Previous wording

Our business does not presently generate the cash needed to finance our current and anticipated operations. Based on our current operating plan and budgeted cash requirements, we believe that we have sufficient funds to finance our operations through October 2026; however, we will need to obtain additional future financing after that time to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities. We expect that we will need to seek additional funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. Poor financial results, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated opportunities could require additional financing sooner than we expect. Other than with respect to (i) the 2025 Purchase Agreement for up to $30 million we entered into with Lincoln Park on March 17, 2025; and (ii) Roth Sales Agreement for up to $35 million we entered into with Roth Capital on December 9, 2022; we have no plans or arrangements with respect to the possible acquisition of additional financing, and such financing may be unavailable when we need it or may not be available on acceptable terms. We currently have a remaining amount of $27.8 million pursuant to the 2025 Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, subject to the conditions set forth therein, and $26.9 million that is available to our Company pursuant to the Roth Sales Agreement with Roth Capital.
