Financial Position and Capital Needs - As of April 30, 2025, the company had $3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and raised an additional $4.0 million in February 2025, but this funding is insufficient to support operations for the next twelve months [161]. - The company must raise substantial additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of AL001 and ALZN002, which may involve significant dilution for existing shareholders [161]. - The independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to insufficient capital [164]. Product Development and Regulatory Approval - The company has two product candidates, AL001 and ALZN002, which require extensive clinical evaluation and regulatory approval before generating any revenue [166]. - The company has not yet submitted AL001 or ALZN002 for regulatory approval, which is necessary before commercial distribution can begin [180]. - The regulatory approval process for AL001 and ALZN002 is uncertain and resource-intensive, potentially delaying commercialization [202]. - The company plans to seek breakthrough therapy designation for both AL001 and ALZN002, which may provide additional guidance from the FDA during the development process [215]. - The company has not yet received breakthrough therapy designation or qualified for expedited development, which could extend the development timeline [216]. Market Risks and Competition - The company faces substantial competition, which may impact pricing and market acceptance of its products [188]. - If competitors develop safer, more effective, or less expensive products, the company's commercial opportunity could be significantly reduced [236]. - The high rate of failure for drug candidates in clinical trials poses a significant risk to the company's product development [206].

Operational Challenges - The company expects substantial increases in expenses over the next few years due to the capital-intensive nature of biotechnology product development, particularly for AL001 and ALZN002 [160]. - Clinical trials for AL001 and ALZN002 are expected to be expensive and time-consuming, with potential for delays or cancellations [210]. - The company anticipates challenges in hiring qualified personnel due to intense competition in the biopharmaceutical field [296]. Intellectual Property Risks - The company may need to litigate to protect its intellectual property rights, which could be costly and distract management from core business activities [243]. - There is a risk that trade secrets and proprietary information may be inadequately protected, allowing competitors to develop similar products [245]. - The strength and enforceability of the company's patents may be uncertain, potentially threatening its ability to commercialize products [254].
