Note 2 – Liquidity, Plan of Operations and Going Concern

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each period since its inception. Through December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $199,824. The Company’s net loss for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $24,251 and $22,942, respectively.

The Company expects operating expenses to be lower in the near term compared to recent years until such time as additional funding is secured to support initiation of the Phase 3 registration trial for MAT2203 and advancement of the LNC platform delivery technology. The Company expects that its research and development expenses will increase if it moves forward with additional clinical studies for its current product candidates and development of additional product candidates. If the Company obtains U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for one or more of its product candidates, the Company expects that its expenses will continue to increase once the Company reaches commercial launch. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future, and that these losses will be increasing.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,284 and restricted cash of $250. In addition, during the second quarter of 2025, the Company generated net proceeds of $3,020 from the sale of Preferred Stock (see Note 17). The Company does not believe that the cash and cash equivalents on hand are sufficient to fund planned operations beyond the next twelve months from the filing date of these financial statements. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon securing one or more partners to monetize the value of MAT2203, the ability to control its operating expenses, future sales of common stock through the At-The-Market Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC and securing additional financing. While the Company believes in the viability of this strategy and believes the actions presently being taken by the Company provide the opportunity for it to continue as a going concern, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its implementation. In particular, utilization of the Sales Agreement may not be viable due to market conditions and new financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Moreover, under the terms of the Preferred Stock sales agreement, the Company is prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from issuing, entering into any agreement to issue, or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents until November 2025. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
