VivoSim Labs facing Nasdaq equity deficiency, 1.9-month runway despite $9M raised July 2026

VivoSim Labs received a Nasdaq notice on July 24, 2026, stating it failed to maintain the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), based on its March 31, 2026 fiscal year-end equity deficit of $(1.1) million. The company must submit a compliance plan by September 3, 2026, and may receive up to 180 days (until January 16, 2027) to cure. Despite closing a $4 million PIPE on July 17, 2026, and receiving a $5 million milestone payment from Eli Lilly in July 2026 (both post-balance-sheet events), the June 30, 2026 balance sheet still showed negative equity of $(2.3) million and cash of $1.67 million against a $10.8 million annual burn rate.

HCW Biologics restates Q1 EPS, raises equity while cash drops to <1 month; hearings panel now public

On August 14, 2026, HCW Biologics filed an Item 4.02 non-reliance 8-K announcing that its Q1 2026 earnings-per-share calculation was materially misstated due to incorrect application of the two-class method for participating warrants; reported EPS of $2.19 overstated the correct figure by $0.80 per share (post-split basis). The company disclosed a material weakness in controls over technical accounting for complex warrant instruments. Concurrently, the company filed Q2 2026 results showing liquidity of $741,324 as of June 30, 2026—implying under one month of runway at current burn—and reported facing a Nasdaq hearings panel for listing deficiencies.
