Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific revenue and expense figures for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, in the Company's Form 10-Q, as this 8-K only provides the full-year forecast.
- Confirm the current cash position and liquidity runway, as this filing does not disclose cash balances or debt levels.
- Review the risk factors in the most recent Form 10-K regarding the Company's ability to raise capital, given the projected net loss of $14.5 million.
- Monitor the progress of clinical trials for product candidates, as delays could materially impact the forecasted losses and future revenue potential.
