| Malta Grant | Malta Grant U.S. GAAP does not provide authoritative guidance regarding the receipt of economic benefits from government entities in return for compliance with certain conditions. Therefore, based on ASC 105-10-05-2, non-authoritative accounting guidance from other sources was considered by analogy in determining the appropriate accounting treatment, the Company elected to apply International Accounting Standards 20 – Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and recognizes the expected reimbursements from the Republic of Malta as deferred income. As reimbursable operating expenses are incurred, a receivable is recognized (reflected within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets) and income is recognized in a similar systematic basis over the same periods in the consolidated statements of operations. On January 25, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with the government of Malta for a grant of up to €100 thousand or $107 thousand, in terms of the ‘Investment Aid to produce the COVID-19 Relevant Product’ program, to support the proposed investment. The estimated value of the grant is €137 thousand or $146 thousand, at an aid intensity of 75% to cover eligible wage costs incurred after February 1, 2022 in relation to new employees engaged specifically for the implementation of the project. On September 22, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment agreement that enables the Company to submit eligible employee expenses for reimbursement by October 31, 2022. The grant was approved in January 2022, however, the request for payment was not approved and management abandoned the agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred no expenses that are reimbursable under the grant. As of June 30, 2026, no amounts provided under this grant were received. On January 2, 2024, an agreement became effective between the Company and government of Malta and the University of Malta. The government of Malta has appointed the Managing Authority to administer the funds granted by it as the national contribution to the Technology Development Program 2023 Call. The project's effective date is on January 2, 2024. The grant funds shall be transferred into three separate tranches: Pre-financing (50%) resulting in €38 thousand or $40 thousand, interim financing 30% resulting in €23 thousand or $24 thousand, and retention (20%) resulting in €15 thousand or $16 thousand. On May 3, 2024 the Company received the pre-financing tranche, meanwhile on April 2, 2026 the Company received the interim financing tranche. The Company recognized $39 thousand as grant income related to these grants during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
