Previous wording
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our net loss was $5,824 and $5,513, respectively. We have incurred losses for each period from our inception and expect to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. We do not believe the cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities on hand are sufficient to fund planned operations beyond the next twelve months from the filing date of these financial statements. We seek to fund our operations through public or private equity offerings, debt financing, government or other third-party funding, collaborations and licensing arrangements. These financing alternatives may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.
