Current report
On March 13, 2026, the Company received an additional letter (the “March 2026 Letter”) from the NYSE American indicating that the Company is also not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide, which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $6.0 million if a listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. The March 2026 Letter noted that the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $3.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2025. The Company is seeking to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii), in addition to Section 1003(a)(ii), of the NYSE American Company Guide by the April 1, 2027 plan period deadline pursuant to the Plan. During the plan period, the Company must provide quarterly updates to the NYSE American staff concurrent with its periodic filings, and if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan or does not regain compliance by the plan period deadline, the NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.
Current report
As of June 30, 2026, the Company reported total stockholders’ equity of approximately $7.3 million, which exceeds the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements of Sections 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. Any determination that the Company has regained compliance with the applicable continued listing standards will be made by the NYSE American, and the Company remains subject to the Plan and the NYSE American’s periodic review during the plan period. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain, or thereafter maintain, compliance with all applicable NYSE American continued listing standards.

We are focused on developing innovative therapies for precision dermatology using engineered proteins and topical live biotherapeutic products. We have built a proprietary platform that includes a microbial library comprised of approximately 1,500 unique bacterial strains that can be screened for unique therapeutic characteristics. The platform is augmented by an artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, which can enable the transformation of previously genetically intractable strains. Our initial focus is on the development of genetically engineered strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis, or S. epidermidis, which we consider to be an optimal therapeutic candidate species for engineering of dermatologic therapies. The particular species demonstrates a number of well-described properties in the skin. As of the date of this report, we have identified among our microbial library over 60 distinct bacterial species that we believe are capable of being engineered to create living organisms or engineered proteins with significant therapeutic effect. We also leverage our technology to develop cosmetic ingredients for consumer-oriented products.

We received Pediatric Rare Disease Designation for ATR-12 by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in 2019.

After submitting post-IND manufacturing reports, we have commenced operating activities for our Phase 1b clinical trial in December 2023, and we dosed our first patient in August 2024. We reported initial clinical safety results in the first half of 2025.

•Broaden our platform by selectively exploring strategic partnerships that maximize the potential of our precision dermatology programs. We intend to maintain significant rights to all of our core technologies and product candidates. However, we will continue to evaluate partnering opportunities in which a strategic partner could help us to accelerate development of our technologies and product candidates, provide access to synergistic combinations, or provide expertise that could allow us to expand into the treatment of different types of skin diseases. We may also broaden the reach of our platform by selectively in-licensing technologies or product candidates. In addition, we will consider potentially out-licensing certain of our proprietary technologies for indications and industries that we are not ourselves pursuing. We believe our genetic engineering techniques and technologies have applicability outside of the field of medicine, including cosmetics and in the generation of clean fuels and bioremediation.

As of March 31, 2026, we had total assets of approximately $12.1 million and working capital of approximately $9.2 million. As of March 31, 2026, our liquidity included approximately $10.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our cash on-hand as of the date of this report will not be sufficient to cover our proposed plan of operations over the next twelve months. We intend to seek additional funds through various financing sources, including the sale of our equity and debt securities, federal grants, licensing fees for our technology and joint ventures with industry partners. In addition, we will consider alternatives to our current business plan that may enable us to achieve revenue producing operations and meaningful commercial success with a smaller amount of capital. However, there can be no guarantees that such funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to further pursue our business plan and we may be unable to continue operations.
