Going-concern doubt
— flagged May 8, 2026
Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“As a result of the Company's recurring losses from operations, and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.”View the 10-Q filed May 8, 2026
