We have incurred significant operating losses since inception, including operating losses of $5.7 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $14.4 million and $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in total other income of $50.0 million was a result of the termination of the Candid Merger Agreement on May 4, 2026 and payment of the related termination fee. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $266.6 million. These losses have resulted primarily from costs incurred in connection with research and development activities and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We have not commercialized any products and have never generated revenue from the commercialization of any product. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
