RISK FACTORS
Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our Quarterly Reports on Form10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively, and the accompanying prospectus, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, before you make a decision to invest in our securities. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
Additional Risks Relating to This Offering
Our management may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a significant return.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, research and development expenses, commercial expenses, clinical data generation costs and infrastructure expenses. However, we have not determined the specific allocation of the net proceeds among these potential uses. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock.
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by our existing securityholders could cause our stock price to decline.
The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the closing of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur. For example, a significant number of our total outstanding shares of common stock are registered for resale pursuant to registration statements and, as a result, such shares are freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. In addition, we have a significant number of stock options and warrants outstanding. If a substantial number of shares of common stock underlying these options and warrants are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Additional Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy
We have a limited history of manufacturing, assembling and installing MRIdian in commercial quantities and may encounter related problems or delays that could result in lost revenue.
The pre-installation manufacturing processes for MRIdian include sourcing components from various third-party suppliers, subassembly, assembly, system integration and testing. We must manufacture and assemble MRIdian in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We have only a limited history of manufacturing, assembling and installing MRIdian and, as a result, we may have difficulty manufacturing, assembling and installing MRIdian in sufficient quantities in a timely manner. To manage our manufacturing and operations with our suppliers, we forecast anticipated product orders and material requirements to predict our inventory needs up to a year in advance and enter into purchase orders on the basis of these requirements. Our limited manufacturing history may not provide us with sufficient data to accurately predict future component demand and to anticipate our costs effectively.
Further, we have experienced and may in the future experience delays in obtaining components from suppliers and installing our systems at customer sites associated with contractor timing delays, which could
