Since
our inception, we have engaged primarily
in development activities, including planning and implementing clinical trials to support commercialization
and FDA approvalclearance of our Symphony
platform. We have funded our operations primarily through debt and equity financings, and have incurred
losses since inception, including
a net loss of approximately $7.7$6.8 million and approximately $10.0$7.7 million for the years ended December
31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively,
and from our inception through December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $34.7
$41.5 million.
We
currently have no product revenue and we may
not be able to commercialize our Symphony technology platform or achieve significant revenues
or profitability. Our ability to generate
revenue and achieve profitability depends upon our ability, alone or with others, to complete
the development process of our product candidates,
including regulatory approvals,clearances, and thereafter achieve substantial acceptance in the
marketplace for our products. We may be unable to
achieve any or all of these goals.
We expect to need to raise at least $20 million between the date of this filing and the end of the 2027 fiscal year, and failure to do so could require us to undertake a process of liquidation under U.S. bankruptcy laws, which could cause holders of our common stock to recoup little, if any, value for their shares.
We
will require additional funding to finance our operations to continue as a going concern, which may not be available to us on acceptable
terms, or at all, and our lack of cash resources has slowed the timeline of our clinical trial work and could cause us to run out of
cash resources in the near-term.
To
date, we have relied primarily on private debt and equity financing to carry on our business. We have limited financial resources, negative
cash flow from operations and no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to us to fund our operating expenses and to further
our product development efforts and pursue clinical trials for FDA approval. Based on these and other factors, in our audited consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we concluded that this circumstance raised substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the original issuance date of such financial statements. Similarly, in
its report on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our independent registered public
accounting firm included an emphasis of matter paragraph stating that our recurring losses from operations and continued cash outflows
from operating activities raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Absent
furtherAs funding,of December 31, 2025, we currentlypossessed cash and
cash equivalents of approximately $5.2 million, while having current liabilities of approximately $1.1 million. Consistent with prior
years, we expect to runincur outa ofsignificant availableoperating cashloss resourcesin during2026 theand third2027 quartergiven ofthat 2025.we do not currently generate any operating income.
To achieve our current
strategic plan, which strives to be in position to submit a 510(k) regulatory application to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2027 and
achieve FDA approvalclearance as early as the third quarter of 2028,thereafter, we expect to need to raise at least $30$20 million of further capital between the
second quarter of 2025 andthrough the end of the 2027 fiscal
year, which we hope to do in various tranchestranches. duringIf thiswe timedo period.not raise additional capital, we expect to run out of available cash resources
in the third quarter of 2026. There can
be no assurance that such additional capital will be available on a timely basis or on terms that
will be acceptable to us. We currently
do not have any contracts or commitments for additional financing. In addition, any additional
equity financing may involve substantial
dilution to our existing stockholders, or provide that an equity or debt financing source obtains
rights to control the membership of
our board of directors.
Our financial results and financial position, and our expected forward-looking outlook of significant negative cash flow in the future, raise substantial doubt with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect that we will not be in position to submit a 510(k) regulatory application to the FDA for Symphony until 2027, at the earliest, if we are even able to generate sufficient clinical trial results to support such a submission.
As
a result of our lack of cash resources, we have slowed the timeline of our clinical trial work to preserve cash resources in the near-term.
If we fail to obtain additional financing, we
likely will be forced to abandon suchoperational activities entirely and file for bankruptcy protection,
with the possible loss of such properties
or assets (including the license to our core technology). Based on our explorations to date,
we do not expect that any other strategic
alternatives, such as a potential sale of the Company or its assets or other restructuring
efforts, will be available to us in the near-term.
As a result, any inability to obtain additional financing in the near-term, including
a material amount of financing over the next 2-32 years,
would likely result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, cash flow, financial condition and prospects
and cause our stockholders to receive little or no return on their shares of
common stock.
Since
the initial public offering of our
common stock in November 2021, the market price of our common stock has fallen by more than 99.9%,
and we expect to need additional funding
amounts substantially greater than the current market capitalization of our common stock, which
may result in future dilution that coincides
with further material declines in the trading price of our common stock beyond the substantial
declines that have occurred in recent years.
Since
the initial public offering of our common
stock in November 2021, the market price of our common stock has fallen by more than 99.9%,
including declines of greater than 80% per
year in each of 2022,2025, 2024, 2023 and 2024.2022. During such period of time, we have conducted several
public offerings and private placements
of securities to raise additional capital, and in each case, the market price of our common stock has fallendeclined substantially
after the consummation
of such offerings. As described above, we expect to need to raise at least $30$20 million of funding over the next 2-3
2 years – an aggregate
amount approximately 15several times the current market capitalization of our outstanding common stock, and we do
not expect to be able to complete necessary
product re-development, troubleshooting and clinical trial work absent such material funding.
This may cause new investors to demand terms
in future offerings that substantially dilute existing shareholders, orsuch resultas the inclusion of warrants with Black Scholes protections

from current levels on a per share basis.
As part of our public offerings and/or private placements of securities in October 2025, April 2025, June 2024, January 2024 and August 2023, we issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. As of the date of this filing, remaining warrants exercisable from these transactions included (i) Series F Warrants issued in October 2025 to purchase up to 1,125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, (ii) October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 45,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, (iii) Class E Warrants issued in April 2025 to purchase up to 271,277 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $13.68 per share, (iv) Class C Warrants issued in June 2024 to purchase 71,873 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $65.20 per share, (v) January 2024 Warrants to purchase up to 1,682 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2,080.00 per share, (vi) January 2024 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 117 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2,600.00 per share, and (vii) warrants issued in August 2023 to purchase up to an aggregate of 142 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $11,584.00 to $14,736.00 per share. All of such warrants expire either five or five and one-half years from the date of issuance (except for the October 2025 Prefunded Warrants, which do not expire).
As
part of our public offerings of common stock in June 2024, January 2024 and August 2023, we issued warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock. As of December 31, 2024, remaining warrants exercisable from these transactions included (i) Class C Common stock warrants
to purchase 1,372,586 shares of common stock which are exercisable at a price of $16.30 per share, (ii) January 2024 Common Stock Warrants
to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,201 shares of common stock at an exercise prices ranging from $520.00 to $650.00 per share and (iii)
August 2023 Common Stock Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 576 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2,896.00
to $3,684.00 per share. The June Class C Warrants, January 2024 Common Stock Warrants and August 2023 Common Stock Warrants are exercisable
for five years from the date of issuance until various dates in 2029 or 2028, respectively.
The Classwarrants C Warrants, January 2024 Common Stock Warrants
and August 2023 Common Stock Warrantsgenerally are generally only exercisable solely by
means of a cash exercise. AIn holdergeneral, holders of these warrants (together
with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of thesuch warrants toif thesuch extentholder, thattogether
with theits holderaffiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99%
(or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock
immediately after exercise. The common stock warrants include
certain rights upon a “fundamental transactionstransaction” (as describeddefined in thesuch warrants, warrants),
including the right of the holders thereof to
receive from us or a successor entity cash or the same type or form of consideration (and
in the same proportion) that is being offered
and paid to the holders of common stock in such fundamental transaction in the amount of
the Black Scholes value (as describeddefined in such
warrants) of the unexercised portion of the applicable warrants on the date of the consummation
of such fundamental transaction.
Although
these warrants are subject to beneficial
ownership limitations, upon exercise in full of the warrants, the shares issuable upon exercise
would represent a significant portion
of our outstanding common stock. As a result, the holders of these warrants may be able to exert
substantial influence over our business.
The concentration of voting power resulting from the exercise of the warrants could delay, defer
or prevent a change of control, or delay
or prevent a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us on terms
that other stockholders may desire. In
addition, conflicts of interest could arise in the future between us, on the one hand,us and the
holders of these warrants,warrants concerning the issuance of additional
securities and other matters. In addition, sales of these shares could
cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly.decline.
We
have registered the issuance of shares upon
exercise of these warrants under registration statements. As a result, the shares issuable
upon exercise of these warrants can be freely
sold in the public market upon issuance. Sales of these shares into the public market in the future could cause the market price
of our
common stock to decline significantly.decline. Furthermore, if our stock price rises, the holders of these warrants may be more likely
to exercise their warrants
and sell a large number of shares, whichparticularly if the price of our common stock substantially exceeds the exercise price of such warrants.
Such exercises, particularly if followed up with subsequent sales by the holders receiving shares of common stock, could negatively impact
the market price of our common stock and
reduce or eliminate any appreciation in our stock price that might otherwise occur.
Our common stock currently is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We are required to meet specified financial requirements in order to maintain such listing, including a requirement that the bid price for our common stock remain above $1.00, and that the market value of our publicly held securities be at least $1 million. In addition, Nasdaq has recently proposed a new $5 million market value of listed securities requirement that we would not currently satisfy and therefore could cause our common stock be delisted by Nasdaq on an imminent basis, if approved by the SEC.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the close of business on March 2, 2026, the most recent closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. was $2.05 per share. If the trading price were to fall below $1.00 per share, we would not be compliant this requirement. In such event, we would be subject to delisting, and because we consummated a reverse stock split in January 2026, we would be ineligible for any compliance period under recently implemented Nasdaq listing rules if this event occurred prior to the one-year anniversary of such reverse stock split. As a result, such a decline in the price of our common stock, if it were to occur, would be expected to result in the prompt delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In addition, Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(5) and 5550(b)(1) require that the market value of our publicly held common stock (which is our only outstanding class of capital stock) to be at least $1 million and that our stockholders’ equity as reported in our most recent quarterly balance sheet to be at least $2.5 million. As of the close of business on March 2, 2026, the market value of our publicly held common stock was approximately $2.0 million, and as of December 31, 2025, our stockholders’ equity was approximately $6.0 million. If the market value of our publicly held common stock declines below $1 million or our stockholders’ equity falls below $2.5 million, we would also be subject to Nasdaq delisting proceedings on that basis.
In addition to the foregoing requirements, Nasdaq has recently proposed a new listing requirement that would require each Nasdaq listed issuer to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of at least $5 million. Under this proposal, if the value of an issuer’s listed securities, as measured by each applicable trading day’s closing price, continues to be less than $5 million for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, the issuer’s securities would immediately be delisted, with no compliance or cure period. The proposed rule would also preclude an issuer’s ability to seek stay of delisting during any appeals process, and would preclude Nasdaq hearings panels from reversing the delisting determination to situations where there was an error and the company never actually failed to satisfy the requirement. The panel would also not be able to consider any facts indicating that issuer subsequently regained compliance with the requirement or grant an issuer any additional time to regain compliance. The proposed rule is subject to review and approval by the SEC, and it is unknown whether the SEC will approve the proposal. If approved by the SEC, the rule could become effective on an imminent basis. Our common stock currently trades at levels that are below the $5 million aggregate market value threshold proposed by Nasdaq. As such, if this proposal is approved by the SEC, our common stock could be imminently delisted by Nasdaq on this basis.
For
example, our existing engagement letter with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”) provides that until June 3, 2025, Aegis shall
have the right to act as sole book-running manager, sole underwriter, sole placement agent or sole agent, as applicable, if we decide
to finance any indebtedness or decide to raise funds by means of a public offering, private placement or any other capital raising financing
of equity, equity-linked or debt securities. If Aegis decides to accept such assignment, we are required to provide Aegis customary fees
for transactions of similar size and nature (but in no event less than the fees provided to Aegis in the transactions they advised the
Company on in mid-2024). It is possible that potential investors who would otherwise seek to invest in the Company will prefer to work
with other banks, in which case we may be unable to pursue such transaction unless Aegis declines its right of first refusal with respect
to such transaction.
The
placement agent from our August 2023 Registered Direct Offering and January 2024 Public Offering could assert that they are entitled
to a fee in connection with our June 2024 Public Offering.
In
August 2023, we entered into an engagement letter with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Prior Placement Agent”), which
was amended in October 2023, and pursuant to which the Prior Placement Agent served as the placement agent in our August 2023 public
offering, August 2023 private placement and January 2024 public offering. Pursuant to this engagement letter, we provided the Prior Placement
Agent a right of first refusal to serve as underwriter in any public offering or private placement we engaged in prior to January 2,
2025, and the right to receive compensation comparable to what it received in the August 2023 public offering and January 2024 public
offering (e.g., 7% of the gross proceeds of such an offering and additional warrants exercisable at 125% of the offering price) in connection
with such offering or placement. Prior to filing the registration statement with respect to our June 2024 public offering, we provided
the Prior Placement Agent the opportunity to serve as underwriter for that transaction and it declined such opportunity. While we believe
that the Prior Placement Agent is not entitled to any fees in connection with the June 2024 public offering given that it declined to
serve as underwriter, the Prior Placement Agent could assert that it is nevertheless entitled to compensation under a separate “tail”
provision included in the letter. While we believe such a position would be unreasonable and invalid, and we would intend to challenge
it, any such assertion that is ultimately successful could cause us to pay an addition substantial fee (such as up to 7% of the proceeds
from our June 2024 public offering) in connection with that offering.
Our
common stock currently is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We are required to meet specified financial requirements
in order to maintain such listing, including a requirement that the bid price for our common stock remain above $1.00, and that the market
value of our publicly held securities be at least $1 million.
Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital
Market. As of the close of business on March 17, 2025, the most recent closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
was $4.07 per share. If the trading price were to fall below $1.00 per share, we would not be compliant this requirement. In such
event, we would be subject to delisting, and because we consummated reverse stock splits during 2024 with a cumulative ratio of 1-for-400
(following an earlier reverse stock split in 2023 with a ratio of 1-for-20), we would be ineligible for any compliance period under recently
implemented Nadsaq listing rules if this event occurred prior to June 20, 2026. As a result, such a decline in the price of our common
stock, if it were to occur, would be expected to result in the prompt delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In
addition, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) requires the market value of our publicly held common stock (which is our only outstanding class
of capital stock) to be at least $1 million. As of the close of business on March 17, 2025, such market value of our publicly held common
stock was approximately $1.7 million. If the market value of our publicly held common stock declines below $1 million, we would also
be subject to Nasdaq delisting proceedings on that basis.
To preserve cash resources, we downsized our organization in 2025, which may reduce business continuity, affect our ability to apply for certain patents, and affect our product development and timelines.
To preserve cash resources, we implemented a series of cost savings measures in 2025 related to our product development operations. As of the date of this filing, we have reduced our overall Company-wide full-time employee headcount to 6 persons. To the extent we obtain sufficient funding, we may hire appropriate personnel in the future to expedite our commercialization efforts, but there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.
We
are effectively a new business with a plan
to commercialize our licensed technology. Our limited operating history may not be adequate
to enable you to fully assess our ability
to develop and market our Symphony platform and test cartridges, assuming we receive regulatory
clearances, for which there is no assurance,
and respond to competition. Our efforts to date have related to the organization and formation
of our Company, research and development
and performing clinical trials. We have no approved products, have not yet generated sustainable
revenue, and we cannot guarantee we will
ever be able to generate future revenues. Therefore, we are, and expect for the foreseeable
future to be, subject to all the risks and
uncertainties, inherent in a new business focused on the development and sale of new medical
devices. As a result, we may be unable to
further develop, obtain regulatory approvalclearance for, manufacture, market, sell and derive revenues
from our Symphony platform and test cartridges
and the other product candidates in our pipeline, and our inability to do so would materially
and adversely impact our viability. In addition,
we still must optimize many functions necessary to operate a business, including expanding
our managerial, personnel and administrative
structure, continuing product research and development, and assessing and commencing our
marketing activities.
Our
license and supply agreements with Toray, which relate
to the license of the core technology used in our Symphony Cartridgescartridges and the
supply of cartridge intermediates from Toray to SanyoSeiko for SanyoSeikoSanyoseiko to manufacture cartridges for Bluejay, are subject
to significant
risks that may threaten our viability or otherwise have a material adverse effect on us and our business, assets and its
prospects.
We
have an exclusive license with Toray for the
entire world, excluding Japan, to use their patents and know-how related to our Symphony
test cartridges for the manufacturing, marketing
and sale of such products. We also have a nonexclusive license for manufacturing purposes
in Japan. We have a right to sublicense these
Toray patents and know-how (upon either (a) obtaining consent from Toray prior to obtaining
FDA approvalclearance or (b) giving notice to Toray
after obtaining FDA approvalclearance), and for the purpose of obtaining FDA approval,clearance, we will need
to exercise this sublicence to have the cartridges
manufactured for Bluejay by a Japanese manufacturer, SanyoSeiko,Sanyoseiko, Inc. (“SanyoSeikoSanyoseiko”).
We have no contractual rights to the
intellectual property covered in the license agreement other than as expressly set forth therein.
Our plans, business, prospects and viability
are substantially dependent on that intellectual property and subject to the limitations
relating thereto as set forth in the license
agreement. Some of the risks this may give rise to are described below.

There
is a risk that our cartridges, a core component
of our Symphony system, will not pass analytical validation due to failures in performance.
We are working on plans to redevelop the cartridges in order to reduce
this risk, but we cannot be sure that our attempts will be successful
until they have been tested and have successfully passed analytical
validation themselves.
We
are currently only pursuing one aspect of analytical validation and we cannot be certain how long the remaining tests will take us.
Analytical
validation is comprised of a series of studies to validate test performance by testing precision, reproducibility, interference, linearity,
detection capability, high-dose hook, hematocrit tolerance, specimen stability, cartridge stability, sample carry-over, reference range,
and matrix comparison. Currently, we are only pursuing specimen stability and have paused all other analytical testing until the Symphony
IL-6 redevelopment and manufacturing transfer has been completed and Symphony IL-6 cartridges are available, which we expect will not
occur sooner than the end of 2026. Uncertainties in the timeline make it difficult for us to precisely forecast when we will be able
to move on to the rest of the FDA-required studies needed in order to gain approval for our product.

safety validations required by the FDA. However, we plan to reperform some of the validations

if we receive regulatory approvals,clearances, we are
faced with the risk that our Symphony platform will not be accepted over competing products

or compete effectively. We cannot assure you that our Symphony platform or test cartridges
will gain market acceptance. If the market
for our future products fails to develop or develops more slowly than expected, or if any
of the technology and standards supported by
us do not achieve or sustain market acceptance, our business and operating results would
be materially and adversely affected.
We may be faced with lengthy and unpredictable customer evaluation and approval processes associated with our Symphony platform. Consequently, we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management effort and expense in developing customer adoption of our Symphony platform, which may not result in revenue generation. We must also obtain regulatory clearances or approvals of our Symphony platform and test cartridges in jurisdictions in which we pursue approvals, which is subject to risk and potential delays. The same risks apply to other tests we may develop based on our Symphony platform. As such, we cannot accurately predict the volume, if any, or timing of any future sales.
In addition, we may utilize third party technology or components in our products, and we rely on those third parties to provide support services to us. The existence of errors, defects, or bugs in third party technology or components, or the failure of those third parties to provide necessary support services to us, could materially adversely impact on our business.
We
believe that our management team must be able
to act decisively to apply and adapt our business model in the markets in which we will
compete. Our future performance depends to a large
extent on the continued services of membersservice of our current management, including our
President and Chief Executive Officer, Neil Dey, andwho is our Chiefsole Technologyexecutive Officer, Jason Cook.officer. In addition,
we rely upon technical and
scientific employees or third-party contractors to effectively establish, manage and grow our business. Consequently,
we believe that
our future viability will depend largely on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, scientific
and technical
personnel.
In
order to do so, we may need to pay higher compensation
or fees to our employees or consultants than we currently expect, and such higher
compensation payments would have a negative effect on
our operating results. Competition for experienced, high-quality personnel is intense
and we cannot assure that we will be able to recruit
and retain such personnel, or that we will possess the cash resources to do so.
For example, our limited cash resources have caused us
to reduce our overall full-time employment headcount to 76 persons, and we could
need to implement further personnel-related cost reductions
in the near-term.future. As such, we may not be able to hire or retain the necessary
personnel to implement our business strategy. For example,
Mr. Dey is currently serving as our principal financial and accounting officer,
in addition to serving as our principal executive officer.
Our failure to hire and retain such personnel could impair our ability to
develop new products and manage our business effectively. In
the event that we lose the continued services of such key personnel for
any reason, this could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operations and prospects.
If
we are not able to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, scientific and technical personnel, we may not be able to implement
our business model successfully, and our limited cash resources could require us to make further cost reductions.

incentivize our directors and employees with non-cash
compensation, and even if we possessed such available shares, the substantial declines
in the value of our common stock in each of the
prior three years may substantially depress the desired incentive effects of using such
shares for compensatory purposes. We believe
that stock incentive plans serve to closely align the interests of directors and officers
with the interests of the Company’s shareholders,
and without this tool we are left paying all compensation in cash. InGiving 2024,effect

at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders to reload the shares available under our equity incentive plans, but there is no assurance
that such proposal will be approved by stockholders.
Specific
raw materials used in the production
of Symphony IL-6 cartridges are being discontinued or are otherwise limited in supply and the process
of finding a suitable substitute could be expensive, use important
resources, reduce the efficacy of the platform, or lead to other delays
and setbacks.
Several
Certain raw materials used in production of Symphony
IL-6 cartridges are being discontinued and we willmight need to be validate new materials to use
as substitutes. These materials include hydrophobic
coating solution, side film plastic laminate, and antibody. Testing new raw materials
at themight same time that we are testing to discover the previously discussed instability in the product introduces additional variables
that could make it more difficult for us to discover the source of the instability, addingadd extra expense and delay. We cannot currently
predict what substitute materials will be found to work for the discontinued ones, whether they will perform as well, their availability,
or their precise cost.
We
do not currently have sufficient supply to or know-how from Toray to reproduce the capture antibody in the Symphony IL-6 cartridges.
The
procedures Toray has provided to us on manufacture of the capture antibody we use in our product are incomplete. To address this, we
plan to develop manufacturing process for or procure from third-party vendor the immunogen source. We plan to use industry-standard polyclonal
antibody manufacturing using this immunogen. If we are unable to do so, we expect that we would need to find a substitute that is different
from Toray’s original design. We expect that it could currently take over one year for us to complete work on the capture antibody,
and any additional delay would further increase our expected timeline to FDA approval and commercialization further into the future,
and require additional funding beyond the amount that we currently forecast.
We
might not be able to discoverresolve the underlying causecertain

We

Our relationships with customers, health care professionals, and patients may be subject to applicable healthcare laws, which could expose us to penalties, including administrative, civil or criminal penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment, exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, reputational harm, the curtailment or restructuring of our operations and diminished future profits and earnings.
Healthcare professionals will play a primary role in the recommendation and use of any product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval and commercialize. Our current and future arrangements with customers, healthcare professionals, and patients may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we conduct research, market, sell and distribute any products for which we obtain marketing approval. Federal and state healthcare laws and regulations that may affect our operations, directly or indirectly, include the following, among others:
Efforts to comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. Interpretations of standards of compliance under these laws and regulations are rapidly changing and subject to varying interpretations and it is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other laws that may apply to us, we may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, reputational harm, imprisonment, additional reporting obligations and oversight (if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws), and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could diminish our future profits or earnings. If any of the physicians or other providers or entities with whom we expect to do business are found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded healthcare programs.
Healthcare legislative reform measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, future revenue, if any, and results of operations.

Deemed dividend on warrant modification
Upon stockholder approval of the issuance of Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants on August 21, 2024, the Class C Warrants, which had an initial exercise price of $392.00 per share of common stock, were adjusted to be exercisable at an exercise price of $65.20 per share and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise was proportionately increased to 343,146 shares. Concurrently, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrants increased to four shares per warrant for the remaining unexercised warrants. In connection with the reset in the exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to exercise of the Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants, we recorded a deemed dividend of $13,223,053 based on the excess of the fair value of the modified Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants over the fair value of the Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants before the modification, the effect of which was an increase in the net loss attributable to common shareholders in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

August
2023 Offering
On
August 24, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchase
Agreement”) relating to the registered direct offering and sale of 540 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase
price of $2,946.00 per share (the “Offering”).
In
a concurrent private placement, the Company also issued to such institutional and accredited investors unregistered warrants to purchase
up to 540 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, for each share of Common
Stock issued in this offering an accompanying Warrant was issued to the purchaser thereof. Each Warrant is exercisable for one share
of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $2,896.00 per share, will be immediately exercisable upon
issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Warrants were offered and sold at a purchase price of $50.00 per underlying
warrant share, which purchase price is included in the offering price per share of Common Stock issued in the Offering (the “Private
Placement”).
Pursuant
to an engagement letter, dated as of August 7, 2023, between the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or the placement agent,
the Company paid the placement agent a total cash fee of $111,359 equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received in the Offering and the
Private Placement. The Company also agreed to pay the placement agent in connection with the Offering and the Private Placement a management
fee equal to $15,908 or 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering and Private Placement, $45,000 for non-accountable expenses,
and $15,950 for clearing fees. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the placement agent, or its designees, warrants to purchase
up to 36 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), which represents 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock sold in the Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants, except that the
Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $3,684.00, or 125% of the offering price per share of Common Stock sold in the
Offering, and a term of five years from the commencement of the sales pursuant to the Offering.
The
gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering and the Private Placement are $1,590,840. The Company incurred offering costs of $413,544.
January 2024 Public Offering
On
January 2, 2024, the Company sold in a public
offering (such transaction, the “January 2024 Offering”) (i) 1,344336 shares of
the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per sharestock and (ii) prefunded
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 5,3861,346 shares
of Commoncommon Stockstock (the “January Prefunded Warrants”). The Shares and January
Prefunded Warrants were sold together with warrants
to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,7301,682 shares of Commoncommon Stockstock at an exercise price
of $520.00$2,080.00 per share (the “January 2024 Warrants”).
The combined public offering price was $520.00$2,080.00 per share of Common Stockcommon
stock and related January 2024 Warrant and $519.96$2,079.84 per January Prefunded
Warrant and related January 2024 Warrant.
April 2025 Private Placement
On April 7, 2025, the Company entered into inducement letter agreements with certain existing holders of the Company’s Class C Warrants, pursuant to which such holders agreed to purchase an aggregate of 271,277 shares of the Company’s common stock (or, to the extent the applicable holder would have exceeded a specified beneficial ownership limitation, prefunding the future exercise of such warrants, other than a remaining $0.0004 per share exercise price). The Class C Warrants were originally issued on June 28, 2024 for an exercise price of $392.00 per share and were subsequently reduced to $65.20 per share pursuant to stockholder approval on August 21, 2024. Pursuant to the inducement letter agreements, the applicable holders agreed to exercise their Series C Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $13.68 per share, and to purchase an equivalent number of new Class E Warrants for an additional $0.50 per share. The Class E Warrants have an exercise price of $13.68 per share and expire on April 8, 2030.
The transaction closed on April 8, 2025. The exercise of the Class C Warrants resulted in the Company issuing 170,551 shares of common stock at closing pursuant to the inducement letters, and the exercise price of 100,726 of the Class C Warrants being amended to 0.0004 per share. As of December 31, all such reduced exercise price Class C Warrants had been exercised.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Class C Warrants and the sale of the new Class E Warrants were $3,846,692 million. The Company incurred total offering costs of $464,670, including a 10% financial advisory fee to Aegis Capital Corp. of $384,670.
The modification of the terms or conditions of the Class C Warrants in this transaction is treated as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. Using the Black Scholes option pricing model, the fair value of the Series C Warrants immediately prior to the inducement transaction was $479,299 and immediately after the inducement transaction was $1,590,930. In addition, Series E Warrants with a fair value of $1,730,652 were provided as part of the inducement transaction for a purchase price of $135,638. The Company recorded additional equity issuance costs of $2,706,645 related to the modification of the Series C Warrants and issuance of Series E Warrants related to the inducement transaction. As this equity issuance cost was a non-cash transaction, the Company recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital to offset the expense.
October 2025 Private Placement
On October 9, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two institutional investors pursuant to which the Company sold in a private placement (i) an aggregate of 43,750 shares of common stock and prefunded warrants to purchase up to 518,750 shares of common stock (the “October 2025 Prefunded Warrants”), and (ii) Series F warrants (the “Series F Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,125,000 shares of common stock. The combined price of the securities sold in the private placement was $8.00 per share of common stock (or prefunded warrant in lieu thereof, in which case such price was reduced by $0.0004) and accompanying Series F Warrants to acquire two shares of common stock. The October 2025 Prefunded Warrants, were exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0004 per share and were immediately exercisable, have all been fully exercised as of the date hereof. The Series F Warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance.
The transaction closed on October 10, 2025. The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the securities sold in the private placement were approximately $4.5 million. The Company incurred total offering costs of $787,755, including a 8% financial advisory fee to Rodman and Renshaw LLC (“Rodman”), the placement agent, of approximately $360,000. Under the terms of the Company’s engagement letter with Rodman, the Company issue Rodman’s designees warrants to purchase up to 45,000 of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which expire 5.5 years from the date of issuance (the “October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”).
In connection with this private placement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3, which became effective on November 26, 2025, to register 1,732,500 shares of common stock (including any shares of common stock issued in the future pursuant to the Series F Warrants or October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants) for resale in public markets.

Our common stock currently is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We are required to meet specified financial requirements in order to maintain such listing, including a requirement that the bid price for our common stock remains above $1.00. In addition, a Nasdaq proposal establishing a new continued listing requirement that all Nasdaq-listed companies maintain a minimum value of listed securities of $5 million is currently under review and consideration by the SEC. Currently, the market value of our common stock is near this proposed threshold, and we therefore could be at risk of failing to meet this requirement and being delisted if this proposal is ultimately approved and our market capitalization does not stay above the proposed $5 million threshold.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the close of business on August 7, 2026, the most recent closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. was $1.07 per share. If the trading price of our common stock closes below $1.00 for more than 30 consecutive trading days, we will not be compliant this requirement. In such event, we would be subject to delisting, and because we consummated a reverse stock split in January 2026, we would be ineligible for any compliance period under recently implemented Nasdaq listing rules if this event occurred prior to the one-year anniversary of such reverse stock split.
In addition, on July 22, 2026, the staff of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets, acting pursuant to delegated authority, approved a Nasdaq proposal establishing a new continued listing requirement that all Nasdaq-listed companies maintain a minimum value of listed securities of $5 million, and providing that companies not meeting this standard will be delisted if they fail to meet this requirement for 30 consecutive trading days. On July 29, 2026, the full SEC stayed approval of the rule so that the full SEC may further consider whether the rule should be approved, and the proposed rule is therefore currently not effective. At the present time, the market value of our outstanding common stock is near the threshold that would be implemented if the rule were approved, and we therefore could be at risk of failing to meet this requirement and being delisted on that basis if the rule is ultimately approved and our market capitalization does not stay above the proposed $5 million threshold.

doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
