The company's net losses and working capital deficit have worsened, while cash burn from operations increased. Critically, management identified material weaknesses in internal controls, raising concerns about financial reporting reliability. The company continues to rely on highly dilutive share issuances, including to related parties, for capital, with over 17% of current outstanding shares either recently issued or pending issuance, and over 100% potential dilution from authorized shares.
