This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act) that reflect our current expectations and views of future events.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections.

These and other important factors, including those discussed in this Report under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, or could affect our share price. Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following
| ● | our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of our product candidates; |
| ● | our ability to contract with third-party suppliers, manufacturers and other service providers and their ability to perform adequately; |

| ● | our ability to advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials; |

Given the risks and uncertainties set forth in this Report, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and events in the industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.
Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Report speaks only as of the date of such statement. Except as required by federal securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Report.
Summary of Principal Risks
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that represent challenges that we face in connection with the implementation of our strategy and the growth of our business. In particular, the following are the principal risks which could cause a decline in the price of shares of our common stock:
| ● | We are a development-stage, pre-clinical biotechnology company that has no revenues and has incurred losses since our inception. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may never be able to generate revenues or achieve or maintain profitability. |
| ● | Our limited operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate the success of our business to date and to assess our future viability. |
| ● | Our losses from operations and negative cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2024 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financings. |
| ● | The report of our independent registered accounting firm on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 contains an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern. |
| ● | We are dependent on the success of our product candidates, some of which may not receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized. |
| ● | We will need additional funds to complete the further development of our business plan, and there is no assurance that additional financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to us. |
| ● | Certain of our executive officers will not be employed by us on a full-time basis. |
| ● | We face risks related to health, pandemics, epidemics, and outbreaks could significantly disrupt our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, commercialization efforts, supply chain, regulatory and clinical development activities, and other business operations, in addition to the impact of a global economic slowdown. |
| ● | We plan to conduct clinical trials at sites outside the United States. There could be interruptions or delays in our trials resulting from geopolitical events, such as war or terrorism. |
| ● | Results of pre-clinical studies and future early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive indicators of future results. |
| ● | We may fail to expand our anticipated outsourced manufacturing capability in time to meet market demand for our products and product candidates, and the FDA may refuse to accept the facilities of our contract manufacturers as being suitable to produce our products and product candidates. Any problems in our manufacturing process could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. |
| ● | Our future success will largely depend on the success of our product candidates, which development will require significant capital resources and years of clinical development effort. |
| ● | There is a high rate of failure for drug candidates proceeding through clinical trials |
| ● | We rely on, and expect to continue to rely on, third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, comply with regulatory requirements or meet expected deadlines, we may not be able to obtain marketing approval for or commercialize our product candidates, and our business could be substantially harmed. |
| ● | We rely on third parties to manufacture our clinical product supplies, and we intend to rely on third parties for at least a portion of the manufacturing process of our product candidates, if approved. Our business could be harmed if those third parties fail to provide us with sufficient quantities of product or fail to do so at acceptable quality levels or prices or fail to maintain or achieve satisfactory regulatory compliance. |
| ● | Even if any of our product candidates receives marketing approval, it may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors, and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success. |
| ● | If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our technology and products, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could commercialize technology and products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our technology and products may be impaired. |
| ● | Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with relatively small public floats comparable to our anticipated public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company, and our securities may potentially experience rapid and substantial price volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our securities. |
