• Successful $20 Million U.S. IPO

  The company completed an Initial Public Offering in the United States on April 23, 2026, raising gross proceeds of $19,999,925. Common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol 'DETX' on April 22, 2026, at a price of $4.50 per share, with pre-funded warrants also issued at $4.4999.

• Going Concern Warning Addressed

  Despite incurring a $14.1 million net loss and $11.3 million in cash outflows from operations in 2025, the company states that the IPO proceeds are sufficient to sustain operations for the next twelve months, resolving the immediate going concern issue.

• Significant 2025 Financial Losses

  For the year ended December 31, 2025, the company reported a net loss of $14.1 million (up from $8.8 million in 2024) and a decrease in revenue to $1.5 million (from $2.4 million in 2024), resulting in a working capital deficiency of $4.9 million.

• Reverse Stock Split Preceded IPO

  A one-for-forty-five reverse stock split was approved on March 3, 2026, and became effective on March 13, 2026, retroactively adjusting all share and per-share amounts in the financial statements.

This 6-K filing provides the audited annual financial results for 2025, which show significant losses and a going concern warning. However, the most critical update is the successful completion of a $20 million Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the U.S. on April 23, 2026, as a subsequent event. This substantial capital raise, representing nearly 90% of the company's current market capitalization, is explicitly stated by management as sufficient to sustain operations for the next twelve months, effectively resolving the immediate going concern risk. The IPO followed a 1-for-45 reverse stock split in March 2026, likely to facilitate the NASDAQ listing. Investors should note the ongoing liquidity risk related to competing security interests on company assets, which remains a potential concern despite the new funding.
