Controls & procedures
Text removed vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2025-11-13
In light of the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures are considered ineffective as of September 30, 2025, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regard to this quarterly report. Accordingly, the Company believes…
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures discussed above, we identified material weaknesses due to a lack of internal controls at the Company. Specifically, management has determined the following:
•management does not have sufficient qualified accounting personnel to support the preparation of financial statements that comply with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements
•a lack of validation of completeness and accuracy of internally prepared data, including key reports generated from systems, utilized in the operations of controls;

Our March 2026 purchase agreement involving a member of our Board of Directors and related governance arrangements may result in conflicts of interest, dilution, stockholder approval risks, and increased investor influence over our affairs.
In the March 2026 PIPE, Gregory H. Bailey, M.D., a current member of our Board of Directors, acting as lead investor, and certain other investors, purchased shares of the Company’s common stock, pre-funded warrants, and redeemable warrants. As a result of this transaction, and subject to stockholder…
Although the transaction was reviewed and approved by a special committee of independent and disinterested directors, transactions involving directors may present actual or perceived conflicts of interest and may be subject to heightened scrutiny by stockholders, regulators, proxy advisory firms, or…
In addition, pursuant to the March 2026 PIPE, Dr. Bailey was appointed as Co‑Chairman of our Board of Directors, and the investors obtained the right, subject to specified conditions, to designate an additional non‑executive director. These governance rights may lead to increased investor influence …
Further, the issuance of shares to Dr. Bailey requires stockholder approval under NYSE American rules. If such approval is not obtained in a timely manner, or at all, the anticipated issuance of shares underlying the pre‑funded warrants will be delayed or may not occur, which could negatively affect…

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.
We may sell up to $13.3 million of shares of our common stock in "at-the-market" offerings pursuant to a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") entered into on April 25, 2025 with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock pursuant to the…
The FDA regulatory approval process is lengthy, time consuming, and inherently unpredictable, and we may experience significant delays in the clinical development and regulatory approval, if any, of our product candidates.
The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, selling, import, export, adverse event reporting, record keeping, advertising, promotion, and distribution of drug products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States. We are not permi…
Further, we are reliant on regulators having the resources necessary to evaluate and approve our products. In the United States, a partial federal government shutdown halted the work of many federal agencies and their employees from late December 2018 through late January 2019. A subsequent extended…
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
