1. | ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS, GOING CONCERN AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Organization
SmartKem, Inc. (the “Company”) formerly known as Parasol Investments Corporation (“Parasol”), was formed on May 13, 2020, and is the successor of SmartKem Limited, which was formed under the Laws of England and Wales. The Company was founded as a “shell” company registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with no specific business plan or purpose until it began operating the business of SmartKem Limited following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated February 21, 2021, with SmartKem Limited. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement all of the equity interests in SmartKem Limited, except certain deferred shares which had no economic or voting rights and which were purchased by Parasol for an aggregate purchase price of $
Business
The Company is seeking to reshape the world of electronics with its disruptive organic thin-film transistors (“OTFTs”) that have the potential to revolutionize the display industry. The Company’s patented TRUFLEX® liquid semiconductor polymers are used to make a new type of transistor that can be used in a number of display technologies including next generation microLED displays. The Company’s inks enable low temperature printing processes that are compatible with existing manufacturing infrastructure to deliver low-cost displays that outperform existing technology. The Company develops its materials at its research and development facility in Manchester, UK and provides prototyping services at the Centre for Process Innovation (“CPI”) at Sedgefield, UK. The Company entered into a technology transfer agreement (TTA) with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan for product prototyping on its Gen2.5 fabrication line and it also has a field application office in Taiwan. The Company has an extensive IP portfolio including 125 granted patents across 19 patent families and 40 codified trade secrets.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including the risk of failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan. The Company is subject to risks that are common to companies in the development stage, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third party manufacturers, protection of proprietary technology and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The Company has access under a framework agreement to equipment which is used in the manufacturing of demonstrator products employing the Company’s inks. If the Company lost access to this fabrication facility, it would materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to manufacture prototypes and demonstrate products for potential customers. The loss of this access could significantly impede the Company’s ability to engage in product development and process improvement activities. Alternative providers of similar services exist but would take effort and time to bring into the Company’s operations.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred continuing losses including net losses of $
The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents of $

its operations and research development activity thereafter. It is possible this period could be shortened if there are any significant increases in spending or more rapid progress of development programs than anticipated.
The Company’s future viability is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations. The Company will need to obtain additional funds to satisfy its operational needs and to fund its sales and marketing efforts, research and development expenditures, and business development activities. Until such time, if ever, as the Company can generate sufficient cash through revenue, management’s plans are to finance the Company’s working capital requirements through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s existing security holders will likely experience dilution. If the Company borrows money, the incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict its operations. If the Company enters into a collaboration, strategic alliance or other similar arrangement, it may be forced to give up valuable rights. There can be no assurance however that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the market demand for the Company’s products and services, the quality of product development efforts, management of working capital, and continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of services. If the Company is unable to substantially increase revenues, reduce expenditures, or otherwise generate cash flows for operations, then the Company will need to raise additional funding.
There is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to pay its obligations as they fall due, and this substantial doubt is not alleviated by management plans. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2024 and may also be found on the Company’s website (www.smartkem.com). In these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements the terms “us,” “we” or “our” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts are presented in thousands, except number of shares and per share data.
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023; however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report have been condensed or omitted as permitted by GAAP. It is important to note that the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows to be expected for a full fiscal year or any interim period.

Reverse Stock Split
All share numbers and per share amounts presented in these financial statements, including these footnotes reflect a
(1:35) reverse stock split effected on September 21, 2023.2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Other than the policies listed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as set forth in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report.
The Company records, when necessary, deemed dividends for: (i) the exchange of preferred shares for pre-funded warrants, based on the fair value of the pre-funded warrants in excess of the carrying value of the preferred shares and (ii) the amendment of preferred stock accounted for as an extinguishment, based on the fair value of the preferred stock immediately before and after the amendments.
Management’s Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of common stock, fair value of stock options and fair value of warrant liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which will require companies to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The pronouncement is effective for annual filings for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is still assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to provide more detailed income tax disclosures. For public business entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is still assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Reverse Stock Split
At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 25, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock, issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance, at a specific ratio within a range from 1-for-

There were an additional
The Company had accounted for the Class A and Class B Warrants as derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company classified the Warrants as a liability because they could be considered indexed to the Company’s stock due to provisions that, in certain circumstances, adjust the number of shares to be issued if the exercise price is adjusted and the existence of a pre-specified volatility input to the Black-Scholes calculation which could be used to calculate consideration in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the agreements. Upon the Company’s May 31, 2024 uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market the provisions relating to the adjustment in the number of shares were no longer in effect. Additionally, the Company re-evaluated the pre-specified volatility input and determined that this did not preclude the Warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s stock. As a result, the Warrants are accounted for as an equity instrument beginning on May 31, 2024.

In addition, during such period, the Company may not issue common stock or common stock equivalents in a subsequent financing with an effective price per share of common stock that is or may become lower than the then-effective conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock without the consent of the significant purchasers, which must include AIGH and its affiliates for so long as they are holding at least $
In the event that the Company issues common stock or common stock equivalents in a subsequent financing prior to the time the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the Purchase Agreement provides that if a significant purchaser reasonably believes that any of the terms and conditions of the subsequent financing are more favorable to an investor in the subsequent financing than the terms of the June 2023 PIPE, such significant purchaser has the right to require the Company to amend the terms of the June 2023 PIPE to include such more favorable term for such significant purchaser. This provision may make it more expensive to obtain additional capital prior to an uplisting because it permits any significant purchaser to “cherry pick” the terms of the subsequent financing and to require any term deemed to be more favorable to be included retroactively in the terms of the June 2023 PIPE. This provision also potentially creates uncertainty around the terms of a subsequent financing because the significant purchasers have the right to review terms of a completed subsequent financing before deciding which, if any, of the terms thereof they find more favorable to them.
The Purchase Agreement provides that, until June 14, 2025, a significant purchaser may participate in a subsequent transaction by exchanging some or all of its Series A-1 Preferred Stock having a stated value equal to its subscription amount in the subsequent financing. This provision may adversely affect the amount of capital the Company raises in a subsequent financing, as it permits a significant purchaser to roll its existing investment into the new financing rather than being required to invest cash. This provision also has the potential to make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital as other investors may want to provide all or a larger portion of the capital provided in the subsequent financing or may require the Company to raise a minimum amount of new capital or may be unwilling to commit to provide financing without knowing how much of the subsequent financing will be provided by the significant purchasers in cash.
18
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when needed, the Company may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate commercialization, its research and product development, or grant rights to develop and market its products that the Company would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Determining the appropriate fair value of share-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for share options, the expected life of the option, and expected share price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its share option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.
The Company did not issue any options during the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued options for

10. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities, except for those shares that are issuable for little or no cash consideration. Diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares reflects the dilutive effect, if any, of potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In periods with reported net operating losses, all common stock options and warrants are generally deemed anti-dilutive such that basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are equal.

The valuation of the warrants was determined using option pricing models. These models use inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued at the measurement date, expected volatility, risk free interest rate and expected life of the instrument. Since our common stock was not publicly traded until February 2022 there has been insufficient volatility data available. Accordingly, we have used an expected volatility based on historical common stock volatility of our peers. The Company initially accounted for the warrants as derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, adjusting the fair value at the end of each reporting period. Upon the Company’s uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 31, 2024 certain provisions within the warrant agreements were no longer in effect. As a result, the warrants are accounted for as an equity instrument with the balance of the derivative liability on May 31, 2024 being transferred to Additional Paid-In Capital.
The fair value of the common warrants was determined by using an option pricing model assuming the following:
May-24 | December 31 | |||||
2024 |
| 2023 | ||||
Expected term (years) |
| |||||
Risk-free interest rate |
| |||||
Expected volatility |
| |||||
Expected dividend yield |
| |||||
Additionally, the Company had determined that the warrant liability was most appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the option pricing models against the fair-value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair-value classification as called for in ASC 820. There are six inputs: closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of evaluation; the exercise price of the warrants; the remaining term of the warrants; the volatility of the Company’s stock over that term; annual rate of dividends; and the risk-free rate of return. Of those inputs, the exercise price of the warrants and the remaining term are readily observable in the warrant agreements. The annual rate of dividends is based on the Company’s historical practice of not granting dividends. The closing price of SmartKem stock would fall under Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy as it is a quoted price in an active market (ASC 820-10). The risk-free rate of return is a Level 2 input as defined in ASC 820-10, while the historical volatility is a Level 3 input as defined in ASC 820. Since the lowest level input is a Level 3, the Company determined the warrant liability was most appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value as of December 31, 2023 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value. In general, the fair values were determined using Level 3:

Substantially all our operating losses have resulted from expenses incurred in connection with research and development activities and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations.
Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with three months ended September 30, 2023
Revenue and Cost of revenue
We had no revenue or cost of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2024. We had revenue of $3.0 thousand and cost of revenue of $1.0 thousand in the same period of 2023. Both revenues and related cost of
25
revenue are a result of sales of OTFT backplanes and TRUFLEX® materials for customer assessment and development purposes.
Other operating income
Other operating income was $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.3 million in the same period of 2023. The primary source of the income is related to a research grant and research and development tax credits.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses were $3.1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Research and development expenses are incurred for the development of TRUFLEX® inks to make OTFT circuits and consist primarily of payroll and technical development costs. The research and development expenses represent 48.1% and 53.1% of the total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Research and development expenses decreased $64 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period for the prior year. This decrease is primarily related to lower personnel expenses, offset in part by higher technical service costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and professional services such as accounting, legal services and investor relations. These expenses represent 50.5% and 42.9% of our total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period for the prior year. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in personnel expenses as well as professional service fees primarily related to business development initiatives.
Non-Operating income/(expense)
We had a gain of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to the valuation of the warrant liability, with no similar gain in the same period of 2024. We recorded a loss on foreign currency of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, with no similar loss in the same period of 2024.
Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2023
Revenue and Cost of revenue
We had revenue of $40.0 thousand and cost of revenue of $32.0 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We had revenue of $27.0 thousand and cost of revenue of $23.0 thousand in the same period of 2023. Both revenues and related cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are a result of sales of OTFT backplanes and TRUFLEX® materials for customer assessment and development purposes.
Other operating income
Other operating income was $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $0.7 million in the same period of 2023. The primary source of the income is related to a research grant and research and development tax credits.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses were $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $8.3 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of $0.5 million.
Research and development expenses are incurred for the development of TRUFLEX® inks to make OTFT circuits and consist primarily of payroll and technical development costs. The research and development expenses represent 44.8% and 49.4% of the total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Research and development expenses decreased $0.1 million for the
26
nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period for the prior year. This decrease is primarily related to lower personnel expenses, offset in part by higher technical service costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and professional services such as accounting, legal services and investor relations. These expenses represent 54.4% and 48.4% of our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period for the prior year. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in personnel expenses as well as professional service fees primarily related to the NASDAQ uplisting and business development initiatives.
Non-Operating income/(expense)
We recorded a gain of $0.7 million related to the valuation of the warrant liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a gain of $0.5 million for the same period in 2023. We had transaction costs of $0.2 million related to a private placement financing for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 with no similar costs in the same period of 2024. We recorded a loss on foreign currency transactions of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to gain of $0.2 million in the same period in 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $1.8 million compared with $8.8 million as of December 31, 2023. We believe this will not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements and that we will require additional capital funding to continue our operations and research development activity. It is possible this period could be shortened if there are any significant increases in spending or more rapid progress of development programs than anticipated.
Our expected cash payments over the next twelve months include (a) $1.6 million to satisfy accounts payable and accrued expenses and (b) $0.2 million to satisfy the lease liabilities. Additional expected cash payments beyond the next twelve months include $31 thousand of lease liabilities.
Our future viability is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations. We will need to obtain additional funds to satisfy our operational needs and to fund our sales and marketing efforts, research and development expenditures, and business development activities. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate sufficient cash through revenue, management’s plans are to finance our working capital requirements through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our existing security holders will likely experience dilution. If we borrow money, the incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations. If we enter into a collaboration, strategic alliance or other similar arrangement, we may be forced to give up valuable rights. There can be no assurance however that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the market demand for our products and services, the quality of product development efforts, management of working capital, and continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of services. If we are unable to substantially increase revenues, reduce expenditures, or otherwise generate cash flows for operations, then we will need to raise additional funding.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.4 million. The increase is related to the payout of bonuses and payments made related to the NASDAQ uplisting and business development initiatives.
Contractual Payment Obligations
Our principal commitments primarily consist of obligations under leases for office space and purchase commitments in the normal course of business for research and development facilities and services, communications infrastructure, and administrative services. We expect to fund these commitments from our cash balances and working capital.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Our fair value measurements are generally related to a warrant liability and amendments to preferred stock. The models used for these fair value calculations use inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued at the measurement date, expected volatility, risk free interest rate and expected life of the instrument. Since our common stock is so thinly traded there is insufficient volatility data available. Accordingly, we have used an expected volatility based on historical common stock volatility of our peers.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the first quarter of 2024 a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was identified relating to the complex financial reporting and accounting associated with the Consent, Conversion and Amendment Agreement the Company entered into on January 26, 2024, a non-cash item. None of the Company’s filed financial statements are impacted. The September 30, 2024 financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q reflect the appropriate accounting for this transaction and no prior financial statements were impacted.
Remediation
In connection with the preparation of its quarterly report for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 management continues to implement measures designed to ensure that the control deficiency contributing to the material weakness is remediated, such that the controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.
While we believe that these actions will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness, it will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2024.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Aside from the steps taken to address the material weakness discussed above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the 10-K may not be the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Except as set forth below there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the 10-K.
Certain of our partners are and many of our potential customers will be located in Taiwan, which increases the risk that a natural disaster, epidemic, labor strike, war or political unrest could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Certain of our partners, including The Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (“ITRI”), are located in Taiwan. In addition, we expect that many of our potential customers will be located in Taiwan, where the bulk of display manufacturing occurs. From time to time, Taiwan has been impacted by significant seismic activity in the area, including earthquakes and related aftershocks, and it is expected that similar events will happen in the future. Because of the relatively small size of Taiwan and the proximity of our partners and future customers to each other, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, floods, other natural disasters, epidemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak, political unrest, war, labor strikes or work stoppages could simultaneously affect our partners’ production capability, our ability to supply our customers, and our customers’ ability to produce products incorporating our technology. As a result, we may be subject to unanticipated costs and delays that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We identified a material weakness in connection with our internal financial reporting controls. Although we are taking steps to remediate this material weakness, there is no assurance we will be successful in doing so in a timely manner, or at all, and we may identify other material weaknesses.
In connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the first quarter of 2024 a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting was identified relating to the complex financial reporting and accounting associated with the Consent, Conversion and Amendment Agreement we entered into on January 26, 2024, a non-cash item. None of the Company’s filed financial statements are impacted.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reporting. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
If we are not able to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or if we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements or guarantee that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Any failure of our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could cause our investors to lose confidence in our publicly reported information, cause the market price of our stock to decline, expose us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, or impact our results of operations.
30
We can give no assurance that the measures we are taking and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
If we fail to meet all applicable Nasdaq Capital Market requirements and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and the market price of our common stock could decrease and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, and if we are unable to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements, including the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2.5 million set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), our shares may be delisted from Nasdaq, which could reduce the liquidity of our common stock materially and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees, suppliers, customers and business development opportunities. Such a delisting likely would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. Further, if we were to be delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock may no longer be recognized as a “covered security,” and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Thus, delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, would significantly impact the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively impact the value and liquidity of our common shares.
Our recurring losses from operations have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have recognized recurring losses, and as of September 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $109.8 million. We anticipate operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to research funding, further development of our technology and products and expenses related to the commercialization of our products. These efforts may be more costly than we expect, and we may not be able to generate revenue to offset our increased operating expenses. We expect our cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million as of September 30, 2024 to be insufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the filing of this 10-Q. Our forecast of the period of time through which our current financial resources will be adequate to support our operations and the costs to support our general and administrative and research and development activities are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available, on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to generate significant revenue, the market demand for our products, the quality of product development efforts including potential joint collaborations, management of working capital, and the continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of services.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our working capital requirements through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making
31
acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or products, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate commercialization, our research and product development, or grant rights to develop and market our products that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves, it may also impact our ability to continue as a going concern. The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause others to choose not to deal with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual obligations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On September 10, 2024, we issued 30,000 shares of common stock to a consultant with a value of $152.4 thousand. Such issuances were exempt from registration under 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
