Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
The risks associated with our business, common stock and other factors include those described in the Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on November 26, 2024 and the following:
There is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which may affect our ability to obtain future financing and may require us to curtail or cease our operations.
Our consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2025 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As of May 31, 2025, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.6 million to settle $1.5 million in current liabilities. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on our ability to obtain additional equity, effect a collaborative or strategic partnership, reduce or contain expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. Based on these factors, management determined that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities as a result of the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Item 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
During the quarter ended May 31, 2025, the Company issued 70,000 share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $1.25 that expire on April 24, 2030 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable to purchase up to 70,000 shares of the common stock of the Company and were issued to nominees of H.C. Wainright & Co. LLC, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder, as consideration to the placement agent for its equity financing that closed on April 28, 2025.
Item 3. Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
Our Insider Trading Policy provides that our insiders, employees and consultants may enter into trading plans to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2025, none of the Company’s insiders had entered into a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933).
