Current report
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of approximately $0.8 million. We used approximately $4.5 million of cash in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Current report
Historically, we have been primarily engaged in developing TELOMIR-1. During these activities, we have sustained substantial losses. We have incurred net losses of $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which $7 million was attributable to general and administrative expenses, Since inception, we have financed its operations through an initial public offering, related party financings and a private financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we secured $5 million in additional funding pursuant to the Starwood Note (see Note 4 to the accompanying financial statements). Based on current projections, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this report to support our operations for at least the 12 months following the date that the financial statements are issued. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Current report
Our ability to fund ongoing operations and future clinical trials required for FDA approval is dependent on our ability to obtain significant additional external funding in the near term. Although, additional sources of financing may be sought by us, there can be no assurance that any fundraising will be achieved on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The failure to obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms when needed would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Accordingly, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
