Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from product sales or any other sources, except humanitarian use, and we have incurred significant operating losses. We have not yet commercialized any products, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any product candidates for a number of years, if ever. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have incurred recurring net losses since our inception. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,680,170 and $38,006,186, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $88,614,631 at June 30, 2025.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
