Previous wording
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2025 was $1.7 million. Subsequent to the quarter end, we received $13.0 million from the sales of common stock in at the market offerings. We believe our cash and cash equivalents balance, plus the subsequent cash received and additional anticipated funding, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for more than one year from when these financial statements were issued. Because the completion of anticipated funding is not entirely within our control, we are required to disclose that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Research and development (“R&D”) expense includes the costs associated with our internal research and development activities, including compensation and benefits, occupancy costs, manufacturing costs, costs of expert consultants, and administrative costs. R&D expense increased 111% to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the $1.8 million gain recorded from the forgiveness of certain previously recorded liabilities in 2024 that did not reoccur in 2025, partially offset by decreased costs associated with both the timing of our clinical trials and pre-clinical activities as well as decreased personnel costs, primarily due to decreased headcount.
