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 September 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 September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately
$99.2 million. As disclosed in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report, in September 2025, we effected
a warrant inducement offering for net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million, and, during the six months ended September 30, 2025, we
generated net proceeds of approximately $0.7 million from sales under our at-the-market sales program. 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 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 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.
