Going-concern doubt
— flagged Aug 13, 2026
Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“As of the date of this report, the Company does not have enough cash for twelve months of operations. The history of losses, the negative cash flow from operations, and the dependence by the Company on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current cash resources are exhausted raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”View the 10-Q filed Aug 13, 2026
