LIQUIDITY RISKS AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY RISKS AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents balances totaling $1.7 million and investments of $6.1 million. The Company has incurred net losses every year since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $62.7 million at June 30, 2025. The Company has a limited operating history and has historically funded its operations through debt and equity financings. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $7.5 million, and negative cash flows from operations of $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Based upon the Company’s current business plans and cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the issuance of the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report. In order to address the Company’s capital needs, the Company intends to consider multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, the sale of equity or debt securities, grants or 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 transaction in a timely manner or on acceptable terms. As a result, the Company may have to significantly limit its operations and its business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed. The Company is subject to risks common to development stage biopharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, unanticipated clinical trial costs and the ability to estimate such occurrences, if any, on its cash, liquidity, additional financing requirements, and availability. The Company does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until the Company successfully completes development

and obtains marketing approval for one or more of its product candidates, which the Company expects will take a number of years and is subject to significant uncertainty. Additional financing will be required to complete the research and development of the Company’s therapeutic targets and its other operating requirements until it achieves commercial profitability, if ever. Such financing may not be available at acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding when it becomes necessary, the development of its product candidates will be impacted and the Company would likely be forced to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of its development programs.

Other risks and uncertainties:

The Company is subject to risks common to development stage biopharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, product liability, pre-clinical and clinical trial outcome risks, regulatory approval risks, uncertainty of market acceptance and additional financing requirements.

The Company’s products require approval or clearance from the FDA prior to commencing commercial sales in the United States. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will receive all of the required approvals or clearances. Approvals or clearances are also required in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company may license or sell its products.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s products, if approved, will be accepted in the marketplace, nor can there be any assurance that any future products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed.

The Company is also dependent on several third party suppliers, in some cases a single source supplier including the contract research organization managing both of the Company’s current clinical studies, the supplier of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), as well as the contract manufacturer of the drug product for clinical development.

Nasdaq Listing

On April 29, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the closing bid price per ADS was below the required minimum of $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had an initial period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until October 28, 2024, which was subsequently extended for an additional one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until April 28, 2025. To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, on April 9, 2025, the Company effected the Ratio Change and Reverse Split (see Note 1). On April 29, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the Company’s closing bid price per ADS was at $1.00 or greater for the last 13 consecutive business days. Accordingly, the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the matter was closed.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing. If the Company’s ADSs were delisted from Nasdaq, it would have a material negative impact on the actual and potential liquidity of the Company’s securities, as well as a material negative impact on the Company’s ability to raise future capital.
