The majority of current revenue is generated from the REVEALCOVID-19TM Total Antibody Test as well as associated products and services. Such disproportionate contribution to the revenue may expose the Company to certain financial risks. To mitigate such risks, the Company does not solely rely on the marketing and sale of REVEALCOVID-19™ Total Antibody Test, and, therefore, is continuously working on the development, validation, and regulatory approval of a number of high-demand products. The aim of this product diversification strategy is to counter act any macro economical changes and other non-economic factors.
