To regain compliance, the Company submitted a plan (the “Plan”) advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with theNYSE American’scontinued listing standards by August 6, 2027. If the NYSE American determines to accept the Plan, the Company will be notified in writing and will be subject to periodic reviews, including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the Plan.

The delisting of our common stock could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, reduce the amount of analyst coverage of our securities, result in the loss of confidence by investors and employees, and could lead to fewer business development opportunities, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Servicing our existing and future debt, including the Lind Notes, may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our indebtedness.
On May 20, 2025, we issued a secured convertible note to Lind Global Asset Management XII LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lind”), which has a principal amount of $7,500,000 (the “2025 Lind Note”) and an accompanying common stock purchase warrant. On January 15, 2026, we issued an additional secured convertible note to Lind which has a principal amount of $2,400,000 (the “2026 Lind Note”) and an accompanying common stock purchase warrant. The 2025 Lind Note and the 2026 Lind Note are collectively referred to as the “Lind Notes”. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including the Lind Notes (which Notes permit us to elect to use shares of common stock for repayments in lieu of cash under certain circumstances), depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. We may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance any future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 7, 2026, by and between the Company and Lind (the “Lind Securities Purchase Agreement”), and the Lind Notes contain, and any of our future debt agreements may contain, restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our debt.
The diagnostics market is extremely competitive and characterized by rapidly evolving industry standards and new product enhancements. Our diagnostic tests are technologically innovative and require significant planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels. These activities require significant capital commitments and investment. There can be no assurance that our intended products or proprietary technologies will remain competitive following the introduction of new products and technologies by competing companies within the industry.industry, including competitors’ use of artificial intelligence (“AI”). AI is increasingly being used across the diagnostics market, including by our competitors, which presents risks to our competitive position. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not develop products that render our future products obsolete or that are more effective, accurate or can be produced at lower costs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from new technologies or products introduced by existing companies in the industry or by new companies entering the market.
The market for diagnostics is also significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our competitors include large multinational corporations and their operating units, including Exact Sciences Corporation, Guardant Health, GRAIL Inc., Freenome Holdings Inc, CellMax Life, Archer DX Inc., Foundation Medicine Inc., Oncocyte Corporation, OpKo Health Inc., MDNA Life Sciences Inc., Abbott Laboratories Inc., Cepheid Inc., Hologic Corporation, Agilent Technologies Inc., Qiagen Inc., Thermo Fisher, Illumina, Becton Dickinson, BioMerieux, Siemens, Gen-Probe Incorporated, EpiGenomics AG, MDxHealth SA, Roche Diagnostics, Cytovale Inc. and Immunexpress Inc., and from companies such as One Health Company (Fidocure) and focused on the veterinary space. There may also be other companies developing products competitive with ours of which we are unaware. Successful commercialization of our services will require that we satisfactorily address the needs of various medical practitioners that constitute a target market to reach customers and to address potential resistance to recommendations for our services. If we are unable to continue to achieve significant market penetration, we will not be able to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable and our products may become obsolete.
Our business is dependent not only on our ability to successfully develop and commercialize diagnostic products.products but also the ability of our licensing partners. If we/they fail to develop and commercialize diagnostic products, we may be unable to execute our plan of operations.
Access to human and animal sample types, such as bloodblood, is necessary for our research and product development. Acquiring samples from individuals / animals with clinical diagnoses or associated clinical outcomes through purchase or clinical studies is necessary. Lack of available samples can delay development timelines and increase costs of development. Generally, the agreements under which we gain access to human and animal samples are non-exclusive. Other companies may compete with us for access. If we are not able to negotiate access to clinical samples with research institutions, hospitals, clinical partners, pharmaceutical companies, or companies developing therapeutics and/or diagnostics on a timely basis, or at all, or if other laboratories or our competitors secure access to these samples before us, our ability to research, develop and commercialize future products will be limited or delayed. Equally, we may not be able to conduct or complete clinical studies in a timely manner if we are unable to enroll sufficient numbers of patients in such studies, which could consequently have an adverse effect on our research and development and product commercialization efforts.
We rely on third parties to clinically validate manufacture and supply our intended products. Any problems experienced by these third parties could result in a delay or interruption in the supply of our intended products to our customers, which could have a material negative effect on our business.
We depend, and expect to continue to depend, on third-party distributors to market, sell, and service our products in our intended markets. For example, Antech has commenced pre-order sales of our Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test for screening of cancer in canines to veterinarians at the point of care and we engaged IDEXX to make our Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test available to reference laboratories in the United States. Further, we have engaged with others including DNAtech, Portugal, and, through our agreement with Antech, with Scil Lab Europe, to launch the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test to customers in Europe. In November 2023, we launched the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test in the UK and Ireland through our distributor, the Veterinary Pathology Group, and in the UK through Nationwide Laboratories. Our test is also available in Japan through Fujifilm Vet Systems Co. Ltd, a leading provider of veterinary testing services in Japan. We are subject to a number of risks associated with reliance upon these parties and other third-party distributorsdistributors, including the following:
We are subject to regulation by the FDA in the United States, the CE in Europe, the CFDANMPA in China, and other regulatory bodies in other countries where we intend to sell our future products. Before we are able to place our intended products in the clinical IVD markets in the United States, China and Europe, we will be required to obtain clearance or approval of our future products from the FDA and the CFDANMPA with respect to the United States and China, respectively, and receive a CE mark with respect to Europe. In Europe, since May 2022, IVD medical devices are regulated by the new EU IVDR. The most challenging changes under the EU IVDR as compared to the previous Directive are those regarding the classification of products, which brings almost all IVDs under the direct review and control of Notified Bodies, and the performance evaluation of IVDs, which requires extensive clinical and analytical performance studies in addition to a demonstration of scientific validity. These changes and other additional requirements to obtain a CE Mark could result in delays and further expense, in terms of staff costs to us compared to the process under the previous Directive.
If we fail to complyregain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE American. The continued listing of our common stock on the NYSE American is subject to our continued compliance with certain listing requirements, including requirements related to corporate governance, our financial condition and operating results, the trading price of our common stock, number of stockholders and our market capitalization. IfOn February 6, 2026, we fallreceived outa notice of non-compliance from the NYSE American stating that we are not in compliance with continued listing standards of Section 1003(a)(i), Section 1003(a)(ii), and Section 1003(a)(iii). To regain compliance, the Company submitted a plan (the “Plan”) advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the NYSE American’scontinued listing standards by August 6, 2027. If the NYSE American determines to accept the Plan, the Company will be notified in writing and will be subject to periodic reviews, including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the Plan.

Lind has conversion rights under each of the Lind Notes, the exercise of which could result in the issuance of a substantial amount of our common stock at a significant discount to the trading price of our common stock.
The 2025 Lind Note and the 2026 Lind Note are convertible at Lind’s option into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.72 per share and $0.5714 per share, respectively, subject to any adjustments set forth in the Lind Notes. However, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Lind Notes), the Company will be obligated to pay Lind an amount equal to either 110% or 120% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the applicable Lind Note depending on the nature of the Event of Default, and Lind may declare such Lind Note due and payable, in addition to any other remedies under the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Lind Securities Purchase Agreement). Additionally, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time may result in an Event of Default, Lind may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Lind Note at the lower of (i) the then-current Conversion Price (as defined in the Lind Notes) and (ii) ninety-percent (90%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAPs during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the delivery of the notice of conversion, which could significantly dilute our stockholders. If we experience an Event of Default under either of the Lind Notes, we may experience a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our board of directors has the power, under our chartercorporate governance documents to:
In addition to shares of common stock issuable upon conversion and repayment of the Lind Notes, as of February 28, 2026 we also had outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 62,137,692 shares of common stock at varying exercise prices.

Our future as an operating business will depend on our ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions, financing and/or generate revenues as may be required to sustain our operations. Management plans to address the above as needed by: (a) securing additional grant funds; (b) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity transactions; (b) securing additional grant funding; (c) granting licenses to third parties in exchange for specified up-front and/or back-end payments; and (d) developing and commercializing our products on an accelerated timeline. Management continues to exercise tight cost controls to conserve cash.

We may seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities if we deem it desirable or necessary.

However, we may be unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the terms of such securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our business.
We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experiences, information from third-party professionals and various other factors that itwe believesbelieve to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.
