• The company intends to use the proceeds from warrant exercises, if any, for general corporate purposes.

Sentiment

Score: 5

Explanation: The document presents a mix of positive and negative information. While it highlights the potential of the company's technology and future plans, it also acknowledges significant financial losses, dependence on future funding, and risks associated with market competition and regulatory hurdles. The delisting from Nasdaq is a significant negative factor.

Positives

• The registration allows selling securityholders to potentially monetize their holdings.
• The company may receive proceeds from the exercise of PIPE Warrants, which would be used for general corporate purposes.

Negatives

• The company will not receive proceeds from the resale of shares by selling securityholders.
• The company's common stock is trading on the OTC Pink Sheets after Nasdaq delisting, which may reduce liquidity and investor interest.

Risks

• Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market, including the resale of the PIPE Shares, ICR Shares and PIPE Warrant Shares held by our stockholders pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ( Rule 144 ), could occur at any time.
• These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of Common Stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of the Common Stock and make it more difficult for you to sell your holdings at times and prices that you determine are appropriate.
• Shares of Common Stock held by certain of our stockholders, including the Selling Securityholders, were purchased at an effective price lower than the current market price of our Common Stock.
• Accordingly, such stockholders could sell their securities at a per-share price that is less than the purchase price other stockholders paid and still realize a significant profit from the sale of those securities that could not be realized by our other stockholders.
• Furthermore, we expect that, because there is a large number of shares being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the Selling Securityholders will continue to offer the securities covered thereby pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144 for a significant period of time, the precise duration of which cannot be predicted.
• Accordingly, the adverse market and price pressures resulting from an offering pursuant to the registration statement may continue for an extended period of time.

Future Outlook

The company anticipates its losses will continue to increase from current levels because it expects to incur additional costs related to developing its business, including research and development costs, manufacturing costs, employee-related costs, costs of complying with government regulations, intellectual property development and prosecution costs, marketing and promotion costs, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses, and costs associated with operating as a public company.
