Current report

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

Current report

A recurring shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business operations and regulatory compliance. During such shutdowns, while the SEC’s EDGAR system remains operational, the unavailability of SEC staff to review filings, issue comments, or declare registration statements effective may delay our ability to complete public offerings, respond to comment letters, or 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.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $752.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had total current assets of $25.5 million, including cash of $2.1 million, restricted cash of $0.5 million, and marketable securities of $0.7 million, and total current liabilities of $30.4 million. The Company had negative working capital of $4.9 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to working capital of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In order to address our capital needs, we will need to raise further capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, financing arrangements or by entering into collaborative, strategic, and/or licensing transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any such financing, collaborative or strategic transactions in a timely manner or on acceptable terms. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. Without such additional capital, we may be required to curtail or cease operations and be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.

Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we were successful in raising net proceeds of $6.6 million in connection with the October Offerings, which closed on October 22, 2025, strengthening our cash position. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations and concluded, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In order to address our capital needs, we will need to raise further capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, financing arrangements or by entering into collaborative, strategic, and/or licensing transactions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such financing, collaborative or strategic transactions in a timely manner or on acceptable terms beyond what we completed on October 22, 2025. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. Without such additional capital, we may be required to curtail or cease operations and be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.
