On November 19, 2024, we announced final full data set from a nonclinical study comparing brain and plasma lithium exposures between AL001 and lithium carbonate in Alzheimer’s transgenic mice. The study was conducted at the University of South Florida and the bioanalytical procedures for determination of lithium concentration in the brain and plasma samples were conducted under good laboratory practice standards by Sannova Analytical LLC. The study involved administering AL001, a good manufacturing practices-quality active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) to 5XFAD mice, a recognized model for Alzheimer’s research, to compare its effects against lithium carbonate, an FDA approved and marketed API. Mice received either high or low doses scaled to humans of both AL001 and lithium carbonate over a 14-day period to observe pharmacokinetic steady-state drug conditions. On the 15th day, the mice were analyzed to assess how the treatments affected lithium concentrations in different brain regions and in their plasma.

We have incurred recurring net losses and operations have not provided sufficient cash flows. We believe that we will continue to incur operating and net losses each quarter until at least the time we are able to generate revenues from operations. We believe our current cash on hand is insufficient to fund our planned operations through one year after the date the condensed financial statements are issued. These factors create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that our condensed financial statements are issued.
Current wording
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have incurred recurring net losses and operations have not provided sufficient cash flows. We believe that we will continue to incur operating and net losses each quarter until at least the time we begin significant deliveries of our products. We believe our current cash on hand is insufficient to fund our planned operations through one year after the date the condensed financial statements are issued. These factors create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that our condensed financial statements are issued.
Previous wording
Our inability to continue as a going concern could have a negative impact on our company, including our ability to obtain needed financing. We intend to finance our future development activities and our working capital needs largely through the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other sources, including debt financing, until such time as funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Our condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. As of January 31, 2025, we had cash of $3.4 million, working capital of $3.2 million, an accumulated deficit of $57.4 million and stockholders’ equity of $3.4 million. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, we had net losses of $1.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $5.9 million. Historically, we have financed our operations principally through issuances of equity and debt instruments.
