Verified excerpt

"As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern."

Quoted from the filing. Source

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.

Going-concern opinion issued by: KPMG LLP
