Material Changes and Recent Developments

The underwriters have been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the shares sold. The filing notes that financial closing procedures for Q3 2021 are not yet complete, and actual results may differ materially from the preliminary estimates provided.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Going Concern: The auditor's report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, included a going concern paragraph. The company states that recurring losses and the need for significant additional cash resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern beyond one year from the date of the prospectus supplement.
Capital Needs: The company expects to need additional capital to operate its business, which may not be available on favorable terms. If additional capital cannot be raised, the company may have to delay, curtail, or eliminate commercialization and product development activities.
Operational Risks: The end-to-end production cycle takes between seven and 12 months, requiring substantial investment in raw materials. The company is working to expand commercial operations at its Boca Facility and improve supply-chain capabilities.
