Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We face many significant risks in our business,
some of which are unknown to us and not presently foreseen. These risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition and results of operations in the future. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors
set forth under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, which we filed with the SEC on June 20, 2025.
We might not be able to continue as a going
concern.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements
as of June 30, 2025 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern twelve months from the date of issuance
of this Report. At June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.5 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $91 million.
From a financing perspective, in June 2025, we sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock under our ATM Agreement for proceeds of approximately
$0.7 million, and, in March 2025, we completed private placements of our common stock and common stock purchase warrants for net proceeds
of approximately $11.4 million. Even with these proceeds, we do not believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund
our operations for the period of 12 months from the date of issuance of this report, and we would need to raise additional capital. As
a result of our expected operating losses and cash burn for the foreseeable future and recurring losses from operations, if we are unable
to raise sufficient capital through additional debt or equity arrangements, there will be uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain
liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us. If we are unable to
generate sustainable operating profit and sufficient cash flows, then our future success will depend on our ability to raise capital.
We intend to seek additional financing and evaluate financing alternatives in order to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable
future. We cannot be certain that raising additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining
a line of credit or other loan, will be available to us or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If 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 stockholders
may experience dilution. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our current
product development programs, cut operating costs, forego future development and other opportunities or even terminate our operations.
If we are unable to satisfy the continued
listing requirements of the Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted and the price and liquidity of our common stock may be adversely
affected.
Our common stock may lose value and could be delisted
from Nasdaq due to several factors or a combination of such factors. While our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq, we can give
no assurance that we will be able to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq in the future, including, but not limited to,
the corporate governance requirements and the minimum closing bid price requirement or the minimum equity requirement.
On June 30, 2025, we received a letter from the
Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of
our common stock for the 30 consecutive business days ending on June 27, 2025, we no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum
bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),
we have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 29, 2025, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance
with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive
business days during this 180-day period. In the event we do not regain compliance within this 180-day period, we may be eligible to seek
an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days provided we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held
shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and if
we provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock
split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise
not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to us that our common stock will be subject to delisting.
19
The above-mentioned letter does not result in the immediate delisting
of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. We are monitoring the closing bid price of our common stock and considering our available
options in the event the closing bid price of our common stock remains below $1 per share.
There can be no assurance that we will be able
to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, maintain compliance with the other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq,
or that our common stock will not be delisted in the future.
If we were to be delisted, we would expect our
common stock to be traded in the over-the-counter market which could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock. Additionally,
we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
●
a limited availability of market quotations for our common stock;
●
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future;
●
reduced liquidity for our stockholders;
●
potential loss of confidence by customers, collaboration partners and employees; and
●
loss of institutional investor interest.
In the event of a delisting, we can provide no
assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow our common stock to become listed again,
stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum
bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.
