"In the report by our auditor dated March 19, 2026, the auditor expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern."

What this means

The filing states that substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern: it may not have enough cash to last the next 12 months. Expect dilution, debt deals or worse. An auditor's going-concern paragraph is the strongest form of this warning.
