Current report

We may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate or indication and fail to capitalize on potential product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.

Current report

Our use of generative artificial intelligence tools in our operations may expose us to risks related to confidentiality, accuracy, regulatory compliance and intellectual property ownership or rights.

Current report

We may utilize generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools in certain aspects of our operations, including drafting, analysis, administrative functions and other business processes. While these technologies may enhance efficiency, their use involves risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business and reputation, including with regard to cybersecurity, data privacy, IT, confidentiality, regulatory, legal, operational, competitive, reputational and intellectual property, among others.

Current report

Generative AI platforms are typically operated by third-party providers and may process information through external systems. Although we maintain internal policies governing the use of such tools, there can be no assurance that confidential, proprietary or sensitive information will not be inadvertently disclosed, misused or accessed by unauthorized parties. Any such disclosure could result in reputational harm, competitive disadvantage, regulatory scrutiny or potential legal liability.

Current report

In addition, AI-generated outputs may contain inaccuracies, incomplete information, outdated data or unintended biases. If such outputs are relied upon without appropriate review and validation, they could impair internal decision-making or result in errors in communications or disclosures.

Current report

The legal and regulatory landscape surrounding artificial intelligence technologies is evolving. Future laws, regulations or regulatory interpretations could impose additional requirements or restrictions on the use of AI tools, increase compliance costs or limit our ability to utilize such technologies effectively.

Current report

Further, uncertainty regarding intellectual property ownership or rights associated with AI-generated materials may create additional legal risk. Any failure to appropriately manage the risks associated with our use of generative AI tools could adversely affect our operations, financial condition or results of operations.

Current report

Changes in government funding for the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, properly administer drug innovation, or prevent our potential product candidates from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

In December 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act was signed into law. This legislation is designed to advance medical innovation and empower the FDA with the authority to directly hire positions related to drug and device development and review. However, government proposals to reduce or eliminate budgetary deficits may include reduced allocations to the FDA and other related government agencies. These budgetary pressures may result in a reduced ability by the FDA to perform its roles, including the related impact to academic institutions and research laboratories whose funding is fully or partially dependent on both the level and timing of funding from government sources.

Current report

On July 20, 2026, we received a written notice from the Staff indicating that, since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2026, reported stockholders’ equity of $(1,099,000), and as of July 20, 2026, we did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, we no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity, as set forth in Rule 5550(b)(1). On August 4, 2026, we received a notice from the Staff indicating that we regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

Current report

Additionally, Nasdaq has adopted Listing Rules 5450(a)(3) and 5550(a)(6), which would require issuers to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") of at least $5 million (the "MVLS Requirement"). On July 22, 2026, the staff of the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, acting pursuant to delegated authority, approved the Nasdaq rule change. Under the rule as approved, an issuer whose MVLS remains below $5 million for 30 consecutive business days would be subject to immediate suspension and delisting without a cure or compliance period, and a request for review by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel would not stay the suspension of trading. However, on July 29, 2026, the SEC received notices of intention to petition for review of the delegated action and, pursuant to Rule 431(e) of the SEC's Rules of Practice, the July 22, 2026 approval order was automatically stayed pending review by the full SEC. As a result, the MVLS Requirement and the related immediate suspension and delisting provisions are not currently in effect and will remain stayed unless and until the SEC orders otherwise. The SEC may ultimately affirm, modify or set aside the delegated action, and there can be no assurance as to the outcome or timing of the SEC's review, whether the MVLS Requirement will take effect in its current form, a modified form or at all, or if the MVLS Requirement or a modification thereof takes effect, that we will be compliant, or maintain compliance, with such.

Current report

In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce patents that we might obtain in the future.
Removed paragraphs (11)

Previous report

If we fail to obtain and sustain an adequate level of reimbursement for our potential products by third-party payors, potential future sales would be materially adversely affected.

Previous report

There will be no viable commercial market for our drug candidates, if approved, without reimbursement from third-party payors. Reimbursement policies may be affected by future healthcare reform measures. We cannot be certain that reimbursement will be available for any drug candidate we may develop. Additionally, even if there is a viable commercial market, if the level of reimbursement is below our expectations, our anticipated revenue and gross margins will be adversely affected.

Previous report

Third-party payors, such as government or private healthcare insurers, carefully review and increasingly question and challenge the coverage of and the prices charged for drugs. Reimbursement rates from private health insurance companies vary depending on the company, the insurance plan and other factors. Reimbursement rates may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost drugs and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. There is a current trend in the U.S. healthcare industry toward cost containment.

Previous report

Large public and private payors, managed care organizations, group purchasing organizations and similar organizations are exerting increasing influence on decisions regarding the use of, and reimbursement levels for, particular treatments. Such third-party payors, including Medicare, may question the coverage of, and challenge the prices charged for, medical products and services, and many third-party payors limit coverage of or reimbursement for newly approved healthcare products. In particular, third-party payors may limit the covered indications. Cost-control initiatives could decrease the price we might establish for products, which could result in product revenues being lower than anticipated. We believe our drugs will be priced significantly higher than existing generic drugs and consistent with current branded drugs. If we are unable to show a significant benefit relative to existing generic drugs, Medicare, Medicaid and private payors may not be willing to provide reimbursement for our drugs, which would significantly reduce the likelihood of our products gaining market acceptance.

Previous report

We expect that private insurers will consider the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, safety and tolerability of our potential products in determining whether to approve reimbursement for such products and at what level. Obtaining these approvals can be a time consuming and expensive process. Our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected if we do not receive approval for reimbursement of our potential products from private insurers on a timely or satisfactory basis. Limitations on coverage could also be imposed at the local Medicare carrier level or by fiscal intermediaries. Medicare Part D, which provides a pharmacy benefit to Medicare patients as discussed below, does not require participating prescription drug plans to cover all drugs within a class of products. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if Part D prescription drug plans were to limit access to, or deny or limit reimbursement of, our drug candidates or other potential products.

Previous report

Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and by region, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. In many countries, the product cannot be commercially launched until reimbursement is approved. In some foreign markets, prescription pharmaceutical pricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. The negotiation process in some countries can exceed 12 months. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of our products to other available therapies.

Previous report

If the prices for our potential products are reduced or if governmental and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement of our drugs, our future revenue, cash flows and prospects for profitability will suffer.

Previous report

*Disruptions at the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies, caused by funding shortages, government shutdowns or global health concerns, could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

Significant disruptions to the operations of government agencies, including from prolonged or repeated shutdown of the federal government, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Recently, from January 31, 2026 to

Previous report

Further, a prolonged or future shutdown of the U.S. federal government could materially impact the operations of the SEC. For example, the SEC announced that during the prior U.S. federal government shutdown, it would not declare registration statements effective. In the event of an extended shutdown, the SEC may operate with limited staff or suspend certain functions altogether, which could delay the review or effectiveness of our filings, including registration statements or other financing-related disclosures. Such delays could adversely affect our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue to fund our operations.

Previous report

As a result of prior non-compliance with the Nasdaq requirement to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (“Rule 5550(b)(1)”), we are to subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor until April 30, 2026. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) finds us again out of compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1), we will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for us to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will we be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and we will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Hearings Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Hearings Panel is unavailable. We will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). Our securities may be at that time delisted from Nasdaq.

Previous wording

Our ability to effectively monitor and respond to the rapid and evolving developments and expectations relating to sustainability, including environmental, social and governance factors may impose unexpected costs or results in reputational or other harm that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Current wording

Our ability to effectively monitor and respond to the rapid and evolving developments and expectations relating to sustainability, including environmental, social and governance factors may impose unexpected costs or result in reputational or other harm that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Previous wording

There is an increasing focus from certain investors, employees, regulators, listing exchanges and other stakeholders concerning corporate responsibility and sustainability matters, including with regarding environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors. Some investors and investor groups may use these factors—either positively or negatively—to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, investors may choose not to invest in our Company if they believe our policies or practices relating to corporate responsibility and sustainability do not align with their expectations. Currently, a variety of third-party providers of corporate responsibility and sustainability ratings measure the performance of companies on ESG topics, and the results of these assessments are widely publicized. Investors, particularly institutional investors, use these ratings to benchmark companies against their peers, and major institutional investors have publicly emphasized the importance of ESG measures to their investment decisions. Topics taken into account in such assessments include, among others, companies’ efforts and impacts on climate change, human rights, business ethics and compliance, diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) and the role of companies’ board of directors in overseeing various sustainability-related issues. In light of investors’ increased focus on sustainability matters, if we are, for example, are perceived as lagging in taking steps with respect to ESG initiatives, certain investors may seek to engage with us on improving our ESG disclosures or performance. They may also make voting decisions, or take other actions to hold us and our board of directors accountable.

Previous wording

February 3, 2026, the U.S. government partially shut down. Additionally, beginning on October 1, 2025, the U.S. government shut down and remained shut down until November 12, 2025, during which time certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, has furloughed certain employees and stopped certain activities. Additionally, on October 10, 2025, the U.S. government implemented substantial layoffs and workforce reductions in connection with the ongoing federal government shutdown, which has resulted in the suspension or delay of various government-funded programs. The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products, to provide feedback on clinical trials and development programs, to meet with sponsors and to otherwise review regulatory submissions can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, reductions in workforce, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, substantial changes in leadership and shifting policy priorities as a result of changes in the presidential administration and its appointees tasked to oversee the agency, and statutory, regulatory and policy changes. In addition, there may be delays in necessary interactions with regulators, ethics committees and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government or contractor personnel. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of other agencies on which our operations may rely is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.

Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of other agencies that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. In addition, government shutdowns, if prolonged, could significantly impact the ability of government agencies upon which we rely, such as the FDA and SEC, to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Previous wording

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies, including as a result of reductions in force, significant organizational changes, substantial leadership departures, and policy changes, may also slow the time necessary for our potential product candidates to be reviewed or approved by necessary government agencies, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. With the change in presidential administrations in 2025, there is substantial uncertainty as to how the current U.S. administration will continue to modify or revise the requirements and policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over our product candidates. For example, the current U.S. administration has discussed several changes to the reach and oversight of the FDA, which could affect its relationship with the pharmaceutical industry, transparency in decision making and ultimately the cost and availability of prescription drugs. The impending uncertainty could present new challenges or potential opportunities as we navigate the clinical development and approval process for our product candidates. Additionally, over the last several years, including for 35 days beginning on December 22, 2018, the U.S. government has shut down several times, and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical employees and stop certain critical activities. The current U.S. administration previously announced plans to reduce the number of federal employees by establishing voluntary termination programs, by position eliminations or by involuntary terminations. If funding for the FDA is reduced, if the FDA workforce is reduced, or if the current government shutdown continues, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we or our collaborators experience delays in obtaining approval or if we or they fail to obtain approval of our product candidates, the commercial prospects for our product candidates may be harmed and our ability to generate revenue will be materially impaired.

Current wording

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for our potential product candidates to be reviewed or approved by necessary government agencies, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, over the past decade, the U.S. government has shut down several times, and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, have had to furlough critical employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue to fund our operations.

On March 25, 2025, we sold our FXR program and related assets to Eli Lilly and Company (the “FXR Asset Sale”). The consideration for the FXR Asset Sale included potential milestone payments by Eli Lilly and Company of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate, which are contingent upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones. There can be no assurance that we will be entitled to receive any milestone payments, and there is risk that any or all of the milestone events may not be achieved, that disagreements may occur regarding the achievement of such milestones and that any or all of the payments tied to the achievement of the milestone events might not be received.

Similar actions are either in place or under way in the United States. There are a broad variety of data protection and breach notification laws that are applicable to our activities, and a wide range of enforcement agencies at both the state and federal levels that can review companies for privacy and data security concerns based on general consumer protection laws. All 50 U.S. states and territories and international jurisdictions have varying breach notification laws that may require us to notify patients, employees or regulators in the event of unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal or confidential data experienced by us or our service providers. These laws are not consistent, and compliance in the event of a widespread data breach is difficult and may be costly. We also may be contractually required to notify patients or other counterparties of a security breach. In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups have and may in the future propose self-regulatory standards from time to time. These and other industry standards may legally or contractually apply to us, or we may elect to comply with such standards.

The stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations. The trading price of our common stock is, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. For example, during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, our closing stock price ranged from $1.81 to $3.46 per share. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against such a company. Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business and financial condition.

Wainwright in May 2023. In its complaint, H.C. Wainwright is seeking compensatory and consequential damages and attorneys’ fees. On October 18, 2024, we filed an answer to the complaint and on September 2, 2025, we filed an amended answer and counterclaimed for rescission, fraudulent inducement, and breach of contract, alleging that the Court should rescind the engagement agreement and award us damages, interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees because H.C. Wainwright misrepresented the services it would provide and breached its duties to us under the engagement agreement. We have briefed H.C. Wainwright's motion to dismiss our counterclaims. We are defending against H.C. Wainwright’s claims and pursuing our counterclaims vigorously, but there is no guarantee that we will be successful in these efforts.

Finally, with the change in U.S. presidential administrations in 2025, there is substantial uncertainty as to how, if at all, the new administration will seek to modify or revise the requirements and policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over our potential product candidates. The impending uncertainty could present new challenges or potential opportunities as we navigate the clinical development and approval process for our potential product candidates. If we or our collaborators experience delays in obtaining approval or if we or they fail to obtain approval of our potential product candidates, the commercial prospects for our potential product candidates may be harmed and our ability to generate revenue will be materially impaired.
