Key Risk Factors
The Company faces substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, with historical operating losses and negative cash flows necessitating significant additional capital for foreseeable operations. Revenue declined significantly during the period with six-month revenue of $952,866 compared to $2,599,836 in the prior year, while operating expenses increased to $3,904,623 from $2,391,108, resulting in a six-month net loss of $5,379,685. The Company has substantial outstanding debt obligations totaling approximately $1.8 billion in current liabilities as of April 30, 2026, with certain notes becoming due upon offering completion and carrying acceleration provisions upon default.
