Previous wording

We are in the late pre-clinical stages of developing CYWC628 as a topically administered allogeneic fibroblast cell-based therapy for wound healing. Our pre-clinical studies focused on utilizing single cell fibroblasts, fibroblast spheroids, and fibroblast-derived materials to treat wounds in diabetic mice. We completed pre-clinical studies investigating (i) multiple administrations of CYWC628 spheroids on a chemically induced chronic wound NONcNZO10/LtJ and BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ LepRdb/J mouse model, (ii) dose titration to provide information on the proposed dose range of CYWC628, and (iii) acute and chronic toxicity. The results of our studies have shown statistically significant acceleration in the rate of wound closure in comparison with both a marketed wound care product and control, and improved quality of healed wounds.

We are developing CYMS101 as an intravenously administered allogeneic fibroblast single cell, and fibroblast spheroid cell-based therapy to treat MS. After completing animal studies using CYMS101, we received approval from a U.S.-based IRB to conduct clinical investigations in Mexico using the fibroblast cell composition for patients with MS, and completed a Phase 1 study. The study was conducted in five participants. The primary objective of the study was to assess safety, and the secondary objective was to assess efficacy. The primary objective was achieved as we saw no adverse events related to the treatment - no adverse events during intravenous injection of the tolerogenic fibroblasts, no short or long-impact in complete blood count tests during the 16-week monitoring period, and no short or long impact in electrocardiogram results during the 16-week monitoring period. In addition, the study assessed clinical activity using a standard set of neurological assessments routinely used to assess MS. We are currently conducting further research to more fully characterize the mode of action of fibroblasts in oligodendrocyte expansion. We plan to file an IND application for a Phase 1/2 clinical trial relating to MS in the United States as funding allows. We expect to seek a strategic partner to collaborate with us on the development of CYMS101 either before initiating the Phase 1/2 study, or after its completion, if successful, and prior to commencing a potential Phase 3 clinical trial.

Previous wording

Due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with biopharmaceutical product development and the economic and developmental uncertainty, we may be unable to accurately predict the timing or magnitude of all expenses. Our ability to ultimately generate revenue to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the development, approval, and subsequent commercialization of our product candidates. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations. As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our long-term continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which may include collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We may not be able to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we will have to significantly delay, reduce, or eliminate the development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates or delay our pursuit of potential in-licenses or acquisitions.

The remaining $1.9 million was expensed immediately because we were planning to raise funds through other sources and had no plans to issue further Draw Down Notices to GEM prior to the one-year anniversary of our public listing when this remaining amount would have been due.

Previous wording

We have incurred operating losses since our formation and expect such losses to continue in the future as we build infrastructure, develop intellectual property and conduct research and development activities. Moreover, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs associated with operating as a public company. We do not have any products approved for sale, and we have never generated any revenue from product sales. We have primarily relied on a combination of angel investors, private debt placements, convertible debt issuances, and sales of equity to fund our operations. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $45.1 million and cash and cash equivalents of $8.8 million. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our current or future product candidates and we do not know when, or if, that will occur. Unless and until such time that revenue and net income are generated, we will need to continue to raise additional capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. The financial statements have been prepared as though we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Previous wording

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. We believe we will be able to obtain additional capital through equity financings or other arrangements to fund operations; however, there can be no assurance that such additional financing, if available, can be obtained on acceptable terms. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or suspend one or more of our preclinical studies, clinical trials, research and development programs or commercialization efforts. We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, and other licensing arrangements. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we raise additional capital through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish certain valuable rights to our product candidates, technologies, future revenue streams or research programs or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
