensive components, that regulation could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The shares being offered in this prospectus, together with the Additional Securities being offered pursuant to the Additional Prospectuses, represent a substantial percentage of our outstanding Class A Common Stock, and the sales of such securities, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline significantly.
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders of up to 8,834,533 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued in connection with the July 2024 Private Placement. Assuming the issuance of all of the shares being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus to the Selling Stockholders under the July 2024 Purchase Agreement, the shares would represent approximately 24% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock as of August 22, 2024.
In addition to this prospectus, we have filed an additional prospectus (the "Resale Prospectus") that relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Additional Sellers of (a) 19,905,953 shares of Class A Common Stock, which include up to (i) 5,646,701 shares of Class A Common Stock and up to 2,254,901 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B common stock that were issued as consideration to certain former stockholders of Legacy Mobix in the Merger (valued at $10.00 per share at the time of the Merger), (ii) 1,784,517 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to vesting or exercise of Legacy Mobix equity awards that were assumed in connection with the Merger (the "Equity Award Shares") with exercise prices ranging from $0.17 to $6.84 per share, (iii) 337,020 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to exercise of Legacy Mobix warrants that were assumed in connection with the Merger (the "Legacy Warrant Shares") with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, (iv) 1,975,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to certain investors (the "PIPE Investors") in private placements in connection with the Merger (the "PIPE Shares") at a cash price of $10.00, (v) 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "PIPE Warrant Shares") issued to the PIPE Investors with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which, when combined with the purchase price of the PIPE Shares, results in a weighted average price for the PIPE Shares of $5.03 per PIPE Share, (vi) 1,341,369 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Founder Shares") issued at a price of $0.0009 per share, (vii) 471,919 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Sponsor PIPE Shares") that were issued to Chavant Capital Partners LLC (the "Sponsor") at a price of $10.00 per share and have been distributed to its members, (viii) 280,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Advisor Shares") that were issued to the Representatives (as defined below) in lieu of cash fees and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2021 (valued at $10.00 per share at the time of the Merger), (ix) an additional 1,052,030 Make -Whole Shares, and (x) 12,496 shares issued in settlement of litigation (the "Settlement Shares"), and (b) 3,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. The Resale Prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of up to (i) 6,000,000 Public Warrant Shares that are issuable by us upon the exercise of the Public Warrants sold as part of the units in the Chavant IPO at a price of $10.00 with each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share of Chavant and three -quarters of one Public Warrant, and (ii) 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants.
We have also filed the B. Riley Prospectus that relates to the offer and sale from time to time by B. Riley of up to 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which we may elect in our sole discretion to issue and sell to B. Riley under the Purchase Agreement from time to time. Assuming the issuance of all of the shares being registered for resale pursuant to the B. Riley Prospectus, the securities would represent approximately 25.11% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of August 22, 2024.
As of the date of this prospectus, the price at which our shares of Class A Common Stock trades is lower than the initial trading price of the shares sold pursuant to the Chavant IPO. Despite the differences in the trading price of our securities and the initial trading price of the securities of Chavant, certain of the Selling Securityholders may be incentivized to sell their shares because they may experience a positive rate of return on the securities that they purchased due to the differences in the purchase prices described in the preceding paragraph and the public trading price of our securities. Based on the closing price of our shares of Class A Common Stock of $1.00 as of August 22, 2024, upon the sale of our shares of Class A Common Stock, the Selling Securityholders, who obtained their offered securities at prices or values below the current market price, may experience a potential profit as follows: (i) the PIPE Investors and members of the Sponsor with respect to the sale of Sponsor PIPE Shares may experience a potential loss of up to $9.00 per share (based on the weighted average price at which the PIPE Shares were purchased), however they would receive a potential profit of up to $1.00 upon the sale of any Make -Whole Shares they receive, (ii) the members of the Sponsor and other holders of Founder Shares may experience a potential profit of up to $1.00 per share, (iii) the Legacy Mobix holders may receive a potential profit of up to $1.00 upon the sale of Equity Award Shares with respect to Equity Awards (less the applicable exercise price of between $0.17 to $6.84 per share), (iv) holders of Legacy Warrant Shares would receive a potential profit of up to $0.99, and (v) the Representatives would receive a potential loss of up to $5.09 per share upon the sale of the Advisor Shares. Based on the closing price of the Public Warrants of $0.199 as of August 22, 2024, upon the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, the members of the Sponsor may experience a potential loss of up to $5.59 per Private Placement Warrant. Other holders, including those that purchased securities in the Chavant IPO, may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the prices or values at which the Selling Stockholders described above were issued the securities they hold and the current trading price of the Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants.
The shares of Class A Common Stock being offered for resale in this prospectus and the Additional Securities being offered for resale in the Additional Prospectuses represent approximately 167% of the total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, a substantial percentage of the total outstanding shares of our shares of Class A Common Stock, as of August 22, 2024.
The sale of the Additional Securities being offered pursuant to the Additional Prospectuses, together with the sale of the shares held by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that these sales could occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock.
During the Earnout Period, we may issue up to an aggregate of 3,500,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock to certain holders. A significant decline in the public trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock could result in no earnout triggering events occurring and no Earnout Shares being issued. If Earnout Shares are issued, the holders thereof may seek to sell some or all of Earnout Shares on or after an earnout triggering event, which sales or perception of potential sales could also depress the market price of our securities.
Fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Closing, there was not a public market for the stock of Legacy Mobix.
• success of competitors;
In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we are involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.
An active trading market for our Class A Common Stock may not develop and you may not be able to sell your shares of Class A Common Stock.
Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.
We will require additional capital to fund our operations and growth. We may be unable to obtain such funds on attractive terms or at all, and you may experience dilution as a result.
We expect our capital expenditures to continue to be significant in the foreseeable future as we complete the designing and testing of, and launch, our wireless products and expand the sales of our connectivity products, and that our level of capital expenditures will be significantly affected by customer demand for our products and services. The fact that we have a limited operating history means we have limited historical data on the demand for our products and services. As a result, our future capital requirements may be uncertain and actual capital requirements may be different from those currently anticipated. We may need to seek equity or debt financing to finance a portion of our capital expenditures. Such financing might not be available to us in a timely manner or on terms that are acceptable, or at all.
While we will seek to raise additional capital, we cannot assure you that the necessary financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our existing stockholders may result. Any equity securities we issue may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, such debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings may impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of volatility that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. In addition, recent and potential future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, could adversely impact the cost or availability of debt financing. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, or if such transactions are successfully completed but do not provide adequate financing, we may be required to reduce our operating expenditures, which could adversely affect our business prospects, or we may be unable to continue operations.
We are an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company," and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, our securities could be less attractive to investors.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation pursuant to the July 2024 Purchase, so long as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part remains effective and usable, the Selling Stockholders may exercise the Pre -Funded Warrant and the PIPE Common Warrants from time to time, which represent approximately 24% of our currently outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of August 22, 2024, and may continuously resell some of all of the shares to the public market at any time and as needed to not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
In addition to this prospectus, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement and other subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Closing, we filed a registration statement of which the Additional Prospectuses forms a part with the SEC to register for resale 19,905,953 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Additional Sellers, including shares issued, or issuable, to the Representatives and their designees, certain equityholders of Chavant (collectively with the Sponsor and its members, the "Founder Equityholders") and certain equityholders of Mobix Labs (the "Legacy Mobix Holders" and, together with the Founder Equityholders and certain other holders, the "Holders"). Prior to the expiration or termination of the applicable provisions of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement, the 12,141,466 Founder Shares and "Legacy Mobix Lock -up Shares" (as defined in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement and, together with the Founder Shares, the "Lock -Up Shares") will be restricted from resale, which may reduce the public "float" of our Class A Common Stock, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange, and possibly having the effect of reducing the trading market for shares of our Class A Common Stock, which could adversely affect the price of shares of our Class A Common Stock.
At any time after the expiration of a lock -up period applicable to the Lock -Up Shares, the Additional Sellers, who beneficially own approximately 136% of our current outstanding Class A Common Stock as of August 22, 2024, will be able to sell some or all of such Lock -Up Shares pursuant to the Additional Prospectuses and at the same time as the Selling Stockholders are reselling shares pursuant to this prospectus.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We are an early-stage company, and our limited operating history makes it remains difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.
We have been focused on developing semiconductor products since our inception in 2020. Our recent acquisitions of RaGE Systems and EMI Solutions have expanded our operations to sales of connectivity products in 2021, and aerospace, military, defense, medical and other markets. in 2023. This limited operating history makes However, it remains difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter. Risks and challenges we have faced or expect to face include, but are not limited to, our ability to:
• continue to develop and commercialize our products;
• continue sales growth from our connectivity, aerospace, military, defense, medical and other products;
• forecast our revenue and budget for and manage our expenses;
• execute our growth strategies including through mergers and acquisitions;
• raise additional capital on acceptable terms to execute our business plan;
• attract new customers, retain existing customers and expand existing commercial relationships;
• compete successfully in the highly competitive industries in which we operate;
• plan for and manage capital expenditures for our current and future products, and manage our supply chain and supplier relationships related to our current and future products;
• comply with existing and new or modified laws and regulations applicable to our business in and outside the United States, including compliance requirements of U.S. customs and export regulations;
• anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and changes in the markets in which we operate;
• maintain and enhance the value of our reputation and brand;
manage our growth and business operations;
• develop and protect intellectual property;
• maintain and enhance the security of our IT systems; system;
• hire, integrate and retain talented people at all levels of our organization;
• successfully defend our company in any legal proceeding that may arise and enforce our rights in any legal proceedings we may initiate; and • manage and mitigate the adverse effects on our business of any public health emergencies, natural disasters, widespread travel disruptions, security risks including IT security, data privacy, cyber risks, international conflicts, geopolitical tension and other events beyond our control.
If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this " Risks Related to Our Business and Industry " section, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Moreover, as we have limited historical financial data and operate in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive market, any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we had a longer operating history or operated in a more predictable market.
We cannot predict whether we will succeed in maintaining revenue growth, or when we will be able to generate income from operations.
We cannot predict whether we will succeed in maintaining revenue growth or when we will be able to generate income from operations. Our revenue has been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted if we are unable to obtain sufficient finished goods to fill customer orders and to maintain or increase our profit margins due to manufacturing limitations, replacement costs, and our capital constraints.
We have incurred losses in the operation of our business and anticipate that our expenses will increase, potentially leading to continued losses from operations in the near future. Moreover, we may not be able to achieve or generate sufficient income from operations to sustain ourselves.
inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows, primarily due to our ongoing investment in product development.
Since inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows, primarily due to our ongoing investment in product development. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023, 2024 and 2022, 2023, we incurred losses from operations of $35.5 $46.4 million and $23.7 $35.5 million, respectively and for the nine six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, March 31, 2025 we incurred losses a loss from operations of $35.2 million and $30.8 $22.5 million. respectively. As of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $92.9 $126.6 million. Since then, we have continued to incur losses from operations, and we expect this trend to persist, along with negative cash flows from operations, for the foreseeable future.
Mobix Labs addition, we may not achieve or generate sufficient income from operations to sustain itself. Mobix Labs ourselves. We may incur substantial losses for reasons, including lack of changes in demand for its wireless, 5G, connectivity, military, defense and medical our products, increasing competition, challenging macroeconomic conditions, regulatory changes and other risks discussed herein.
We cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitability or that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
We believe that there is substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern as we currently do not have adequate liquidity to meet our operating needs and satisfy our obligations beyond the next approximately ninety days. We will need to raise additional working capital to continue our normal and planned operations. We will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. In addition, as a public company, we will continue to incur increased accounting, legal, and other expenses These expenditures will which make it necessary for us to continue to raise additional working capital. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than expected, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our increased operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown events. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our business and otherwise implement our growth initiatives and strategies.
The financial statements included with the registration statement of which in this prospectus is a part have been prepared on a going concern basis. We may not be able to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. We plan to continue to provide for our capital needs through sales of our securities, issuance of debt, and/or related party advances. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
We will need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations and execute our business plan, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any fundraising involving the sale and issuance of equity securities can substantially dilute existing stockholders.
In the future, we will require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, or unforeseen circumstances. We may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. In order to further business relationships with current or potential customers or partners, we may also issue equity or equity -linked equity-linked securities to such current or potential customers or partners. For instance, We issued the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus and we entered into the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which B. Riley committed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of shares of our Class A Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the B. Riley Purchase Agreement. We may not be able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt or other equity -linked equity-linked securities, our existing stockholders could experience significant dilution. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.
We may fail to successfully acquire or integrate new businesses, products, and technology, and we may not realize expected benefits, resulting in harm to the business.
We intend to continue growing our businesses, including through the acquisition of complementary businesses, products, or technologies rather than through internal development.
Identifying suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time -consuming , time-consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to identify suitable candidates or successfully complete identified acquisitions. In addition, completing an acquisition could divert our management and key personnel from our business operations, which could harm the business and affect financial results. Even if we complete an acquisition, we may not be able to successfully integrate newly acquired organizations, products, technologies, or employees into our operations or may not fully realize some of the expected synergies. An acquired company may have deficiencies in product quality, regulatory marketing authorizations or certifications, or intellectual property protections, which are not detected during due diligence activities or which are unasserted at the time of acquisition. It may be difficult, expensive, and time -consuming time-consuming for us to re -establish re-establish market access, regulatory compliance, or cure such deficiencies in product quality or intellectual property protection in such cases, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
If our customers are unable to achieve widespread market acceptance of their products which incorporate our products, we may not be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our business.
The following factors, among others, may affect the level of market acceptance of our products:
• the price of our customers' products;
• industry or user perceptions of the convenience, safety, efficiency and benefits of our products;
• the effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts of our independent sales representative organizations and distributors;
• the support and rate of acceptance of our products and solutions; and • regulatory developments.
If we are unable to achieve or maintain market acceptance of its products, and if our products do not win widespread market acceptance, our business may be significantly harmed.
