Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Previous report

Even if we can raise additional funding, we have in the past and may in the future enter into financing agreements that lead to increased dilution, and which will result in sales of our common stock in the open market, which could adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

Previous report

We entered into the GEM Share Purchase Agreements, pursuant to which GEM agreed to purchase up to $85.0 million in shares of our common stock subject to certain conditions and limitations. We may deliver drawdown notices to GEM of up to the aggregate limit and the applicable drawdown pricing period will be 15 consecutive trading days beginning on the notice date, provided that any requested drawdown may not exceed 300% of the average daily trading volume of our common stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the notice.

Previous report

In connection with the GEM Agreements, we were also required to pay a commitment fee of 1% of the aggregate limit in cash or freely tradeable common stock, the latter of which is dilutive to our existing shareholders. We settled this fee through issuance of 161,905 shares of our common stock to GEM at an effective price of $5.25 per share. Additionally, on October 8, 2025, the date our common stock commenced trading on Nasdaq, we issued to GEM a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 4% of our fully diluted outstanding shares as of the same date at an exercise price equal to $5.03, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the GEM Purchase Agreement. If the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price of the warrant, GEM is likely to exercise warrant shares, which would result in the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock.

Previous report

While we expect to receive proceeds from sales of our common stock under the GEM Agreements, these proceeds may not be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations or meet our future capital needs.

Previous report

We also may issue our share capital or securities convertible into our share capital from time to time in connection with a financing, acquisition, investments, or otherwise. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and cause the public price of our common stock to decline.

Previous report

The capital markets have been unpredictable in the recent past for companies such as ours. The amount of capital that companies such as ours can raise, as well as the terms upon which such capital may be available, often depends on variables that are beyond their control. As a result, we may not be able to secure financing on terms attractive to us, or at all. If we are able to consummate a financing arrangement, the amount raised may not be sufficient to meet our future needs. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, our business, including our results of operations, financial condition and our continued viability will be materially adversely affected.

Previous report

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over the accuracy of our financial reporting, and our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2024. While we have implemented remedial actions and concluded that the material weakness has been remediated as of September 30, 2025, if we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, it could result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements.

Previous report

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Previous report

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, we determined that there were certain errors pertaining to our accounting for stock- based compensation, which resulted in our identification of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to lack of properly designed, implemented and effective operating controls.

Previous report

Management, with oversight from board of directors and the audit committee of the board, implemented a remediation plan for this material weakness that included, among other things, hiring of personnel or engaging experts with adequate expertise in GAAP, designing and maintaining a formal control environment, accounting policies and controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures. We have concluded that as a result of the remediation measures, the material weakness has been effectively remediated as of September 30, 2025.

Previous report

Although we have implemented remedial actions to improve our internal controls, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in maintaining our internal controls over financial reporting, or that we will not identify additional control deficiencies or material weaknesses in the future. If we are not successful in maintaining our internal controls over financial reporting, or if we have additional control deficiencies, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports with the SEC in a timely manner, which may expose us to legal and regulatory liabilities and our common stock to be delisted from Nasdaq, and may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Previous report

Our business is dependent on the successful development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of our products, product candidates, and/or future products and product candidates.

Previous report

Our business is dependent on successful clinical trials of our products as well as FDA clearances/ approvals of our products. We have three FDA clearances for medical devices, two of which were obtained by the fourth quarter of 2017. In 2022, the Company entered into a licensing agreement for a biologic product it developed that is pending FDA clearance. On October 27, 2025, we entered into an out-licensing agreement with a global medical manufacturing and supply company for one of our currently FDA-cleared products — Xeal (K183681). The Company expects to continue increasing its drug development pipeline through expanded clinical trials for multiple disease indications and the buildout of staffing required to conduct such drug development. Failure to obtain meaningful clinical data, get further clearances/approvals from the FDA, or an inability to successfully develop license or market products could have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, or operations of the Company.

Previous report

In July 2025, we commenced a human trial on patients with moderate to severe eczema using our medical device formula cleared by FDA for the management of atopic dermatitis (eczema). This is the identical formula the company would propose for drug approval assuming positive trial outcomes. We expect to submit for IND approval to commence Phase 3 trials of this formula for moderate-severe eczema and onychomycosis following completion of this trial, and expect to include the relevant data in the IND approval submission package.

Previous report

We currently have three total medical device clearances on completed products from the FDA. We have one fully-developed medical device, Flex, which is undergoing testing for De Novo clearance. After any De Novo request is accepted, the FDA will conduct a substantive review to determine if the device meets the criteria for De Novo classification, and there can be no assurance as to the FDA’s final determination. We have a completed drug candidate pending IND submission for moderate-severe eczema and onychomycosis. We have one pharmaceutical/drug candidate, specifically a thermostable, intranasal in pre-clinical development. The success of our business, including our ability to generate any substantial revenues in the future, will depend to a significant extent on both the successful regulatory approval and commercialization of our current and future products.

Previous report

The clinical and commercial success of these current and future products will depend upon a number of factors, including the following:

Previous report

Further, competitors who are developing competing products that have a similar mechanism of action may experience problems with their products that could indicate or result in class-wide problems or additional requirements that could potentially harm our business. Due to these risks and uncertainties, we cannot provide assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue through the sale of our current or future products or product candidates to achieve or maintain profitability.

Previous report

An active trading market may not develop or continue to be liquid and the market price of shares of our common stock may be volatile.

Previous report

Prior to the direct listing, there was no public market for any of our securities. Our common stock has been listed on Nasdaq only for a limited period of time, and an active market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after the listing, which could depress the market price of shares of our common stock and could affect the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock. In the absence of an active public trading market, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments in our common stock. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, our ability to motivate our employees through equity incentive awards and our ability to acquire other companies, products or technologies by using shares of our common stock as consideration.

Previous report

Since our listing on Nasdaq, the market price and trading volume of our common stock have been, and may continue to be, highly volatile, including within a single trading day. Such volatility could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our common stock. For example, on October 8, 2025, the first day of trading on Nasdaq, the price of our common stock fluctuated between an intraday high of $10.00 and an intraday low of $6.23, on trading volume of approximately 219,124 shares. We cannot predict if or when similar volatility will occur or how long such conditions may persist.

Previous report

The public price of our common stock following the listing may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to the risk factors described in this Quarterly Report and others beyond our control, including:

Previous report

In addition, securities exchanges have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner often unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our common stock shortly following the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq as a result of the supply and demand forces described above. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to the Committed Equity Financing

Previous report

We cannot predict the number of shares we may sell to GEM under the GEM Purchase Agreement, the prices at which such shares may be sold, or the actual proceeds we will receive, and any sales could cause substantial dilution to our stockholders.

Previous report

On August 29, 2025, we entered into the GEM Purchase Agreement with GEM, which was further amended by a side letter dated as of September 24, 2025, pursuant to which GEM has committed to purchase up to $85.0 million of our common stock at our sole discretion, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the GEM Purchase Agreement. We may sell shares to GEM from time to time by delivering drawdown notices, and GEM will purchase shares at a price equal to 90% of the average daily closing price of our stock over the 15 consecutive trading days beginning on the date of such drawdown, provided that such purchase price shall not be less than $1.00 per share and provided further that any requested drawdown may not exceed 300% of the average daily trading volume of our common stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the notice. In addition, we may issue an initial draw down notice to GEM for an amount not to exceed $10.0 million on October 29, 2025, provided that GEM reserves the right to subscribe for between 50% and 200% of such initial draw down amount. In connection with the GEM Purchase Agreement, on October 8, 2025, we also issued GEM a warrant to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 4.0% of our fully diluted equity interests outstanding as of that date at an exercise price of $5.03 per share, subject to adjustments provided under the GEM Warrant.

Previous report

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by GEM for the common stock will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock at the time we elect to sell shares pursuant to the GEM Purchase Agreement, it is not possible for us to predict, prior to any such sales, the number of shares, the purchase price per share, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive under the GEM Purchase Agreement.

Previous report

On October 29, 2025, a registration statement on Form S-1 became effective, registering for resale, up to 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the GEM Purchase Agreement. Although the GEM Purchase Agreement provides that we shall, in our discretion, from time to time and during the term of the GEM Purchase Agreement, direct GEM to purchase shares from us in one or more purchases under the GEM Purchase Agreement, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of up to $85.0 million, only 7,000,000 shares of common stock are being registered for resale under the registration statement. However, the market prices of shares of our common stock may fluctuate from time to time and, as a result, the actual purchase prices to be paid by GEM for our shares of common stock that we direct GEM to purchase under the GEM Purchase Agreement also may fluctuate significantly based on the market price of our common stock.

Previous report

Accordingly, if we decide to issue and sell to GEM under the GEM Purchase Agreement more than the 7,000,000 shares being registered for resale under the registration statement in order to receive additional proceeds (which we may elect to do, at our sole discretion, up to aggregate gross proceeds of $85.0 million), we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements or post-effective amendments to registration statement already filed to register the resale under the Securities Act by GEM of any such additional common stock we wish to sell from time to time under the GEM Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective before we may elect to sell any such additional shares. Any issuance and sale by us under the GEM Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of common stock in addition to the 7,000,000 shares registered for resale could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders. The number of shares of common stock ultimately offered for sale by GEM is dependent upon the number of shares, if any, we ultimately elect to sell to GEM under the GEM Purchase Agreement.
