Analysis · DARE · Life Sciences
Dare Bioscience's Q2 2026 10-Q reveals substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months. Cash of $12.6 million is entirely restricted to grant-funded projects, leaving a working capital deficit of $0.2 million. The company faces a Nasdaq delisting hearing in late August 2026 after stockholders' equity fell below $2.5 million. The FDA approved an Ovaprene protocol amendment but cautioned it may not generate sufficient safety evidence for approval. These combined risks threaten the company's listing and its ability to fund operations.
