Improved Cash Runway to Six Months
The company's cash on hand of $754,990 as of March 31, 2026, after accounting for the $600,000 cash payment for the Flipside AI acquisition, is projected to sustain operations for a maximum of six months, an improvement from the three months reported in the prior quarter.

This quarterly report highlights Nexscient's continued financial distress, marked by persistent going concern doubt and critical internal control deficiencies. While the company has improved its cash runway to six months (post-acquisition cash payment) and reduced operational cash burn, the need for a dilutive private placement at a deep discount underscores its precarious financial position. The material weaknesses in internal controls are a significant red flag for investors, indicating potential risks in financial reporting reliability.
