Going-concern doubt
— flagged Aug 14, 2026
Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“The Company believes that substantial doubt exists regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the Company's condensed financial statements, without additional funding or financial support. After considering management's plan for financing and funds raised that are probable to occur within one year, as well as that the Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future, management concluded that the substantial doubt that existed in its going concern analysis as of June 30, 2026 was not alleviated.”View the 10-Q filed Aug 14, 2026
