Shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants

Syra Health Corp.

This is the initial public offering of units of securities (the “Units”) of Syra Health Corp. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our Class A common stock. The public offering price per Unit is $4.125.

Each Unit consists of (a) one share of our Class A common stock (“Class A common stock”) and (b) one warrant (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at an exercise price equal to $6.50 per share, exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The shares of our Class A common stock and the Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately, but will be purchased together in this offering.

We have been approved to list our Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SYRA.” We do not intend to apply for a listing of the Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, and we do not expect a market to develop for the Warrants.

Upon completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined in the corporate governance rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market; however, we do not expect to utilize any related exemptions to governance rules as a result of being a controlled company.

We have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and convertible Class B common stock (“Class B common stock”). The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 16.5 votes and is convertible at any time into 10 shares of Class A common stock. In addition, each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into 10 shares of Class A common stock upon the death of the holder or any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), including, but not limited to, trusts for the benefit of the stockholder and partnerships, corporations and other entities owned by the stockholder. Following this offering, the holders of all of our outstanding Class B common stock will hold approximately 71.1% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, based upon the conversion of all outstanding notes into an aggregate of 446,206 shares of our Class A common stock and no exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

The dual-class structure of our common stock as contained in our Certificate of Incorporation has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who hold our Class B common stock after this offering. As of September 28, 2023, there were 833,334 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding, representing 79.6% of our total voting securities outstanding. Such Class B holders shall continue to have voting control until they hold under 50.1% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, or approximately 587,250 shares of Class B common stock, after the completion of this offering. This ownership will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transactions requiring stockholder approval, and that may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock.

We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9.

We have granted the underwriters a 45-day option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to 242,250 additional shares of Class A common stock and/or Warrants at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount.

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

The underwriters expect to deliver the Units on or about October 3, 2023.

Overview

We are a healthcare services company promoting preventative health, holistic wellness, health education, and equitable healthcare for all patient demographics. We leverage deep scientific and healthcare expertise to create strategic frameworks and develop patient-centric solutions for the betterment of patient lives and health outcome linked to developing a healthier population. We strive to offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions in health education services, population health management, behavioral and mental health, healthcare workforce and digital health.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Indiana Family and Social Services Administration accounted for approximately 98.0% and 96.7% of our revenues and 88.3% and 97.1% of our accounts receivable, respectively, as due from the combined divisions (NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Division of Mental Health and Addiction) of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Indiana Family and Social Services Administration accounted for approximately 97.7% and 98.3% of our revenues and 98.8% and 91.9% of our accounts receivable, respectively, as due from the combined divisions (NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Division of Mental Health and Addiction) of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.

Our Services

Health Education Services

We believe that one of the main drivers of the healthcare education solutions market is the need to address challenges in the healthcare industry through effective and innovative medical and scientific training. With evolving healthcare technology, healthcare professionals must be knowledgeable with respect to various patient-care approaches to make better informed clinical decisions and assure patient satisfaction. We believe that targeted and continuous healthcare education solutions are needed to help healthcare professionals improve their competency, improve health equality and incorporate innovative and new therapeutic options into practice to improve overall patient care quality. We develop medical education content to drive the organizational and strategic brand goals and vision of our clients. Our education outreach plan utilizes omnichannel delivery approaches from a suite of solutions for in-person, virtual and hybrid arrangements, and our deliverables include traditional print and electronic formats. Some of our targeted education approaches include the utilization of artificial intelligence tools to provide real-time information to customers. Within our health education service line we offer the following services: medical communications, patient education, and healthcare training.

On September 3, 2021, we entered into a professional services contract with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Division of Mental Health and Addiction, as amended on April 25, 2023, pursuant to which we are coordinating the work of the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup and supporting data-driven decision-making regarding prevention efforts across state agencies and bodies.

Population Health Management

We define population health management as the process of assessing and analyzing healthcare and its delivery to create improvement for a population of individuals. We are developing end-to-end solutions and strategies to improve quality of care, access to care, health outcomes, and healthcare policies. We believe that our solutions will assist individuals in reaching their full health potential through preventative care, care coordination and patient engagement. Our team of service providers apply advanced health analytics to real-world data to provide meaningful insights to improve quality of clinical care and understand patterns and trends around diagnosis, treatment and continued care. We believe our team helps stratify health risks based on social determinants of health, predict utilization of resources and health care costs, identify patient-level interventions and recommend population-level strategies. Within our population health management service line we offer the following services: analytics as a service, epidemiology and health equity analytics solutions.

Behavioral and Mental Health

We strongly believe in behavioral and mental health equity and our mission is to provide solutions that help improve health care and provide access to all populations, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or geographic location. With our specialized services, we believe that we can help solve the behavioral and mental health needs of various organizations, including health organizations, large employers and schools. Currently, we offer telehealth and prevention program services; however, to date, we have not generated any revenue from such services. Specifically, we are developing Syrenity as a convenient, on-demand telehealth platform for mental health services that provides interactive patient experience. Through Syrenity, we intend to offer 24/7 access to safe and secure counseling and care coordination with a variety of medical health professionals such as psychiatrists, therapists, nurse practitioners and peer coaches and can provide similar services and solutions for employers and their employees. Furthermore, Syrenity is intended to provide valuable tips, solutions and potential treatment interventions for improving mental health.

Healthcare Workforce

Our healthcare staffing solutions are intended to help evaluate the immediate and longitudinal workforce needs of our client’s organization. Using agile implementation staffing methodologies we make it seamless and cost-efficient to expand our client’s clinical personnel. We recruit experienced nurses and allied health professionals for long-term fixed contract positions at hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country. Currently, we hold contracts with the State of Indiana psychiatric hospital to provide healthcare licensed and ancillary staff. Other staffing positions that we recruit include care coordinators, specialists to fill healthcare management roles, healthcare educators, therapists, healthcare technicians and health plan specialists.

On July 27, 2021, we entered into a professional services contract with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, NeuroDiagnostic Institute, as amended on April 6, 2022 and June 29, 2022, pursuant to which we provide medical staffing services to the NeuroDiagnostic Institute.

Digital Health

We use digital health to bring innovation into the healthcare practice. By providing stakeholders with data, we empower stakeholders to address factors that impact holistic health, including physical, behavioral and social elements. We are developing digital and cloud-based platforms to help improve cost savings through the automation of health operations which also provide clinical insights that personalize care and improve patient satisfaction. Our solutions will include digital transformation, cloud and security, artificial intelligence, patient engagement, and health apps. Our Soulcial app, which we intend to launch in the second half of 2023, is intended to connect the mind, body and soul elements and provides a way to connect to caregivers and peers, thus alleviating social isolation. The behavioral and mental health modules in Soulcial are intended to help self-assess stress, anxiety and depression and connect patients to service providers for treatment interventions. In addition, we recently launched CarePlus, a user-friendly electronic medical records solution designed for small to mid-sized healthcare organizations. CarePlus offers customizable templates, e-prescribing, laboratory integration, and patient portal access to streamline clinical workflows and efficiently manage patient health information. Furthermore, we intend to offer an artificial intelligence chatbot trained to have human-like conversations using a process known as natural language processing to facilitate and provide end-to-end query resolution for the patients. Patients will be able to utilize our chatbot for multiple features such as learning more about their condition, identifying healthcare professionals in their vicinity, scheduling, billing purposes, and learning about their health benefits from a health plan. To date, we have not generated any revenue from any of the foregoing offerings.

Growth Strategies

We hope to become a leader in clinical healthcare solutions by providing customized and comprehensive end-to-end solutions for our customers in the public and private healthcare sectors and expand our operations to other metropolitan areas. As we continue our expansion, we anticipate that our professional pool and infrastructure will grow to support the breadth and depth of our services. In addition, we may expand our footprint by acquiring companies that offer similar service lines.

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this Prospectus Summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Corporate Information

We were organized on November 20, 2020 as an Indiana corporation under the name Syra Health Corp. On March 11, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Delaware Secretary of State whereby we converted from an Indiana corporation to a Delaware corporation.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenues during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) enacted in 2012. As an emerging growth company, we expect to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

We may use these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.

The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards as permitted by the JOBS Act.

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (iii) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

THE OFFERING

The number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 3,527,092 shares of Class A common stock and 833,334 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of September 28, 2023, and excludes:

Except as otherwise indicated herein, all information in this prospectus assumes or gives effect to:

Summary Financial Data

The following tables set forth our summary financial data as of the dates and for the periods indicated. We have derived the summary statements of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 from our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We have derived the summary statements of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and our balance sheet data as of June 30, 2023 from our unaudited interim financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim financial statements. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in the future, and the results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other period. The following summary financial data should be read with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Statements of Operations Data:

Balance Sheet Data:

⁽¹⁾ On a pro forma basis to reflect (i) $405,010 of proceeds received from advances from a related party received on various dates from July 11, 2023 through August 23, 2023 and (ii) the conversion of $1,472,460 of principal and accrued interest of outstanding convertible notes into an aggregate of 446,206 shares of Class A common stock upon the closing of this offering based upon an initial public offering price of $4.125 per Unit.

⁽²⁾ On a pro forma as adjusted basis to give further effect to (i) the issuance and sale of 1,615,000 Units in this offering at an initial public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as the other information included in this prospectus, including “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital

Although we have generated approximately $2.2 million, $5.6 million and $1.4 million of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, our future profitability is uncertain.

Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development and expansion of a business enterprise. Our net losses were $1,588,692, $2,118,165 and $3,280 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $3,715,304, $2,126,612 and $8,447, respectively. If we are unable to achieve and maintain profitability, we may be unable to continue our operations.

Even if this offering is successful, we will require substantial additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital on favorable terms when needed, we could be forced to curtail, delay or discontinue our business.

Since our inception, we have not generated sufficient revenues from our operations to continue to fund the development and expansion of our business. To date, we have funded a significant portion of our operations through the sale of our equity securities. As of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $36,449, $3,344 and $100,012, respectively. We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $5.03 million (or $5.94 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), based upon an initial public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We expect that the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our current operations through at least 12 months from the date of this prospectus. However, our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings or other third-party funding or a combination of these approaches. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or based upon specific strategic considerations.

Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our products and services. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities may dilute our stockholders. In addition, the future issuance of shares of Class B common stock may be dilutive to the holders of Class A common stock, particularly with respect to their voting power. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and we may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to make certain dividends, incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.

If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue our operations or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2022 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Our independent registered public accounting firm included in its opinion for the year ended December 31, 2022 an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring losses from operations and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, reduce expenditures and generate significant revenue. Our financial statements as of December 31, 2022 did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The reaction of investors to the inclusion of a going concern statement by our auditors, and our potential inability to continue as a going concern, in future years could materially adversely affect our share price and our ability to raise new capital.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We face significant competition, which may harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We face substantial competition in the healthcare services markets. Our key competitors include, among others, healthcare consulting service providers, healthcare payment accuracy companies and providers of other data products and data analytics solutions, including healthcare risk adjustment, quality, economic statistics and other data. We also compete with certain of our customers that internally provide some of the same solutions that we offer. The increasing standardization of certain healthcare services has made it easier for companies to enter these markets with competitive products and services. We cannot fully anticipate whether or when companies in adjacent or other product or service areas may launch competitive products and/or services, and any such entry may lead to obsolescence of our products and/or services or loss of market share or erosion of the prices for our solutions, or both. The extent of this competition may vary by the size of companies, geographical coverage and scope and breadth of products and services offered. Furthermore, some of our competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial or other resources than we do. The vigorous competition we face requires us to provide high quality, innovative products at a competitive price. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to upgrade our existing solutions, or introduce new solutions at the same rate as our competitors, or at all, nor can we guarantee that such upgrades or new solutions will achieve market acceptance over or among competitive offerings, or at all. Therefore, these competitive pressures could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

If we are unable to retain our existing customers or attract new customers, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer.

Our success depends substantially upon the retention of our existing customers and attracting new customers. We may not be able to retain our existing customers or attract new customers if we are unable to provide solutions or services that our existing or prospective customers believe enable them to achieve improved efficiencies and cost-effectiveness. Our success in retaining and attracting customers will also depend, in part, on our ability to be responsive to pricing pressures and changing business models. To remain competitive in the healthcare services markets, we must continuously upgrade our existing solutions, and develop and introduce new solutions on a timely basis. Future advances in the healthcare services market could lead to new products or services that are competitive with our solutions, resulting in pricing pressure or rendering our solutions obsolete or not competitive. We also may not be able to retain or attract customers if our solutions contain errors or otherwise fail to perform properly, if our pricing structure is not competitive or if we are unable to renegotiate our customer contracts upon expiration. If we are unable to maintain our customer retention rates, or if we are unable to attract new customers, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Our business strategy and future success depend on our ability to cross-sell our solutions.

Our ability to generate revenue and growth partly depends on our ability to cross-sell our solutions to our existing customers and new customers. We may not be successful in cross-selling our solutions because our customers may find our additional solutions unnecessary, unattractive or cost-ineffective. Our failure to sell additional solutions to our existing and new customers could negatively affect our ability to grow our business.

If we are unable to successfully expand our sales force productivity, sales of our solutions and the growth of our business and financial performance could be harmed.

We continue to invest significantly in our sales force to obtain new customers and increase sales to existing customers. There is significant competition for sales personnel with the skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth and profitably will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient numbers of sales personnel to support our sales efforts. A portion of our current sales personnel are new to our Company. New hires require significant training and may require a lengthy onboarding process before they achieve full productivity. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become productive as quickly as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the markets where we do business or plan to do business. If we are unable to recruit, train and retain a sufficient number of productive sales personnel, sales of our solutions and the growth of our business could be harmed. Additionally, if our efforts to improve sales force productivity do not result in increased revenue, our operating results could be negatively impacted due to increased operating expenses associated with these efforts.

An economic downturn or volatility could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The United States and world economies have experienced significant economic uncertainty and volatility during recent years. A weakening of economic conditions could lead to reductions in demand for our solutions. As a result of volatile or uncertain economic conditions, we may experience the negative effects of increased financial pressures on our customers. For instance, our business could be negatively impacted by increased competitive pricing pressure and a decline in our customers’ creditworthiness, which could result in us incurring increased bad debt expense. Additionally, volatile or uncertain economic conditions in the United States and other parts of world could lead our state and government customers to terminate, or elect not to renew, existing contracts with us, or not enter into new contracts with us. Furthermore, demand for staffing services is sensitive to changes in economic activity. Many healthcare facilities utilize temporary healthcare professionals to accommodate an increase in hospital admissions. Conversely, when hospital admissions decrease in economic downturns or periods of high inflation, due to reduced consumer spending, the demand for staffing healthcare professionals typically declines. In times of economic downturn and inflation, permanent full-time and part-time healthcare facility staff are generally inclined to work more hours and overtime, resulting in fewer available vacancies and less demand for our services. If we are not able to timely and appropriately adapt to changes resulting from a weak economic environment, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Pandemics, such as COVID-19, may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows and that of our clients.

The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to control its spread had a significant impact on our operations and the operations of our healthcare clients. Previously, our hospital and other health care provider clients prioritized their resources, capacity and staff as the COVID-19 outbreak strained their organizations which adversely affected our business, including by negatively impacting the demand and timing for implementing our solutions and the timing of payment for our services. For example, while the COVID-19 pandemic had a minimal impact on our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, it negatively impacted revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, as we generated less revenue from sales of our professional staffing services than anticipated. In addition, we previously instituted a work-from-home policy for some of our employees and had limited employee travel to essential travel only, which restricted some sales, marketing and other important business activities.

Pandemics, such as COVID-19, may have a material economic effect on our business. While the potential economic impact brought by such pandemics may be difficult to assess or predict, it has caused, and may result in further significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital either at all or on favorable terms. In addition, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from a health pandemic could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock.

Our ability to generate revenue could suffer if we do not continue to update and improve our existing solutions and develop new ones.

We must continually improve our existing solutions in a timely manner and introduce new and valuable solutions in order to respond to regulatory developments and customer demands and, thereby, retain existing customers and attract new ones. For example, from time to time, government agencies may alter format and data code requirements applicable to electronic transactions. In addition, our customers may request that our solutions be customized to satisfy particular needs. We may not be successful in responding to regulatory developments or changing customer needs. In addition, these regulatory or customer-imposed requirements may impact the profitability of particular solutions and customer engagements. If we do not respond successfully to regulatory changes, as well as evolving industry standards and customer demands, our solutions may become obsolete. If we lower our prices on some of our solutions, we will need to increase our margins on other solutions in order to maintain our overall profitability.

Achieving market acceptance of new or updated solutions is necessary in order for them to become profitable and will likely require significant efforts and expenditures.

Our future financial results will depend in part on whether our new or updated solutions receive sufficient customer acceptance. Achieving market acceptance for new or updated solutions may require substantial marketing efforts and expenditure of significant funds to create awareness and demand by our existing or prospective customers. Failure to achieve broad penetration in target markets with respect to new or updated solutions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our business would be adversely affected if we cannot obtain, process or distribute data we require to provide our solutions.

Our business relies on our ability to obtain, process, monetize and distribute data in the healthcare industry in a manner that complies with applicable law, regulation and contractual and restrictions. Our failure to obtain and distribute such data in a compliant manner could have a harmful effect on our ability to use and disclose such data which in turn could impair our ability to share such data with our customers or incorporate it into our services and offerings. In addition to complying with requirements in obtaining the data, the use, processing and distribution of such data may require us to obtain consent from third parties or follow additional laws, regulations or contractual restrictions that apply to the healthcare industry. Moreover, we may be subject to claims or liability for use or disclosure of information. Any such claims or liabilities and other failures to comply with applicable requirements could subject us to unexpected costs and adversely affect our operating results.

Poor service, system errors or failures of our solutions to conform to specifications could cause unforeseen liabilities or injury, harm our reputation and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Some of our solutions are intended to provide information to healthcare professionals in the course of delivering patient care. Although our contracts may disclaim liability for medical decisions and responsibility for patient care, if use of or inability to use our solutions leads to faulty clinical decisions or injury to patients, such disclaimers may be unenforceable and we could be subject to claims or litigation by healthcare professionals, their patients or our customers. Further, negative publicity regarding our services, whether accurate or inaccurate, could harm our reputation, decrease demand for our services, lead to withdrawals of our services or impair our ability to successfully launch and market our services in the future.

We attempt to limit, by contract, our liability for damages arising from our negligence, errors, mistakes or security breaches. However, contractual limitations on liability may not be accepted by our customers, may not be enforceable or may otherwise not provide sufficient protection to us from liability for damages. We maintain liability insurance coverage, including coverage for cyber-liability. It is possible, however, that claims could be denied or exceed the amount of our applicable insurance coverage, if any, or that this coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts. Even if these claims do not result in liability to us, investigating and defending against them could be expensive and time consuming and could divert management’s attention away from our operations. In addition, negative publicity caused by these events may negatively impact our customer relationships, market acceptance of our solutions or may harm our reputation and our business.

Disruptions in service or damages to our data or systems failures, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our business operations depend on our ability to maintain and protect our network and computer systems, some of which are outsourced to certain third-party hosting providers. Our operations are vulnerable to interruption and/or damage from a number of sources, many of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation: (1) power loss and telecommunications failures; (2) fire, flood, hurricane and other natural disasters; (3) software and hardware errors, failures or crashes; and (4) cyber and ransomware attacks, computer viruses, hacking, break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other similar disruptive problems. The occurrence of any of these events could result in interruptions, delays or cessations in service to users of our solutions, which could impair or prohibit our ability to provide our solutions, reduce the attractiveness of our solutions to our customers and could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. If customers’ access to our solutions is interrupted, we could be in breach of our agreements with customers and/or exposed to significant claims. Any significant instances of system downtime could negatively affect our reputation and ability to provide our services, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Breaches and failures of IT systems and the sensitive information we transmit, use and store, expose us to potential liability and reputational harm.

Our business relies on information systems to obtain, process, analyze, and manage data. To the extent IT systems are not successfully implemented or fail, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. Further, our business relies to a significant degree upon the secure transmission, use and storage of sensitive information, including protected health information and other personally identifiable information, financial information and other confidential information and data within these systems.

To protect this information, we seek to implement commercially reasonable security measures and maintain information security policies and procedures informed by requirements under applicable law and recommended practices, in each case, as applicable to the data collected, hosted and processed. Despite our security management efforts our business is vulnerable to unauthorized access to data and/or breaches of confidential information due to criminal conduct, physical break-ins, hackers, employee or insider malfeasance and/or improper employee or contractor access, computer viruses, programming errors, denial-of-service attacks, ransomware events, phishing schemes, fraud, terrorist attacks, human error or other breaches by insiders or third parties or similar disruptive problems. It is not possible to prevent all security threats to our data. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time. Further, defects in the design or manufacture of applications we develop or procure from third parties could compromise our data. These events, including unauthorized access, misappropriation, disclosure or loss of sensitive information (including financial or personal health information) or a significant disruption of our network, expose us to risks including risks to our ability to provide our solutions, management distraction and the obligation to devote significant financial and other resources to mitigate such problems and increases to our future information security costs. Moreover, unauthorized access, use or disclosure of certain sensitive information in our possession or our failure to satisfy legal requirements, including requirements relating to safeguarding protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) or state data privacy laws could result in civil and criminal liability and regulatory action, which could result in potential fines and penalties, as well as costs relating to investigation of an incident or breach, corrective actions, required notifications to regulatory agencies and customers, credit monitoring services and other necessary expenses. In addition, actual or perceived breaches of our security management efforts can cause existing customers to terminate their relationship with us and deter existing or prospective customers from using or purchasing our solutions in the future. These events can have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

Because our products and services involve the storage, use and transmission of personal information of consumers, we may be the target of attempted cyber and other security threats by outside third parties, including technically sophisticated and well-resourced bad actors attempting to access or steal the data we store. Vendor, insider or employee cyber and security threats also occur and are a significant concern for all companies, including ours. There have, in the past, been a number of high-profile security breaches involving the improper dissemination of personal information of individuals both within and outside of the healthcare industry. These breaches have resulted in lawsuits and governmental enforcement actions that have sought or obtained significant fines and penalties, and have required companies to enter into agreements with government regulators that impose ongoing obligations and requirements, including internal and external (third party) monitorships for five years or more. While we maintain liability insurance coverage including coverage for cyber-liability, claims may not be covered or could exceed the amount of our applicable insurance coverage, if any, or such coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts.

We rely on Internet infrastructure, bandwidth providers, data center providers, other third parties and our own systems in providing certain of our solutions to our customers, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties or our own systems could expose us to litigation and negatively impact our relationships with customers, adversely affecting our brand and our business.

Our ability to deliver our solutions is dependent on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure of the Internet and other telecommunications services by third parties. This includes maintenance of a reliable network connection with the necessary speed, data capacity and security. As a result, our information systems require an ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain and enhance existing systems and develop new systems in order to keep pace with continuing changes in information technology, emerging cybersecurity risks and threats, evolving industry and regulatory standards and changing preferences of our customers.

We may experience interruptions in these systems, including server failures that temporarily slow down the performance of our solutions. We rely on internal systems as well as vendors, including bandwidth and telecommunications equipment providers, to provide our solutions. We do not maintain redundant systems or facilities for some of these services. Interruptions in these systems, whether due to system failures, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or other catastrophic events, could affect the security or availability of our solutions and prevent or inhibit the ability of our customers to access our solutions.

If a catastrophic event were to occur with respect to one or more of these systems or facilities, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could result in substantial costs to remedy those problems or negatively impact our relationship with our customers, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure by our customers to obtain proper permissions or provide us with accurate and appropriate information may result in claims against us or may limit or prevent our use of information, which could harm our business. Additionally, privacy concerns relating to our business could damage our reputation and deter current and potential customers from using our solutions.

To the extent we are not otherwise permitted to use and/or disclose customer information, we require our customers to provide necessary notices and obtain necessary permissions for the use and disclosure of such information. If they do not provide necessary notices or obtain necessary permissions, then our use and disclosure of information that we receive from them or on their behalf may be limited or prohibited by federal or state privacy or other laws. Such failures by our customers could impair our functions, processes and databases that reflect, contain or are based upon such information. Furthermore, such failures by our customers could interfere with or prevent creation or use of analyses or other data-driven activities that benefit us, or make our solutions less useful. Accordingly, we may be subject to claims or liability for inaccurate data. These claims or liabilities could damage our reputation, subject us to unexpected costs and could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Additionally, in recent years, consumer advocates, media and elected officials increasingly and publicly have criticized companies in data focused industries regarding the collection, storage and use of personal data. Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure or security of personal information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

It is difficult to predict the sales cycle and implementation schedule for our products and services.

The duration of the sales cycle and implementation schedule for our products and services depends on a number of factors, including the nature and size of the potential client and the extent of the commitment being made by the potential client, all of which may be difficult to predict. Our sales and marketing efforts with respect to hospitals and large health organizations generally involve a lengthy sales cycle due to these organizations’ complex decision-making processes. Additionally, in light of increased government involvement in healthcare and related changes in the operating environment for healthcare organizations, our current and potential clients may react by reducing or deferring investments, including their purchases of our solutions or services. If clients take longer than we expect to decide whether to purchase our solutions, our revenues could decrease, which could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our independent content providers may fail to perform adequately or comply with laws, regulations or contractual covenants.

We depend on some independent content providers for the development of health education and other scientific content resources. Our ability to rely on these services could be impaired as a result of the failure of such providers to comply with applicable laws, regulations and contractual covenants or as a result of events affecting such providers, such as power loss, telecommunication failures, software or hardware errors, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems, fire, flood and natural disasters. Any such failure or event could adversely affect our relationships with our clients and damage our reputation. This could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results. We depend on our content providers to deliver high quality content from reliable sources and to continually upgrade their content in response to demand and evolving regulations. If these parties fail to develop and maintain high quality, attractive content, the value of our brand and our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely impacted.

We may be liable for use of content we provide.

If any of the content that we provide to our customers, including content we generate as a result of our grant writing services, is incorrect or incomplete, it may give rise to claims against us. While we maintain insurance coverage in an amount that we believe is sufficient for our business, we cannot provide assurance that this coverage will prove to be adequate or will continue to be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A claim that is brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results. Even unsuccessful claims could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources.

Our financial results may be adversely affected if we underprice our contracts, overrun our cost estimates or fail to receive approval for or experience delays in documenting change orders.

Most of our grant writing service contracts are either fee for service contracts or fixed-fee contracts. Our past financial results have been, and our future financial results may be, adversely impacted if we initially underprice our contracts or otherwise overrun our cost estimates and are unable to successfully negotiate a change order. Change orders typically occur when the scope of work we perform needs to be modified from that originally contemplated by our contract with the client. Where we are not successful in converting out-of-scope work into change orders under our current contracts, we will bear the cost of the additional work. Such underpricing, significant cost overruns or delay in documentation of change orders could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

As we develop new services and clients, enter new lines of business, and focus more of our business on providing a full range of talent solutions, the demands on our business and our operating risks may increase.

As part of our strategy, we plan to extend our services. As we focus on developing new services, capabilities and clients, and engage in business in new geographic locations, our operations may be exposed to additional as well as enhanced risks. In particular, our growth efforts may place substantial additional demands on our management and other team members, as well as on our information, financial, administrative, compliance and operational systems. We may not be able to manage these demands successfully. Growth may require increased recruiting efforts, increased regulatory and compliance efforts, increased business development, selling, marketing and other actions that are expensive and entail increased risk. We may need to invest more in our people and systems, controls, compliance efforts, policies and procedures than we anticipate. As our business continues to evolve and we provide a wider range of services, we will become increasingly dependent upon our employees. Failure to identify, hire, train and retain talented employees who share our values could have a negative effect on our reputation and our business. The demands that our current and future growth place on our people and systems, controls, compliance efforts, policies and procedures may exceed the benefits of such growth, and our operating results may suffer, at least in the short-term, and perhaps in the long-term.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

Many healthcare provider organizations are consolidating to create integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. As provider networks and managed care organizations consolidate, thus decreasing the number of market participants, competition to provide products and services like ours will become more intense, and the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships with key industry participants will increase. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. Any of these factors could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

If we do not continue to recruit and retain sufficient quality healthcare professionals at reasonable costs, it could increase our operating costs and negatively affect our business and our profitability.

We rely significantly on our ability to recruit and retain a sufficient number of healthcare professionals who possess the skills, experience and licenses necessary to meet the requirements of our clients. With clinician burnout rates continuing to rise, an ongoing shortage of certain qualified nurses and physicians in many areas of the United States and low unemployment rates for nurses and physicians, competition for the hiring of these professionals remains intense. Our ability to recruit temporary and permanent healthcare professionals may be exacerbated by continued low levels of unemployment.

We compete with healthcare staffing companies, recruitment and placement agencies, including online staffing and recruitment agencies, and with hospitals, healthcare facilities and physician practice groups to attract healthcare professionals based on the quantity, diversity and quality of assignments offered, compensation packages, the benefits that we provide and speed and quality of our service.

The costs of recruiting quality healthcare professionals and providing them with competitive compensation packages may be higher than we anticipate, or we may be unable to pass these costs on to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, which may reduce our profitability. Moreover, if we are unable to recruit temporary and permanent healthcare professionals, our service execution may deteriorate and, as a result, we could lose clients or not meet our service level agreements with these clients that have negative financial repercussions.

The ability of our clients to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their staffing management and recruiting efforts may affect the demand for our services that could negatively affect our business.

If our clients are able to increase the effectiveness of their staffing and recruitment functions, their need for our services may decline. With the advent of technology and more sophisticated staffing management and recruitment processes, including internal “travel” and other healthcare staffing models, clients may be able to successfully increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their internal staffing management and recruiting efforts, through more effective planning and analytic tools, internet- or social media-based recruiting or otherwise. Such new technologies and processes could reduce the demand for our services, which could negatively affect our business.

Our work with government clients exposes us to additional risks inherent in the government contracting environment.

Our clients may include national, provincial, state, local and foreign governmental entities and their agencies. Our government work carries various risks inherent in contracting with government entities. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

The occurrences or conditions described above could affect not only our business with the particular government entities involved, but also our business with other entities of the same or other governmental bodies or with certain commercial clients and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be a party to legal, regulatory and other proceedings that could result in unexpected adverse outcomes.

From time to time, we may be a party to legal and regulatory proceedings and investigations, including matters involving governmental agencies and entities with which we do business and other proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, there are an increasing number of, and we may be subject to, investigations and proceedings in the healthcare industry generally that seek recovery under the HIPAA, Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, the Civil Money Penalty, the Stark Law, the Sunshine Act, state laws and other statutes and regulations applicable to our business. We also may be subject to legal proceedings under non-healthcare federal, and state laws affecting our business, such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act, Junk Fax Prevention Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, employment, banking and financial services and USPS laws and regulations. Such proceedings are inherently unpredictable, and the outcome can result in verdicts and/or injunctive relief that may affect how we operate our business or we may enter into settlements of claims for monetary payments. In some cases, substantial non-economic remedies or punitive damages may be sought. Governmental investigations, audits and other reviews could also result in criminal penalties or other sanctions, including restrictions, changes in the way we conduct business or exclusion from participation in government programs. We evaluate our exposure to these legal and regulatory proceedings and intend to establish reserves for the estimated liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as necessary. Assessing and predicting the outcome of these matters involves substantial uncertainties. Unexpected outcomes in these legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluations or predictions and accompanying changes in established reserves, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Litigation is costly, time-consuming and disruptive to normal business operations. The defense of these matters could also result in continued diversion of our management’s time and attention away from business operations, which could also harm our business. Even if these matters are resolved in our favor, the uncertainty and expense associated with unresolved legal proceedings could harm our business and reputation.

We may be liable for the misdiagnoses, mistreatment, injury or other harm to patients resulting from the use of data that we provide to health care providers, and any resulting claims could negatively impact our operating results and result in a decline in our stock price.

We provide, and facilitate providing, information for use by health care providers in treating patients. If this data is incorrect or incomplete, the patient could be misdiagnosed or mistreated resulting in adverse consequences, including death, giving rise to claims against us. In addition, certain of our solutions relate to patient health information, and a court or government agency may take the position that our delivery of this information exposes us to personal injury liability or other liability for wrongful delivery or handling of health care services or erroneous health information. While we maintain liability insurance coverage in an amount that we believe is sufficient for the risks associated with our business, we cannot assure you that this coverage will prove to be adequate or will continue to be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even unsuccessful claims could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

Our success depends in part on our ability to identify, recruit and retain skilled management and technical personnel. If we fail to recruit and retain suitable candidates or if our relationship with our employees changes or deteriorates, there could be a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We are highly dependent upon our personnel, including Deepika Vuppalanchi, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors, and Sandeep Allam, our President and Chairman. The loss of Dr. Vuppalanchi’s or Mr. Allam’s services could impede the achievement of our business objectives. We have not obtained, do not own, nor are we the beneficiary of, key-person life insurance. Furthermore, our future success depends upon our continuing ability to identify, attract, hire and retain highly qualified personnel, including skilled management and scientific personnel, all of whom are in high demand and are often subject to competing offers. Competition for qualified personnel in the healthcare services industry is intense, and we may not be able to hire or retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel to meet our requirements, or be able to do so at salary, benefit and other compensation costs that are acceptable to us. A loss of a substantial number of key or qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for expansion of our business, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our ability to utilize loss carry forwards may be limited.

We have incurred net operating losses (“NOLs”) during our history. To the extent that we continue to generate taxable losses, unused losses will carry forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused losses expire (if at all).

Federal NOLs incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the five tax years preceding such loss, and NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2020 may not be carried back. Moreover, federal NOLs generated in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOLs may be limited to 80% of our taxable income annually for tax years beginning after December 31, 2020. Our NOL carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and state tax authorities. In addition, in general, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs or tax credits to offset future taxable income or taxes. For these purposes, an ownership change generally occurs where the aggregate stock ownership of one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of a corporation’s stock increases their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a specified testing period. Our existing NOLs or credits may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes and ownership changes as a result of this offering, which may further limit our ability to utilize NOLs or credits under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. In addition, future changes in our stock ownership, many of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. Our NOLs or credits may also be impaired under state law. Accordingly, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of our NOLs or credits. If we were to determine that an ownership change has occurred and our ability to use our historical NOLs or credits is materially limited, it would harm our future operating results by effectively increasing our future tax obligations. Section 382 and 383 of the Code would apply to all net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, whether the carryforward period is indefinite or not.

Unanticipated changes in tax laws may affect future financial results.

Syra is a U.S. corporation and thus subject to U.S. corporate income tax on its worldwide operations. Our principal operations and certain potential customers are located in the United States, and as a result, we are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local taxes. New U.S. laws and policies relating to taxes may have an adverse effect on our business and future profitability. Further, existing U.S. tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us.

In recent years, the federal government has made significant changes to U.S. tax laws, including through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into law, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15% minimum tax on global adjusted financial statement income, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases occurring after December 31, 2022. We may be subject to the new excise tax with respect to any redemptions of our stock. Further, the current administration had previously set forth several tax proposals that would, if enacted, make further significant changes to U.S. tax laws (including provisions enacted pursuant to the Tax Act). It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect. The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals and other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect our business and future profitability. Investors are urged to consult with their legal and tax advisors with respect to any such legislation and the potential tax consequences of holding our securities.

Our use and development of artificial intelligence products may result in reputational harm and liability.

We incorporate artificial intelligence in some of the products we offer. For example, some of our targeted education approaches include the utilization of artificial intelligence tools to provide real-time information to customers, and we intend to offer an artificial intelligence chatbot to facilitate and provide end-to-end query resolution for patients. The field of artificial intelligence is rapidly developing, both technologically and from a regulatory and legal standpoint. As we incorporate this technology into our products, we may experience unexpected outcomes or impacts related to the technology, creating reputational, legal and regulatory risks.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

The protection of our intellectual property requires substantial resources and protections of our proprietary rights may not be adequate.

We rely or intend to rely upon a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, patents, license agreements, confidentiality procedures, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures designed to protect the intellectual property used in our business. The steps we have taken to protect and enforce our proprietary rights and intellectual property may not be adequate. For instance, our agreements with employees, consultants and others who develop intellectual property for or on behalf of us could be breached and could result in our trade secrets and confidential information being publicly disclosed. We may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Third parties also may infringe upon or misappropriate our intellectual property rights. If we believe a third party has misappropriated our intellectual property, litigation may be necessary to enforce and protect those rights, which would divert management resources, could be expensive and may not effectively protect our intellectual property. Even if we establish infringement, a court may decide not to grant an injunction against further infringing activity and instead award only monetary damages, which may or may not be an adequate remedy. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during litigation. There could also be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of shares of our common stock. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient financial or other resources to file and pursue such infringement claims. Even if we ultimately prevail in such claims, the monetary cost of such litigation and the diversion of the attention of our management and scientific personnel could outweigh any benefit we receive as a result of the proceedings. As a result, if we fail to maintain adequate intellectual property protection or if a third party infringes or misappropriates our intellectual property, it may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Many of our products are based on or incorporate proprietary information. We actively seek to protect our proprietary information, including our trade secrets and proprietary know-how, by generally requiring our employees, consultants, other advisors and other third parties to execute agreements that contain confidentiality provisions. Despite these efforts and precautions, we may be unable to prevent a third party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using our trade secrets or our other intellectual property without authorization and legal remedies may not adequately compensate us for the damages caused by such unauthorized use.

In addition, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop products or services that are equivalent or superior to our solutions.

We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information of third parties.

We have received confidential and proprietary information from third parties. In addition, we may employ individuals who were previously employed at other healthcare services companies. We may be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise improperly used or disclosed confidential information of these third parties or our employees’ former employers. Further, we may be subject to ownership disputes in the future arising, for example, from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are involved in developing our solutions. We may also be subject to claims that former employees, consultants, independent contractors or other third parties have an ownership interest in our intellectual property. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging our right to and use of confidential and proprietary information. In addition to paying monetary damages, if we fail in defending against any such claims we may lose our rights therein, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial cost and be a distraction to our management and employees.

We depend on a small number of large customers and the loss of one or more major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (“FSSA”) accounted for approximately 98.0% and 96.7% of our revenues and 88.3% and 97.1% of our accounts receivable, respectively, as due from the combined divisions (NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Division of Mental Health and Addiction) of the FSSA. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, FSSA accounted for approximately 97.7% and 98.3% of our revenues and 98.8% and 91.9% of our accounts receivable, respectively, as due from the combined divisions (NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Division of Mental Health and Addiction) of the FSSA. It is possible that any of our large customers could decide to terminate their relationship with us in the future. The loss of one or both of our top customers, or a substantial decrease in demand by any of those customers for our services and solutions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Government Regulations

We are subject to federal and state healthcare industry regulation including conduct of operations, costs and payment for services and payment for referrals as well as laws regarding government contracting.

The healthcare industry is subject to extensive and complex federal and state laws and regulations related to conduct of operations, costs and payment for services and payment for referrals. We provide talent solutions on a contract basis to our clients, who pay us directly. Accordingly, Medicare, Medicaid and insurance reimbursement policy changes generally do not directly impact us. Nevertheless, reimbursement changes in government programs, particularly Medicare and Medicaid, can and do indirectly affect the demand and the prices paid for our services. For example, our clients could receive reduced or no reimbursements because of a change in the rates or conditions set by federal or state governments that would negatively affect the demand and the prices for our services. Moreover, our hospital, healthcare facility and physician practice group clients could suffer civil and criminal penalties, and be excluded from participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs for failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations that may negatively affect our profitability.

A portion of our hospital and healthcare facility clients are state and federal government agencies, where our ability to compete for new contracts and orders, and the profitability of these contracts and orders, may be affected by government legislation, regulation or policy. Additionally, in providing services to state and federal government clients and to clients who participate in state and federal programs, we are also subject to specific laws and regulations, which government agencies have broad latitude to enforce. If we were to be excluded from participation in these programs or should there be regulatory or policy changes or modification of application of existing regulations adverse to us, it would likely materially adversely affect our brand, business, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to this Offering and Our Class A Common Stock

No active trading market for our Class A common stock currently exists, and an active trading market may not develop.

Prior to this offering, there has not been an active trading market for our Class A common stock. If an active trading market for our Class A common stock does not develop following this offering, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the market price. Our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares of our Class A common stock and our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using shares of our Class A common stock as consideration may also be impaired. The initial public offering price of our Class A common stock has been determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of the market prices of our Class A common stock that will prevail in the trading market.

Nasdaq may delist our Class A common stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our Class A common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We have been approved to have our Class A common stock listed on Nasdaq on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. However, we cannot assure you that our Class A common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the future. In order to continue listing our Class A common stock on Nasdaq, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels and must maintain a minimum number of holders of our Class A common stock.

If Nasdaq delists our Class A common stock and we are not able to list our Class A common stock on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:

The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our Class A common stock in this offering.

The market price of our Class A common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our Class A common stock will trade. In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. If there is extreme market volatility and trading patterns in our Class A common stock, it may create several risks for investors, including the following:

Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may negatively affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, shares of our Class A common stock may be more thinly traded than securities of larger, more established healthcare services companies and, as a result of this lack of liquidity, sales of relatively small quantities of shares of our Class A common stock by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of our Class A common stock. The market price of our Class A common stock may decline below the initial public offering price, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Unstable market and economic conditions and adverse developments with respect to financial institutions and associated liquidity risk may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and stock price.

The global credit and financial markets have recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, inflationary pressure and interest rate changes, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. The financial markets and the global economy may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, terrorism or other geopolitical events. Sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in response to such conflicts, including the one in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. More recently, the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and their placement into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk and concerns. Although the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC jointly confirmed that depositors at SVB and Signature Bank would continue to have access to their funds, even those in excess of the standard FDIC insurance limits, under a systemic risk exception, future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may lead to market-wide liquidity shortages, impair the ability of companies to access near-term working capital needs, and create additional market and economic uncertainty. There can be no assurance that future credit and financial market instability and a deterioration in confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, liquidity shortages, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, or if adverse developments are experienced by financial institutions, it may cause short-term liquidity risk and also make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon our business plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current clients, financial institutions or other third parties with whom we do business may be adversely affected by the foregoing risks, which may have an adverse effect on our business.

The dual-class structure of our common stock as contained in our Certificate of Incorporation has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who held our Class B common stock prior to this offering. This ownership will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transactions requiring stockholder approval, and that may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock.

Our Class B common stock has 16.5 votes per share, and our Class A common stock, which is the stock we are selling in this offering, has one vote per share. As of September 28, 2023, there were 833,334 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding, representing 79.6% of our total voting securities outstanding. Following this offering, holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Class B common stock will own 833,334 shares of Class B common stock representing approximately 71.1% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock following this offering, assuming the conversion of all outstanding notes into an aggregate of 446,206 shares of our Class A common stock and no exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Such Class B holders shall continue to have voting control until they hold under 50.1% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, or approximately 587,250 shares of Class B common stock, after the completion of this offering. In addition, because of the 16.5-to-1 voting ratio between our Class B common stock and Class A common stock, the holders of our Class B common stock could continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock and therefore control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval until converted by our Class B common stockholders. This concentrated control may limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transactions requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this concentrated control may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of our stockholders. As a result, such concentrated control may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

Future transfers by holders of Class B common stock will generally result in those shares converting to Class A common stock, subject to limited exceptions as specified in our Certificate of Incorporation, such as transfers to family members and certain transfers effected for estate planning purposes.

We cannot predict the effect our dual-class structure may have on the market price of our Class A common stock.

We cannot predict whether our dual-class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common stock, adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced and implemented restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indices. In July 2017, FTSE Russell announced that it would require new constituents of its indices to have greater than 5% of the company’s voting rights (aggregated across all of its equity securities, including those that are not listed or trading) in the hands of public stockholders. Pursuant to the FTSE Russell, this 5% minimum voting rights requirement only applies to companies assigned a Developed market nationality within the FTSE Equity Country Classification scheme, and, based upon the FTSE Equity Country Classification Interim Announcement published on March 30, 2023, the United States is assigned a Developed market nationality within the FTSE. In addition, in July 2017, the S&P Dow Jones announced that it would no longer admit companies with multiple-class share structures to certain of its indices; however, in October 2022, the S&P Dow Jones announced that it was conducting a consultation with market participants on the multiple share class eligibility methodology requirement via a survey that closed on December 15, 2022. Subsequently, the S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that, effective as of April 17, 2023, companies with multiple share class structures will be considered eligible for the S&P Composite 1500 and its component indices, including the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400 and the S&P SmallCap 600, if they meet all other eligibility criteria. Also in 2017, MSCI, a leading stock index provider, opened public consultations on its treatment of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily barred new multi-class listings from certain of its indices; however, in October 2018, MSCI announced its decision to include equity securities “with unequal voting structures” in its indices. Additionally, MSCI announced that the securities of companies exhibiting unequal voting structures will be eligible for addition to the MSCI ACWI IMI and other relevant indexes effective March 1, 2019. Currently, MSCI offers the MSCI World Voting Rights-Adjusted Index. This index specifically includes voting rights in the weighting criteria and construction methodology and aims to better align constituent weights with economic rights and voting power, while continuing to represent the performance of a broad opportunity set. The dual-class structure of our common stock may make us ineligible for inclusion in certain indices and, as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track those indices would not invest in our Class A common stock. In addition, it is unclear what effect, if any, such policies will have on the valuations of publicly-traded companies excluded from such indices, but it is possible that they may adversely affect valuations, as compared to similar companies that are included. Due to the dual-class structure of our common stock, we may be excluded from certain indices and we cannot assure you that other stock indices (including Nasdaq) will not take similar actions. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from certain stock indices may preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our Class A common stock less attractive to other investors. As a result, the market price of our Class A common stock may be adversely affected.

The Warrants may not have value.

The Warrants being offered by us in this offering have an exercise price of $6.50 per share, and expire on the fifth anniversary from the date of issuance. In the event that our Class A common stock does not exceed the exercise price of the Warrants during the period when such Warrants are exercisable, such Warrants may not have any value.

Holders of our Warrants will have no rights as stockholders until they acquire shares of our Class A common stock, if ever.

If you acquire Warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in this offering, you will have no rights with respect to our Class A common stock until you acquire shares of such Class A common stock upon exercise of your Warrants. Upon exercise of your Warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of Class A common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

There is no public market for the Warrants being offered by us in this offering and an active trading market for the Warrants is not expected to develop.

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for any listing of the Warrants offered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants may be severely limited.

Our principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over the election of our board of directors and approval of any significant corporate actions, including any sale of the Company.

Deepika Vuppalanchi, our Chief Executive Officer, Sandeep Allam, our Chairman and President and Priya Prasad, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, in the aggregate, beneficially own 79.0% of our Class B common stock and will beneficially own 56.2% of our outstanding voting securities after this offering. These stockholders currently have, and likely will continue to have, significant influence with respect to the election of our board of directors and approval or disapproval of all significant corporate actions. The concentrated voting power of these stockholders could have the effect of delaying or preventing an acquisition of the Company or another significant corporate transaction.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this initial public offering, including for any of the currently intended purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.” Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management may not apply our cash from this offering in ways that ultimately increases the value of any investment in our securities or enhances stockholder value. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and government securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply our cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which may result in a decline in the price of our shares of Class A common stock, and, therefore, may negatively impact our ability to raise capital, invest in or expand our business, acquire products or licenses, commercialize our products and services, or continue our operations.

We could be subject to securities class action litigation.

In the past, securities class action litigation has been brought against companies following a decline in the market price of their securities. This risk is especially relevant for us because healthcare companies have experienced significant share price volatility in recent years. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, and you must rely on price appreciation of your shares of Class A common stock for return on your investment.

We have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

As our initial public offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

If you purchase Units in this offering, you will pay more for your shares of Class A common stock than the amount paid by our existing stockholders for their shares on a per share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share in relation to the price that you paid for your shares. The dilution as a result of the offering will be $3.40 per share to new investors purchasing our Units in this offering. In addition, you will experience further dilution to the extent that we issue shares of our Class A common stock upon the exercise of any warrants, including the Warrants issued in this offering, or exercise of stock options under any stock incentive plans. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our shares will be diluted upon completion of this offering.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, and particularly after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur previously. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on U.S. reporting public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which in turn could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified senior management personnel or members for our board of directors. In addition, these rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will be required to furnish a report by our senior management on our internal control over financial reporting.

While we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To prepare for eventual compliance with Section 404, once we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we will be engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that we will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed timeframe or at all, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls could cause our investors to lose confidence in us and adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. If our internal controls are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports in a timely manner. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, our management has identified a material weakness. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that it is reasonably possible that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, our management has identified the following material weakness: a lack of formal policy or written procedures for the approval, identification and reporting of related-party transactions; lack of formal executed agreements, policies and procedures which are not yet adequately documented; insufficient experience with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) regarding complex transactions and reporting, and insufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and levels of oversight. While we intend to take steps to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting by adopting a formal policy or written procedures for the approval, identification and reporting of related-party transactions, providing written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures and adding staff members with requisite accounting experience at such time that adequate resources are available to us to remediate such weakness, we may not be successful in remediating such weakness in a timely manner, if at all, which may undermine our ability to provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial and operating results. Furthermore, if we remediate our current material weakness but identify new material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Class A common stock may be negatively affected. As a result of such failures, we could also become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm our reputation, financial condition or divert financial and management resources from our core business.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) to be effective upon the closing of this offering, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws to be effective upon the closing of this offering and Delaware law contain or will contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include or will include provisions:

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.

Any provision of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws to be effective upon closing of this offering or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Class A common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees.

Our Certificate of Incorporation requires that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for each of the following:

except for, as to each of the above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction.

The exclusive forum provision is limited to the extent permitted by law, and it will not apply to claims arising under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or for any other federal securities laws which provide for exclusive or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock are deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision.

Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring such a claim arising under the Securities Act against us, our directors, officers, or other employees in a venue other than in the federal district courts of the United States of America. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation.

Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, this provision may limit or discourage a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, and may result in increased costs to our stockholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

General Risk Factors

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for the shares and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our Class A common stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Class A common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our Class A common stock to decline.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we 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 stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (2) 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 may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We may, in the future, elect not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, may be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class A common less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A common and our share price may be more volatile.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

This prospectus contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. We obtained the industry and market data in this prospectus from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including those discussed in “Risk Factors.” We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions, and estimates. Further, industry and general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that these publications, studies, and surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results and estimates have not been verified by any independent source.

TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS AND TRADENAMES

We may own or have rights to use a number of registered and common law trademarks, service marks and/or trade names in connection with our business in the United States and/or in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks, logos and trade names referred to in this prospectus are without the ® and ™ symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to these trademarks, service marks and trade names. This prospectus contains additional trademarks, service marks and trade names of others, which are the property of their respective owners. All trademarks, service marks and trade names appearing in this prospectus are, to our knowledge, the property of their respective owners. We do not intend our use or display of other companies’ trademarks, service marks, copyrights or trade names to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, any other companies.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of Units in this offering will be approximately $5.03 million, based on an initial public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, we estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $5.94 million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use approximately $2.5 million for marketing and sales, approximately $1 million for application development, approximately $250,000 for research and development and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. In the ordinary course of our business, we expect to, from time to time, evaluate the acquisition of, investment in or in-license of complementary products, technologies or businesses, and we could use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering for such activities; however, we currently do not have any agreements, arrangements, or commitments with respect to any potential acquisition, investment or license.

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash represents our intentions based upon our current plans, financial condition and business conditions. Predicting the cost necessary to develop our products and services can be difficult and the amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash.

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments, and government securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our Class A common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and capitalization as of June 30, 2023:

The number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 3,527,092 shares of Class A common stock and 833,334 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023, and excludes:

DILUTION

If you invest in our Class A common stock, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between initial public offering price per share of our Class A common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock immediately after this offering.

As June 30, 2023, we had a historical net tangible book value of $(1,795,606), or $(0.41) per share of common stock, based on shares of our common stock outstanding at June 30, 2023. Our historical net tangible book value per share is the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities at June 30, 2023, divided by the number of shares of Class A and B common stock outstanding at June 30, 2023.

After giving effect to the conversion of $1,472,460 of principal and accrued interest on outstanding notes into an aggregate of 446,206 shares of Class A common stock upon the closing of this offering based upon an initial public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 was $(323,146), or $(0.07) per share of Class A and B common stock.

After giving further effect to the sale of 1,615,000 Units in this offering at an initial public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value at June 30, 2023 would have been $4,705,675, or $0.73 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.74 per share of common stock to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $3.40 per share of common stock to new investors purchasing securities in this offering.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

The number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 3,527,092 shares of Class A common stock and 833,334 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023, and excludes:

The following table summarizes, on the as adjusted basis described above, the total number of shares of Class A common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid or to be paid, and the average price per share paid or to be paid by existing stockholders and by new investors in this offering at an initial public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

⁽¹⁾ Includes 446,206 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of an aggregate of $1,472,460 of convertible notes including interest accrued thereon, 800,002 shares of Class A common stock issued for services rendered, the cancellation of 41,666 shares of Class A common stock in May 2023 and 833,334 shares of Class B common stock awarded as founders shares in consideration for services.

⁽²⁾ Consists of $2,322,500 of proceeds received from the sale of Class A common stock and $1,455,000 of proceeds received from the sale of convertible notes.

To the extent stock options are issued under our equity incentive plan or we issue additional common stock or common stock equivalents in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

Line of Credit

On February 7, 2022, we entered into a business loan agreement with Citizens State Bank of New Castle pursuant to which we originally received a revolving line of credit of up to $1,500,000, which was subsequently amended on May 22, 2023, and again on August 24, 2023, to $800,000.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

The following table summarizes selected items from the statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net Revenues

Net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was comprised of $870,132 of healthcare staffing services revenue and $109,116 of medical communication services revenue, compared to net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $1,087,013 of healthcare staffing services revenue and $105,637 of medical communication services revenue, a decrease of $213,402, or 18%. Net revenues decreased in 2023, due primarily to a temporary surge in personnel requirements at the NeuroDiagnostic Institute during the comparative period in 2022, as we helped to staff additional units at the hospital. We are now primarily staffing specific units that were part of the contract.

Cost of Services

Our cost of services included wages and related payroll taxes, employee benefits and certain other employee-related costs of our contract service employees while they worked on contract assignments. We incurred $851,089 of cost of services for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1,083,084 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $231,995, or 21%. Our gross profit was approximately 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately 4%. Our cost of services decreased primarily due to decreased labor necessary to support our decreased sales in 2023, while our gross margins increased due to improved pricing.

Operating Expenses

Salaries and Benefits

Our salaries and benefits included wages and related payroll taxes, employee benefits and certain other employee-related costs of our management and office personnel. We incurred $562,619 of salaries and benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $343,964 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $218,655, or 64%. Salaries and benefits increased in 2023 as we supported our increased operations and added office personnel to support our initial public offering (“IPO”) process.

Professional Fees

Professional fees primarily consisted of expenses incurred from business development, accounting, legal fees, and consulting activities. We incurred $128,844 of professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $218,404 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $89,560, or 41%. Professional fees decreased in 2023 due to decreased reliance on outsourced professionals in the current period, as we heavily relied on outsourced professionals in our prior period when we audited our financial statements and prepared for our IPO.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) primarily consisted of marketing, rent, office, insurance, travel and repair and maintenance expenses incurred. We incurred $208,357 of SG&A expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $168,474 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $39,883, or 24%. Our SG&A expenses increased primarily due to our increased operations in 2023. SG&A included $32,131 and $26,753 of rent incurred from STVentures, LLC, an entity beneficially owned by our principal owners, our management team and their affiliates, $38,859 and $23,083 of office and computer supplies, $55,739 and $16,731 of insurance and $0 and $11,263 of repairs and maintenance for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Depreciation

We incurred $12,293 of depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $596 of depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $11,697, or 1,963%. Depreciation expense increased as we expanded our office space and placed additional office equipment into service during 2022. We expect depreciation to increase in future periods, as we expanded our office space and incurred significant leasehold improvement costs during 2022.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense, on a net basis, consisted of $18,850 of interest incurred on a line of credit and convertible notes outstanding in 2023, as partially offset by $4 of interest income, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Other expense consisted of $5,556 of interest incurred on a line of credit and convertible notes, as partially offset by $19 of interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Other expense, on a net basis, increased by $13,309, or 240%, primarily due to increased debt financing.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $802,800, compared to a net loss of $627,409 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $175,391, or 28%. Net loss increased primarily due to increased labor costs as we increased operations.

Our gross profit was approximately 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately 4%. Our cost of services increased primarily due to increased labor necessary to support our increased sales in 2023, while our gross margins declined due to continued inflationary pressures in 2023, as we had to pay higher labor rates to attract and retain qualified personnel. To the extent possible, we intend to factor these considerations into our new and existing contracts to improve our margins.

Operating Expenses

SG&A included $64,263 and $42,749 of rent incurred from STVentures, LLC, an entity beneficially owned by our principal owners, our management team and their affiliates, $93,928 and $27,191 of office and computer supplies, $103,180 and $27,191 of insurance and $3,320 and $19,357 of repairs and maintenance for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net loss increased primarily due to costs incurred as we prepared for our IPO, including $510,000 of stock-based compensation paid to consultants in shares of our common stock in lieu of cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, along with cash expected to be generated from sales and services, will not be sufficient to fund our operations, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital and other financing requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In the event we are unable to achieve profitable operations in the near term, we may require additional equity and/or debt financing; however, we cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. We will continue to monitor our expenditures and cash flow position.

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities, accumulated deficit and working capital (deficit) at June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. To date, we have funded our operations through equity and debt financings. Our primary uses of cash have been for the development of operations, compensation, and professional fees. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing our business and establishing our healthcare staffing and medical communication services. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

Line of Credit

On February 7, 2022, we entered into a business loan agreement (as amended, the “loan agreement”) with Citizens State Bank of New Castle pursuant to which we originally received a revolving line of credit of up to $1,500,000, which was subsequently amended to $800,000 (as amended, the “Revolving Line of Credit”). Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Line of Credit, the outstanding balance shall not exceed 75% of our accounts receivable due from the State of Indiana as aged more than 90 days together with all other accounts receivable aged less than 90 days. The Revolving Line of Credit was to terminate on December 31, 2022, unless extended pursuant to the terms thereof. We received extensions on the Revolving Line of Credit such that it will now terminate on October 24, 2023; however, no further advances are available under the Revolving Line of Credit. In the event of a default, all commitments and obligations pursuant to the Revolving Line of Credit will terminate immediately and, at Citizens State Bank of New Castle’s request, all Indebtedness (as defined in the business loan agreement) shall become immediately due and payable. Advances on the Revolving Line of Credit are pursuant to a promissory note dated February 7, 2022, which accrues interest at a variable rate of 1.5% above the national prime interest rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal, not to be less than 4.75% per annum or more than 21% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest shall increase by an 2.0% in the event of a default. Pursuant to the promissory note, we have been required to pay monthly payments of unpaid interest since March 7, 2022. We may prepay all or a portion of the amount due prior to the date upon which it is due without any penalty. In connection with the Revolving Line of Credit, we entered into a commercial security agreement with Citizens State Bank of New Castle dated February 7, 2022, pursuant to which we granted Citizens State Bank of New Castle a security interest in all of our assets to secure the Indebtedness. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit was $300,154 and $750,551, respectively.

Convertible Notes Payable

On various dates from January through April 2023, we entered into subscription agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which we issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,455,000. The notes mature on various dates between July 10, 2024 and October 7, 2024, accrue interest at 2% per annum and may be prepaid by us at any time without any penalties. The holders may convert the principal amount of the notes together with accrued interest thereon at any time prior to the earlier of the maturity date and the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering at a conversion price of $6.00 per share. Upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing (as defined herein), the principal amount of the notes together with accrued interest thereon shall automatically convert into such number of shares of our Class A common stock determined by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of the notes on the date of conversion by (y) the price per share equal to the product of the price per Equity Security (as defined in the notes) sold in the Next Equity Financing multiplied by 80%. In addition, if prior to the maturity date of the notes, the notes remains outstanding, then in the event of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the notes), the holder of each note may elect to convert the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of each note, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the note, into Conversion Shares (as defined in the notes) immediately prior to the closing of such Corporate Transaction based upon a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the Corporate Transaction Price (as defined in the notes) or (ii) the quotient resulting from dividing (x) the Valuation Cap (as defined in the notes) by (y) the fully diluted capitalization immediately prior to the closing of the Corporate Transactions. “Next Equity Financing” means an initial public offering by us of our Equity Securities pursuant to which such Equity Securities are listed on a national securities exchange.

Common Stock Sales

In March 2022, we sold an aggregate of 1,666,662 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $0.60 per share for gross proceeds of $1 million. In addition, from June to August 2022 we sold an aggregate of 1,102,094 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $1.20 per share for gross proceeds of $1,322,500.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

The critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our financial statements are described below.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 28, 2023, we effectuated a 1-for-1.2 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock and common stock equivalents. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock and common stock equivalents and per share data have been adjusted in this prospectus, on a retrospective basis, to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. Neither the authorized shares of common stock, nor the par value of the common stock were adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. We had an allowance of $5,520 and $4,533 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. No allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at December 31, 2021.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” all long-lived assets such as property and equipment held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

Leases

We account for our leases under ASC 842 - Leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on our balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, adjusted by the deferred rent liabilities at the adoption date. As our lease does not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation.

We account for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

We have two main forms of revenue – healthcare staffing revenue and medical communication revenue. We primarily provide healthcare staffing services to state mental health agencies, and our medical communication revenue is primarily comprised of contracted data analysis and medical writing services to state agencies and universities. Healthcare staffing and medical communication revenue are both accounted for as a single performance obligation satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our performance on an hourly or daily basis. The contracts stipulate bi-weekly or monthly billing, and we have elected the “as invoiced” practical expedient to recognize revenue based on the hours incurred at the contractual rate as we have the right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of performance completed to date. The medical communication contracts also contain certain additional performance obligations that contain single performance obligations that are satisfied when services are rendered. We may also be subject to penalties for violations of certain ethical standards and non-performance measures within these state contracts. We recognize revenue net of penalties. Revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was comprised of $1,982,702 and $1,918,688 of healthcare staffing services revenue and $184,897 and $219,311 of medical communication services revenue, respectively. Revenue during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was comprised of $5,261,870 and $1,245,413 of healthcare staffing services revenue and $355,836 and $164,563 of medical communication services revenue, respectively.

Significant Concentrations

The majority of accounts receivable and revenue contracts are between our Company and different divisions within the FSSA. Most contracts require monthly payments as the projects progress. We generally do not require collateral or advance payments. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, FSSA accounted for approximately 98.0% and 96.7% of our revenues and 88.3% and 97.1% of our accounts receivable, respectively, as due from the combined divisions (NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Division of Mental Health and Addiction) of the FSSA. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, FSSA accounted for approximately 97.7% and 98.3% of our revenues and 98.8% and 91.9% of our accounts receivable, respectively, as due from the combined divisions (NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Division of Mental Health and Addiction) of the FSSA.

Recent Accounting Standards

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02, amendments related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) for all entities after they adopt 2016-13 and amendments related to vintage disclosures that affect public business entities with investments in financing receivables, under Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs in Subtopic 310-40. The effective dates for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective dates in update 2016-13. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on adoption of this ASU on our financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We have elected the early adoption of ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans, and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance also requires increased disclosures. The amendments contained in ASU 2016-13 were originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years for our Company. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 which delayed the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. We meet the definition of a smaller reporting company and are adopting the deferral period for ASU 2016-13. The guidance requires a modified retrospective transition approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our financial statements but do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of this offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

Our Services

Health Education Services

We believe that one of the main drivers of the healthcare education solutions market is the need to address challenges in the healthcare industry through effective and innovative medical and scientific training. With evolving healthcare technology, healthcare professionals must be knowledgeable with respect to various patient-care approaches to make better informed clinical decisions and assure patient satisfaction. We believe that targeted and continuous healthcare education solutions are needed to help healthcare professionals improve their competency, improve health equality and incorporate innovative and new therapeutic options into practice to improve overall patient care quality. Therefore, we aim to provide medical education solutions to pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, biotechnology companies, payers, large employers, academic institutions, and government agencies. Specifically, we develop medical education content to drive the organizational and strategic brand goals and vision of our clients. Our education outreach plan utilizes omnichannel delivery approaches from a suite of solutions for in-person, virtual and hybrid arrangements, and our deliverables include traditional print and electronic formats. Some of our targeted education approaches include the utilization of artificial intelligence tools to provide real-time information to customers.

Within our health education service line we offer the following services: medical communications, patient education, and healthcare training.

Medical Communications

We offer expertise in medical communications focused on developing scientific communications based on complex scientific and clinical data, novel therapies and drugs, disease guidelines and real-world perspectives on diseases and their current treatments. We provide pharmaceutical manufactures and medical devices and biotechnology companies with communications and marketing materials to help them better engage with patients and healthcare professionals.

We offer content development services in the following areas: disease state and product-specific education; value propositions; sales aides; advisory board meetings; conference coverage; and medical affairs resources.

On September 3, 2021, we entered into a professional services contract with the FSSA, Division of Mental Health and Addiction, as amended on April 25, 2023 (as amended, the “Mental Health Agreement”), pursuant to which we are coordinating the work of the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup and supporting data-driven decision-making regarding prevention efforts across state agencies and bodies. The Mental Health Agreement shall remain in effect until June 30, 2025, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms thereof. Pursuant to the Mental Health Agreement, we may receive up to approximately $1,246,000. The Mental Health Agreement may be terminated by the state, for, among other reasons, (i) a material breach of the Mental Health Agreement; (ii) failure by us to provide insurance required by the Mental Health Agreement; (iii) upon the occurrence of a default; (iv) if the Director of the State Budget Agency makes a written determination that funds are not appropriated or otherwise available to support continuation of performance of the Mental Health Agreement; or (v) for any reason if the state determines that such termination is in its best interest. We may terminate the Mental Health Agreement if the state, 60 days after receipt of written notice, fails to correct or cure any material breach of the Mental Health Agreement, and we may institute measures to collect monies due up to and including the date of termination. We generated $172,000, $306,000 and $132,000, or 8%, 5% and 9%, of our net revenues pursuant to the Mental Health Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Patient Education

We define patient education as the process of influencing patient behavior and attitudes and empowering patients with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain or improve their health. A key driver of the growth in patient education has been the increasing adoption of digital health technologies, preventative health, and holistic wellness awareness programs in the private and public sector.

We offer comprehensive patient education solutions and services to patients, provider groups, payers, health care institutions, and government health agencies to improve intrinsic health education which we believe will lead to increased patient satisfaction, positive experiences and better health outcomes. We develop evidence-based, compliant content, incorporating the principles of instructional designing models so that the learning experience resonates with people of all demographics, including those of varied backgrounds and age groups. We offer educational content in the following areas: disease education and management; preventative health and wellness; behavioral and mental health; and public health awareness and campaigns. Our educational content is adaptable for integration into any electronic health record, care management platform, and learning management system. We offer our educational materials in various formats including American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) compliant print and electronic resources (i.e. brochures, toolkits, reports), app-based outreach, health blog, microsites, social media content, infographics, email campaigns and video formats.

Healthcare Training

According to BMC Public Health, health disparities are linked to up to $135 billion in economic losses in the United States per year. We believe health equity will be achieved when all sections of the population have attained their full potential for health and well-being regardless of race, age, sex, health conditions, social position or other socially determined circumstances. To decrease health disparities and improve patient outcomes and satisfaction, we have a team of subject matter experts that create trainings for employees and staff of health organizations, pharmaceutical companies, payers, and large healthcare employers. We offer our trainings in a variety of formats including virtual and classroom training, e-learning trainings, videos, surveys, and online assessments coupled with metrics. Our comprehensive training toolkits include facilitator and discussion guides, work mats and other resources for training. We offer customized training programs in the following areas: health equity, cultural competency, social determinants of health, preventative health, workforce and sales training; behavioral and mental health; care coordination; and caregiver training.

Population Health Management

We define population health management as the process of assessing and analyzing healthcare and its delivery to create improvement for a population of individuals. We are developing end-to-end solutions and strategies to improve quality of care, access to care, health outcomes, and healthcare policies. We believe that our solutions will assist individuals in reaching their full health potential through preventative care, care coordination and patient engagement. Our team of service providers includes health economists, public health experts, subject matter experts, data scientists, and biostatisticians who apply advanced health analytics to real-world data to provide meaningful insights to improve quality of clinical care and understand patterns and trends around diagnosis, treatment and continued care. We believe our team helps stratify health risks based on social determinants of health, predict utilization of resources and health care costs, identify patient-level interventions and recommend population-level strategies.

Within our population health management service line we intend to offer the following services: analytics as a service, epidemiology and health equity analytics solutions. As of June 30, 2023, we have generated $5,386 of revenue from such services.

Analytics as a Service

We perform in-depth research and provide end-to-end high-quality analysis on health and healthcare data and derive insights that can be developed into strategic interventions. We develop predictive analytics on healthcare utilization and cost and test the effectiveness of care management programs. Overall, we conduct data analytics and develop solutions from a health equity lens to help improve health equality and access to care. Some of our analytical capabilities include: data collection, traditional to advanced analytics, predictive analytics, risk stratification, intervention analytics, spatial analytics gap analysis, analytics workforce public policy, and evidence-based research.

Epidemiology

Epidemiological solutions are a hallmark of our services.

Some of our services and solutions include: health risk stratification analytics and programs; health equity gap analysis and solutions; regional health equity dashboard; caregiver vulnerability mapping assessments health equity analysis; strategies to engage with community-based organizations; patient/member engagement; and care coordination improvements.

Behavioral and Mental Health

Mental health concerns are rapidly growing on a global scale, yet the shortage of mental health professionals and access to treatment is leaving millions of people without access to mental health resources. According to a Health Affairs report, almost half of all counties in the United States have zero psychiatrists, and according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 111 million people live in areas where there is a mental health professional shortage. Mental health issues are impacting all segments of the population, especially college students. According to the BestColleges.com survey, nearly half of all students believe that mental health issues have impacted their education and, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 9 in 10 students experienced negative mental health symptoms.

We strongly believe in behavioral and mental health equity and our mission is to provide solutions that help improve health care and provide access to all populations, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or geographic location. With our specialized services, we believe that we can help solve the behavioral and mental health needs of various organizations, including health organizations, large employers, and schools.

Behavioral and Mental Health Prevention & Telehealth App – Syrenity

Syrenity is intended to be a comprehensive telehealth application that is being developed by Syra, aimed at providing cutting-edge solutions for behavioral and mental health. With its evidence-based approach, Syrenity is being designed to identify and prevent the progression of negative factors that can influence individuals’ mental health, by offering targeted assignments, education, monitoring symptoms, and providing timely interventions.

We believe one of the key unique selling points of Syrenity will be its evidence-based approach. The app will utilize scientifically proven methods and techniques to assess and address behavioral and mental health concerns. Through a series of assessments, Syrenity will create a personalized profile for each user, which will serve as a starting point for developing targeted activities, education, and interventions. It is anticipated that the app will also generate reports and analytics on the user’s behavioral health.

Syrenity will enable users to connect with licensed mental health professionals through the telehealth and therapist matching features. Users can schedule virtual consultations with psychologists, psychiatrists, or mental health coaches, eliminating the need for in-person visits and providing convenient access to professional mental health care from the comfort of their own homes.

Engagement and interventions are crucial components of Syrenity, as the app is being designed to actively engage users in their mental health journey. Using innovative active and passive interventions such as gamification and personalized goal setting, we believe Syrenity will encourage users to actively participate in their mental health care. The app will also provide evidence-based interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques, to help individuals effectively manage their symptoms and improve their mental well-being.

We anticipate that Syrenity will utilize an artificial intelligence-driven user diary for engagement, and there will be provision for accessing a virtual coach 24/7. We anticipate that other features will include ADA accessibility, alerts and notifications, and access to community resources.

Education is also given a key importance in our telehealth solution, as it empowers users with knowledge about mental health and equips them with skills to manage their condition effectively. The app will provide educational resources, such as articles, videos, and interactive modules, to help users understand their mental health concerns and learn coping strategies. This knowledge will empower users to actively participate in their mental health care and make informed decisions about their well-being.

Overall, we believe Syrenity will stand out as a comprehensive and evidence-based digital health app that addresses behavioral and mental health concerns through targeted assignments, education, monitoring symptoms, and evidence-based interventions. We believe its unique features, including profile assessments, engagement and interventions, telehealth services, and education, will make it a powerful tool for individuals looking to improve their mental well-being and prevent the progression of negative factors influencing their mental health.

Growth Strategies

We hope to become a leader in clinical healthcare solutions by providing customized and comprehensive end-to-end solutions for our customers in the public and private healthcare sectors and expand our operations to other metropolitan areas. As we continue our expansion, we anticipate that our professional pool and infrastructure will grow to support the breadth and depth of our services. With our rapid growth of sales and business development teams, we intend to replicate our current projects with similar customers across the country. We plan to open offices in multiple geographical locations to support our sales and business development efforts and intend to invest in partnerships with subject matter experts to further enhance our service lines and provide real-world insights. In addition, we are developing in-house proposal teams to ensure appropriate opportunities across government agencies are timely tracked and quality proposals are submitted. In addition to organic efforts, we may expand our footprint by acquiring companies that offer similar service lines. It is anticipated that such companies will strengthen our current service offerings and may also include new services that we may offer to our clients.

Competition

We compete on the basis of the breadth and functionality of the solutions we offer on both an integrated and modular basis, the return on investment realized by our customers from our solutions, our value proposition and our pricing models. The principal competitive factors in attracting, retaining, and expanding business with healthcare customers nationally include: (i) understanding the customer’s work environment; (ii) offering a comprehensive suite of services; (iii) timely filling of customers’ needs; (iv) price; (v) customer service; (vi) quality assurance and screening capabilities; (vii) risk management policies; (viii) insurance coverage; and (ix) general industry reputation. We face competition from major healthcare consulting companies. Some of the companies we compete with include the following:

Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and have more expertise in providing services similar to our services. Mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare industry may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel. Earlier stage companies, such as startups, may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products and services that are more cost-effective and efficient than our products and services.

Government Regulations

Our business is heavily regulated. We are subject to oversight by governmental entities in the U.S., and a failure, or alleged failure, by us to comply with statutes, regulations, or other laws could have a material adverse impact to our business operations, reputation, results of operations and financial position.

Government Contracts: Our contracts with government entities typically are subject to procurement laws that include socio-economic, employment practices, environmental protection, recordkeeping and accounting, and other requirements. These statutory and regulatory requirements complicate our business and increase our compliance burden. We are subject to audits, investigations and oversight proceedings about our compliance with contractual and legal requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, or we fail an audit, we may be subject to sanctions such as monetary damages, criminal and civil penalties, termination of contracts and suspension or debarment from government contract work. Furthermore, the government may terminate any of our government contracts and subcontracts either at its convenience or for default based on our performance. If a contract is terminated for convenience, we generally are protected by provisions covering reimbursement for costs incurred on the contract and profit on those costs. If a contract is terminated for default, we generally are entitled to payments for our work that has been accepted by the government; however, the government could make claims to reduce the contract value or recover its procurement costs and could assess other special penalties. Additionally, our programs for the government often operate for periods of time under undefinitized contract actions (“UCAs”), which means that we begin performing our obligations before the terms, specifications or price are finally agreed to between the parties. The government’s power to unilaterally definitize a contract can affect our ability to negotiate mutually agreeable contract terms and, if a contract is unilaterally imposed upon us, it may negatively affect our expected profit and cash flows on a program or impose burdensome terms.

Governmental entities in the U.S. continue to strengthen their position and scrutiny of practices that may indicate fraud, waste, and abuse affecting government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Our relationships with pharmaceutical and medical product manufacturers, healthcare providers, and other companies and individuals, as well as our provision of products and services to government entities, subject our business to statutes, regulations, and government guidance that are intended to prevent fraud and abuse. Many of these laws are vague or indefinite and have not been interpreted by the courts and, as such, may be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory, or judicial authority in a manner that could require us to make changes in our operations at added expense. Failure to comply with these laws could subject us to federal or state government investigations or qui tam actions, and to liability for damages and civil and criminal penalties, including the loss of pursue government contracts.

Healthcare Regulation: Our marketing practices are subject to state laws, as well as federal laws, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act, intended to prevent fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry. The Anti-Kickback Statute generally prohibits corruptly soliciting, offering, receiving, or paying anything of value to generate business. The False Claims Act generally prohibits anyone from knowingly and willingly presenting, or causing to be presented, any claims for payment for goods or services, including to government payers, such as Medicare and Medicaid, that are false or fraudulent and generally treat claims generated through kickbacks as false or fraudulent. The federal government and states also regulate sales and marketing activities and financial interactions between manufacturers and healthcare providers, requiring disclosure to government authorities and the public of such interactions, and the adoption of compliance standards or programs. Furthermore, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) prohibits U.S. corporations and their representatives from offering, promising, authorizing or making payments to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party or political candidate to obtain or retain business abroad. The scope of the FCPA includes interactions with certain healthcare professionals in many countries. Other countries have enacted similar anti-corruption laws and/or regulations.

Data Security and Privacy: We are subject to a variety of privacy and data protection laws that change frequently and have requirements that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, under HIPAA we must maintain administrative, physical, and technological safeguards to protect individually identifiable health information (“protected health information”) and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information. We are subject to significant compliance obligations under privacy laws some of which prohibit the transfer of personal information to certain other jurisdictions or otherwise limit our use of data. Many of these laws also require us to provide access or other data rights (modification, deletion, portability, etc.) to consumers’ and patients’ individual personal data records within specified periods of time. Laws such as the federal Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 may require us to provide notifications of significant data privacy breaches or cybersecurity incidents before our investigations are complete. We are subject to privacy and data protection compliance audits or investigations by various government agencies. Failure to comply with these laws subjects us to potential regulatory enforcement activity, fines, private litigation including class actions, reputational impacts, and other costs. We may also have contractual obligations that might be breached if we fail to comply with privacy and data security laws.

Employees

As of September 28, 2023, we employed 56 full-time employees and 112 part-time employees. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements, and we believe that we maintain good relations with our employees.

Facilities

Our corporate headquarters are located at 1119 Keystone Way N. #201 Carmel, IN 46032 pursuant to a three-year lease which commenced on July 1, 2021 and was amended on May 1, 2022 and provides for a monthly rent of $10,711. We believe this to be sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable future and that any additional space we may require will be available on commercially reasonable terms.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Our Corporate History

We were organized on November 20, 2020 as an Indiana corporation under the name Syra Health Corp. On March 11, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Delaware Secretary of State whereby we converted from an Indiana corporation to a Delaware corporation.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

Upon the consummation of this offering, our audit committee will consist of Sherron Rogers, Ketan Paranjape and Avutu S. Reddy, with Sherron Rogers serving as chair.

A copy of the code will be posted on our website, www.syrahealth.com, concurrently with the consummation of this offering. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the Nasdaq rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our current and former directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Our charter documents provide that we are authorized to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, our charter documents also provide that, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, we are required to advance expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under the provisions of Delaware law. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers and, in connection with the consummation of this offering, will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our director nominees. In addition, we expect to enter into agreements to indemnify our future directors, future executive officers and other employees as determined by the board of directors. With certain exceptions, these agreements will provide for indemnification for related expenses, including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also intend to obtain customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance upon consummation of this offering.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws to be effective upon the completion of this offering may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
