The quarter's massive loss stems from a non-cash accounting charge: the fair value of warrants issued in the June 2026 private placement exceeded the offering proceeds by $34.1 million. This is not a cash outflow, but it reflects the highly dilutive terms of the financing. The company raised $10.2 million in net proceeds, which management says funds operations for the next twelve months. However, the balance sheet shows a working capital deficit of $36.3 million and total derivative liabilities of $48 million, underscoring the company's precarious financial position. The subsequent increase in authorized shares to 550 million signals potential for further dilution.
