BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results of operations for the periods presented. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period. The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025 (“2024 Annual Report”).

| CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH |
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has $8.2 million held as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (as explained below), of which $4.1 million is held as cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $2.4 million held as cash and cash equivalents, of which $1.1 million was held as cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and has cash balances in accounts which exceed the federally insured limits as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

| SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS |
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments consist of treasury securities classified as held-to-maturity and have original maturities greater than 90 days but, less than one year as of the balance sheet date. Held-to-maturity investments are recorded at the amortized cost basis until date of maturity and are carried at amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses, which approximates their fair value determined based on Level 2 inputs.
|
| USE OF ESTIMATES |
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based on amounts that differ from those estimates.
|
| PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET |
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company regularly evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment, net, to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

| NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE |
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per share excludes the effect of dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options and warrants to the extent dilutive. Basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect. In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-13, exercisable penny options are included in the calculation of weighted average basic and diluted earnings per share.
