This amended 10-K addresses a material compliance issue by including the previously omitted Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, along with new certifications. While the original 10-K filed on March 30, 2026, already disclosed a "going concern" for 2025 and ineffective internal controls, the inclusion of the 2024 auditor's report further reinforces the company's long-standing financial challenges and the auditor's doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company has been actively engaged in dilutive financings and product development, but its significant net losses and accumulated deficit continue to pose substantial risks.
