If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the Company seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check appropriate box.)

 

x           (a)          The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

The Company is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the prescribed date without unreasonable effort or expense because the Company requires additional time to evaluate and finalize the valuation of certain assets classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023. The Company believes that the Quarterly Report will be completed and filed within the five day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

​

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 the Registrant expects to recognize $6.7 million of revenue from product sales, which is included in discontinued operations, $0.6 million of revenue from process development and $0.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized $5.98 million of product sales revenue, which is included in discontinued operations, and $0.5 million of grant revenue.

We expect net loss before income taxes from continuing operations to be $(11.2) million and $(35.8) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. We expect net loss from discontinued operations before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to increase due to a possible impairment of a disposal component, however we cannot estimate the exact impact of the impairment at this time because the valuation for such impairment has not been finalized.
