Insider trading around this filing

90 days before the flag: no open-market insider sales or purchases reported.
30 days after: none reported.

Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-12-26 to 2026-04-25. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.

Verified excerpt

"As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the entity has an accumulated deficit of approximately $294 million and $296 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and has suffered losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its 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.
