NOTE 2 LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ASSESSMENT

 

Management assesses liquidity and going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period,” as defined by GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management considered various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and made certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs, and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, management made certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,535,266, net working capital of $9,963,511, an accumulated deficit of $83,262,701, and total assets and liabilities of $28,725,344 and $17,303,859, respectively.

 

The Company has incurred significant recent losses, which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Continued market uncertainty and reduced order intake caused by weakening global macroeconomic conditions or recession could unfavorably impact the Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow and thereby significantly reduce its profitability and liquidity position. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in executing the planned revenue growth, cost reductions, strategy, and profitability improvement measures, thus achieving profitable operations.

 

We continue to analyze various alternatives, including potentially obtaining debt or equity financings or other arrangements. As further disclosed in Note 10 below, on September 27, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of up to $10 million in two tranches. In connection with the closing of the first tranche on September 27, 2024, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.2 million. The Company obtained stockholder approval at our stockholders' meeting on November 8, 2024 on the issuance of the securities in the second tranche. On November 12, 2024, the second tranche closed, and the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $8.8 million. Our future success depends on our ability to accelerate growth, restore profitability, and raise capital as needed.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As we issue additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our common stock, and our current shareholders may experience dilution. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our current development programs, reduce operating costs, forego future development and other opportunities, or even terminate our operations.
