Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks that could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Although it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks or uncertainties, they may include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on September 29, 2025. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Except as set forth below, there have been no other material changes to our risk factors since our aforementioned 2025 Form 10-K.

We have not generated any revenue since our inception and expect to incur future losses and may never become profitable.

We have not generated any revenue. As of September 30, 2025, we have an accumulated deficit of $76.0 million, which includes a fair value adjustment of $26.6 million for warrants converted into Series A preferred stock on a cashless basis in connection with our IPO. The likelihood of our future success must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays often encountered by companies in clinical development, including in connection with ongoing and future clinical trials and the emergence of competing products or therapies. These potential challenges include unanticipated clinical trial delays, poor data, changes in the regulatory and competitive landscape and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current budget estimates. In order to complete certain clinical trials and otherwise operate pursuant to our current business strategy, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses. In addition, we expect to incur significant losses and experience negative cash flow in the future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. We recognize that if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or source funding, we will not be able to continue operations as currently contemplated, complete planned clinical trials and/or achieve profitability. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability will also negatively impact the value of our shares. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, then we may need to curtail our business activities.

The future success of our business cannot be determined at this time, and we do not anticipate generating revenue from product sales in the near term. In addition, we have no experience in obtaining regulatory approval for and commercializing drug products on our own and face a number of challenges with respect to development and commercialization efforts, including, among other challenges:

●having inadequate financial or other resources to complete the development of our product candidate;
●the inability to manufacture our product in commercial quantities, at an adequate quality, at an acceptable cost or in collaboration with third parties;
●experiencing delays or unplanned expenditures in product development, clinical testing or manufacturing;
●the inability to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution channels;
●healthcare professionals may not adopt and patients may not accept our drug, if approved for marketing;
●we may not be aware of possible complications or other side effects from the use of our product since we have limited clinical experience with respect to the actual effects from use of our product;
●technological breakthroughs in reversing cannabis toxicity and treating patients experiencing intoxication symptoms may reduce the demand for our product, if it develops;
●changes in the market for reversing cannabis toxicity and treating patients experiencing intoxication symptoms, new alliances between existing market participants and the entrance of new market participants may interfere with our market penetration efforts;
●third-party payors may not agree to reimburse patients for any or all of the purchase price of our product, which may adversely affect patients’ willingness to use our product;
●uncertainty as to market demand may result in inefficient pricing of our product;
●we may face third-party claims of intellectual property infringement;
●we may fail to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals for our product in our markets or may face adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to our product even if regulatory approval is obtained; and
●we are dependent upon the results of clinical studies relating to our product and the products of our competitors. If data from a clinical trial is unfavorable, we would be reluctant to advance the product for the indication for which it was being developed.

If we are unable to meet any one or more of these challenges successfully, our ability to effectively obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize our products could be limited, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently have no product revenue and will need to raise additional capital in the future, which may be unavailable to us or may cause dilution or place significant restrictions on our ability to operate.

We may be unable to generate sufficient revenue or cash flow to fund our operations. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2025, along with access to funding under the Loan Agreement, will enable us to fund our current and planned operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we may exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our programs, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses associated with completing the research and development of our product candidate. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue from sales of any of our current or future product candidates, we will need to seek additional equity or debt financing or potential collaboration, license or development agreements to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our operations, continue the development of our product candidate, build our sales and marketing capabilities, promote brand identity, develop or acquire complementary technologies, products or businesses, or provide for our working capital requirements and other operating and general corporate purposes.

Other than the Loan Agreement, we currently do not have any arrangements or credit facilities as a source of funds, and we make no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital in the future if needed on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we draw down the entire $3 million available under the Loan Agreement, we will still require additional funding to fund our planned operations and capital expenditures. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of our current or future product candidates and other business, seek collaborations, or amend existing collaborations, for research and development programs at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or for the development of programs that we otherwise would have sought to develop independently, or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available, dispose of technology assets, or relinquish or license on unfavorable terms, our rights to technologies or any future product candidates that we otherwise would seek to develop or commercialize ourselves, pursue the sale of our company to a third party at a price that may result in a loss on investment for our stockholders, file for bankruptcy or cease operations altogether. This may materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition as well as our ability to achieve business objectives and maintain competitiveness.

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities and/or equity-linked securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders may be reduced, and accordingly these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. In addition, the Loan Agreement requires that we issue 0.03 shares of common stock per dollar loaned under the Loan Agreement, which will result in dilution to shareholders. We may also issue equity securities and/or equity-linked securities that provide for rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock. Given our need for cash and that equity and equity-linked issuances are very common types of fundraising for companies like us, the risk of dilution is particularly significant for our stockholders.

Any future debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include liens on our assets and covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt. Debt financing could also be required to be repaid regardless of our operating results.

If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our current or future products or revenue streams or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

Any additional capital raising efforts may divert the attention of our management from day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates.

We have filed a proxy statement seeking stockholder approval of a reverse stock split, which is being proposed in connection with our proposed plan to go private and to delist our common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market and deregister our common stock under the Exchange Act.

As previously disclosed, on July 23, 2025, we announced that a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) has recommended, and our Board of Directors has approved, as part of a proposed going private transaction, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “certificate of incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, subject to obtaining the requisite approval of our stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders to be held for that purpose. The Board of Directors may abandon the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to the filing and effectiveness of the Amendment to our certificate of incorporation, even after stockholder approval, if the Board of Directors determines that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of our company or our stockholders, including if the cash payment for fractional shares is determined by the Board of Directors to be too expensive. Upon such determination, if the number of record holders of our Common Stock remains below 300, the Board of Directors may deregister and delist the common stock without effecting the Reverse Stock Split, or the Board of Directors may choose an alternative transaction to maintain the number of record holders below 300.

If such approval is obtained, and the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to effect the Reverse Stock Split, we will give notice to The Nasdaq Stock Market of our intent to voluntarily delist our common stock and to withdraw the registration of our common stock with the SEC. We would then file a Form 25 Notification of Removal From Listing with the SEC at such time. If we proceed with such filing, we expect that listing of our shares on Nasdaq will be terminated thereafter, at which time we would file a Form 15 with the SEC to suspend our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Following deregistration, we would no longer file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K. Accordingly, there would be significantly less information regarding our company available to stockholders and potential investors. In addition, we would no longer be subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and certain of the liability provisions of the Exchange Act, although we would still be subject to the antifraud provisions of the Exchange Act and any applicable state securities laws. Following deregistration, our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders would no longer be required to file reports relating to their transactions in our common stock with the SEC. In addition, our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders would no longer be subject to the recovery of short-swing profits provision of the Exchange Act, and persons acquiring 5% of our common stock would no longer be required to report their beneficial ownership under the Exchange Act. Following the delisting of our common stock, any trading in our common stock would only occur in privately negotiated sales or potentially on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, if one or more brokers chooses to make a market for our common stock there and complies with applicable regulatory requirements; however, there can be no assurances regarding any such trading. The lack of public information and increased illiquidity would make trading in shares of our common stock more difficult, which could cause the value of our common stock to decrease.

A shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business.

A recurring shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business operations. During such shutdowns, while the SEC’s EDGAR system remains operational, the unavailability of the SEC staff to review filings, issue and resolve comments, or declare registration statements effective may delay our ability to complete public offerings and obtain timely regulatory approvals. These delays could impact our access to capital markets, hinder strategic transactions, and create uncertainty around our disclosure obligations. Additionally, the lack of interpretive guidance or exemptive relief during a shutdown may increase legal and compliance risks. There can be no assurance that future shutdowns will not materially affect our operations or financial condition.

Our business depends on timely interactions with the FDA, including the review of regulatory submissions, scheduling of formal meetings, and oversight of clinical trials. Disruptions at the FDA and other federal agencies, including substantial leadership departures, personnel cuts, policy changes and those related to the federal government shutdown, may result in reduced staffing or suspension of non-essential FDA operations, which could delay or cancel meetings with the FDA, hinder regulatory guidance, cause delays in the implementation or enforcement of regulatory requirements in a timely fashion or at all, and postpone the review of IND applications and New Drug Applications (NDAs). These disruptions may also affect the initiation, conduct, and monitoring of clinical trials, particularly those requiring FDA authorization or ongoing regulatory engagement. Interruptions in FDA activities could materially delay our development timelines, increase operational costs, and adversely impact our ability to complete our ongoing and planned clinical trials and to advance product candidates toward approval and commercialization. Any such delays or uncertainties may have a significant negative effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may apply for government grants to support some of our research and development activities for our product candidates. A lapse in appropriations resulting in a government shutdown could materially disrupt the timing and availability of these funds. During such shutdowns, federal agencies may suspend the processing of new grant applications, delay reimbursements, or pause disbursements for existing awards. These interruptions could adversely affect our ability to complete our planned research and development activities. If federal funding continues to be delayed, reduced or canceled, we may need to seek alternative sources of financing, scale back research efforts, or defer planned initiatives, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If we do not obtain the grants we applied for or other grants, we currently do not anticipate developing certain of our product candidates. Even if we obtain grant funding, the terms of the grant funding may be restrictive. Often government grants include provisions that reflect the government’s substantial rights and remedies, many of which are not typically found in commercial contracts, including powers of the government to potentially require repayment of all or a portion of the grant award proceeds, in certain cases with interest, in the event we violate certain covenants pertaining to various matters.

If the U.S. federal government should have another shutdown or if the FDA, National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), SEC or the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) experiences significant decreases in funding or personnel, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to issue licenses needed for conduct of our clinical trials, the NIH to conduct research or provide grants, and the abilities of the FDA and the USPTO 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 our operations.

There is substantial uncertainty as to whether and how the new administration will seek to modify or revise the requirements and policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over our product candidates and any products for which we obtain approval. Additionally, the new administration could also issue or promulgate executive orders, regulations, policies or guidance that adversely affect us or create a more challenging or costly environment to pursue the development of new therapeutic candidates.
